MESA, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING ANY LEGISLATIVE MANDATE
CREATING NEW REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND URGING THE LEAGUE
OF CALIFORNIA CITIES TO SUPPORT THIS POSITION.
WHEREAS, several legislative matters are presently being considered
by the State Legislature which would have the effect of creating new
regional governmental agencies; and
WHEREAS, the creation of regional organizations with regulatory
and taxing powers could override and usurp many well established and vital
functions now exercised by cities and counties, and
WHEREAS, a joint committee of the County Supervisors Association
of California and the League of California Cities has agreed upon and
issued a policy statement dealing with regional approaches to governmental
problem solving; and
WHEREAS, the joint policy statement on regionalism does not express
the views of the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa; and
WHEREAS, voluntary cooperative efforts by cities and counties in the
different regions of the State can provide the solutions to existing
and prospective regional problems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa, that this Council opposes any legislative action which mandates
the creation of new regional governmental agencies possessing regulatory
and/or taxing powers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Council encourages a voluntary
statewide cooperative effort between the cities and counties to accomplish
the solutions to problems of regional significance; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Council urges the League of California
Cities to adopt a Resolution opposing the creation of new regional
regulatory and taxing agencies, at the 1970 Annual Conference of the League
of Cities.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of September 70.
