WHEREAS, California is facing challenges on many fronts, including
enormous population growth in the coming years, with 25 million new residents
expected by 2040; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and
Supply, Flood Control, River and Costal Protection Bond Act of 2006, contains
nearly $2 Billion in Statewide funding, including $51 Million specifically allocated to
the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, that can be used to implement park
projects like the Emerald Necklace; and
WHEREAS, California's investments in infrastructure, especially clean and
safe drinking water, natural resources and costal protection, are not keeping pace
with our population growth; and
WHEREAS, Voters have passed a series of resource bond measures since
1996 to support critical program areas including water quality and supply, flood
control, state and local parks projects, pollution control projects and air pollution
mitigation to fill the enormous backlog of resource infrastructure needs in
California, and
WHEREAS, Current bond funds will run out as early as 2006 and critical
programs will go unfounded and new challenges, combined with a growing
population demand, will require more investments now to stay ahead of the curve;
and
WHEREAS, Current funding for natural resources and environmental
protection programs is critically low, making up less than 1 % of the over state
budget; and
