RESOLUTION NO. 11359
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA URGING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES' SUPPORT
FOR REALLOCATION OF EXISTING SALES TAX
The City Council of the City of Chula vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the State of California has appropriated to
itself taxes which have traditionally gone to support cities, such
as the motor vehicle in-lieu tax and cigarette tax, and
WHEREAS, the State has provided no substitute source of
income to make up for the lost subventions, and
WHEREAS, due to the uncertainty as to how the State will
allocate tax revenues, cities are unable to plan their finances
with any assurance, and
WHEREAS, an additional one cent sales tax from the
existing six cent levy, to be appropriated to the cities based
upon their POPulation, would enable cities to engage in sound
financial planning in the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby declare its support for
reallocation of an additional one cent sales tax from the existing
six cent levy to be distributed to cities based upon their
population to replace lost State subventions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the League of California
Cities request the Governor and Legislature take those legislative
and constitutional steps necessary to guaranty the present one
cent sales tax and the additional. one cent sales tax as a
permanent source of income to cities.
