93-209 RESOLUTION NO. 93R-209
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE LOCAL
PUBLIC SAFETY PROTECTION AND IMPROVEMENT ACT
OF 1993 (PROPOSITION 172) WHICH WOULD EXTEND
THE HALF-CENT SALES TAX AND DEDICATE REVENUES
TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
WHEREAS, in 1991 the State Legislature and Governor
Wilson imposed a temporary half-cent sales tax to meet the budget
crisis and balance the State Budget, which entailed a multi-
billion-dollar gap between State revenues and spending; and
WHEREAS, the temporary half-cent sales tax was further
extended to meet the 1993 State Budget crisis due to the
unrelenting economic recession, with the proviso that the
permanent extension of the half-cent sales tax be dedicated to
public safety and the decision placed before the voters in a
special election in November 1993; and
WHEREAS, counties eligible to receive the extended
half-cent sales tax will be those counties whose Boards of
Supervisors endorsed the extension, or a majority of voters
within the county approves the sales tax extension; and
WHEREAS, if the extension of the half-cent sales tax is
not approved by the voters in November 1993, it will be necessary
for the Governor and the Legislature to revisit the 1993/94 State
Budget to explore alternatives to offset a potential $800,000,000
shortfall which could entail further cuts in property tax and
other local revenues; and
WHEREAS, the extension is not a new tax but a
continuation of an existing tax and would provide the essential
funding for adequate levels of police and fire protection in
Orange County and throughout the State of California;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Anaheim that the City of Anaheim supports the
provisions and safeguards for police and fire protection
specified in the Local Public Safety Protection and Improvement
Act of 1993.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
city Council of the city of Anaheim this 26th day of
October , 1993.
