CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
CONTRA COSTA CO.
Dear Tom:
Enclosed is a copy of a bill, SB 1234 (Bergeson) , which
should be of critical concern to the Board of Supervisors.
SB 1234 was introduced to address the perceived need to
realign the fiscal and programmatic relationships between the
state and local agencies -- a goal that many of us consider
laudable.
However, in attempting to ensure that the Legislature and
Governor reach consensus on some form of realignment, Senator
Bergeson has included a "penalty" provision in SB 1234 that will
almost certainly result in the shutting down of the operations of
the county as of July 1, 1994.
SB 1234 creates a twelve-member committee to make
recommendations on changes that should be made in the existing
state-local alignment. If the Legislature and Governor fail to
act upon the committee's recommendations by July 1, 1994, SB 1234
specifically requires that all property taxes, local sales taxes,
vehicle license fees and state sales taxes be sequestered as of
that date.
Lest it be forgotten so quickly, this year was the first time
in the past seven years that the Legislature and Governor were
able to agree upon our budget by our constitutional deadline.
Cc ; CA-0
There is absolutely no basis for assuming that the
Legislature and Governor will be able reach consensus on an issue
as far-reaching as the reordering of the state-local government
financing and programmatic relationship by this deadline. '
The sequestering of these monies will mean that the county
has no money to operate -- no money to pay for law enforcement
services, fire protection services or any other of the myriad of
local government services that you are responsible for funding
and operating.
While I didn't hear from any of my cities or the county on
this bill, I spoke vehemently against SB 1234 when it was on the
Senate Floor because of the serious implications that it will
have for the county and every city in my district if it becomes
law.
Defeat of this legislation should be of utmost concern to
the Board. As you may be aware, the California State Association
of Counties has taken a position in support of this bill. I
would hope that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
would see fit to urge CSAC to change its position on SB 1234 .
I cannot possibly stress in any stronger terms the urgency of
contacting Assemblymembers' Campbell, Rainey and Bates to urge
their opposition to this bill while it is under consideration in
the Assembly.
Sincerely,
IEL E. BOATWRIGHT

Bergeson. Government financing.
Existing law establishes the Hdueatienai Revenue Augmentation Fund
far a++eeatien of property tax revenues in a speeified manner.- .
This bili would state the intent of the Legislature to make the

relative to the Bdueatienal Revenue Augmentation Fund.-
This bili would deeiare that it is to take effeet immediately
as an urgeney statute-
Existing law, known as the Community Redevelopment Law, authorizes
the establishment of redevelopment agencies in communities to address
the effects of blight, as defined, in those communities. Existing
law establishes the procedures for a legislative body of a city or
county to enact an ordinance to. ado t a redevelopment plan for a
project area, as defined.
This bill would provide that, notwithstanding provisions of
existing law, a legislative body of a city or county shall not
enact an ordinance to adopt or•amend a redevelopment plan for a
project area on or after January 1, 1994, except under specified
circumstances
Existing property tax law requires the county auditor, in each
fiscal year, to allocate property tax revenues to local
jurisdictions pursuant to specified formulas and procedures, and
generally provides that each jurisdiction shall be allocated, in
part, an amount equal to the amount of property tax revenue
allocated to that jurisdiction in the prior fiscaley ar, subject to
certain modifications.

BILL TEXT
This bill would revise these allocation provisions !?y providing,
for the 1994-95 fiscaley ar, that the amount of property tax
revenue deemed allocated for the prior fiscal year to each
jurisdiction shall be zero and would require that the amount of
revenue not so allocated be deposited in the Government Equity
Revenue Allocation Fund, which the bill would require to be
established in each county.
The existing Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on therg oss
receipts from the sale of, or the storage, use, or other
consumption in this state of, tangible personal property at
specified rates.
This bill would require that 70% of state sales and use tax
revenues be deposited in the Sales and Use Tax Revenue Account of
the Special State Sequester Fund, which the bill would create.
Under the existing Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax
Law, counties and cities are authorized to impose local sales and
use taxes in conformity with state sales taxes at the rate of
1.25$. — —
This bill would repeal those provisions.
Under existing- law, revenues from vehicle license fees in excess
of the costs of collection are apportioned to the cities and
counties according to certain specified formulas.
This bill would repeal that provision, and would instead require
that revenues from vehicle license fees in excess of the costs of
collection be deposited in the Vehicle License Fee Account of the
Special State Sequester Fund, which would be created by the bill.
This bill would specify that it is the Legislature's intent that
no moneys be allocated from the Sales and Use Tax Revenue Account
or the Vehicle License Fee Account until the Joint Legislative
Committee on Realignment, which would be created !Ry the bill, has
reported its recommendations and both houses and the Governor have
acted upon its recommendations.
This bill would provide for the establishment of the Joint
Legislative Committee on Realignment, specify its powers and duties,
and provide for its termination on March 11, 1994.
This bill would also specify legislative findings and declarations
regarding the realignment of fiscal and programmatic relationships
between the state government and local agencies to assist in the
resolution of the state's fiscal crisis.
The bill would provide that specified sections of the bill would
become operative on July 1, 1994, unless a later enacted statute,
which is chaptered before July 1, 1994, deletes or extends that
date.

