CC RESOLUTION 2037100t,i:)
RESOLUTION NO. 2037
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA,
EXPRESSING STRONG OPPOSITION TO ANY
INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE TO BE LEVIED
BY THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR THE
1963 -64 FISCAL YEAR.
WHEREAS, the Chief Administrative Officer of the County
of Los Angeles recently submitted to the County Board of Supervisors
a preliminary county budget calling for a proposed expenditure of
$678, 623, 386 for the 1963 -64 fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, said county budget will, if adopted, reflect a
22. 8 cent increase in the county tax rate; and
WHEREAS, more and more area is being removed from
county jurisdiction by the incorporation of municipalities, thereby re-
ducing the area served by the county; and
WHEREAS, it appears that an unreasonable and inequitable
portion of the constantly increasing county taxes is being imposed upon
the residents of the various municipalities within the county to pay for
services which benefit only the unincorporated areas;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the proposed increase of 22. 8 cents or any
increase in the county tax rate is inequitable, unreasonable and unjust to
those taxpayers who reside within the City of E1 Segundo for the reasons
enumerated heretofore; and
SECTION 2. That the County Board of Supervisors make every
effort possible to reduce the county tax rate in view of substantial annual
increases in assessed valuation while the unincorporated area served by
the county is being substantially reduced because of municipal incorpora-
tions; and
SECTION 3. That the proposed tax rate, when consolidated
with tax rates to support educational, municipal and other services, will
produce a total tax so burdensome that many properties will be placed in
ac
jeopardy through default of tax payments; and
SECTION 4. That the City Council of the City of El Se-
gundo directs the City Clerk to forward certified copies of this reso-
lution to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County,
to each member of said Board, and to Mr. Roscoe Hollinger, Auditor
and Controller of Los Angeles County.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 27th day of May,
1963.
