93-210 RESOLUTION NO. 93R-210
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF '
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA,
DESIGNATING OCTOBER 27, 1993
"NATIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATES DAY"
WHEREAS, over the past several years the U.S. Congress
has passed dozens of pieces of legislation creating hundreds of
costly regulations which must be satisfied by local governments;
and
WHEREAS, the costs of implementing the regulations
imposed by all of this legislation have not been assumed by the
federal government and instead have been passed on to local
governments; and
WHEREAS, Washington's practice of imposing, but not
finding, costly mandates on local governments, coupled with the
dramatic cuts in federal urban aid over the past decade, is now
adding significantly to the already serious financial problems of
these governments; and
WHEREAS, the underlying foundation of federalism in
this nation is a working partnership among the federal, state and
local levels of government, a partnership of shared
responsibility and accountability; and
WHEREAS, the current practice of imposing, but not
funding, federal mandates reflects neither shared responsibility
nor shared accountability and acknowledges that our national
legislature can dictate how local government revenues will be
spent; and
WHEREAS, the nation's mayors have called on the
Congress and the President to oppose any regulation, policy
proposal or legislative bill which mandates programs and
responsibilities on state and local governments without full
federal funding; and
WHEREAS, the Conference of Mayors and other concerned
national organizations have named October 27, 1993 National
Unfunded Mandates Day, a day on which government leaders at all
levels will alert their citizens to the financial burdens being
imposed on them by unfunded mandates,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Anaheim
designates October 27, 1993 as National Unfunded Mandates Day and
joins cities throughout the nation in a national public education
campaign to increase understanding of the local impact of
unfunded federal mandates; and
4448.1\EEGAN\October 20, 1993
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Anaheim will
work with The U.S. Conference of Mayors and other national
organizations on passage of legislation that will require
reimbursement of local governments for the costs of complying
with federal mandates.
THE FOREGOING RESOL~ION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this 26th day of
October , 1993.
