RESOLUTION
Whereas, the Olympic Games takes place every four years; and,
Whereas, a well managed Olympic Games can provide many economic and social benefits to a community. The economic impact of hosting the Games, based on preliminary economic impact research
and analysis is $7.6 billion to the local economy; $2.3 billion in direct revenue and $5.3 billion in indirect spending; and,
Whereas, the current effort to bring the Olympic Games to the Bay Area is in its domestic phase with the Bay Area competing against seven other cities in the United States. The Bay Area
Sports Organizing Committee (BASOC) has been formed with many community leaders in order to guide the Bay Area’s bid for the Olympic Games; and,
Whereas, the San Francisco Bay Area is in excellent position to be chosen as the United States candidate city due to the world renowned city of San Francisco, being the home of Silicon
Valley, the existence of world class sports facilities and universities, the active support of the Northern California Olympians Alumni Chapter, and ideal weather conditions.
Therefore Be It Resolved, that the Cupertino City Council enthusiastically endorses and supports the efforts of BASOC to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to the San Francisco Bay Area.
In Witness Thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Cupertino to be affixed this Monday, August Twenty, Two Thousand and One.
