A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH OPPOSING ANY LEGISLATIVE MANDATE
CREATING NEW REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND URGING
THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES TO SUPPORT THIS
POSITION.
WHEREAS, several legislative matters are presently being considered by
the State Legislature which would have the effect of creating new regional
governmental agencies; and
WHEREAS, the creation of regional organizations with regulatory and taxing
powers could override and usurp many well established and vital functions
now exercised by cities and counties; and
WHEREAS, a joint committee of the County Supervisors Association of California
and the League of California Cities has agreed upon and issued a policy state-
ment dealing with regional approaches to governmental problem solving; and
WHEREAS, the joint policy statement on regionalism does not express the views
of the Orange County CHapter of the League of California Cities; and
WHEREAS, voluntary cooperative efforts by cities and counties in the different
regions of the State can provide the solutions to existing and prospective
regional problems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Seal Beach:
1. That it opposes any legislative action which mandates the creation of new
regional governmental agencies possessing regulatory and/or taxing powers;
2. That it encourages a voluntary statewide cooperative effort between the
