1982-35 RESOLUTION NO. 82- 35
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE CONSTRUC-
TION OF A PRISON ANYWHERE WITHIN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY
WHEREAS, the citizens of Grand Terrace deserve assurances they will
be protected against the potential negative effect that would be created by
the development of a maximum security prison in the City of Adelanto or
anywhere in the County of San Bernardino; and
WHEREAS, San Bernardino County already has more than its share of
State prisons.
WHEREAS, Los Angeles County does not have a maximum security prison;
and
WHEREAS, the overburden on manpower of law enforcement agencies *woul'd ;
probably increase substantially, resulting in drastic increases in budgets-",for
police and safety protection; and
WHEREAS, a significant increase in litigation because of prison-
related writs and suits could result in a substantial increase in costs and
court delays for local residents; and
WHEREAS, there is no public transportation from Los Angeles area to
Adelanto; the use of local public transportation (Dial-A-Ride), subsidized
mainly from city and County 325 funds, would place a burden on the local
taxpayers;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Sections 1. That the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace
opposes the construction of a prison anywhere within San Bernardino County and

of this Resolution to the State Board of Corrections, the Environmental
