The cities 'icipating in this measure are: Anaheim,fr `�na Park, CITY A� )RNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS, OF I�►POSITION "L" Costa Mesa, Hun,.-gton Beach, La Habra, Los Alamitos, San C.._.iente, San Before a low rent housing project can be developed, constructed, or Juan Capistrano and Tustin. acquired by a state public body, such as the Orange County Housing GAIL HUTTON Authority, within a county or city, Article 34.of the California Constitution City Attorney requires approval by a majority of the voters of that county or city. The Constitution defines such housing projects, in part, as "any development composed of. . . living accommodations for persons of low income, financed in whole or in part by the federal government or a state public body or to which the federal government or a state public body extends assistance . . ." Proposition "L" gives the voters of those cities within Orange County which have chosen to participate in this election under Article 34, an opportunity to decide whether such housing shall be provided, with certain limitations as discussed below, for the elderly, handicapped, and other low income persons of the county or participating city. The decision of the voters of a participating city shall apply only within that city. If approved, this proposition imposes several limitations on the production of such housing. The limitations are: 1. No city general fund money can be used. 2. Notice of a specific, proposed project must be given to each member of the City Council and to the public. 3. Notice to the public must be placed in an established.newspaper with the greatest circulation within the area of the proposed housing project site and must be posted in at least three conspicuous places on the proposed site. 4. If application to a noncounty body for funding or approval of such I housing is to be made, notice to the Council and to the public must be given before such an application for approval or funding is made. ` 5:The City Council must approve the proposed application and project. 6. Approval by the City Council can occur in one of two ways: (a) A 1 Council member,within thirty days of the notice,can place the matter before the entire Council and, after a public hearing, the Council can approve or conditionally approve the project, or'(b) if no Council member submits the matter to the entire Council for a public hearing within thirty days of the notice, the project is deemed approved. 7. The total number of units produced cannot exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of dwelling units within the city limit area. ry 4 ",ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSIT-14 "L" The rising cost of housing has made it very difficult for many families, particularly senior citizens, to afford decent, safe housing without sacrificing other essential items. Many are forced to spend a high percentage of their incomes on 'housing which is substandard. Approval of this measure will enable private developers to qualify for federal and state housing funds to provide good quality new housing at rents which these lower income persons can afford and to make older rental units livable again. The use of these programs requires no outlay of city or county funds and no added cost to the taxpayer. In fact, the measure specifically prohibits use of local general funds for this housing. Approval of this measure does not mean the county must accept all housing proposed. The housing must be designed to blend with the quality and style of private housing in the neighborhood and it does not have to be in apartment type projects. Notice of any housing proposed would be given, and approval by the City Council at a public hearing may be required, if public sentiment demands it. The amount of housing is limited to a small portion (5%) in the city. The taxpayers of Orange County are already paying for state and federal housing programs, while the money and benefits from many of these housing programs go to other areas. Each year the absence of Article XXXIV authority continues, the county loses approximately two million dollars which otherwise would be available for affordable housing. Passing of this ballot measure would enable Huntington Beach to get their fair share of state and federal housing dollars. There is a pressing need for the housing this measure will provide. We strongly recommend approval of this proposition.

Gail Hutton City Attorney City of Huntington Beach � y OF HUNTINGTON BEACH PARTICIF DN IN SPECIAL ELECTION ON JUNE 3. 1980 CALLED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ORANGE COUNTY TO APPROVE RENTAL HOUSIXG DEVELOPMENT FOR ELDERLY, HANDICAPPED. LOW-OR-MODERATE INCOME PERSONS PROPOSITION "L" ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF ARTICLE XXXIV REFERENDUM The risibg -cost of housin has 'made it very difficult for many families, particularly senior citizens, to afford decent, safe housing without sacrificing other essential items. Many are forced to spend a high percentage of their incomes on housing which is substandard. Approval of this measure will enable private developers to qualify for federal and state housing funds to provide good' quality new housing at rents which these lower income persons can afford and to make older rental units livable again. The use of these programs requires no outlay of city or county funds and no added cost to tlie. taxpayer. In fact, the measure specifically pro is use of local general funds for this housing. Approval of this .measure does not mean the City must accept all housing proposed. The housing must be designed to blend with the quality and style of private housing in the neighbor- hood and it does not have to be in apartment type projects . Notice of any housing proposed would be given, and approval by the City Council at a public hearing may be required, if public sentiment demands it. The amount of housing is' .limited to .a . small portion (51) in the G. y 'The taxpayers of Orange County are