A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, A CHARTER CITY, REQUESTING
THE STATE TO FUND CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE COSTS OF
THE 911 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Assembly Bill 515, adopted in 1912, established a one-number
emergency telephone system throughout the State of California,
designated as 911, and required that the system be fully
operational by December 31,1982; and
Senate Bill 1180, signed into law September 28, 1979, mandated
a users tax of one-half of one percent be collected on the
telephone billing to each residential or centrex subscriber,
which would provide sufficient funding for the installation and
servicing of the system; and
the City of Seal Beach has now complied with the State's mandate
and provided the necessary telephone equipment, for what is
deemed an adequate emergency telephone service for the citizens
of Seal Beach; and
the State of California is paying for the installation of all the
emergency telephone equipment except that equipment classified
as incremental cost equipment; and
the City of Seal Beach has, after due consideration for the life
saving capabilities and investigative abilities, vis-a-vis the
needs of its citizens, installed an automatic locations indicator
which is classified as incremental cost equipment; and
sufficient funds have been and are now being collected to cover
the costs of the automatic location indicator, if the funds were
not loaned to other State accounts, and if the interest accruing
to the funds was continued in credit to the Emergency Telephone
Users Tax account; and
the State of California has borrowed 20 million dollars from the
users tax account as well as diverting all interest accrued
since 1979 from the monies in the account and placing all of the
same in the State General Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Seal Beach does hereby petition
that the funds borrowed from the Emergency Telephone Users Tax account and
all interest accruing to that account be placed back into that account: and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach requests
that the incremental costs incurred by the City of Seal Beach, for the instal-
lation and monthly servicing of the automatic locating equipment, be refunded
to the City of Seal Beach by the State of California from the Emergency
Telephone Users Tax account.
