THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY Of TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, in March of 2000, voters will have the opportunity to approve Proposition 13,
the Safe Drinking Water, Clean Water, Watershed Protection and Flood Protection Act. This
measure represents a shift in the management of water resources from the state level to
communities at the local level; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 13 represents an urgently needed investment in the water
infrastructure of California; and
WHEREAS, Preposition 13 will provide 1,000,000 acre-feet of much needed new dry-year
water supply, benefiting the people and industries located both within the Rancho California Water
District and across the state; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 13 would also make important improvements to water quality and
stabilize the core water supplies in the Bay-Delta, a fragile estuary and the source of drinking water
from more than 20 million Californians; and
WHEREAS, Enactment of this bond will bring greater certainty to the water supplies which
fuel California's economy and sustain the state's competitive edge. The investment will help
prepare California for an increase of 15 million people by 2020 through a variety of clean water,
watershed, flood protection and water supply improvement programs; and
WHEREAS, If adopted by the voters, Proposition 13 will provide tangible benefits for water
in nearly every city and county in the state, and protect our communities from the recurring
devastation of floods; and
WHEREAS, Statewide polling has found broad-based support among the electorate for
increased investment in water infrastructure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Temecula
hereby lists the City of Temecula as formally in support of Proposition 13 as listed on the March