already paying for state and federal housing .programs, while the money and benefits from many .of these housing programs go to other areas . Each year the absence of Article XXXIV authority continues , the county loses approximately two million dollars which other wise would be available for affordable housing. Passing this ballot measure would enable Huntington Beach to get their fair share of state and federal housing dollars . There.. is a pressing need for the . housing this measure will provide. We strongly recommend"approval of this proposition. RUTH BAILEY MAYOR Dated: April 22, 1980 RUTH E. F.INLEY MAYOR PRO TEMPORE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 4a .L NUYPP_f>P_;F_ PROPOSITION "L" CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTION UNDER ARTICLE 34 OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION Before a low rent housing project can be developed, constructed, or acquired by a state public body; such as the Orange County Housing Authority, within a county or city, Article 34 of the California Constitution requires approval by a majority of . the voters of that county or city. The Con- stitution defines such housing projects , in part , as "any development composed of. . . living accommodations for persons of low income, financed in whole or in part by the federal government or a state public body or to which the federal government or a state public body extends assistance . . . . " Proposition "L" gives the voters of those cities within . Orange County which have chosen to participate in this election under Article 34 , an opportunity to decide whether such housing shall be provided, with certain limitations as discussed below, s for the elderly, handicapped, and other low income persons of the county or participating .city. The decision of the voters of a participating city shall apply only within that city. If approved, this proposition imposes several limitations on the production of such housing. The limitations are : 1 . No- city general fund money can be used. 2. Notice of a specific , proposed project must be given to each member of the City Council and to the public . 1. 3. Notice to the public must be placed in an established newspaper with the greatest circulation within the area of the proposed housing project site and must be posted in at least three conspicuous places on the proposed site. 4 . If application to a noncounty body for funding or approval of such housing is to be made, notice to the Council and to the public must be given before such an application for approval or funding is made. 5. The City Council must approve the proposed application and project . 6. Approval by the City Council can occur in one of two ways : (a) A Council member, within thirty days' of the notice, can place the matter before the entire Council and, after a public hearing, the Council can approve or conditionally ap- prove the project , or (b) if no Council member submits the matter to the entire Council for a public hearing within thirty days ' of the notice, the project is deemed approved. 7. The total number of units produced cannot exceed five percent (5ro) of the total number of dwelling units within the city limit area. The cities participating in this measure are : Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, La Habra, Los Alamitos, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Tustin. GAIL HUTTON, City Attorney CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA Dated: April 23, 1980 PARTICIPACION DE LA CIUDAD DE HUNTINGTON BEACH EN LA ELECCION ESPECIAL DEL 3 DE JUNIO DE 1980 PEDIDA POR LA JUNTA SUPERVISORA DEL CONDADO DE ORANGE PARA APROVAR UN DESARROLLO DE VIVIENDAS DE ALQUILER PARA PERSONAS MAYORES , EMPEDIDAS , 0 CON INGRESOS BAJOS 0 MODERADOS PROPOSICION "L" ARGUMENTOS A FAVOR DEL REFERENDUM DEL ARTICULO XXXIV E1 costo escalante de viviendas to ha hecho muy dificil para que muchas familias , particularmente los ciudadanos mayores , puedan afrontar viviendas seguras sin sacrificar otras cosas esenciales . Muchos estan forzados a gastar un porcentage alto de sus ingresos en viviendas cuales son de calidad inferior . La aprovacion de esta medida permitiria que urbanizadores pri- vados califiquen para fondos de viviendas del gobierno federal y del estado para proporcionar viviendas de buena calidad con rentas que estas personas de ingresos bajos puedan afrontar , y para hacer unidades -de -viviendas ma's viejas vivibles otra vez . E1 use de estos. programas no requiere el gasto de fondos de la ciudad ni del condado ni el aunmento de costos al contribuyente . Por cierto que la medida especificamente prohibe el use de fon- dos locales generales para estas viviendas . La aprovacion de esta medida no quiere decir que la Ciudad tiene que aceptar todas las viviendas propuestas . Las viviendas tie- nen que estar disenadas para mezclarse con la calidad y estilo de viviendas privadas en la vecindad, y no tienen que ser pro- yectos en estilo de apartamentos . Aviso de las viviendas pro- puestas tiene que ser dado , y aprovacion del Concilio Municipal durante una audiencia publica puede ser requirida, si el senti- miento publico to demanda. La cantidad de viviendas esta limi- tada a una porcion. pequena (el 50) en la ciuda.d. Los contribuyentes del Condado de Orange ya estan pagando por programas de viviendas federales y del estado , ,mientras que el dinero y los beneficios de muchos de estos programas de vivien- das van a otras areas . Cada aflo que- la ausencia - de la autoridad del Articulo XXXIV continua, el condado pierde aproximadamente dos millones de dolares cuales de otra manera estuvieran disponi- bles nara viviendas afrontables . La aprovacion de esta medida de balota permitiria que Huntington Beach reciba su parte justa de dolares para viviendas federales y del estado . Existe una necesidad urgente para las viviendas que esta medida proporcionaria. Fuertemente recomendamos aprovacion de esta proposicion. RUTH. BAILEY ALCALDESA Fechado : 22 de abril de 1980 RUTH E.

