Item to be -presented y:
CONSENT CALENDAR Jeff Kolin
DATE: October 30, 1990
SUBJECT: Resolution Supporting Proposition 149
California Park, Recreation, and Wildlife Enhancement Act of 1990
Resolution 90-190
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
BACKGROUND
Proposition 149 would authorize $437 million in general obligation bonds for the
development, rehabilitation, and restoration of local and state parks, beaches,
recreation areas, greenbelts, trails, museums, zoos, and for coastal access,
historic preservation, and wildlife enhancement. Proposition 149 guarantees
that every community will receive funds based on population to improve local
park and recreation facilities. Of the $184 million contained in Proposition
149 for local grants, nearly $90 million will beallocated to cities, counties,
and districts through the per capita program and the Roberti- Z ' berg -Harris
program.
General obligation bonds have provided funding for development and acquisition
programs of state and local parks since the 1920s. Historically, park bonds
have enjoyed overwhelming voter approval. The City of Santa Clarita has used
past general obligation bonds for the construction of Canyon Country Park and
has received grants under the Robe rti-ZIberg-Harris program for the construction
of a new restroom and concession building at Newhall Park. The California Park,
Recreation, and Wildlife Enhancement Act of 1990 (Proposition 149) would provide
the City with a continuing source of funds for development and construction of
new -facilities and parks.
Proposition 149 is one of the many issues which has qualified for a November 6
ballot. A resolution supporting the bond act will help ensure that our local
residents recognize the importance of this funding measure to the continued
development of park and recreation facilities in our community.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 90-190 supporting
Proposition 149 - The California Park, Recreation,. and Wildlife Enhancement Act
of 1990.
