A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS, COUNTY OF
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, ENDORSING PROPOSITION 130, THE ANCIENT
FOREST AND WILDLIFE PROTECTION AND BOND ACT OF 1990.
WHEREAS, less than five percent (5%) of California 's ancient
redwood forests remain uncut and other forested areas are destroyed
at an alarming rate as well; and
WHEREAS, these forests should not simply be considered as a
marketable product but must be recognized as oases of beauty and
life that clean our air, hold and build the soil, control moisture
and lessen temperature, lessen noise and provide habitat for
wildlife, some of which is unique; and
WHEREAS, the environment of the State of California has become
increasingly manmade, where the greater part of our citizens live
in rapidly urbanizing and denaturized cities and towns; and
WHEREAS, these forests, together with their resident wildlife,
are of inestimable value to the residents of the State of
California and should be preserved and protected, cultivated and
cared for as a vital component of our heritage and lives today as
well as for future generations of Californians; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 130 achieves the preservation and
protection of these forests by reforming timber harvest methods, by
allowing and providing funding for acquisition of forests, by
providing Californians an opportunity to observe and enjoy such
forests as public land and by providing funding to offset economic
hardships that may result as the Act is implemented.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Redlands as follows.
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Redlands endorses
Proposition 130, the Ancient Forest and Wildlife Protection and
Bond Act of 1990, and encourages all residents of the City of
Redlands to consider this Proposition as a means of preserving
beauty and recreational opportunities in very special settings for
all Californians to observe and enjoy.
Section 2 . The City Council of the City of Redlands hereby
authorizes and otherwise expresses permission of the use of the
name of the City of Redlands as an endorser of Proposition 130 when
used to inform, educate or otherwise communicate with the public
relative to the Act.
Adopted, signed and approved this 16th day of October 1990.
