A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUESTING MEMBERS OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO REPEAL AND AMEND THOSE
SECTIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE PER-
TAINING TO THE STATE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
FOR STATE LEGISLATORS WHO ARE NO LONGER SERVING
DUE TO LOSS OF ELECTION OR APPPORTIONMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach recognizes a need
for a Retirement System for State Legislators who have served
the State of California for an appropriate period of time ; and
The people of the State of California have through amend-
ments to the State Constitution and through the actions of their
elected representatives provided fair and equitable compensation
for those choosing to serve as members of the Legislature; and
Recent amendments to the California Government Code per-
taining to retirement have had the effect of unjustly enriching
certain members of the Legislature at the expense of all California
taxpayers , to the extent that their action has caused a disservice
and loss of confidence by the people of the State of California;
and
Government at all levels is instituted for the protection,
security and benefit of the people and it is , therefore, demanded
and incumbent upon those elected to serve the people that they
enact just laws not for the benefit of the elected, but for the
benefit of those electing them,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS :
SECTION 1 . That the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach does hereby respectfully request that the members of the
California Legislature individually and collectively immediately
act to amend or repeal those sections of the Government Code in
