SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, AND COASTAL PROTECTION ACT OF 2002
WHEREAS, California's state, regional~ and local parks serve as recreational, social, and
cultural centers for California's communities, providing important venues for youth
enrichment and safety; community identity; protection of natural, cultural and historic sites,
parkland and open space; and tourism; and
WHEREAS, in order to maintain a high quality of life for California's growing population, a
continuing investment in parks, recreation facilities, and in the protection of the state's
natural, cultural and historic resources is needed; and
WHEREAS, California is largely an urban state where it is projected the state's population
will continue to grow by 18 million by 2020, thereby placing more pressure on existing
parkland and facilities; and
WHEREAS, California's economy is dependent upon maintaining a high quality of life that
includes attractive and safe public park and recreation facilities and services; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 40, the Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhoods Parks, and
Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2002, provides $2.6 billion for state and local park projects
to preserve California's natural heritage and allow urban areas to expand much needed
recreation facilities that serve children, youth, seniors, and families; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Town of Danville supports the passage of Proposition 40, the Clean
