1982-43 RESOLUTION NO. 82- 49
. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE WATER
RESOURCES INITIATIVE, PROPOSITION 13- ON THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT.
WHEREAS, the Water Resources Initiative, Proposition 13 on the
November Ballot, would strip local elected government officials of all
substantive authority in the management of local water matters and, instead,
would isolate' that authority in a non-elected State board; and
WHEREAS, the Initiative is a major reversal of California law which
may remove all remaining sources of water from future development; and
WHEREAS, this change may ultimately result in water rationing in many
cities in California before the end of the century; and
WHEREAS, the Initiative could deprive all Californians of the clean
renewable energy production from the New Melones Dam Hydroelectric Project;
and
WHEREAS, the inflexible initiative process should not be applied to an
area of regulation as changeable as water supply, in which uses, supply, and
need may vary with climate and other factors;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Grand Terrace opposes the Initiative and urges all citizens of the City of
Grand Terrace to vote "No" on Proposition 13 on the November Ballot.
ADOPTED this 14th day of October, 1982.
