A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
STATING ITS OPPOSITION TO PROPOSITION 13 , THE WATER
INITIATIVE, ON THE BALLOT FOR THE NOVEMBER 2, 1982
ELECTION
WHEREAS, the Water Initiative, Proposition 13 on the November
1982 ballot, could strip local elected officials of all substantive
authority in the management of local water matters and instead
will isolate that authority in a non-elected State board; and
WHEREAS , the Initiative is a major reversal of California
law which may remove all remaining sources of water from future
development; and
WHEREAS, this change may ultimately result in water rationing
in many cities in California before the end of the century; and
WHEREAS, the Initiative could deprive all Californians of the
clean, renewable energy production from the New Melones Dam
Hydroelectric Project; and
WHEREAS, the Initiative authorizes covert taxation without
public debate or voter approval;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of the
City of Redlands opposes this Initiative and urges all Californians
to vote NO on Proposition 13 on the November ballot.
