1983-17 RESOLUTION NO. 83- 17
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING SENATE BILL
7471 (AYALA) WHICH WOULD ALLOW COUNTIES TO CHARGE
A CONTRACTING CITY DIRECT AND INDIRECT OVERHEAD
CHARGES.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 7471 (Ayala) would permit, but not require, a
county to charge a contracting city for direct and indirect overhead ,charges;
and
WHEREAS, the proposed overhead charges are for costs attributable- to
services provided or general overhead for operation of county government,- with-
the exception of the board of supervisors, the county chief administrative
officer, and county counsel ; and
WHEREAS, legislation effective January 1, 1983, prohibited San
Bernardino County from charging overhead and administrative costs to its
contracting cities; and
WHEREAS, it has been stated by the County Administrative Officer
they would simply find another way to charge this, even the suggestion of a
separate division to handle contracts; and
WHEREAS, in most counties, it is probable that the highest number of
population and the highest assessed valuation is in cities; therefore, the
greatest amount of total property taxes are most likely paid by city property
owners; and
WHEREAS, counties collect their in lieu taxes from the State and
Federal governments on total county population, which includes both
incorporated and unincorporated areas; and
WHEREAS, Federal Revenue Sharing Funds are allocated to counties based
upon total county population; and
WHEREAS, since city residents already pay for administrative services,
it would be unfair to charge them again when there is a contract between the
county and that city for services; and
WHEREAS, some contracted services include the county retaining fees
collected for the services rendered the same as it does for unincorporated
areas; and
WHEREAS, the sheriff is an elected public official running his
department and staff that handles law enforcement contracts; the San
Bernardino Sheriff's Bureau of Administration handles its own correspondence not the County staff; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE its opposition to the County of San Bernardino charging
administrative overhead charges to its contracting cities and urges State
Legislators to defeat Senate Bill 7471.
ADOPTED this 14th day of April , 1983.
