A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING FEDERAL LEGISLATION ENDING
THE PRACTICE OF IMPOSING UNFUNDED FEDERAL MANDATES
ON LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS AND TO ENSURE THAT
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYS THE COSTS INCURRED BY
THOSE GOVERNMENTS IN COMPLYING WITH CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS
UNDER FEDERAL STATUTES AND REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, unfunded Federal mandates on State and local governments have
become increasingly extensive in recent years, and
WHEREAS, such mandates have, in many instances, added to growing deficits
in State and local budgets and have resulted in the need for State and local
governments to increase revenue or curtail services; and
WHEREAS, such excessive fiscal burdens on State and local governments have,
in many instances, undermined the ability of State and local governments to
achieve their responsibilities under State and local law; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cypress has incurred costs close to one million
dollars in order to comply with these Federal mandates; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cypress' $16.6 million annual budget has been deprived
of critically needed funding for public health and safety services in order to
comply with Federal mandates.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA, does
hereby find, determine and resolve as follows:
Section 1: Support Federal legislation which would end the practice of
imposing unfunded Federal mandates on State and local governments and
ensure that the Federal government pays the costs incurred by those
governments in complying with certain requirements under Federal statutes
and regulations.
Section 2: This Resolution shall be forwarded by the Office of the City
Clerk to the President of the United States, to all members of the Federal
legislature who represent the City of Cypress, to the Governor of the
State of California, to all members of the State legislature who represent
the City of Cypress, to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, to all
cities in Orange County, and to the National, State and County Divisions
of the League of Cities.
