A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
IN SUPPORT OF THE PASSAGE OF PROPOSITION 12, THE
SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, CLEAN WATER, CLEAN AIR, AND COASTAL
PROTECTION BOND ACT OF 2000
WHEREAS, California's state, regional, and local parks serve as recreational, social, and
cultural centers for California's communities,providing important venues for youth enrichment and
safety, community identity,protection of natural and historic sites,parkland and open space; and
The state's commitment to state, regional, and local parks has dwindled over the last decade
thereby California and its communities have not kept pace with the needed funding for
rehabilitation, development, and acquisition; and
During this same period of diminished funding for state,regional and local parks,
California's citizens have increased their visits to state and local parks; and
California is known for its incredible natural resources of open space,mountains,rivers,
coastline, and forests that positively impact the state and local economy; and
California is largely an urban state where it is projected the state's population will continue to
grow by 18 million by the year 2020, thereby placing more pressure on existing parkland and
facilities; and
California's economy is dependent upon maintaining a high quality of life that includes
attractive and safe public park and recreation facilities and services; and
The last statewide park bond was passed in 1988; and
Proposition 12,the Safe Neighborhoods Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal
Protection Bond Act of 2000,provides $2.1 billion for state and local park projects to preserve our
natural heritage and allows urban areas to expand much needed recreation facilities that serve
children, youth, seniors, and families; and
Proposition 12, the Safe Neighborhoods Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal
Protection Bond Act of 2000, will provide the City of Huntington Beach with approximately$2.7
million for park acquisition, development and rehabilitation including funds for reconfiguration of
Edison, Murdy and Worthy Community Parks for youth sports, rest rooms at Carr and Greer Park,
picnic shelter rehabilitation citywide at neighborhood parks, Central Park small lot acquisition,
neighborhood park tot lot replacements,Central Park urban forest, and many other park and
recreation improvements.
