RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 1A ON THE
NOVEMBER 2004 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT LIMITING
THE ABILITY OF STATE GOVERNMENT TO TRANSFER MONIES
FROM THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY TO THE STATE
WHEREAS, state government currently seizes more than $5.2 billion
annually in local property tax funds statewide from cities, counties and special
districts, costing local governments more than $40 billion in lost revenues over the
past 12 years; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has systematically raided some
$31,000,000 from the citizens of National City since 1981, as shown in the Attached
Exhibit."A"; and
WHEREAS, these ongoing shifts and raids by the state of local
property tax funds and other funding dedicated to local governments have seriously
reduced resources available for local fire and paramedic response, law
enforcement, public health and emergency medical care, roads, parks, libraries,
transportation and other essential local services; and
WHEREAS, these funding raids also add pressure for local
governments to increase fees and taxes to maintain basic local service levels; and
WHEREAS, this drain of local resources has continued even during
periods when the state's budget has been overflowing with surpluses; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 1A is an historic measure that will appear on the
November 2004 statewide ballot that would limit the State's ability to take and use local
government funding; and
WHEREAS, by protecting local government funding, Prop 1A would
protect local public safety, healthcare and other essential local services; and
WHEREAS, Prop 1A will not raise taxes and, in fact, will help reduce
pressure for local fee and tax increases by limiting state raids of local government
funding; and
WHEREAS, Prop 1A does not reduce funding for schools or any other
state program or service, and Prop 1A was carefully written to allow flexibility in the
event of a state budget emergency; and
WHEREAS, Prop 1A is supported by a bipartisan, diverse coalition
including Govemor Schwarzenegger; Democrat and Republican legislative leaders;
local government officials; public safety representatives, healthcare, business, labor
and community leaders;
