RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE USE OF 'SB 90 DISCLAIMERS'
WHEREAS, the 1972 Legislature enacted SB 90
(Reagan -Moretti Tax Reform Program) which among other things
provides that the maximum property tax rate limitation is
the rate levied by a city for the 1972-73 fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, SB 90 provides further that the State
is obligated to pay the full cost of any new state -mandated
local programs enacted after January 1, 1973 (Revenue and
Taxation Code Section 2164.3); and
WHEREAS, certain Senate and Assembly bills have
been and are being introduced containing 'state -mandated
local programs' and which have written into them provisions
purporting toexempt the bills from the SB 90 reimbursement
provisions, more commonly referred to as 'SB 90 disclaimers';
and
WHEREAS, the 'SB 90 disclaimers' are in direct
conflict with the spirit and intent of the 'Reagan -Moretti
Tax Reform Program' and in effect make the program meaningless
and a subterfuge;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of National City hereby expresses its strong
opposition to the use of 'SB 90 disclaimers' by Senators and
Assemblymen introducing 'state -mandated local programs'
legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of
National City urges that all Senators and Assemblymen go on
record publicly in opposition to the practice of using 'SB 90
disclaimers' and that the Governor veto all bills containing
such language.
BE IT ALSO FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk
is hereby authorized and instructed to transmit certified
copies of this resolution to Governor Ronald Reagan, Speaker
of the Assembly Bob Moretti, Senator James R. Mills and
Assemblyman Wadie Deddeh.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of June, 1973.
