A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
URGING THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR WILSON
TO TOTALLY REPEAL SB 2557 AND
ENACT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL REFORM
WHEREAS, SB 2557 was enacted as part of the 1990-91 State budget
package and resulted in the shifting of city and school district
revenues to counties, to compensate for State funding cuts to state-
mandated county programs; and
WHEREAS, taking revenue from one local government to fund another
pits local governments against one another and is disruptive to
adequate planning and service provision; and
WHEREAS, this approach improperly separates the Governor and
Legislature from political accountability for their budget decisions;
and
WHEREAS, the continued shifting of inadequate revenues between
local governments will have lasting, harmful effects on our
communities, our schools and our economy.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Dublin urges Governor Pete Wilson, and all members of the State
Legislature, to totally repeal SB 2557 and replace it with meaningful
fiscal reform that will allow each local government to adequately
finance its responsibilities to its constituency.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of August, 1991, by
the following vote:
AYES:
Councilmembers Burton, Howard, Jeffery, Moffatt and
Mayor Snyder.
