A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
URGING A "YES" VOTE ON BALLOT MEASURE B, THE $3 MILLION
REVENUE BOND ISSUE TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
OF THE MUNICIPAL SEWAGE SYSTEM.
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States has passed
Public Law No. 92-500, stating, in essence, that it is the will
of the people that our rivers be made clean, and that, therefore,
the quality of sewage discharged into our rivers shall meet
established high standards, and that the Federal Government shall
provide financial assistance to obtain the established high
standards, and
WHEREAS, the State of California has enacted similar
legislation, providing not only a State contribution to assist in
meeting these high standards, but also providing severe penalties
for discharge violations, and
WHEREAS, it is proposed to construct $18,770,000.00 in
improvements to the municipal sewage system, consisting of a
regional secondary treatment plant and interceptor sewers leading
to it, in order to correct deficiencies in our existing system and
meet the new higher discharge requirements, and
WHEREAS, the Federal Government will contribute approxi-
mately 75% of the total cost, and the State will contribute approxi-
mately 12-1/20, and it is the obligation of the local agencies to
provide the balance,
NOW, THEREFORE, we, the City Council of the City of
Redding, urge the citizens of Redding on November 2 to vote "Yes"
on Ballot Measure B, authorizing the issuance of $3 million in
revenue bonds to provide the local share of the funds necessary
to construct these hew facilities so that we may meet these higher
standards of discharge for our discharges into the Sacramento River.
