PLAN
WHEREAS, a safe, clean and reliable water supply is critical to California's
economic and environmental future; and
WHEREAS, California's dependence on imported water supplies threatens both the
economy and the environment, especially during times of drought; California should
pursue new and innovative methods to become more water self sufficient by increasing

WHEREAS, the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) has developed
programs for underground water storage and environmental restoration in the Southern
California region that is home to nearly twenty-five(25%)percent of the State's population.
These programs will increase the water supply so the region will be completely self
sufficient during droughts, improve the quality and safety of the water supply, restore
habitat for native species, provide flood control, and create new wetlands and open space
in the region; and
WHEREAS, the California Legislature and the Governor should assure safe, clean
and reliable water is a priority for California by placing a water bond measure on the March
2000 ballot that provides significant funding for the SAWPA programs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Grand Terrace supports
the SAWPA Program and calls upon the Legislature and the Governor to place a water
bond on the Year 2000 ballot and provide funding for the SAWPA plan.