Please give Carmen a call at 834-5082 the day before you plan to come in and tell her you would like a set of indexes for your city.

The "purge" for the primary election will be the same type used in 1978. Sample ballots are mailed out with "Address' Correction Requested" printed on the envelope. If we get a sample ballot back from the post office indicating that the voter has moved out of county or the mail is undeliver- able as addressed AND the person did not vote, we will cancel the registration after the election. If we receive a new address within the county AND the person did not vote, we will notify the person that we are correcting his regis- tration to the new address provided by the post office.

PROPOSITION "L" CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTION UNDER ARTICLE. 34 OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION Before a low rent housing project can be developed, constructed, or acquired by a state public body, such as the Orange County Housing Authority, within a county or city, Article 34 of the California Constitution requires approval by a majority of the voters of that county or city. The Con- stitution defines such housing projects, in part , as "any development composed of. . . living accommodations for persons of low income, financed in whole or in part by the federal government or a state public body or to which the federal government or a state public body extends assistance . . . . " Proposition "L" gives the voters of those cities within Orange County which have chosen to participate in this election under Article 34 , an opportunity to decide whether such housing shall be provided, with certain limitations as discussed below, for the elderly, handicapped, and other low income persons of the county or participating city. The decision of the voters of a participating city shall apply only within that city. If approved , this proposition imposes several limitations on the production of such housing. The limitations are : 1. No city general fund money can be used. 2. Notice of a specific , proposed project must be given to each member of the City Council and to the public . 1 . 3. Notice to the public must be placed in an established newspaper with the greatest circulation within the area of the proposed housing project site and must be posted in at least three colispicuous places on the proposed site . 4. If application to a noncounty body for funding or approval of such housing is to be made , notice to the Council and to the public must be given before such an application for approval or funding is made . 5. The City Council must approve the proposed application and project . 6. Approval by the City Council can occur in one of two ways : (a) A Council member, within thirty days' of the notice , can place the matter before the entire Council and, after a public hearing, the Council can approve or conditionally ap- prove the project , or (b) if no Council member submits the matter to the entire Council for a public hearing within thirty days' of the notice, the project is deemed approved. 7. The total number of units produced cannot exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of dwelling units within the city limit area. The cities participating in this measure are : Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, La Habra, Los Alamitos, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Tustin.

Wentworth, City Clerk Subject COUNTY CONSOLIDATION - Date April 17, 1980 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION The initial cost is 10� per registered voter - currently 91 ,296 are registered. The County will purge following the Primary and General and that total will be reduced depending on the extent of the purge. The charge includes postage, printing, polling places and board members. This service could cost between $8,000 and $10,000 and would save approximately $5,000 and $7,000 in supplies and printing charges to an election supplier. The pamphlet size would be reduced to 512 x 8-%2- to conform with the county mailing. Nomination Papers and Statements of Qualifications may be processed by the County, but additional costs would be imposed for checking signatures. However, the City Clerk would still be responsible for Spanish translation of the Statements and printing of the voter's pamphlet for the county. Printing is approximately $3,000, with part refundable by the candidates paying for their portion, including printing, translation and mailing. This deposit would be reduced as the mailing would be done by the county. Substantial savings would be effected by not using the City computer and all other personnel required for the conduct of an election.. I would suggest that, if the electorate decides on this change as a cost saving and larger voter turnout alternative, that the City Clerk retain the responsibility of nomination papers, campaign statements, and any duties over the 10¢ per registered voter charged by the county. To date, the City of Irvine and most recently, the City of Newport Beach have chosen to consolidate with the County of Orange for the June Primary. The cost savings will be the major advantage. The disadvantage will be the slowness of the County counting procedure, as the order of results is Federal , State, County, Cities & Propositions. The County is still working on obtaining a new computer and this would no doubt expedite the procedure. The exact amount of cost saving is not available at this time, but I will furnish you with the exact cost of the election when all • the bills are in.

The effect of the adoption of �uch legislation would be for the state government to incur a substantial reduction of its revenues and the local governments to reap a substantial increase in their revenues with the total amount of the sales tax remaining the same. Currently the City of Huntington Beach receives 1 cent of the 1-1/4 cents with the County of Orange receiving the remainder. Adoption of the proposition would be advisory only and a reflection of the will of the electorate- of this city. GAIL HUTTON City Attorney GH:*:bc Research done by Ronald F.

