A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, URGING THE STATE
LEGISLATURE TO MAKE LOCAL REVENUE DEFICIENCIES THE
HIGHEST PRIORITY IN THE NEXT SESSION.
WHEREAS, the City of .Grand Terrace is a general law, contract city
serving a population of 9,006; and
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace was incorporated after Proposition
13, thus eliminating an established base for property tax revenue; and
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace's FY 1982-83 General Fund revenue
is 1.3 million dollars (approximately $166,000 less in FY 1982-83 than in
FY 1980-81) to provide a minimum level of service for police, fire, streets,
parks and recreation, etc. ; and
WHEREAS, over one-half of this fund comes from the three major revenue
sources available to general law cities (property taxes, sales taxes, and
motor vehicle in-leiu taxes) ; and
WHEREAS, the sales tax revenue for FY 1982-83 has been reduced to
$160,000, or 31%, and Capital Improvement Fund fees have been reduced to
$107,000, or 78%, attributed in-part to the recession; and
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace's subvention revenue reductions
have reduced its FY 1982-83 Budget by 27 percent; and
WHEREAS, municipalities .have vitually no practical way (given the fact
that Assessment Districts require two-thirds vote) of addressing major revenue
needs without assistance from either the State or Federal governments;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Grand Terrace does hereby request the support of every city in the State to
join with it in urging the Legislature to make the issue of revenue
deficiencies for municipalities the number one priority in the new session.
