1982; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1180, signed into law September 28, 1979, mandated
a users tax of one-half of one percent be collected on the telephone billing

and provided the necessary telephone equipment, for what is deemed an adequate
emergency telephone service for the citizens of Cypress; and
WHEREAS, the State of California is paying for the installation of all
the emergency telephone equipment except the equipment classified as incre-
mental cost equipment; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds have been and are now being collected to cover
the costs of the automatic location indicator, if the funds were not loaned
to other State accounts, and if the interest accruing to the funds was continued
in credit to the Emergency Telephone Users Tax account; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has borrowed 20 million dollars from the
users tax account as well as diverting all interest accrued since 1979 from
the monies in the account and placing all of the same in the State General
