ATASCADERO SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA
CITIES IN ITS EFFORTS TO REPEAL SENATE
BILL 2557 BY ENDORSING SENATE BILL 169
AND IMPLEMENTING THE VEHICLE LICENSE FEE (VLF)
WHEREAS, the City of Atascadero is on record strongly opposing
SB-2557, an ill-conceived piece of legislation which pits local
governments against each other in the struggle for diminishing
revenues, instead of addressing legitimate and demonstrated County
fiscal needs, burdened largely by State mandates; and
WHEREAS, the City of Atascadero recognizes that, in order to
have the State Legislature reconsider this matter, it will require
the wholehearted support and cooperation of every county, school
district andcity; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities has proposed a
solution (SB 169) which will provide additional revenue for
counties without the necessity of a tax increase;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Atascadero City
Council does hereby endorse SB 169 to:
1. Freeze the vehicle license fee depreciation schedule for
one additional year,
2. Retain the County taxing authority with respect to
business license and utility users tax contained in SB-
2557; and
3. Repeal all other provisions of SB-2557.
On motion by Councilperson Dexter, and seconded by
Councilperson Borgeson, the foregoing resolution is hereby adopted
in its entirety, by the following Roll Call Vote.
