Res. NO. 2000-52
EXHIBIT "A"
NON-POINT SOURCE POLLUTION
WHEREAS, we all share in the recreational and environmental benefits of clean
ocean water, migrating birds, and fishing; and
WHEREAS, all California cities share in the economic benefits of living along
our nation's coast; and
WHEREAS, a 1998 study conducted by San Francisco State University identified
$14 billion in direct revenue generated by California's beaches, with little of this revenue
going back to coastal cities; and
WHEREAS, non-point source pollution is a problem created by all of us and
should, therefore, be shared by all of us; and
WHEREAS, the coastal cities of California share the responsibility for reducing
air pollution with upstream, inland cities, so should inland cities share the responsibility
for reducing pollution contained in urban runoff with downstream, coastal cities because
we all live upwind and downstream; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has recognized the need to play a role in
building shared infrastructure,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the California League of Cities takes a
position in support of the concept that all California cities should share in the
responsibility for solving the non-point source pollution problem, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the California League of Cities encourages
the State of California to play an active role in building infrastructure improvements to
reduce the likelihood that pollution contained in urban runoff will reach our coastal
waters.
