Resol ution No. 94-342
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO,
CALIFORNIA, FOR THE PURPOSE OF PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING A PROGRAM
TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND PLANT SPECIES OF CONCERN IN THE
SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, grave concern is mounting throughout the communities
in the valley area of San Bernardino County as the U.S. Fish and
wildlife Service (USFWS) continues the process of evaluating
various candidate animal and plant species that are found in the
area to determine if they should be listed as being either
endangered or threatened pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species
Act (ESA); and
WHEREAS, the County, in cooperation with local jurisdictions,
public agencies and private enterprises, proposes to prepare a
16 valley-wide, multi-species Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) in order
17 to resolve the inherent conflicts between land development and
18 rare, threatened and endangered species preservation; and
19
20
WHEREAS, a proactive approach to this important issue is
21 essential to ensure the economic well-being of all interests, both
22 public and private, within the San Bernardino Valley; and
23
24 WHEREAS, a comprehensive HCP will vastly improve the position
25 of all the jurisdictions to provide for the development needed to
26 create the employment opportunities that are so essential to the
27 economic vitality of the valley area and its citizens.
