A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, IN SUPPORT OF THE
GET OUTDOORS ACT OF 2004 (H.R. 4100)
WHEREAS, in April 2004, U.S. Representatives George Miller of California and Don
Young of Alaska introduced the Get Outdoors Act of 2004 (H.R. 4100); and
WHEREAS, the Get Outdoors Act seeks to address the nation's obesity crisis by
providing funds for recreational places across the country, thereby expanding opportunities for
Americans to stay physically active; and
WHEREAS, the Get Outdoors Act of 2004 is a bill to establish a permanent trust fund to
get Americans outdoors by providing access to parks and recreation areas in urban and rural
communities, preservation of historic places, and promotion of healthy and active lifestyle, and
to provide for hunting, angling, and wildlife viewing for the people of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the bill encourages more recreation activity, because studies have shown
that adequate lighting, good trails, easy access, and community based recreation infrastructure all
result in increases in physical activity; and
WHEREAS, more physical activity will help decrease this nation's obesity epidemic; and
WHEREAS, the Get Outdoors Act proactively addresses this problem by providing a
permanent source of annual funding for local governments, states, and federal agencies to
encourage physical activity and recreation in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita does hereby resolve
