A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 44
WHEREAS, an adequate supply of good quality water is essential to the
health and safety of California's ever growing population; and
WHEREAS, adequate supplies of good quality water are vital to the main-
tenance and development of the State's economy; particularly California's two
largest industries, tourism and agriculture, generating $45 billion in annual
revenue for California; and
WHEREAS, locally sponsored water conservation, groundwater recharge,
and drainage projects are among the most cost effective ways to help insure
adequate supplies of good quality water; and,
WHEREAS, in 1984, the California electorate approved a Clean Water Bond
Act which provided $10 million for low interest loans to water agencies for
water conservation projects; and
WHEREAS, application for those loans exceeded available funds by nine
times, demonstrating the need for such a program; and
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Control Bond Act,
Proposition 44, on the June ballot would provide $150 million for loans to water
agencies for water conservation, groundwater recharge, and drainage projects;
and
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Bond Act, Proposition
44, would be an extremely cost effective measure for Californians, costing an
average of 37 cents per household annually; and
WHEREAS, funds available from Proposition 44 are expected to be a significant
help in developing locally sponsored water conservation, drainage, and ground-
water recharge projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Redlands supports Proposition 44 and urges its passage by the California electorate
on June 3, 1986.
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 20th day of May, 1986.
