A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
SUPPORTING THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS
ALAMITOS , OPPOSING THE ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION OF THE UNIFORM SALES
AND USE TAX
WHEREAS the City of Los Alamitos is opposing an attempt ,
through legislation or litigation, to alter the method of dis-
tributing the uniform sales and use tax under the Bradley-Burns
Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law for the following reasons :
1. Many cities have made moral and legal commitments
for the expenditure of local sales and use tax revenues upon
the premise that their right and authority to levy, collect
and expend the same would not be abrogated and impaired;
2 . Local agencies of government that receive substantial
amounts of local sales and use tax revenues do so by reason of
long range planning and zoning practices that permit location of
businesses within their boundaries and that cities attempting
to change the distribution of sales tax revenue to a basis
favoring population density have , in many cases , systematically
and purposely excluded business and industry by restrictive
zoning practices .
3 . Differences between the jurisdictions in per capita
amounts of sales tax revenue under the point-of-sale distribution
formula do not deprive any citizen of equal protection under the
law, but are a direct result of the land use and zoning policies
of those jurisdictions and a distribution of revenue on a point-
of-sale basis is justified by the cost of providing municipal
services to industrial and commercial areas which by their nature
require higher levels of some services than do residential areas
of corresponding size .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it supports the City of Los Alamitos
er 1 .
in its opposition to any attempt to alter the method of dis-
tribution of the uniform local sales and use tax under the
Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is directed
to furnish copies of this resolution to appropriate state
legislators and agencies .
