COSTAL PROTECTION BOND ACT OF 2002
WHEREAS, California's state, regional and local parks serve as

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, each generation of Californians has an obligation to be good
stewards of these natural and community resources in order to pass them onto
their children, and

state and local parks for healing and strength, sense of community, freedom and
peace during these turbulent times, and
WHEREAS, California is known for its incredible natural resources of
open space, parks, mountains, rivers, coastline, and forests that positively
impact the state and local economy, and

state's population will continue to grow by 18 million by 2020; thereby placing
more pressure on existing parkland and facilities, and
WHEREAS, Proposition 40 will benefit every neighborhood of California
by giving emphasis to neighborhood parks, creating opportunities for
environmental education and outdoor recreation for youth, planting trees in
urban areas, restoring rivers and streams in our cities, protecting open space,

WHEREAS, Proposition 40, the Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe
Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2002, provides $2.6
