A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, URGING THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
TAKE POSITIVE ACTION TO CONTROL UTILITY RATES.
WHEREAS, utility services (gas, electricity, water, and telephone) are
essential to the health and welfare of every American citizen; and
WHEREAS, citizens on fixed incomes are adversely affected by utility
rate increases; and
WHEREAS, the purchasing power of every citizen is eroded by the
ever-increasing cost of essential utility services; and
WHEREAS, businesses suffer from loss of sales when people can no
longer afford to buy their goods and services; and
WHEREAS, lack of spendable income reduces sales tax revenue to every
level of government and results in a decline in public services; and
WHEREAS, utility companies continue to increase rates unjustifiably
when viewed along with the cost of living;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace does
hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace urges
the Legislature and the Governor of the State of California to take positive
action to assure that increases for utility rates, including gas, electricity,
water, and telephone services, in an amount not to exceed the annual
percentage rise of the consumer price index, are considered not more than once
each calendar year.
SECTION 2. That the City Clerk is directed to transmit copies of this
Resolution to the appropriate State Legislators, the State Governor, the
Public Utilities Commission, the League of California Cities, and the City of
Bellflower.
ADOPTED this 23rd day of February, 1984.
