WHEREAS, the citizens of California voted that the State Constitution shall decree Public
Safety to be the first responsibility of local government; and,

paramount importance to the Mayor and the City Council; and,

and,

social status, political or religious affiliations, and causes immense human suffering; and,
WHEREAS, the financial burden of crime is continuing to escalate and thereby seriously
impacting budgets of City, County, State and Federal Government; and,

proceedings are overwhelming our resources and eroding confidence in government; and,

on crime" as recommended by its Public Safety Committee; and,
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the citizens of the State of California to support these
legislative positions and encourage prompt action by our legislators in Sacramento resulting in completion
before the end of the 1993-1994 Legislative Session (ending September 1, 1994).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Juan

on crime" bills and associated legislation.
