A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA FOR PROPOSITION 12
SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, CLEAN WATER,
CLEAN AIR, AND COASTAL PROTECTION BOND ACT OF 2000
WHEREAS, California's state, regional, and local parks serve as recreational, social, and
cultural centers for California's communities, providing important venues for youth
enrichment and safety; community identity, protection of natural and historic sites,
parkland and open space, and
WHEREAS, the state's commitment to state, regional, and local parks has dwindled over
the last decade thereby California and its communities have not kept pace with the needed
funding for rehabilitation, development, and acquisition, and
WHEREAS, during this same period of diminished funding for state, regional and local
parks, California's citizens have increased their visits to state and local parks, and
WHEREAS, California is known for its incredible natural resources of open space,
mountains, rivers, coastline, and forests that positively impact the state and local economy,
and
WHEREAS, California is largely an urban state where it is projected the state's population
will continue to grow by 18 million by 2020; thereby placing more pressure on existing
parkland and facilities, and
WHEREAS, California's economy is dependent upon maintaining a high quality of life that
includes attractive and safe public park and recreation facilities and services, and
WHEREAS, the last statewide park bond was passed in 1988, and
WHEREAS, the Safe Neighborhoods Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection
Bond Act of 2000 provides $2.1 billion for state and local park projects to preserve our
natural heritage and allow urban areas to expand much needed recreation facilities that
serve children, youth, seniors, and families.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA does resolve to support the passage
of the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act
of 2000, and encourages California voters to approve this bond act in March 2000.
