RESOLUTION NO. 2464
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFOlUIIA
CITIES IN ITS EFFORTS TO REP~ SENATE BILL 2557
AND IMPLEMEHT THE V.L.F. SOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of Arroyo Grande is on record as strongly
opposing 58-2557, an ill-conceived piece of legislation which pits
local governments against each other in the struggle for
dbdnishing revenues, instead of addressing leqi ti:aate and
demonstrated County fiscal needs, burdened largely by state
aandates; and
tIHEREAS, the City of Arroyo Grande recognizes that, in order
to have the State Legislature reconsider this matter, it will
require the wholehearted support and cooperation of every county,
school district and city: and
tIHEREAS, the League of California cities has proposed a
solution which will provide additional revenue for counties without
the necessity of a tax increase.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City of Arroyo Grande
does hereby endorse the League's proposal to:
1. Freeze the vehicle license fee depreciation schedule for
one additional year; and
2. Retain the county taxing authority with respect to
business license and utility users tax contained in
S8-2557; and
3. Repeal all other provisions of S8-2557.
FURTHER, the city of Arroyo Grande endorses the League's
proposal to initiate a joint prograa to establish stable state and
county financing by removing legislatively-enacted special interest
exe1ll)tions to the sales tax base, as well as the mtpanSion of
county revenue authority equal to charter cities, and urges
unanimous support for the League's proposal bY every affected local
entity in San Luis Obispo COunty, thus clearly signaling the
strength of our position with the State Leqislature.