immediate preservation of the publie peaee; health; or safety within
the meaning of Artiele IV of the eenstitutien and shall ge inte

In order to make the neeessary statutory ehanges to implement
the Budget Aet of 1993 at the earliest possible time; it is
neeessary that this aet take effeet immediately.-
SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
The recent repeated annual budget crises have exposed serious
problems in the fiscal and programmatic relationships between the
state government and local agencies.
(2Z The current complex web of federal and state mandates,
funding sources, and programmatic relationships are economically
inefficient, concealup blic accountability, and block political
responsiveness.
(3) The Legislature and the Governor have generally avoided
solving those underlying problems while they struggled with each
year's budget. As long as these problems remain unsolved, public
officials and their constituents have trouble delivering the services
needed to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
All parties realize that the current budget process destroys
cooperation among governments and produces dysfunctional programs. In
short, lurching from crisis to crisis .does not serve Californians'
long-term needs.
(5) The process of preparing and adopting an annual budget does
not create opportunities for solving long-term structural problems.
Because this process cannot reform itself, the Legislature .must take
a dramatic step to break the cycle of crisis.
In enacting this act, it is the intent of the Legislature
to create an unprecedented set of circumstances that will focus the
attention of the Legislature, the Governor, state and local
officials, and their constituents on the need to realign the fiscal
and programmatic relationships between the state government and local
agencies.
(C)_ It is the further intent of the Legislature in enacting
this act to create new opportunities to realign the fiscal and
programmatic relationships between the state government and local
agencies in time for the 1994-95 fiscal year which begins on July
1, 1994. It is the further intent of the Legislature that the
process created !2y this act shall result in the rational
realignment of the fiscal and programmatic relationships between the
state government and local agencies.
SEC. .2. Section 33365.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read
33365.5. jai Notwithstanding any other provision of this part or
Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 34000), a legislative body shall

(commencing with Section 34000) , a legislative body shall not enact
any ordinance to amend a redevelopment plan for a project area on
or after January 1, 1994, except as provided in subdivision (c) ,

allocated to the redevelopment agency.

advances, and indebtedness established pursuant to subdivisions (1)
and (22) of Section 33333.2.
�4) Lengthen theep riod during which the redevelopment plan is
effective.
(5Z Merge project areas.
(6Z Add significant additional capital improvement projects.
(cZ The prohibition of subdivision (a) shall not apply if the
planning commission has submitted a preliminary plan for the project
area to the agency pursuant to Section 33325 prior to January 1,
1994. The prohibition of subdivision J�J shall not apply if the
agency has prepared and sent to the affected taxing entities a
preliminary report pursuant to Section 33344.5 prior to January 1,
1994.
SEC. 3. Section 97 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended
to read
97. Except as otherwise provided in Sections. 97.01, 97.03, 97.3,. 97.10,
97.32, 97.35, and 97.38 for the 1980-81 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter, and subject to Section 98.6, property tax revenues shall be
apportioned to each jurisdiction pursuant to this section and Section 97.5 by
the county auditor, subject to allocation and payment of funds as provided for
in subdivision (b) of Section 33670 of the Health and Safety. Code, to each
jurisdiction in the following manner:
(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b) , for each tax rate area, each
jurisdiction shall be allocated an amount of property tax revenue equal to the
amount of property tax revenue allocated pursuant to this chapter to each
jurisdiction in the prior fiscal year, modified by any adjustments required by
Section 99 or 99.4.
(b) For each tax rate area, each special district shall be allocated an
amount of property tax revenue equal to the amount of.property tax revenue
which would have been allocated pursuant to this chapter to the district in
the prior fiscal year if no adjustment had been made pursuant to Section 98.6.
This amount shall then be adjusted for the current year pursuant to Section
98.6.
(c) The difference between the total amount of property tax revenue and the
amounts allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be allocated pursuant to
Section 98, and shall be known as the "annual tax increment."

