municipal entities and representatives are extremely concerned over
the failure to start the long-delayed project; and

be cut in half; and
WHEREAS, the timely development of the Peripheral Canal
Project is necessary to ensure the future orderly growth and
development of the economic base of business and industry in the
City of Lake Elsinore and Southern California; and once agreement
is reached, it will take many years to complete the work necessary
to open such a canal;
