A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
SUPPORTING REPRESENTATIVE GARY CONDIT' S EFFORT TO
REQUIRE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO FUND FEDERAL MANDATES
WHEREAS, the Federal Government consistently imposes mandates on
local government to implement programs; and
WHEREAS, these Federal mandates are generally imposed without
regard to local government's ability to implement the program
financially; and
WHEREAS, Federal Legislators must begin to consider the financial
ramifications of their actions before simply mandating that new laws be
carried out by local government; and
WHEREAS, the best way to make our Federal Representatives consider
the financial impact of new laws is to require that the Federal
Government fund federal mandates; and
WHEREAS, in these times of shrinking revenue and budget cuts, most
cities in California are already making hard decisions to cut services
and are in need of increased revenue, not further mandated expenditures.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Dublin supports Representative Gary Condit's efforts to make the Federal
Government fund their mandates before passing the costs onto local
government.
