ITEM EXPLANATION The Planning and Conservation 'League is considering an initiative which would place on the 1988 ballot a bond act to preserve parkland wildlife habitat, and open space. The bond act would provide funds for the acquisition of open space lands near urban areas, habitat critical for the survival of endangered species, and key parcels along the California coast. Funding for the initiative and volunteer labor to gather signatures would be provided by a wide variety of conservation organizations whose goals are to preserve parkland and wildlife habitat. To qualify for the June 1988 ballot, 550,000 signatures would have to be gathered in a five month period in 1987. San Diegans for Park and Wildlife is an organization formed to help qualify this $500 million initiative bond act state wide and to assist San Diego to qualify for its fair share of this money. Although the initiative is not in its final form, the organization is requesting local agencies to conceptually endorse the issue. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact from conceptually endorsing this proposed initiative. Funding to preserve parkland, open space and/or wildlife habitat may become available at a future date.
