A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY
BILL 2828 WHICH REQUIRES THE STATE
TO CREATE A LOCAL AGENCY FISCAL
RESTORATION FUND AND REALLOCATE
MONIES IN THAT FUND TO THE
COUNTIES TO OFFSET THE MONIES
LOCAL AGENCIES MUST CONTRIBUTE
TO SCHOOLS.
WHEREAS, due to State budget shortfalls, counties were required to establish
Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds; and
WHEREAS, the State requires a large proportion of property tax revenue
generated by local agencies (cities, counties and special districts) to be contributed
to these Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds; and
WHEREAS, these property tax revenue shifts have had a serious and negative
impact upon the ability of local agencies to adequately fund law enforcement, fire
protection, courts, jails, libraries, health care, parks, and other essential local
programs and services; and
WHEREAS, local agencies should not have to keep subsidizing the State; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2828 provides that the State be required to create
a Local Agency Fiscal Restoration Fund; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2828 further provides that the State contribute any
and all general fund revenue it collects which is in excess of the amount collected
in the previous year and also in excess of that which must be set aside for schools
to the Local Agency Fiscal Restoration Fund; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2828 further provides that the monies in the Local
Agency Fiscal Restoration Fund be distributed to the counties, which in turn, are
required to place it in the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund, thus, reducing the
amount which must be contributed by the local agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of
Bakersfield that Assembly Bill 2828, as currently constituted, is hereby supported.