Then vote YES on Proposition ! Ask yourself, what public services are of the greatest importance to you? Police protection? Fire protection? Libraries? Parks and Recreation? All these services are provided by local government and essential to a good quality of life. Certainly they are of far greater value than those championed by overstaffed state and federal bureaucracies, which produce questionable benefits to the public while unquestionably devouring your tax dollars. Did you know that the state collects locally a 6% sales tax, yet returns only slightly more than 17.? The rest stays in Sacramento where a budget surplus has proven to be an irresistible temptation for Sacramento politicians to underwrite their pet projects. Yet, local government is faced with having to reduce or hold the line on these most important public services. It simply does not make sense! Proposition tells Sacramento it had better get the priorities straight, and address our most critical needs without increasing the tax burden. Proposition proposes that some of that money that now goes to and is spent in Sacramento be returned to local government so that city and county government does not have to be concerned with providing you with the kind of police and fire protection or other critical services you need and deserve.

The resolution also provided that cities within the County may have the referendum placed on local ballots by the passage of a like resolution. On March 3, 1980, the Council requested that such a resolution be prepared for the City of Huntington Beach. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Resolution, as prepared by the City Attorney, calling a special election for June 3, 1980 for the purpose of pre- senting to the voters of Huntington Beach the question of whether low rent housing projects shall be authorized within the City. ANALYSIS• Article XXXIV of the California Constitution requires that before a "State public body" (including cities) participates in the develop- ment, construction, or acquisition of a "low rent housing project" there must be approval by a majority of the eligible electorate of the jurisdiction. While the City may not- wish to actually acquire or construct housing, this Article has been interpreted by the courts to more broadly limit actions available to the City. Pio 3ne Page Two Specifically, the Article XXXIV authority will permit the City to utilize assisted housing funds provided by HUD and the California Housing Finance Agency for which the City may not now apply. These funds can provide below market interest rate financing for housing, direct subsidies for eligible tenants, or a variety of other types of assistance. The referendum is not a blanket authority but limits the City' s participation to a number of units not to exceed five percent of the total dwelling units in the City; and lastly, the refer- endum forbids the commitment of General Fund Revenues for any project developed under this approval. These points are expanded upon in the attached memorandum provided by the Orange County Housing Authority. Also attached is a letter from the Authority' s Executive Director requesting the Council ' s consideration of this matter.

Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re : Participation in Article XXXIV Referendum Dear Mayor : As you may already be aware , on February 27 , the Orange County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution, sponsored by the Hous- ing Authority, which provides for an "Article XXXIV Referendum" election within the unincorporated area of the county. A copy of the resolution is an attachment to the enclosed memorandum which describes the specifics of the referendum. To summarize its contents briefly , passage of the referendum will permit the county to receive state or federal funds for the con- struction, development, or acquisition of rental housing for elderly, handicapped and low- to moderate-income households within the unincorporated area. Perhaps most significantly , it will also enable the county to channel such financial assistance to the private sector for the development of housing . Of special interest: to cities within the county , is the provision of the resolution which permits them to participate in the refer- endum election upon passage of a resolution so electing . A city participating in the election will have its vote tallied separately, and if a majority of the voters within the city approve the refer- endum, the city would be authorized to receive housing assistance funds as described above . uena Park Costa Mesa • Cypress • Fountain Valley • Fullerton • Huntington Beach • Irvine • Laguna Beach • La Habra • La Palma Los Alamitos • Newport Beach Orange • Placentia • San Clemente • San Juan Capistrano • Seat Beach • Stanton • Tustin • Win Park • Westminster • Ynrba Lmda U rn_;n;,o.rr t Mea March 3 , 1980 Page Two The purpose of this letter is to advise you of this opportunity for your city, and to urge you to consider , as soon as possible , whether you wish to participate in the election . Since the measure will be placed on the ballot for the June 3 , 1980 primary election, cities which wish to participate must file their resolu- tion with the County Registrar on or before March 21 , 1980.

