RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA SUPPORTING AN ADVISORY MEASURE ON THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT TO GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
JURISDICTIONS THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DECLINE TO
IMPLEMENT A PROGRAM MANDATED BY THE STATE OR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN ALL FUNDS PROVIDED BY THE
STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR SUCH A MANDATE
HAVE BEEN EXPENDED
WHEREAS, the County of San Diego is requesting the City of Chula Vista's support for
an advisory measure which will be on the November, 1994 ballot; and,
WHEREAS, the following is the proposed advisory ballot measure:
Should the California Constitution be amended to give local government
jurisdictions the legal authority to (a) decline to implement a program mandated
by the state or federal government without the full funding necessary to
perform the mandated service, and (b) discontinue a program mandated by the
State or federal government when all funds provided by the State or federal
government for such a mandate have been expended?
WHEREAS, local governments are bearing the deep financial burden of unfunded State
and federal mandates and it is time to end the current practice of the State and federal
governments passing on the cost of services to local governments through unfunded or
underfunded mandates.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby support an advisory measure on the November, 1994 ballot to give local government
jurisdictions the legal authority to decline to implement a program mandated by the State or
federal government when all funds provided by the State or federal government for such a
mandate have been expended.
Presented and Approved as to form by
Ruth M. Fritsch
