A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY ENDORSING
AND SUPPORTING REASSESSMENT OF
DAMAGED OR DESTROYED PROPERTY
(Proposition 4)
WHEREAS, the California State Constitution presently permits
the Legislature to authorize local taxing agencies to provide for the assessment
or reassessment; of taxable property where after the lien date for a given year
such property is damaged or destroyed by a "major" misfortune or calamity
and the property is "located in an area subsequently proclaimed by the Governor
to be in a state of disaster "; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 4 would delete the requirement for a
proclamation by the Governor of a state of disaster and permit the Legislature
to authorize local agencies to assess or reassess such damaged or destroyed
property whether or not caused by a major misfortune or calamity; and
WHEREAS, it is deemed most highly desirable that the maximum
flexibility and local option be provided particularly in the case of small
concentrated calamities which may not warrant an overall disaster proclamation
but which are nevertheless thoroughly justified for appropriate assessment
relief.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That this City Council hereby endorses and supports
the reassessment of damaged or destroyed property (Proposition 4) and calls
on all Californians to cast a resounding YES vote for Proposition 4 on June 4th.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution and appropriate distribution thereof.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of April , 1974.
