WHEREAS, statutory authority to levy sales tax was

the cities with additional revenues and to relieve the
property owner of increasing tax burdens ; and
WHEREAS, said authority was revised in 1955 to provide
a statewide uniform administration allocation of the tax; and
WHEREAS, this present method of allocating sales tax
revenues to cities is based upon the percentage of gross
receipts on retail sales within a city; and

revenues , the basis of said modification on a per capita basis
rather than sales revenues generated by a particular city; and

encouraging major commercial facilities within the City,

sent to the State Legislature, to the League of California Cities
and other key officials or organizations .
