RESOLUTION NO. 4322
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA URGING THE RESTORATION OF FUNDS FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE OLD SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL PARK IN
OLD TOWN SALT DIEGO
WHEREAS, the people of the State of California, in 1964,
overwhelmingly approved a bond issue to be used for park and recrea-
tion purposes, and
WHEREAS, the sum of two and one-half million dollars was
allocated from the proceeds of said bond issue for expenditure in the
San Diego area to acquire land for the site in old San Diego histori-
cal park in Old Town in the City of San Diego, and
WHEREAS, in order to realize the establishment of such a
park, the legislature has authorized the expenditure of monies from
the General Fund of the State in the sum of $579,000.00 for the
initial development of said Old Town park and said monies were con-
tained in the budget program sent to the Governor in 1967, and
WHEREAS, the acquisition and development of said park is
of vital interest not only to the City of San Diego but to the entire
metropolitan community including the citizens of the City of Chula
Vista, and
WHEREAS, said monies to be appropriated from the General
Fund have been deleted from the Governor's budget message, and
WHEREAS, while it is recognized that general reductions
and economies in the State Budget are essential for the operation of
the State, it is felt that this particular project, especially in
light of the two hundredth anniversary celebration of the City and
County of San Diego which will be celebrated in 1969, would make a
substantial contribution to the financial success of said celebration
and in turn generate a substantial number of tourist dollars.
