RESOLUTION NO. 3237
A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCILS OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
COUNTY IN SUPPORT OF SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY AND SAN LUIS
COAST AL SCHOOLS EFFORTS TO OBTAIN RELIEF FROM DAMAGING
LOSS OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE AS AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE
OF ELECTRIC UTILITY RESTRUCTURING IN CALIFORNIA
The following resolution is hereby offered and read:
WHEREAS, the State of California Public Utilities Commission has ordered the
restructuring of the electric utility industry in California; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has voted into law Senate Bill 1890 which
provides for restructuring the electric utility industry in California; and
WHEREAS, the California Public Utilities Commission has approved Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's accelerating depreciation on the Diablo Canyon Nuclear
Generating Facility; and
.....
WHEREAS, one unintended effect on this area will be to significantly reduce the
amount of property taxes received by San Luis Coastal Schools, county and city
government, harbor district, and the library, without regard to the impacts on the
community as a result of the property tax loss; and
WHEREAS, the proposed reductions will have a far larger per capita impact in San
Luis Obispo County than anywhere else in the State because of the concentration of
Pacific Gas and Electric Company assets in this county; and
WHEREAS, such reductions will be contrary to the agreement of mutual support
between Pacific Gas and Electric Company and the citizens of San Luis Obispo County
concerning the siting of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Facility in this county; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Councils of the Cities of Arroyo
Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, and San
Luis Obispo, that these cities do support the effort of San Luis Coastal Schools and
San Luis Obispo County to protect the community from such a serious and damaging
loss of tax revenue as a result of electric utility restructuring.
