RDA Resolution 1993-05w*h/ RESOLUTION NO. RA 93-5
A RESOLUTION OF THE LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
PROTESTING THE STATE CUTBACKS AGAINST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
WHEREAS, the State of California has experienced severe
budget problems over the past two years and has had difficulty
in addressing these problems; and
WHEREAS, the last state budget approval process in 1992
continued for 64 days beyond the constitutional deadline and
resulted in considerable delays, difficulties and uncertainties
for local governments; and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature and the Governor have
exhibited an increasing inclination to reduce levels of funding
to local governments while increasing the level of mandated,
required and unfunded State programs; and
WHEREAS, the balanced budget actions" by the State have
hampered the City of La Quinta in its efforts to serve its
citizens, have threatened the financial stability of the City
and all local governments and special districts throughout the
State, and have compromised the ability of said governments to
provide basic services to their citizens; and
WHEREAS, the State*s reduction in funds to local
governments resulted in both new and increased charges,
withholding of traditional revenues, and therefore, forced
tremendous cuts in all local budgets; and
WHEREAS, in 1992-93 the property tax increment for La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency was reduced by 17 percent; and
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency has been
severely impacted by these cuts resulting in the need to
consider reductions in the funding or the potential elimination
of programs in order to balance its own budget;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1
The Agency demands that State of California balance its own
Budget without raiding the treasuries of local governments and
special districts.
