QUALITY BOND ACT.
WHEREAS, an adequate supply of good quality water is essential
to the health and safety of California's ever-growing population;
and
WHEREAS, adequate supplies of good quality water are vital to
the maintenance and development of the State's economy; particularly
California's two largest industries, tourism and agriculture,
generating $45 billion in annual revenue for California; and;
WHEREAS, locally sponsored water conservation, groundwater
recharge, and drainage projects are among the most cost effective
ways to help insure adequate supplies of good quality water; and
WHEREAS, in 1984, the California electorate approved a Clean
Water Bond Act which provided $10 million for low interest loans to
water agencies for water conservation projects; and
WHEREAS, application for those loans exceeded available funds
by nine times, demonstrating the need for such a program; and
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Control Bond
Act, Proposition 44, on the June ballot would provide $150 million
for loans to water agencies for water conservation, groundwater
recharge, and drainage projects; and
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Bond Act,
Proposition 44, would be an extremely cost measure for Californians
costing an average of 37 cents per household annually; and
WHEREAS, funds available from Proposition 44 are expected to be
a significant help in developing locally sponsored water conservation,
drainage, and groundwater recharge projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of La Quinta, California, supports Proposition 44, The Water Conser-
vation and Water Quality Control Bond Act, and urges its passage by
