1980; and
WHEREAS, the voters of the State of California on November
4, 1980 adopted the California Parklands Act of 1980 and authorized the
issuance of bonds in the amount of $285 million to provide funds to

priority projects; and
WHEREAS, Section 5096.156 of the Act requires that each county
of the State submit a priority plan of expenditure to the State Department
of Parks and Recreation prior to January 1, 1982; and
WHEREAS, the plan must be approved by at least 50 percent of
the cities and districts within the County representing at least 50 per-
cent of the population of the cities and districts, and by the County
Board of Supervisors; and
WHEREAS, similar provisions were required for the Nejedly-
Hart State, Urban, and Coastal Park Bond Act of 1976 wherein more than 50
percent of the jurisdictions representing more than 50 percent of the
population agreed that the expenditure plan would provide 25 percent of
the available funds to Los Angeles County in recognition of its regional
park and local park responsibilities and the remaining 75 percent be made
available to cities and districts on an equal per capita basis except
that no jurisdiction would receive less than $10,000; and
WHEREAS, all cities and districts within Los Angeles County were
invited to send park and recreation representatives to a December 4, 1980
meeting wherein the required priority plan for expenditure was discussed
and approved by the majority of those in attendance;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Downey
hereby approves the priority plan for expenditure for Los Angeles County as
approved at the December 4, 1980 meeting:
I. Population estimates by the State Department of Finance for
January 1, 1980 will be the basis on which funds under
provisions of Section 5096.151(a) of the California Park-
lands Act will be allocated to counties by the State. Cities
in and the County of Los Angeles are eligible to receive
$25,410,583. Under the priority plan for expenditure,
