RESOLUTION NUMBER /'791'
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, REGARDING STATE IMPOSED
PROGRAMS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
WHEREAS, Recent state legislative proposals would, if implemented,
impose the acceptance of certain costs on local government; and
WHEREAS, The agencies of local government would have no discretion
in the implementation of these programs and did not request state
involvement in regard to these programs; and
WHEREAS, The provision of funds to pay for the cost of implementing
the state imposed programs would not be provided by the State: and
WHEREAS, The imposition of programs with no local discretion runs
counter to all the principles of home rule upon which the govern-
mental relationships in California are based, and that the accepted
consitutiona1 limitations of the State have not been clearly
defined in this regard 1 and
I
WHEREAS, The practice of imposing costs with no concern for means
of paying, for programs would have a crippling effect on local
government and local taxpayers throughout the State:
.'
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council of the city of
Seal Beach does go on record as opposing the principles and practice
of an arbitrary imposition of costs upon agencies of local govern-
ment without providing for local requests for state assistance,
local determination on levels of services that fall within the pur-
view of matters of home rule and without providing funding for manda-
tory imposed programs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the entire membership of the California
League of cities assume its position of leadership in this matter
and consider the development of such a constitutional amendment at
the League of California cities Annual Conference in September, 1969.