(e) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 1990-91 fiscal
year, for the purposes of the computations required by this section, the
amount of property tax presumed to have been received by the county in the
prior year shall be increased by the amount of 1989-90 property tax
administrative costs proportionately attributable to incorporated cities as
determined pursuant to paragraph (2) .
(2) The auditor shall determine the 1989-90 fiscal year property tax
administrative costs proportionately attributable to incorporated cities by
adding the 1989-90 fiscal year property tax-related costs of the assessor, tax
collector, and auditor, including applicable administrative overhead costs as
permitted by federal Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87 standards,
. and multiplying the sum of those amounts by the ratio of property tax revenue
received by all incorporated cities divided by the total property tax revenue
for all local jurisdictions in the county for that fiscal year.
(3) The county shall use the additional revenue received pursuant to this
subdivision only to fund the actual costs of assessing, collecting, and
allocating property taxes. At least once each fiscal year, the county auditor
shall report the amount of these actual costs and allowable overhead costs to
the legislative body and any other jurisdiction or person that request the
information. To the extent that actual costs for assessing, collecting, and
allocating property taxes plus allowable overhead costs are less than the
amount determined pursuant to paragraph (2) , the county auditor shall
apportion the difference to each incorporated city as otherwise required by
this section.
(4) The county may retain up to one-half of any increased property tax
allocation to which a jurisdiction may be otherwise entitled, until the county
receives its additional revenues pursuant to this subdivision.
(5) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this subdivision to
recognize that since the adoption of Article XIIIA of the California
Constitution by the voters, county governments have borne an unfair and
disproportionate part of the financial burden of assessing, collecting, and
allocating property tax revenues for cities. It is further the intent of the
Legislature that the adjustments provided for by this subdivision shall
constitute charges .by a county for the assessment, collection, and allocation
of property taxes and shall not exceed the actual costs .reasonably borne by a
county for those activities.
(f) If so directed by the board of supervisors, the auditor shall determine
the 1989-90 fiscal year property tax administrative costs proportionately
attributable to local jurisdictions other than the county or city and county,
and cities, by adding the property tax.-related costs of the assessor, tax
collector, and auditor, including applicable administrative overhead costs as
permitted by federal Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87 standards,
and multiplying the sum .of those amounts by the ratio of property tax revenue
received by jurisdictions other than the county, city and county, and cities,
divided by the total property tax received by all local jurisdictions in the
county for that fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this
amount may be calculated for each fiscal year commencing with the 1989-90
fiscal year, and the auditor shall, commencing in fiscal year 1990-91, if so
directed by the board of supervisors, submit an invoice to these jurisdictions
for services .rendered in the prior fiscal year.

(g) Notwithstanding subdivision (f), no invoice as described in that
subdivision shall be submitted to any school district, community college
district, or county office of education, nor shall any of those entities be
required to pay any invoice, for property tax administrative costs for
services rendered in the 1990-91 fiscal year, or in any subsequent fiscal
year. This subdivision shall not be construed to prevent the auditor of any
county from imposing and collecting from school districts, community college
districts, and county offices of education, in accordance with subdivision .
(f) , invoices for property tax administrative costs for services rendered to
those entities in the 1989-90 fiscal year.

SEC. 11. jai The Joint Legislative Committee on Realignment is
hereby created, authorized, and directed to research, review, and

The committee shall consider prior proposals to attain these
ends, including, but not limited to, the proposal entitled "Making
Government Make Sense," published in February 1933, !2y the Office
of the Legislative Analyst.
The committee shall review all services provided the
state and local agencies, especially those in which program and
funding responsibilities are currently shared, to determine which
level of government should most appropriately exercise predominant
program control.
() Upon reviewing these services, the committee shall recommend
a rational realignment of program and fiscal responsibilities to
achieve improved program performance, up blic accountability, and
political responsiveness. The recommendations shall provide for a
phase-in period, and shall include specific recommendations for
statutory and constitutional changes.
e) The committee shall be guided !Rythe following principles:
(1Z The state government and local agencies should have different
responsibilities, powers, and resources so that they may operate as
independently of each other as is practically possible.
The fiscal relationship between the state and local agencies
should be harmonized through the use of fiscal incentives to
promote and coordinate economic development and to encourage
preventative strategies in the approach to statewide issues.
Local agencies should have sufficient resources under their
control to adequately address their assigned responsibilities, and
the authority to adjust resource levels in accordance with the
preference of local voters.
(4) Any state assistance provided to local agencies should be
- provided in a manner that reinforces the state's policy objectives,
instead of providing general subsidies for local agencies.
(5) In order to promote the achievement of program outcomes,
government at all levels must be accountable to the public. This
accountability can only be achieved by requiring that the entity of
government that makes decisions about the level of service be the
same entity that funds those levels of service and raises the
funds to pay for them.
(6Z The use of mandates to achieve state objectives should be
limited to the greatest extent possible.
ja The state should try to anticipate the unintended.
consequences of changing fiscal and programmatic relationships,
including, but not limited to, the effects on:
(AZ Governmental fiscal capacity.
(B) Federal financial participation.
Land use decisions made by local governments. .
Economic development efforts.