Sincerely, ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY John!% L.'-E��}tabile E eeutive Director JLA: rs /Enclosures cc w/enclosures : City Manager Board of Supervisors a• MEMORANDUM CONCERNING PROPOSED ARTICLE XXXIV REFERENDUM BACKGROUND As a recipient of the federal Community Development Block Grant, Orange County and its cooperating cities are . required to develop, adopt, and implement a "Housing Assistance Plan" which identifies the housing needs of low and moderate income households and identifies specific steps that will be taken to try to meet those housing needs. Over the past years, Orange County and. the cities within the County, have been actively trying to meet the identified housing needs by attracting developers and assisting them in constructing and rehabilitating housing for low and moderate income, elderly, and handicapped house- holds. Despite these efforts, the demand for affordable, adequate housing has reached crisis proportions, due to extremely low vacancy rates and inflation in the cost of rental housing. Of the 662 ,000 households in Orange County, 127,709 , or 19 . 30 , pay more than 250 of their income for housing, while making less than 80 of the median County income. Virtually all of the programs available to meet these recognized needs are state or federally funded. Many . of these programs involve direct agreements between HUD and the developer, or landlord, such as the Section 8 program for new construction or existing units. Other programs, however, involve funds which are made available to local government for the construction, or financing of construction, of housing. Local governments may not, however, receive the second category of funds (so-called "assisted housing" funds) unless they have previously obtained the approval of its citizens in an "Article XXXIV Referendum. " Article XXXIV of the California Constitution requires referendum approval before any "low rent housing project" is developed, constructed, or acquired in any manner by any "state public body. " "Low rent housing project" is defined as any develop- ment composed of urban or rural dwelling, apartments or other living accommodations for low income persons , which are financed in whole or part by the ?ederal Government a or a state public body. ;'State public body" is defined 1 he t as State, or an as the t y city, city and county, county, district, y, agency, or any other subdivision or public body. IMPACTS OF LACK OF REr r,;ENDUM �� AUlHORITY At the present time, Orange County and most of the cities within the County lack Article XXXIV authority. As a result HUD and the California Housing Finance Agency --J (CHFA) have not made "assisted housing" funds available to Orange County, but only funds for rent subsidies, which do not requireograms Articlesuch XXXIVSpaprSecovali 8 pro . For the past two years, Orange Coun ' Section 8 funds, made by HUD, has been adjustedaveryation of slightly upwards to compensate for the inability to receive assisted housing funds. Assisted housing funds which ordinarily would have been allocated to Orange County, were instead allocated to those who had referendum authority. L Beginning in fiscal year 1980 (ending September 30, 1980) , r:7 HUD will no longer adjust its allocations to reflect the j absence of Article XXXIV authority. In other words , Orange i County will henceforth receive an allocation composed of both Section 8 rent subsidy funds and assisted housing funds regardless of the County 's and cities ' present inability to t utilize the latter. Should Orange County continue to be unable to utilize assisted housing funds, the funds would be transferred by HUD to those local governments who could, i. e. , those local governments having Article XXXIV authority. Orange County would still have Section 8 rent subsidy funds, but they would be proportionately smaller than in earlier years. As a consequence, Orange County and the cities within it would be destined to receive less than their "Fair Share' of federal and state housing assistance funds in the overall sense. To give an illustration, in fiscal year 1978 alone, it was estimated by SCAG that approximate) lion assisted housing funds were not allocated to$Orange 2 . 2 lCountyfdue to the absence of Article XXXIV authority. Extrapolated over the 40 year life of the financing, this means a loss to the cities within the County of federal funds in excess of $80 million (not adjusted for inflation) . A similar loss would occur each year the cities lacked referendum authority. -2- N a s THE PROPOSED REFERENDUM To address the potential problem, the Orange County Housing Authority proposed to the Board of Supervisors on February 19 that an Article XXXIV Referendum be placed on the June 3 , 1980 general election ballot. After review by the County' s Administrative Officer and further discussion by the Board, the Board, on February 27 , adopted a resolution ' calling a special election for the referendum and consolidating it with the general election. A copy is attached hereto as Exhibit A. . The language of the ballot measure is patterned after two recent measures , which were utilized in successful referenda in Riverside and San Bernardino County. Basically , the referendum provides authorization for utilization of assisted housing funds for rental housing in the unincorporated area of the County. Such housing would be available to the elderly or . handicapped, as well as low and moderate income persons. The number of units built or rehabilitated pursuant to the authority conferred would be limited to 50 of the total dwelling units within the unincorporated area of the County. Utilizing the most current statistics , this would translate into approximately 4 , 400 total units for the unincorporated county. Even with the additional funds which would become available with referendum approval, only a fraction of the total authorized units would be produced in the foreseeable future. The proposed ballot measure, as did the one utilized in San Bernardino County, also provides for the participation of cities within the County. Should a city wish to participate in the election, it would be required to adopt a resolution so requesting, and to file it with the Registrar before the March 21 deadline. A form of resolution for such purpose, prepared by the Housing Authority ' s special legal counsel, Rutan & Tucker, is attached hereto as Exhibit B. In such event, the County ' s resolution directs the Registrar to submit separate election results for the unincorporated area and for each "participating city" . The measure would only become ,. effective if a majority of the persons voting on the measure in the participating city approve the measure. Of special note to prospective participating cities , is the provision of the County 's resolution providing for -3- notice of hearing prior to application to HUD or CHFA for funding of a specific project. This provision reassures the citizenry and council of each participating city that they retain ultimate approval of county 's housing under the general authority conferred by the passage of the referendum. