RESOLUTION NO. 3858
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
SUPPORTING THE REPEAL OF SB 2557 AND THE PROTECTION OF
CITY FINANCES FROM THE STATE BUDGET PROCESS
WHEREAS, after the longest budget stalemate in California
history, the Governor and Legislature enacted a 1990 -91 budget
package shifting state and county costs to cities, and diverting
city revenues to finance state and county responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, cities provide local municipal services and have no
responsibility or authority for administering state or county
programs; and
WHEREAS, SB 2557 allows counties to charge cities for
administering the property tax, authorizes counties to charge
cities for booking prisoners; and permits counties to retain
property tax revenues that should otherwise go to 90 "No and Low
Tax Cities;" and
WHEREAS, all 457 California cities balanced their budgets,
only to find them subsequently out of balance due to cost shifts
and revenue losses that balanced the state's budget; and
WHEREAS, the Governor and Legislature have avoided their
financial responsibilities by enacting poor public policy
measures that take from local government and provide no real
solution to the continuing financial problems facing all levels
of government;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Cypress does hereby support the repeal of SB 2557
and the protection of city finances from the state budget
process; and support alternatives to provide adequate long -term
funding for cities and counties.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Cypress at a regular meeting held on the 10th day of December,
1990.
