WHEREAS, an adequate supply of good quality water is essential to the
health and safety of California's ever growing population; and

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 effective 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 HEREBY RESOLVED, that the City of National City
supports Proposition #44 and urges its passage by the California electorate on
June 3, 1986.