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly in this :'Age of max Rebellion" , the ballot measure provides that no county or city general fund monies, as the case may be, may be expended for such housing. This clause emphasizes that the referendum is not a commitment of any local funds or a bond issue. The cost of the election itself, approxi- mately 10 cents per registered voter in participating cities , is an eligible Community Development Block Grant expenditure. Ballot measures such as that proposed here , have traditionally met with a favorable response from the electorate .with approximately 810 of such referenda gaining approval. In the two most recent referenda, those in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties , measures very similar to that proposed here received comfortable margins of approval. For example, in San Bernardino County the measure passed by nearly a two-to-one margin. Having approved such a ballot measure , eligibility . for assisted housing funds from HUD and CHFA seems assured. The similar measures approved in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties , have already received approval by those agencies, and assisted housing funds have been allocated as a result. POSITIVE IMPACTS OF REFERENDUM AUTHORITY A referendum under Article XXXIV will allow the County and participating agencies to finance, develop or own affordable rental housing units within their jurisdictions . Equally important, it allows private developers to use additional forms of CHFA financing for housing development, and allows local government much greater flexibility in assisting private developers to produce needed housing. The referendum thereby makes available a substantial amount of HUD and CHFA funds . It also would allow the County and j participating cities a variety of ways in which to improve the housing provided under programs already in use. -4- Y No loss of tax revenue would result from the referendum, since privately developed housing built under any of the assisted housing programs pays full taxes , and publicly owned or non-profit sponsered housing may make payments "in lieu" of taxes to the city, county or special district in which it is located. Additionally, because the referendum makes more federal and state funds available, it would give a boost to new construction and thereby increase local tax revenues. In the latter context, it must be ren.embered that recent economic statistics show a downturn in economic activity, particularly in construction of housing. While Orange County will probably weather the "recession" in better fashion than other parts of the state or nation, approval of the Article XXXIV referendum will further mitigate the recession' s effects by creating employment in construction and related areas. For all of the foregoing reasons , foremost of which are the recognized need for low-rent housing and the possible loss of funds for such housing, it is essential that the ballot measure be presented to the voters at the June general election.

CITY Lr Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions: �('J Statement of Issue: B t the meeting of December 17, 1979, the City Council directed staff to investigate the recommendation of the League of California Cities that an advisory proposition on distribution of State sales tax revenue be placed on our local ballot. Recommendation: I. Place the advisory measure on the June primary ballot. 2. Direct the City Clerk to prepare a detailed timetable and the City Attorney to prepare the proper resolution. Analysis: The measure states in part: "It is the will of the people of the City of Huntington Beach that the Governor and Legislature apportion the existing six cents sales and use tax so that two cents rather than the present one cent be allocated to be used by cities and counties and special districts for priority local services rather than by the State for state distribution or state reserves." This measure is not binding, but is advisory only to the State Legislature. According to the League, if the ballot measure is approved by the voters, it will be an important argument with the Legislature that voters are extremely desirous of obtaining a "no strings" permanent funding source for cities based on the redistribution of sales tax rather than increased taxes. Over 70 percent of the voters in the City of San Diego agreed with this position. Other cities which have notified the League they will put this measure on their spring ballots include Arcata, Azusa, Barstow, Bishop, Capitola, Chula Vista, Claremont, Colfax, Corning, Coronado, Del Mar, El Centro, Fortuna, Glendale, Grand Terrace, Gridley, Livermore, Lomita, Madera, Manteca, Marysville, Monrovia, Perris, Placentia, Placerville, Rocklin, San Gabriel, Santa Barbara, Tustin, Upland, Wasco and Weed. next page, please . . . . . . . REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION January 9, 1980 Advisory Proposition on State Sales Tax Page Two The disadvantage of placing this measure on the June primary is that it may become a campaign issue for candidates during our local elections culminating in April. In addition, if Jarvis II which reduces state income should pass in June, it is unlikely that the State will divert any of its remaining revenue sources to cities. However, one can never be certain of the outcome of political dynamics. In order to place this on the June ballot, a resolution calling a special election and requesting consolidation with county services must be adopted at the April 7 City Council meeting. The City Clerk estimates the expense to be a minimum of $5,000 for consolidating the advisory measure with the County so that it may be on the June primary ballot. Funding Source: Contingency Fund. No funds are budgeted. Alternative Actions: I. Do not place on the June primary election. 2. Call a special election for another date (the City would have to bear the entire cost of the election).

