extent that the bonds are purehas",d by California tax-
payeICs in lieu of taxable bonds, the state would experi-
ence a loss of income tax revenue. .
State and local agencies would receive minor operat-
ing revenues from the facilities acquired or constructed
'with the bond funds. These operating revenues proba-
bly would not be sufficient to cover in full the continu-
ing operating and. maintenance costs which would
result from the acquisition or development of park or
recreation facilities.
. To the extent privately owned lands are acquired by
the state under this measure, local governments would
experience a reduction in property tax revenues. This
. .,loss would depend on (1) the location of such acquisi-
tions and (2) the assessed value of lands purchased by
the state. Under existing law, state payments to school
districts would increase to cover the revenue loss of the
school districts.

Parklands Acquisition and Development Program
Official Title and Summary Prepared by the Attorney General
FOR THE PARKLANDS ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
This act provides for meeting the urgent recreational requirements of the people of California
through the acquisition, development, rehabilitation, and restoration of state and local parks, public
beaches and other important coastal resources, recreation arcas and recreational facilities, and his-
torical resources pursuant to a bond issue of two hundred eighty-five million dollars ($285,000,000).

Analysis by the Legislative Analyst
I
I
I.
Background:
In past years, the state has financed much of the ac-
quisition and development of state and local parks, his-
torical properties, and recreational facilities through
the sale of general obligation bonds. (A general obliga-
tion bond is backed by the full faith and credit of the
government that issues it.) The 1964, 1970, 1974 and'
1976 Park Bond Acts provided a total of $740 million, of
which approximately $683 million was for state park
acquisition, development and restoration projects and
grants for local park projects. By July 1981, it is an-
ticipated that most of these funds will have been spent
or encumbered.
The state has also financed state and local parks on a
"pay as you go" basis, using state tax and other reve-
nues.
Proposal:
This proposition would authorize the sale of $285 mil-
lion in state general obligation bonds to finance the
acquisition, development, and restoration of state and
local parklands, coastal lands and historical resources.
The proceeds of this bond issue would be deposited
in the Parklands Fund of 1980. These proceeds would be
available for appropriation by the Legislature' for the
following purposes:
(a) Grants to counties, cities and dis-
tricts for acquisition, develop-
ment, rehabilitation or restora-
tion of real property for parks,
beaches, recreational and histo-
rical resources ................................
(b) Acquisition, development, reha-
bilitation or restoration of real
property for the state park sys-
tem (including $10 million for
$85,000,000

(c) Coastal resources (consisting of
$60 million for acquisition or de-
velopment of real property for
the state park system, and $30
million for (1) grants to counties,
cities, and districts to finance lo-
cal coastal programs, and (2)
projects in the San Francisco Bay
area and the Santa Monica Moun-
tains zone) ......................................
(d) Coastal agricultural protection,

hancement to be expended by
the State Coastal Conservancy..

marily for urban parks..................

$285,000,000
The bond act contains provisions to limit or guide the
state and local agencies in the expenditure of their por-
tions of the bond proceeds. These provisions are too
extensive to be summarized.
Fiscal Effect:
Assuming an intere.st rate of 7 percent and a 20-year
repayment period, the interest on $285 million of gen-
eral obligation bonds would be approximately $210 mil-
lion. The principal and interest cost of paying off the
bonds authorized by this measure, therefore, would to-
tal $495 million. This cost would be paid by the State
General Fund. In addition, state and local bond interest
costs could be increased by an unknown, but probably
moderate, amount if the sale of the parklands bonds
results in higher interest rates for state and local bonds.
The interest paid on these bonds would be exempt
from the state personal.income tax. Therefore, to the

Hebuttal to Argument Against Proposition 1
The opponents' argument overlooks the fact that
Proposition 1 responds directly to current public de-
mand for morc campsites, trails, beach access, and other
development at state and local parks.
They do not dispute the need for better recreational
opportunities closer. to population centers, \vhich
Propositio'n 1 seeks to provide. Also, they are simply
wrong when they say that more than $220 million will
be allocated for acquisition. In fact, at least half of the
money for the state park systen1 is required to be spent
for development, and all funds in Proposition 1 Gin be
spent for development of existing state and local parks.
Present trends indicate that about 85 percent of local
expenditures will be for development.
Further, the opponents' assertion that about half of
California is publicly owned is true, but meaningless.
Over 96 percent of this property is owned by the fed-
end government, I11ainly in arcas far away from citics.
Obviously, a desert artillery range isn't useful for recre-
ation. Only about 1)12 percent of California is state and
local parklands. .
. Proposition] pr<?vides for tight fiscal controls, con-
trary to what the opponcnts say, Every cent authorized
by Proposition 1 must be included in the annual State
Budget Bill before it may be spent. (See Section
. . 5096.206 of this measure, printed in this pamphlet.) Ac-
cordingly, economic conditions can be taken into ac-
count when making appropriations for parklands, and
bonds cannot be solei without legislative approval.
Preserve and iInprove your state and local park lands.

Parkl;mds Acquisition and Development Program
Argument in Favor of Proposition 1
Your vote FOR Proposition 1 will enable your com-
munity and the state to continue to satisfy YOllr needs
for recreational opportunities and facilities.
In recent years, California's population growth rate
has slowed. But shifts in population to new communities
and the high cost of' gasoline have resulted in an in-
creased need to provide local and state parks, open-
space areas, camping opportunities, and other recrea-
tion facilitie, closer to the people who use them.
Recreational preferences are changing, too. :lvtore
people than ever before are jogging, taking short day
hikes, and bicycling. Many communities simply do not
have the trails and other facilities to accommodate resi-
dents who pursue these inexpensive and healthful ac-
tivities. Changes in population groups have created
new demands for facilities; in many neighborhoods,
facilities for senior citizens and other special groups are
unavailable.
With rising costs, state and local governnlents are
increasingly unable to finance urgently needed
rehabilitation, maintenance, and expansion of existing
facilities. State parks are overcrowded, and improve-
ments have been deferred repeatedly. During the sum-
mer of 1980, it is expected that the state park system will
have to turn away more than 1,000,000 people who want
to visit state parks and beaches. Many local facilities will
also be overused.
Your vote FOR Proposition 1 will make possible:
. Expanded and improved neighborhood recreation
facilities financed through state grants to your local gov-
ernment or park district.
. tvfore campsites, renovation of rundown facilities,
and further improvements of the state park system.
. New and expanded state parks near population cen-
ters, and in scenic coastal areas.
. Projects for enhancing yo~r access to and enjo
ment of coastal and waterfront areas, through a pr
gram of grants to local government.
. Preservation of rapidly disappearing historic Ianl
marks in your community, for the enjoyment and edl
cation of present and future generations.
Proposition I makes economic sense~ Inflation an
rapid residential and commercial development will il
creasingly restrict the opportunifies to develop and a,
quire parklands. These opportunities will becoITI
prohibitively expensive, and will be lost forever if '"
wait. The bond issue proposed in Proposition 1 will en;
ble these costs to be spread prudently over a period (
years.
Expenditures for parks help the local economy'
well. A recent study determined that every dollar spei
by local government for park improvements generatE
$3.46 in economic activity in the community.
Proposition 1 has bipartisan support; it has been er
clorsed by many statewide organizations representin
business, labor, conservation, park users, and local gO\
ernment.
Vote FOR Proposition 1: Vote to assure more ani
better recreational oppor~unities for all Californians.
