A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS SUPPORTING
THE COMMUNITY PARKLANDS ACT OF 1986 (PROPOSITION 43)
WHEREAS, local park and recreation capital improvements have been
financed in a large part by state grants over the past 20 years; and
WHEREAS, since 1964 voters have approved several bond issues which
provided funds for both state and local acquisitions and improvements; and
WHEREAS, the 1984 state park bond issue included funds for local park
agencies; however, grants approved under this program exceeded available funds
by $85.5 million; and
WHEREAS, Prop 43 would help to provide for the anticipated growth in
recreation needs as this state's population continues to rapidly increase; and
WHEREAS, the financial resources of local governments are limited and
alone cannot meet the constantly growing park and recreation needs of our
communities; and
WHEREAS, bond financing spreads the cost of park and recreation develop-
ment over a period of time so that those who benefit share in the payment; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 43 would authorize the state to issue $100 million
in bonds to fund grants to local park districts to be used to acquire and develop
new parks, build new facilities, establish new recreational trails, repair existing
facilities and roads, provide access to beaches, and acquire and preserve historical
sites and buildings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Redlands supports the Community Parklands Act of 1986 (Proposition 43) and
urges its citizens and community organizations to support said proposition.
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 20th day of May, 1986.
