A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
SUPPORTING RATIFICATION OF THE PERIPHERAL CANAL REFERENDUM
WHEREAS, the increasing possibility of serious water shortages
within the next decade is a source of continuing concern to all
residents and businesses in the City of Redlands and Southern
California; and
WHEREAS, the Peripheral Canal would assure a stabilized quality
of water not now enjoyed by State Water Project Contractors and
permit Southern California water utilities to commit funds to waste
water reclamation, thereby reducing both long term demands for water
and providing insurance against the effects of draught; and
WHEREAS, the City of Redlands and attendant municipal entities
and representatives is extremely concerned over the failure to start
the long-delayed project; and
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court has ruled that by 1985, Southern
California' s supply of water from the Colorado River will be cut
in half; and
WHEREAS , the timely development of the Peripheral Canal Project
is necessary to ensure the future orderly growth and development of
the economic base of business and industry in the City of Redlands
and Southern California, and once agreement is reached, it will take
many years to complete the work necessary to open such a canal;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Redlands does support the Peripheral Canal Project and
does urge all voters to also support this project by approving the
Peripheral Canal Referendum.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Redlands be directed to send a copy of this resolution to Senator
Robert Presley and to Assemblyman William Leonard.
