WHEREAS, Ban J ng is a full-service City, including a municipally
owned electric com•,any and airport, serving a population of 15,000; and
WHEREAS, Sanning has General Fund obligations of 3.7 million dol-
lars necessary t:, provide minimum level of service for Police, Fire,
streets, Parks and Recreation, etc.; and
WHEREAS, only one-third of this total comes from the two major
revenue sources available to General Law cities ($540,000 in property
taxes and $670,000 in sales taxes), requiring the City to fund the re-
maining 2.5 million from other sources, the largest portion of which is
of necessity borne by its utilities as administrative overhead; and
WHEREAS, were it not for its Enterprise Funds (water, sewer and
electric), Banning's General Fund would be insufficient to finance any-
thing beyond Police. Fire and administrative support; ane
WHEREAS, even with support from Enterprise Funds, Banning was
forced in 1981-82 to eliminate 18 positions in order to balance its bud-
get; and
WHEREAS, this year, by virtue of the State's own financial dilem-
ma, Banning's vehicle in -lieu fees were reduced by $147,000 over the pre-
vious year, necessitating further service reductions; and
WHEREAS, municipalities have virtually no practical way (given the
fact that Assessment Districts require two-thirds vote) of addressing ma-
jor revenue needs without assistance from either the State or Federal
Governments,
NOW, THEREFORE. BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Banning requests
the support of every City in the State to join with it in urging the
Legislature to make the issue of revenue deficiencies, both for municipal-
ities and School Districts, the number one priority ip the new session.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of November, 1982.
