RESOLUTION NO. 93-105
RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT STATE PROPOSITION 172-ONE HALF PERCENT SALES
TAX BALLOT MEASURE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hercules supports a Yes vote on
Proposition 172-the one-half percent sales tax extension measure; and
WHEREAS, this measure will appear on the November 1993 ballot as directed
by the Governor and State Legislature as part of their 1993 budget package; and
WHEREAS, the retention of the half-cent sales tax is intended to.replace a
portion of the $2.6 billion which the State took from local property taxes in order to
fund the State's responsibility for public education; and
WHEREAS, the City of Hercules' share of the proceeds of this sales tax
extension should be approximately $72,000 per year; and
WHEREAS, although the City Council did not reduce direct police services in
the Fiscal Year 1993-94 budget, it also was unable to provide adequate resources to
address issues of a growing community such as youth diversion programs and/or
crime'prevention programs; and
WHEREAS, the State has aggravated this situation over the past several years
by authorizing Contra Costa County to charge the City of Hercules for Police
Department booking of prisoners and for the administration of the property tax
collection system, both authorizations costing the City $25,000 per year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of the City of
Hercules that if the half-cent sales tax ballot measure is successful, there is a
commitment to applying these revenues toward public safety programs in the City of
Hercules.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Hercules
urges the Hercules voters to become informed on this issue and to vote Yes on
November 2, 1993.
The foregoing Resoiution was duly and regularly adopted at a meeting held on
the 14th day of September by the City Council of the City of Hercules by the
following vote of the Council:
AYES: Bartke, Manuel, Tom, Tucker, Sample
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
