RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING
H.R. 140 (FEDERAL MANDATE RELIEF ACT OF 1993)
WHEREAS, unfunded federal mandates on State and Local
governments have become increasingly extensive in recent years; and
WHEREAS, such mandates have, in many instances, added to growing
deficits in State and Local budgets and have resulted in the need for Local
governments to increase revenue or curtail services; and
WHEREAS, such excessive fiscal burdens on Local governments have
undermined, in many instances, the ability of Local governments to achieve
their responsibilities under State and Local law; and
WHEREAS, Congressman Gary A. Condit (D-CA) has introduced H.R.
140, the Federal Mandate Relief Act of 1993; and
WHEREAS, this legislation would assure that the federal government
pays the total amount of direct cost incurred by State and local governments
in complying with certain requirements which take effect on or after the date of
enactment of the Act under a Federal statute or regulation; and
WHEREAS, this legislation would provide that any requirement under a
Federal statute or regulation that a State or Local government conduct an
activity (including a requirement that government meet national standards in
providing a service) shall apply to the government only if all funds necessary
to pay the direct costs incurred by the government in conducting the activity
are provided by the Federal Government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City
of National City supports H.R. 140 as introduced by Congressman Gary A.
Condit and goes on record as endorsing this bill.
