RESOLUTION N O . /
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY OPPOSING THE SEGREGATION OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA INTO REGIONAL PLANNING DISTRICTS
-- WHEREAS, Senate Bill 856 as introduced would create Regional
Planning Districts in each of nine regions of the State as determined
by a State Planning Office and would authorize the levying of an equal
ad valorem property tax by such Regional Planning Districts and repeal
existing provisions for regional planning; and
WHEREAS, this proposal would supercede existing arrangements under
which a commendable degree of cooperation has ensued between the juris-
dictions of this area, replace it with an unknown and untried level of
super - metropolitan government; and
WHEREAS, this proposal directly contravenes a traditional,
accepted and effective American system of home rule as it has always
existed in the State of California.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That it expresses it opposition to Senate Bill 856 and
all similar legislation.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution and cause copies to be forwarded to State representatives at
Sacramento for this City.
