CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA P~SOLUTION NO. 82-61 RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES OPPOSITION TO THE STATE BUDGET PROPOSALS FOR 1982-83 WHEREAS, the City of Pleasanton is in receipt of the proposed budget for the State of California for 1982-83 along with an analysis by the League of California Cities; and WHEREAS, the proposed budget and the League of California Cities analysis have been reviewed; and WHEREAS, the large disparity between the proposed reduction in funding levels asked of local agencies in comparison with those of state programs is inequitable; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON FJESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The City Council of the City of Pleasanton opposes the proposed 1982-83 State budget. Section 2: The City Council of the City of Pleasanton supports the position taken by the League of California Cities as follows: That the cutback burden experienced by the State should be equalized between state programs and local services. That cities should be provided subventions which permit revenue growth at least comparable with schools or counties; approximately 7%. That if cities are required to give up virtually all the Proposition 13 bail-out to the state, it is time to establish a permanent, long- range revenue base for cities that returns predictability to local fiscal planning and authority over local tax sources to "locally" elected officials and a majority of their voters. That cities need a guaranteed immunity from future additional changes in state subventions, either constitutionally or statutorily.
