IN THE LEGISLATURE
WHEREAS, there is a high concentration of urban social problems in California's
major metropolitan areas which can be partially alleviated by increased recreation oppor-
tunities; and
WHEREAS, by 1980, the need for local recreation area facilities and programs
will be nearly twice as great as presently required; and
WHEREAS, by 1980, unless the lands and waters that hold recreation potential
today are acquired or reserved for recreation as soon as possible, there will be a
marked shortage of recreation lands and waters on a local and regional basis; and
WHEREAS, cities, counties, and districts must exercise constant vigilance to
see that the recreation lands and facilities they now have are not lost to other uses;
they should take steps to improve the facilities they now have; and
WHEREAS, in view of the foregoing, the Legislature declares that an aggressive,
coordinated, funding program for meeting existing and projected local recreation demands
must be implemented without delay;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA
