A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH URGING THE ASSEMBLY COMMIT-
TEE ON TAXATION AND REVENUE TO APPROVE ASSEMBLY
BILL 3611, A PROPOSAL FOR PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT
TO COASTAL CITIES PROVIDING REGIONAL BEACHES FOR
PUBLIC USE
WHEREAS, the city of Huntington Beach has within its city
limits broad, white sandy beaches used by more than three and
a half million beachgoers from all over the state each year;
and
The cost of providing these beach facilities for public
use has been determined by audit to be an annual total of
$1. 9 million, less $615, 000 revenue derived from beach operation,
for a net cost to the taxpayers of the city of Huntington Beach
of $1. 3 million each year; and
Attendance figures show that 85 percent of the beach users
live outside the city, leaving the 15 per cent of users who
live in the city paying 100 per cent of the net cost of beach
operation; and
The coastal recreation areas are a recreational and envi-
ronmental asset available for use by all residents of the state
and because of this the California League of Cities has adopted
resolutions urging equalization of the tax burden for cities
and city taxpayers within the coastal zone including cities
supporting regional public beach areas ; and
The State Assembly has before its Committee on Taxation
and Revenue Assembly Bill 3611 which would give partial reim-
bursement to cities providing public beaches,
NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach, urges members of the Committee on
Taxation and Revenue to approve Assembly Bill 3611.
