CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA'S REVERSE BAILOUT BUDGET
PROPOSAL
WHEREAS, the Legislative Analyst's Office had provided information on
the impact of the Governor's proposed vehicle license fee reductions on the
California cities; and
WHEREAS, the impact of the Governor's proposed reductions in subventions
to California cities has been projected; and
WHEREAS, the Governor's proposed reductions would reduce the City of South
San Francisco's revenues in excess of its estimated 1982-83 bailout amount; and
WHEREAS, the excess of reduction represents a "reverse bailout" at the
expense of service levels to the citizens of the City of South San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, this reduction places a disproportionate load of revenue reductions
on the City' of South San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, the cities should be provided with subventions which permit revenue
growth at least comparable with schools or counties, that is, at least seven percent
(7%); and
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco feels that all state programs should
be treated alike in face of the State's fiscal crisis;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of South San Francisco calls
upon the Governor, and the State Legislature to adopt a fair share approach to the
reduction of the subventions for state programs and local services, and that reduc-
tions 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 seven percent
(7%) for fiscal year 1982-83; and that cities should in no case lose subvention
funds in an amount greater than their estimated bailout levels.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be provided to the
Governor, State Senator John F. Foran, State Assemblyman Louis Papan, and the
Joint Conference Budget Committee.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and
