A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS,
CALIFORNIA, FOR THE PURPOSE OF PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING A PROGRAM
TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND PLANT SPECIES OF CONCERN IN THE SAN
BERNARDINO VALLEY
WHEREAS, grave concern is mounting throughout the communities in the valley area
of San Bernardino County as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) continues the process
of evaluating various candidate animal and plant species that are found in the area to determine
if they should be listed as being either endangered or threatened pursuant to the Federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA); and
WHEREAS, the County, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, public agencies and
private enterprises, proposes to prepare a valley-wide multi-species Habitat Conservation Plan
(HCP) in order to resolve the inherent conflicts between land developers and rare, threatened
and endangered species preservation; and
WHEREAS, a proactive approach to this important issue is essential to ensure the
economic well-being of all interests, both public and private, within the San Bernardino Valley;
and
WHEREAS, a comprehensive HCP will vastly improve the position of all the
jurisdictions to provide for the development needed to create the employment opportunities that
are so essential to the economic vitality of the valley area and its citizens.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City will support the preparation of an HCP for the San Bernardino
Valley encompassing the area generally bounded by the county lines between San Bernardino
County and Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties on the west and south and the San
Bernardino National Forest Boundary on the north and east, and will consider participation in
a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) or other administrative structure, as deemed appropriate, to
implement the plan.
Section 2. The City will support this effort both by dedicating city staff time to supply
the necessary data required for preparation of an HCP and monetarily, in an amount that is
mutually agreed to in a fair and equitable manner between all of the local jurisdictions
participating in the HCP preparation.
