RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING THE REDUCTION IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUES
FOR CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS AND URGING THE STATE
LEGISLATURE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF FUNDING
WHEREAS, the California State Budget, as presently proposed, calls for
shifting $2.6 billion in property tax revenues away from local city and county
governments and putting them into the State general fund to pay for educational
services; and,
WHEREAS, these tax revenues are currently used by cities and counties for
law enforcement, parks and recreation, libraries and other essential services;
and,
WHEREAS, current economic difficulties have caused major reductions in many
of these essential services; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed $2.6 billion property tax shift would result in
further drastic reductions, in many cases wiping out these services entirely; and
WHEREAS, this would have a devastating effect on the health, safety, well
being, economic future of our citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby oppose shifting $2.6 billion in property tax revenues away from
city and county governments where they are used to fund already declining local
services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby urge the California State Legislature to seek alternative methods of
funding much needed state-wide educational services.
