CC RESOLUTION 4859RESOLUTION NO. 4859
A RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE CURRENT COUNCIL'S
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT FOR WHICH TAX REVENUE
GENERATED FROM THE CONSOLIDATED TAX MEASURE SHOULD
BE EXPENDED TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE; AND AMENDING THE
MEMBERSHIP FOR THE EL SEGUNDO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. On April 8, 2014, voters will consider whether to approve the Consolidated
Tax Measure placed on the ballot by the City Council;
B. The City Council believes that it is in the public interest to adopt this
Resolution to set forth its purpose and intent for the use of the funds and
its desire that future Councils also use the funds in the same manner, to
the extent possible, if the voters approve the Consolidated Tax Measure
which is
Approximately 1/3 of the revenues generated from the
Consolidated Tax Measure will be allocated for capital improvement
projects identified by the City;
2. Businesses should be shareholders in the expenditure of such
monies. Consequently, it is important that the Chamber of
Commerce participate in making recommendations for how tax
revenue received as a result of the Consolidated Tax Measure

3. The taxes approved by voters in the Consolidated Tax Measure be
reduced during such times that the City, based upon increase of
other general fund revenues, is able to operate the City without use
of the Consolidated Tax Measure funds.
C. As shown throughout the City Council's discussion regarding the
Consolidated Tax Measure, asking businesses and residents to pay more
in taxes is undesirable. The City Council anticipates that if the economic
recovery is maintained and the City continues to reduce costs to the
extent possible while maintaining acceptable level of services that it
provides to residents and businesses, the tax burden can be reduced
within three years.

SECTION 2: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. The City Manager and City
Council must, as part of preparing and adopting budgets for upcoming fiscal years, to
the extent feasible designate 1/3 of the revenues received from the Consolidated Tax
Measure for the City's capital improvement program as recommended by the Capital
Improvement Program Advisory Committee ( "CIPAC "), approved by the Planning
Commission pursuant to Government Code § 65103, and implemented by the City
Council in accordance with its budget resolution. It is the Council's purpose and intent
that it and future Councils not use %1/3 or $2.0 million of monies from the Consolidated
Tax Measure to the extent feasible for any other purpose including, without limitation,
employee salaries or benefits.
SECTION 3: CIPAC. To help ensure that revenue from the Consolidated Tax Measure
is properly allocated in accordance with this Resolution to the extent feasible, the City
Council amends the CIPAC membership and allows the Chamber of Commerce the
opportunity to propose two individuals to be included on the CIPAC.
SECTION 4: This Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq., "CEQA ") and CEQA
regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes
rules and procedures to implement government funding mechanisms; does not involve
any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant
physical impact on the environment; and constitutes an organizational or administrative
activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
Accordingly, this Resolution does not constitute a "project" that requires environmental
review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378(b)(4 -5)).
SECTION 5: This Resolution must be interpreted so as to be consistent with all federal
and state laws, rules, and regulations. If any section, sub - section, sentence, clause,
nhracP nnrt nr portion of this Resolution is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision does not affect the
validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. If any provision of this Resolution is
held invalid as applied to any person or circumstance, such invalidity does not affect
any application of this Resolution that can be given effect without the invalid application.
SECTION 6: If any portion of this Resolution is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, the remainder of the Resolution and the application of such provision to
other persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby.
SECTION 7: This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the
purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of
this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that
facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.
