Dear Senator Roberti:
HENRY A. CLAVL5. It
City Manager
ALICE M. REIMCHE
City Clerk
RONALD AA STEIN
City Attorney
The severe revenue reductions proposed for the Cities of
California presently under discussion challenges the
preservation of effective municipal government in the State of
California.
The impact of going beyond a $250 million cut for cities and
reducing city subventions by approximately $412 million --or
elimination of the vehicle in lieu license fee and cigarette?:
tax subventions, would amount to approximately $33.00 per
capita or an approximately $888,000 reduction to the City of
Lodi.
This type of reduction takes away funding from the Government
which is the closest to the people and is responsible for
services that affect the daily lives of our cities.
Proposition 13 resulted in cost cutting efforts at every level
of local government by cities throughout California,
Essential services have had to be reduced and necessary
capital improvement projects deferred or eliminated.
It is essential that local Government be able to continue
essential local services with adequate funding.
The City Council of the City of Lodi urges your opposition to
the proposals presently under consideration to drastically
reduce local funding.
BY ORDER OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
Alice M. Rimche
City Clerk
