RESOLUTION NO. 28-82
RESOLUTION OF THE ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL OPPOSING
1 THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S "REVERSE BAILOUT" BUDGET PROPOSALS
WHEREAS, the Legislative Analyst' s Office has provided information
on the impact on the California cities of proposed vehicle license fee
reductions; and
WHEREAS, the proposed reductions would reduce the City of Atasca
dero' s revenues by more than $400,000; and
WHEREAS, this reduction represents a "reverse bailout" at the ex-
pense of the City of Atascadero; and
WHEREAS, this reduction places a disproportionate load of revenue
reductions on the City of Atascadero; and
WHEREAS, cities should be provided with subventions which permit
revenue growth at least comparable with schools or counties, that is
approximately 7%; and
WHEREAS, such a reduction would require a curtailment of essential
services for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare;
and
WHEREAS, the Atascadero City Council believes that each govern-
mental entity in the State bear its fair share of any revenue cuts as
a result of the State' s fiscal crisis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Atascadero calls
upon the Governor and the State Legislature to adopt a fair share ap-
proach to the reduction of subventions for state programs and local
services, and that reductions in subventions to cities be based upon a
formula which provides for a reasonable revenue growth of each city' s
general purpose funds of a minimum of 7% for Fiscal Year 1982-83.
On motion by Councilman Wilkins and seconded by Councilman
Mackey , the foregoing resolution is hereby adopted in its en-
tirety on the following vote:
AYES: Councilmen Mackey, Moline, Stover, Wilkins, and Mayor Nelson
