A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE 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, and
WHEREAS, such.a reduction in local property tax revenue would force cities
to cut back essential police and fire services, and
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, and
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 attack on city revenues.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Grand
Terrace 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. Cease or delay State mandated programs until the State can fund these
programs.
3. Encourage the Board of Supervisors to adopt business license fees.
4. Support welfare and workers' compensation reform.
