SENATE BILL 1114 (MADDY) WHICH REQUIRES
LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO HOLD HARMLESS PUBLIC
SAFETY SERVICES IN ANY BUDGET CUTS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the State of California has experienced severe budget problems over the past
two years and has had difficulty addressing these problems; and
WHEREAS, the State's budget problems have severely impacted local governments'
budgets; and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature and the Governor have reduced levels of funding to
local governments and, at the same time, increased controls impacting those legislative bodies'
ability to balance their budgets; and
WHEREAS, the State has made no attempt to relieve local governments of mandates, has
shifted significant revenues, and has instituted such measures as jail booking fees; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1114, authored by State Senator Maddy, imposes further
restrictions on local government budgets by holding harmless public safety services in any
budget cuts; and
WHEREAS, public safety expenditures make up almost 50 percent of the City of Costa
Mesa's budget; and
WHEREAS, the passage of this Bill would erode the City of Costa Mesa's control over
its budget, impact labor negotiations, and retard efforts towards such cost-saving measures as
civilization; and
WHEREAS, this Bill contains no expiration date and would constitute another ongoing
control;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa opposes Senate Bill 1114.
