A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING THE INTRODUCTION OF
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY BILLS WHICH PURPORT TO EXEMPT
THE BILLS FROM THE SB 90 (REAGAN-MORETTI TAX REFORM
PROGRAM) REIMBURSEMENT PROVISIONS, MORE COMMONLY
REFERRED TO AS "SB 90 DISCLAIMERS"
WHEREAS , the 1972 Legislature enacted SB 90 (Reagan-Moretti
Tax Reform Program) which, among other things , provides that the
maximum property tax rate limitation is the rate levied by a
city for the 1972-1973 fiscal year; and
SB 90 provides further that the State is obligated to pay
the full cost of any new state-mandated local programs enacted
after January 1, 1973 (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2164 . 3) ;
and
Certain Senate and Assembly bills have been and are being
introduced containing ' state-mandated local programs ' and which
have written into them provisions purporting to exempt the bills
from the SB 90 reimbursement provisions , more commonly referred
to as 'SB 90 disclaimers ' ; and
The 'SB 90 disclaimers ' are in direct conflict with the
spirit and intent of the 'Reagan-Moretti Tax Reform Program' and
in effect make the program meaningless and a subterfuge;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
Huntington Beach hereby expresses its strong opposition to the use
of 'SB 90 disclaimers ' by Senators and Assemblymen introducing
' state-mandated local programs ' legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach urges that all Senators and Assemblymen go on
record publicly in opposition to the practice of using 'SB 90
disclaimers ' and that the Governor veto all bills containing
such language .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby
authorized and instructed to transmit certified copies of this
resolution to Governor Ronald Reagan, Speaker of the Assembly
Bob Moretti and other appropriate state legislators ,
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th
day of June, 1973 •
