A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE'S ENDORSE-
MENT OF FIVE (5) POSITIONS THAT WILL MODIFY THE IMPACT
OF THE 1981 -82 GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET ON LOCAL CITIES
WHEREAS, the Governor's proposed 1981 -82 Budget has been introduced in
the State Legislature in the form of two bills; and
—
WHEREAS, SB 110 and AB 250 are referred to as the Governor's Budget and
are now under review by the various legislative committees; and
WHEREAS, the proposed State budget in its present format will seriously
impair the ability of the City of Downey to provide local services to its
residents; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Budget submitted by the Governor is not equitable,
in that local revenues would be transferred to the State, increasing local
dependency on State government while diminishing local home rule.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Downey vigorously sup-
ports the following five -point program and strongly urges adoption of said
program by the various State legislative committees, including the Senate
Finance (Chairman Alquist) and Assembly Ways and Means (Chairman Vasconcellos):
1. Maintenance of the current AB 8 Property Tax allocation and local
assistance formulas.
2. Suspension and /or deletion of AB 8 deflator. (Requires legislation.)
3. Local determination of the use of 1978 -79 unsecured Property Taxes.
4. Elimination of State mandates of local costs.
5. No decrease in the current level of State assistance and /or subven-
tion funds for local governments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the State Legislature is hereby requested to
set up special and /or extended hearings on the Governor's Budget in order that
all local governments may properly be heard on this vital issue now confront-
ing the various levels of government within the State of California.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that our Legislators, State Assemblyman Bruce
Young and State Senator William Campbell, having received a copy of this
Resolution, be specifically urged to consider these five positions during
deliberations on the Proposed 1981 -82 State Budget.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
