10-136 RESOLUTION NUMBER 10-136
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE IN
SUPPORT OF THE SAFE, CLEAN AND RELIABLE DRINKING WATER
SUPPLY ACT OF 2010
WHEREAS, California's water system is facing a growing list of challenges associated with
aging infrastructure, ecological problems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, climate
change, population growth and other factors; and
WHEREAS, these challenges are eroding the reliability of the state's water supplies, impairing
the ability of local water agencies to deliver reliable water to their urban and agricultural
customers and adversely affecting the Delta ecosystem; and
WHEREAS, it is widely recognized that a comprehensive approach is needed to address those
challenges and improve both water supply reliability and ecosystem health in the Delta; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature has approved the Safe, Clean and Reliable Drinking Water Supply
Act of 2010 for the November 2010 ballot to provide that comprehensive approach; and
WHEREAS, if approved by voters, the measure would provide $11.14 billion in funding for
projects and programs throughout the state to increase water supply reliability, address
ecological problems in the Delta, add operational flexibility to the state's water storage and
delivery system and expand water recycling and conservation; and
WHEREAS, without these investments in the state's water infrastructure and local resource
development programs, California's water supply reliability will continue to erode and put more
jobs and local economies at risk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Menifee that the:
City Council of the City of Menifee formally supports the Safe, Clean and Reliable Drinking
Water Supply Act of 2010 on the November ballot.
