A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF A0HNERT PARK
URGING THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR WILSON
TO TOTALLY REPEAL 38 2557
AND ENACT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL REFORM
WHEREAS, SB 2557 was enacted as part of the 1990-91 State budget package

local governments against one another and i3 disruptive to adequate planning and
service provision; and

from political accountability for their budget decisions; and

governments will have lasting, harmful effects on our communities, our schools,
and our economy.

Legislature to totally repeal 3B 2557 and replace it with meaningful fiscal
reform that will allow each local government to adequately finance its
responsibilities to its constituency.
