RESOLUTION NO. 96-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
SUPPORTING GOVERNOR PETE WILSON'S 1996-1997 ANTI-CRIME AGENDA
TO REDUCE JUVENILE CRIME AND STREET GANGS
Mayor Pro Tem Clark requested Council's support of AB 1483 (Villaraigosa), which
provides funding for juvenile camps for the remainder of this fiscal year and the high success
rate these camps have in rehabilitating juvenile offenders. Ms. Clark stated that inmates
released from custody have a very low recidivism rate and stressed the urgency of this bill as
both houses have approved the bill which will be before the Governor for signature next week.
Ms. Clark explained that the Governor's proposed anti-crime agenda will provide funding for
the program with a "check-off" box on State income tax forms, but that is not a stable
revenue source. Ms. Clark requested that Resolution No. 96-04 specify that the City supports
those measures which provide a stable and continuing source of funding, and in particular,
the juvenile camps.
Councilmember Imperial added that he agrees with Mayor Pro Tem Clark, but is
opposed to any increase in taxes.
