A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
OPPOSING USE OF SB 90 DISCLAIMERS
WHEREAS, the 1972 Legislature enacted SB 90 (Reagan - Moretti Tax
Reform Program) which among other things provides that the maximum pro-
perty tax rate limitation is the rate levied by a city for the 1972 -73
fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, SB 90 provides further that the State is obliged to pay
the full cost of any new State - mandated local programs enacted after
January 1, 1973 (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2164.3); and
WHEREAS, certain Senate and Assembly bills have been and are being
introduced containing "State- mandated local programs" and which
have written into them provisions purporting to exempt the bills from
the SB 90 reimbursement provisions, more commonly referred to as "SB 90
Disclaimers "; and
WHEREAS, the "SB 90 Disclaimers" are in direct conflict with the
spirit and intent of the "Reagan- Moretti Tax Reform Program" and in
effect make the program meaningless and a subterfuge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Downey hereby expresses its strong opposition to the use of "SB 90
Disclaimers" by Senators and Assemblymen introducing "State- mandated
local programs" legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Downey
urges that all Senators and Assemblymen go on record publicly in opposi-
tion to the practice of using "SB 90 Disclaimers" and that the Governor
veto all bills containing such language.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk is hereby authorized
and instructed to transmit certified copies of this resolution to
Governor Ronald Reagan, Speaker of the Assembly Bob Moretti, Senator of
the Assembly Bob Moretti, Senator Lawrence E. Walsh, Senator Joseph M.
Kennick, Assemblyman Jack R. Fenton, Assemblyman Floyd L. Wakefield, and
Assemblyman Robert McLennan.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and
shall provide for appropriate distribution of same.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of June, 1973.