This office has already processed several annexations after the above date by moving voters into the new pre- cinct and changing the precinct boundary lines on our precinct maps. Since we are not aware of any agreements to finalize annexations which were completed after July 23, we are moving the voters back to their former precinct and moving the precinct boundary lines back as they were prior to the pending annexation. We will not process any annexation by moving the voters and precinct boundary lines until we receive written notification from the city that the city and county have agreed, by resolution, to accept the negotiated exchange of property tax revenues, as required by AB8. ro0_eltr Shirley Deaton Chief, Election Operations ®®® League of California Cities California Cities Work Togelhef Information Packet Relating to Local Advisory Propositions on Distribution of State Sales Tax Revenues (1979 Annual Conference Resolution No. 62) December 3, 1979 T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S Page Text of Annual Conference Resolution No. 62 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Text of Proposition C, on San Diego City Ballot on September 18, 1979 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Election Procedures Regarding Local Advsiory Ballot Propositions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-5 Ballot Arguments Utilized in San Diego Election . . . . . . . . . . . 6-7 - 1 - 1400 K STREET SACRAMENTO 95814 HOTEL CLAREMONT-BERKELEY 94705 900 WILSHIRE BLVD.SUITE 702 LOS ANGELES 90017 (916)444-5790 (415)843-3083 (213)624-4934 Text of Annual Conference Resolution No. 62 (Adopted at the 1979 Annual Conference, San Francisco, September 25, 1979) "RESOLUTION RELATING TO LOCAL ADVISORY PROPOSITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION OF STATE SALES TAX REVENUE "WHEREAS, local governments in California provide many essential public serv- ices such as police protection, fire protection, and parks and recreation; and "WHEREAS, of the 6% sales tax collected in California, only 1% is levied by local agencies, the remainder being levied by the state for state distribution or placement in state reserves; and "WHEREAS, by adopting this resolution, the League of California Cities has no intention of supporting a change in the distribution of the existing U local sales tax; and "WHEREAS, it is the position of the League of California Cities that of the sales tax, 1j of the 4-3/4j retained by the state should be distributed to local agencies; now, therefore, be it "RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in Annual Conference in San Francisco, September 25, 1979, that the League encourage all cities at an election prior to July 1, 1980, to include an advisory proposition on the ballot requesting an expression of the public will, which advisory proposition would read substantially as follows: 'Should the Governor and Legislature of the State of California be advsied that: 'It is the will of the people of the City of that the Governor and Legislature apportion the existing six cents sales and use tax so that two cents rather than the present one cent be allocated to be used by cities and counties and special districts for priority local services rather than by the state for state dis- tribution or state reserves. 'It is understood that if the Governor and Legislature so act, any funds resulting therefrom which would cause the city to exceed a spending limit imposed by a vote of the people of the City of or the State of California shall, in accordance with the provisions of the limitation, be returned to the people. 'Further, it is the will of the people that the Governor and Legis- lature enact such allocation into law no later than July 1, 1980, to avoid enactment of this proposal through the initiative process to cure legislative default. "' 2 - Text of Proposition C, as it appeared and was approved on the San Diego City Ballot, September 18, 1979. "PROPOSITION C (THIS PROPOSITION WILL APPEAR ON THE BALLOT IN THE FOLLOWING FORM) "PROPOSITION C. ADVISING THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OF THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO TO HAVE ENACTED INTO LAW A RE- ALLOCATION OF EXISTING SALES AND USE TAXES. "Should the Governor and Legislature of the State of California be advised that: "It is the will of the people of the city of San Diego that the Governor and the Legislature apportion the existing six cents state sales and use tax so that two cents rather than the present one cent be allocated to be used by cities and counties for priority local services rather than by the state for state services or to the state surplus. "It is understood that if the Governor and Legislature so act, any funds re- sulting therefrom which would cause the city to exceed a spending limit imposed by a vote of the people of the City of San Diego or the State of California shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 77 of the City Charter, be returned to the people or expended for capital improvements. "Further, it is the will of the people that the Governor and Legislature en- act such allocation into law by no later than the first .of May 1980, to avoid the unnecessary enactment by the people through the initiative process to cure legislative default." - 3 - ELECTION PROCEDURES RHUARDING LOCAL ADVISORY BALLOT PROPOSITIONS The Elections Code (Section 5353) provides a mechanism for the public to voice their opinion on substantive issues or to indicate to the local legislative body approval or disapproval of the ballot proposal. The "advisory vote" means an indication of general voter opinion and the results in no way are controlling on the legislative body. Procedures for placing an advisory measure on the ballot are briefly summarized below. You should consult with your city clerk and city attorney regarding the elections procedures to be followed. Suggested Code Date Citation 1. Council to place measure on ballot January 24) Elec. C. 2. Determine and announce deadline for ) §§4017, 4018, 5010- submission of arguments January 24) 5016 and 22807 3.

