each year from the City of Pleasanton that is already transferred from local services to fund state obligations. WHEREAS, Governor Davis' proposal to divert the VLF backfill payments over the next 17 months fails to honor the 1998 commitment and is a direct assault on local services that will be felt by every California resident; and WHEREAS, shifting $4.2 billion in locally controlled revenues for local services is neither equitable nor fair. No state program or department has been asked to shoulder such a disproportionate share of the budget pain. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: If the state General Fund can no longer afford the expense of part or all of the VLF *backfill" that the Legislature and Governor of California are hereby respectfully urged to implement the provisions of current law providing for the reduction of the VLF offset in bad economic times and to restore the VLF in an amount necessary to reduce the VLF backfill; and Section 2: Section 3: Authorize the Mayor, on behalf of the City of Pleasanton, to send the attached letter in opposition to Governor's proposal. That the City of Pleasanton hereby expresses its profound appreciation to the Legislators who support such VLF restoration legislation. Section 4: This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption. I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THE FOREGOING WAS DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON, AT A MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 21, 2003, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Councilmembers: Councilm-mhers: None None Michael H.
