After introduction of all present in the Conference
Surplus Funds
Room, discussion was held regarding the surplus funds
which are to be allocated to city governments under
Senate Bill 154, brought about because the Jarvis -Gann
Initiative, Proposition 13, was approved by the voters
at the June 6, 1978, election, which substantially cuts
property tax money received by city governments. The
City Manager recommended to the Council that the funds
be refused because of conditions imposed upon those
cities accepting the funds. He said that the League
of Cities was proposing legislation which allowed
funds to be set aside in a trust fund which would be
beneficial to cities. Councilwomen Schafer and Small-
wood expressed the wish that the City proceed
cautiously.