Public notice of nominees and measures February 28 Elec. C. §§22833- 22835 6. 'Committees supporting/opposing measures 1st statement due February 28) Gov. C. §§84200- 2nd statement due March 27 ) 82205 3rd statement due June 12 ) Suggestions Regarding Advisory Election Procedures: - While not apparently required by law, ordering submission of the advisory measure to the electors of the city at the general municipal election should probably be published to be cautious and avoid any allegations of lack of notice. - Since there appears to be no deadline for submission of advisory ballot mea- sures, the controlling factor is the time required locally to prepare the necessary sample ballot materials. City clerks usually prefer to publish any notice of deadlines for submittal of ballot arguments at the same time as the Notice of 'Election (i.e. required between January 10 and January 24, 1980) in order to give notice of measures that will be on the ballot. - Regarding an impartial analysis of the measure, under Elections Code Section 5011 the governing body may request the city attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure. - 4 - - Campaign Disclosure. If groups form to support or oppose the advisory ballot measure qualify as "committees" under the Political' Reform Act, then campaign statements will have to be filed as required by law. Statements are to be filed 40 days prior to the election, 12 days prior, and 65 or less days after the election (February 28, March 27, June 12) . - Advisory Vote Outside City Boundaries. Section 5353(d) of the Elections Code apparently permits the sponsoring legislative body to call for an advisory vote outside the territory of the jurisdiction if the residents of that territory are affected by the issue and if the advisory election can be consolidated with the regular or special elections in such terri- tory. However, there would be additional election costs involved. K - 5 - Ballot Arguments Utilized in San Diego Election "ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION C "Want to send a message to Sacramento? Then Vote Yes on Proposition C! Ask yourself, what public services are of the greatest importance to you? Police protection? Fire protection? Libraries? Parks and recreation? All these services are provided by local government and essential to a good quality of life. Certainly they are of far greater value than those championed by overstaffed state and federal bureaucracies, which produce questionable benefits to the public while unquestionably devouring your tax dollars. Did you know that the state collects locally a 6% sales tax, yet returns only slightly more than l%? The rest stays in Sacramento where a massive budget surplus has proven to be an irresistible temptation for Sacramento politicians to underwrite their pet projects. Yet, local government is faced with having to reduce or hold the line on these most important public services. It simply does not make sense! Proposition C tells Sacramento it had better get the priorities straight, and address our most critical needs without increasing the tax burden. Proposition C proposes that some of that money that now goes to and is spent in Sacramento be returned to local government so that city and county government does not have to be concerned with providing you with the kind of police and fire pro- tection or other critical services you need and deserve. Remember that our spending limit and that proposed under the 'Spirit of 13' initiative requires that any extra revenue would have to be returned to you or be used for much needed public improvements. No wonder that Paul Gann, coauthor of Proposition 13 and the new spending limit, sup- ports Proposition C. San Diego Taxpayers Association supports Proposition C. To assure essential local services, to reduce that massive surplus in Sacramento, vote for local control and for Proposition C. PETE WILSON CARLETON LICHTY Mayor President City of San Diego San Diego Chamber of Commerce BILL LOWERY JACK PEARSON Councilman President City of San Diego San Diego Police Officers Association" J. BRUCE HENDERSON President Association of Concerned Taxpayers "ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION C "Opposition to diversion of sales tax. In passing Proposition G & J, 75% of the voters in San Diego voted to establish spend- ing limits in the county and city respectively. Proposition 13 was overwhelmingly passed by the voters in an effort to tell government to cut back their spending, not increase it. Proposition C asks you the voters, whether or not you want to have the f Governor and state legislature allocate U of the state sales and use tax to local governments rather than the current U. I believe that this is not the will of the people. This proposal is in direct opposition to the philosophies set forth by Propositions G, J, & 13, which preclude the need for any addi.tional revenues. The real issue we need to address is not where our revenues will come from, and how much, but is one which deals with the current inequities of our tax system. Proposi- tion C does not address the issues of tax inequities. What is required is a major overhaul of our present tax system based on evaluations of public services from a regional perspective. As a result of these propositions, local governments are cutting back unnecessary fat, and effectively consolidating departments and programs. Asking for additional revenues will put us right back where we started. I urge you to vote no on Proposition C. JIM BATES Supervisor Fourth District" 7 -
