A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD OPPOSING
ENACTMENT OF THE DELTA PROTECTION
ACT OF 1992.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill
Protection Act of 1992 for the
long-term resource management of
area; and
1866 would enact the Delta
alleged purpose of establishing
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
WHEREAS, said Act would establish a Delta Protection
Commission consisting of nineteen members charged with the
responsibility to develop a comprehensive long-term resource
management plan for the Delta area; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1866 attempts to usurp local land
use authority by requiring local government in specified locations
of the Delta area to obtain approval from the nineteen-member
Commission for all general plans; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1866 constitutes a State mandated
program that is apparently unfunded; and
WHEREAS, passage of Senate Bill 1866 and subsequent
implementation of the comprehensive long-term resource management
plan mandated by that legislation will likely increase the cost of
maintenance of the Delta as well as the cost of movement of water
through that area. The unit cost for water rates in the City of
Bakersfield and surrounding areas will likely rise for all
contractors on the State Water Project in order to pay for the
costs of implementing Senate Bill 1866.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVEDby the Council of the City
of Bakersfield as follows:
1. The above-recitals are true and correct and are
incorporated herein by reference.
2. The enactment of the legislation known as the Delta
Protection Act of 1992 (Senate Bill 1866) is hereby opposed.
3. The City Clerk shall certify the passage of this
Resolution and shall cause a certified copy be mailed to each of
the following: Senator Don Rogers, Assemblyman Trice Harvey and
Assemblyman Phil Wyman, State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814.
