A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY ENDORSING
AND SUPPORTING BEACH, PARK AND
RECREATIONAL BONDS
(Proposition 1)
WHEREAS, nearly 1, 000, 000 people had to be turned away
from parks and beaches in California last year, because of overwhelming
demands being made on outdoor recreation; and
WHEREAS, almost 90% of the visitors to California's parks and
beaches are residents of this State; and
WHEREAS, $90 million of this will be granted directly to all
California counties for the use of local government, which throughout the
State is in dire need of park funds, while the demand for local parks had
increased in urgency because of the energy crisis; and
WHEREAS, these local parks will be created and developed at
no cost to the property taxpayer; and
WHEREAS, the need for immediate action is accentuated by
threatened loss of potential parkland to development, and the increasing
cost of land;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That this City Council hereby endorses Proposition 1,
for the preservation of our State's natural environment in the face of the
current park crisis, and calls on all Californians to cast a resounding YES
vote for Proposition 1 on June 4th.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution and appropriate distribution thereof.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of April 1974.
