CC - 1973-74 - Opposing the Misuse of Disclaimers In state Mandated Local ProgramCITY OF ROSEMEAD
RESOLUTION NO. 73-74
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROSEMEAD OPPOSING THE MISUSE OF 'DISCLAIMERS'
IN STATE MANDATED LOCAL PROGRAMS.
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 and which have written into them provisions purporting
to exempt 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 Rosemead hereby expresses its strong opposition to the
use of "SB 90 disclaimers' by Senators and Assemblymen introducing
"state-mandated local program" legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Rosemead urges that all Senators and Assemblymen go on record
publicly in opposition to the practive 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 Alfred Song and Assemblymen Walter Karabian and
Harvey Johnson.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 12TH DAY OF JUNE, 1973.
