RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA SUPPORTING STATE PROPOSITION 1
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the pollution of our water is one of the gravest
crises facing California, and
WHEREAS, our lakes, our streams, our rivers and the ocean
are being poisoned by the filth pouring into them each day, and
WHEREAS, our water is being contaminated, our marine life
and environment destroyed and our food supply threatened, and
WHEREAS, more than 776 million gallons of untreated or
inadequately treated sewage is discharged daily into San Francisco
Bay alone and about 2 billion gallons of waste spewed into the ocean
statewide each day, and
WHEREAS, Proposition 1, a $250 million Clean Water bond
issue on the November 3rd ballot, will provide for the construction
of urgently needed water treatment facilities by municipalities and
local communities throughout California, and
WHEREAS, approval of Proposition 1 will qualify our state
for increases in federal funds up to $550 million for the eradication
of water pollution, plus $200 million more to be contributed by local
districts and cities where facilities are to be built, and thus approval
of the Clean Water bond measure is the vital first step in creating a
$1 billion fund to fight water pollution in California, and
WHEREAS, the job of combating water pollution in California
could not be undertaken without the funds provided by passage of
Proposition 1, and
WHEREAS, approval of Proposition 1 would provide a shot in
the arm to our economy through new jobs, expanded opportunities and
increased purchasing power.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby endorse Proposition 1 and urges all
citizens to vote YES at the November 3rd election.
