/;CTION:
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jill H. Rubin, Management Analyst (-
DATE: March 19, 1992 (3/25 Council Meeting)
SUBJECT: Opposition to AB 3213 (Cigarette Tax Revenue) and
SCA 41 (Vehicle License Fees)
Background
AB 3213 (Isenberg) would implement the Governor's budget proposal
to shift all of the remaining Cigarette Tax revenue from cities and
counties to the state general fund. According to the League of
California Cities, the State took forty -seven (47) percent of
cities' Cigarette Tax revenue as part of the State's budget
balancing actions for 1991/92. This action included sunset language
that would return the revenue to cities after five years. If
implemented, AB 3213, would allow the State to permanently take all
Cigarette Tax revenue.
AB 3213 was recently introduced and has not been assigned to a
committee.
SCA 41 (Watson), would ensure that those revenues derived from the
Vehicle License Fee (VLF) increase on July 1, 1991, for state and
county realignment of health, mental health, and social services
programs, be guaranteed for counties. However, by specifying that
any increases on or after July 1, 1991 would be earmarked, cities
would be permanently excluded from any future increases in VLF.
SCA 41 will be heard by the Senate Local Government Committee on
April 1, 1992.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to draft
letters to the State Assembly Member and Senator representing
Moorpark in opposition to both matters, and to the Senate Local
Government Committee Members in opposition to SCA 41.
