RESOLUTION NO. 4389
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE
"PROPOSITION 1A" WHICH WOULD RESTRICT THE ABILITY OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO TAKE FUNDS ALLOCATED
TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The City Council resolves as follows:
Section 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. In October 2003, the City Council unanimously approved a resolution
supporting the League of California Cities efforts to qualify a ballot
measure that would require voter approval before the Legislature could
use funds earmarked for local government to balance the State budget;
B. The City supported that effort because the Legislature annually seizes
over $800 million in city property tax funds (ERAF) statewide, costing
cities over $6.0 billion in lost revenues over the past 12 years and
seriously reducing resources available for local public safety and other
services; and
C. The League of California Cities and the LOCAL coalition succeeded in
obtaining the signatures necessary to qualify an initiative on the November
2004 statewide ballot protecting local government revenues; and
D. In recognition of the efforts of the League of California Cities and the
LOCAL coalition to protect local government revenues, the Governor
approached the member cities of the League to propose a deal in which
the Governor would support a ballot measure protecting local government
funding in exchange for a three -year reduction of local government
revenues needed to balance the State budget through FY 2006/2007; and
E. Negotiations involving the League, the LOCAL Coalition, the Governors
office and the Legislature resulted in the Legislature placing on the ballot
Proposition 1A which would allow the State to "borrow" local government
funds only twice in ten years (with a 2/3 vote of the Legislature); require
payback within three years of "borrowed" funds; protect the existing
portion of local government VLF funds; protect Bradley -Burns sales tax
funds due to local governments; require reimbursement for legislative
programs the result in a local government mandate; and require a 2/3 vote
to reallocate property tax revenues to other local governments within a
county while prohibiting such reallocations to fund school or ERAF shares;
and
-t -
F. Proposition 1A does not include all of the provisions of the original
revenue protection ballot measure that qualified for the ballot earlier this
year, but does offer significant future protection of funds earmarked for
local governments and brings with it the Governor's support for the
measure; and
G. The League of California Cities has requested that cities take formal
action to support and work toward obtaining voter approval of Proposition
1A in November.
Section 2: The City Council of the City of El Segundo expresses its support for
Proposition 1A, which would allow voters to decide whether local tax funds may be
taken, confiscated, shifted, diverted or otherwise used to fund state government
operations and responsibilities after FY2006/2007.
Section 3: The City Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Resolution to the
Executive Director of the League of California Cities.
Section 4: The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution;
shall enter the same in the book of original Resolutions of the City; and shall make a
record of proceedings of the City Council in the Minutes of the Meeting at which same is
passed and adopted.
