1975-145WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim is a member of the Southern
California Association of Governments with membership in such or-
ganization being voluntary; and
WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of Govern-
ments does not possess taxing authority; and
WHEREAS, at the last session of our State Legislature,
there were presented a number of proposals for the creation of new
regional agencies; and
WHEREAS, there is a strong likelihood that this session
of the State Legislature will have a variety of additional proposals
for the creation of other regional agencies in the fields of air
quality, transportation, environmental quality, and land use; and
WHEREAS, there continues to be an ever increasing need
for coordination between these efforts in order to avoid duplica-
tion and overlap between agencies and to assure the most effective
expenditure of tax funds; and
WHEREAS, proposals may be introduced before the State
Legislature making membership in such regional agencies mandatory
and giving such regional agencies the power to tax.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Anaheim that the Southern California Association of
Governments is and, in the opinion of the City Council, should re-
main a voluntary association of local governments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Southern California
Association of Governments should act primarily as a planning and
reviewing agency, with only such regulatory power as necessary to
carry out these functions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Southern California Asso-
ciation of Governments is, and should continue to be, a regional
agency governed entirely by locally elected officials and with
planning responsibility that would be advisory to state and local
governments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Southern California Asso-
ciation of Governments should not be granted the power to impose
taxes.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is signed and approved by me
this 25th day of March, 1975.
