J
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROSEMEAD CONCERNING THE ALLOCATION OF
COUNTY EXPENDITURES TO CONTRACT CITIES
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities, at its 1968
Annual Conference, voted to sponsor legislation during the 1969
Session of the Legislature aimed at terminating unjust taxation
of city taxpayers by their counties for services of a municipal
nature furnished to residents in unincorporated areas of said
counties; and
WHEREAS, contract cities, such as the City of Rosemead,
who currently contract with the County of Los Angeles for the
furnishing of certain municipal services, have heretofore been
bearing a greater proportion of the expenses of the County's
operations than can be equitably justified; and
WHEREAS, it has been proposed that the proportion of
county operating expenses now borne by contract cities should be
increased, which increase, if made, would only further aggravate
the existing inequitable operating expense allocation between
the county and contract cities; and
WHEREAS, tt has been proposed that the League of Cali-
fornia Cities appoint a committee to study the subject of county
services to contract cities;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rosemead,
California, does hereby resolve:
Section 1. That the League of California Cities take
cognizance o~Tct that contract cities are currently paying
more than their equitable share of the expenses of county opera-
tions.
Section 2. That any study committee of the League of
California its' yes which may be formed to study the area of county-
contract cities financial relationships include as members repre-
sentatives of the contract cities in no smaller proportion than

counties bears to the number of noncontract cities in such
counties.

ward copiess of-tFis resolution to the City of Rosemead's repre-
