RESOLUTION NO. 10109
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING PROPOSITION 9
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the passage of Proposition 9, in the face of
the continuing uncertainties relative to the long range impact of
Propositions 13 and 4, is of grave concern to municipal govern-
ments throughout the state, and
\mEREAS, even though most cities have been forced to
make significant reductions in both the quantity and quality of
municipal services, the need for supplemental revenues, created by
Proposition 13, has almost universally resulted in government
supported to a greater extent by fees paid for services, and
WHEREAS, said fees necessarily impose the cost of
services more heavily upon the middle and low income groups, and
WHEREAS, Proposition 9 would simply accelerate this
trend creating a clearly regressive situation imposing more and
more of the costs of government upon the segment of society least
able to carry that burden, and
WHEREAS, the combined impact of Proposition 9 with that
of Proposition 13, which contrary to popular belief has, in fact,
shifted the burden of government expenses to the direct user of
government services, primarily middle and low income families,
would clearly create an undesirable imbalance in the financing of
government at both the state and local levels.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby go on record in opposition to
Proposition 9 and urges a "NO" vote on Proposition 9.
Presented and Approved as to form by
