ENDORSING COUNTY-WIDE STATE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Governor Pete Wilson has proposed a State budget for fiscal year 1993-94 that
would transfer 22 percent of city property taxes to the State;
WHEREAS, such a reduction in local property tax revenue would force cities to cut back
essential police and fire services;
WHEREAS, such a reduction in local property tax revenue would kill the incentive local
governments have to attract job creating industry at a time when the State economy desperately needs
new industry;
WHEREAS, the Governor has also proposed to transfer an additional 27 percent of local
redevelopment revenues to the State, this at a time when every redevelopment dollar is desperately
needed to attract new industry to the State; and
WHEREAS, the cities of San Bernardino County desire to join in common cause to oppose this
attach on city revenues.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of Redlands joins the
other cities of San Bernardino County in approving the following legislative priorities for 1993-94:
1. Oppose the State's usurpation.of local property taxes and redevelopment revenues.
2. Continue the one half cent emergency sales tax, which is due to expire on June 30, 1993,
for an additional three years, and provide for its distribution to local governments.
3. Cease or delay State mandated programs until the State can fund these programs.
4. Encourage the Board of Supervisors to adopt business license fees and an abandoned
vehicle abatement program based on a vehicle registration surcharge of$1 per registered
vehicle.
5. Support welfare and workers' compensation reform.
