A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ENDORSING PROPOSITION 1
ON THE JUNE 4, 1974 STATEWIDE BALLOT
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
Almost 90% of the visitors to California' s parks and
beaches are residents of this state; and
Proposition 1 on the June 4th statewide ballot will pro-
vide 2 m' f f and e development of
� 50 million or new facilities the p
existing resources for historical features of the State Park
System, and for fish and wildlife conservation; and
Ninety million dollars 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 has increased in urgency because
of the energy crisis; and
These local parks will be created and developed at no
cost to the property taxpayer; and
Proposition 1 is a bond issue that will be repaid by
more than one generation of park users; and
The need for immediate action is accentuated by threat-
ened loss of potential parkland to development, and the in-
creasing cost of land,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby
directed to transmit a copy of this resolution to the appro-
priate members of the state legislature .
