A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING GOVERNOR WILSON'S PROPOSED
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUES FROM "ENTERPRISE"
SPECIAL DISTRICTS TO SCHOOLS.
WHEREAS, Governor Wilson's 1992-93 Fiscal Year Budget proposes to shift $347
million of annual local property tax revenue from enterprise special districts to school
districts, to meet funding requirements prescribed by Proposition 98; and
WHEREAS, the revenue transfer does not provide additional funding to the schools;
but rather reduces the obligations of the state as required by Proposition 98; and
WHEREAS, schools are entitled to a certain percentage of the state budget under
state law and thus -are provided a : share of revenue even if the property tax shift is not
enacted; and °
WHEREAS, the Governor's proposal would place an undue financial hardship on
already stressed local economies; and °
WHEREAS, the proposed property tax revenue transfer would force the enterprise
special districts to recover the revenues in the form of substantial rate hikes for sewer, water
and other services; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of Rolling Hills would be adversely affected by substantial
increases in their special districts' bills; and
WHEREAS, it is unfair to place the burden of balancing the state's budget on sewer
and other utility users;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
that the City Council of the City of Rolling Hills opposes Governor Wilson's proposed
transfer of property tax revenues from "enterprise" special districts to schools.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Governor, members of the Los Angeles County Delegation to the California Legislature,
Senator Robert Beverly, Assemblyman Gerald Felando, appropriate Committees of the
