JOINT MEETING- REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND CITY COUNCIL
Joint Resolution - Seizure ��Stqte GovqrnrTLqt qf Q F�unds - Mrs. Gilbreath n i!y__
explained that in the Governor's final May budget revision, he proposed the
seizure of almost $1 billion in city and county shares of revenues in the
Highway Users Tax Account (l"-UTA) from the motor fuel tax or gallonage gas
tax) to fund past and future highway bond debt service payments out of the
State General Fund, If the Governors recommendation is enacted into law,
attorneys employed and retained by the League of California Cities are of the
opinion that the action would be unconstitutional, The League of California
Cities is encouraging California cities to consider passing a resolution that
directs City/Agency Attorneys to cooperate with the League, other cities and
counties in planning litigation challenging the constitutionality of the proposed
seizure of city and county funds, Such action does not commit the city to filing
litigation, but it directs the Agency Attorney to cooperate and work with the
League and other local govemments to advance the litigation. In addition, the
League is encouraging cities with Redevelopment Agencies to pass a
resolution opposing the latest proposal from the State to seize $1,050 billion of
tax increment monies from Redevelopment Agencies over a three-year period
beginning with Fiscal Year 2008-2009. The City's share of Highway Users Tax
(Gas Tax) funds included in the 2009-2010 proposed budget was estimated at
$910,000.00, Since presentation of the proposed budget, the League of
California Cities Fiscal Advisor has provided projections for cities and estimates
the City of Redlands' share at $1,164,206,00, Under the Governor's proposal,
cities would lose 100 percent of their share in 2009-2010 and 75 percent in the
subsequent fiscal year. Approval of this joint resolution assists the League's
efforts to save these tax dollars for California Cities and counties. Agency by
M�.
agency impacts of seizure of redevelopment agency tax increment dollars have
not yet been determined, however an earlier budget proposal to transfer $350
million from Redevelopment Agencies during Fiscal Year 2008-2009, resulted in
a $491,412.00 impact to the City of Redlands Redevelopment Agency,
Accordingly, if$1.050 billion is taken from Redevelopment Agencies over three
years, the Redlands Redevelopment Agency may expect to lose $491,412,00
or more each year, Mrs. Gilbreath moved to adopt a joint resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redlands and the Board of the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Redlands authorizing the City Attorney/Agency General Counsel,
and the City and Agency staff, to cooperate with the League of California
Cities, the California Redevelopment Association, and other California cities,
counties and Redevelopment Agencies in potential litigation challenging the
constitutionality of any seizure by State government of the City's Street
Maintenance Funds and any seizure of Redevelopment Agency tax increment
funds. Motion seconded by Mr. Gallagher and carried by AYE votes of all
