L/txO
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING REPEAL OF SENATE BILL
2557
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
I
WHEREAS, after the longest budget stalemate in California's
history, the Governor and California's Legislature
finally enacted a 1990/91 budget package that shifts
state and county costs to cities, and diverts city
revenues to finance state/county responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, counties are an administrative arm pf the state with
responsibilities for carrying out state programs, while
cities are in a different business of providing local
municipal services which are determined locally and
have no responsibility or authority for administering
state or county programs; and
WHEREAS, the Governor and California LegiSlature have shifted
state and county financial responsibilities to cities;
and
I
WHEREA~, all 457 cities in California balanced their budgets
only to find their budgets were subsequently thrown out
of balance by cost shifts and revenue losses designed
to balance the budget of the state; and
WHEREAS, the actions in the State budget package were enacted by
passage of SB 2557, which (1) directed counties to
charge cities, school districts and special districts
for the county function of administering the property
tax; 12) authorized counties to charge cities for
booking prisoners arrested by city employees; and (3)
allowed counties to retain property tax revenues that
should otherwise go to 90 "No and Low Tax cities"; and
WHEREAS, these shifts of city revenues to counties were
specifically enacted to replace cuts in state revenue
for counties that should have funded state
responsibilities carried out by counties; and
WHEREAS, the Governor and California Legislature have avoided
their financial responsibilities by enacting measures
that are poor public policy, which rob from one local
government to finance another, and result in no real
solution to the continuing financial problems facing
all levels of government in California; now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the city of Seal Beach support the
repeal of SB 2557 and the protection of cities from the state
budget process; and support alternatives that will provide
adequate long-term funding for cities and counties.
