Special NACO Assessment for General Revenue rt
SUBJECT: Sharing Funding Lobbying Effort
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Determine whether or not to support the requested special NACO
assessment for a General Revenue Sharing funding lobbying effort.
If supported, authorize the Auditor-Controller .to pay the sum of
$4,905 to NACO for this purpose.
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 1985, the Board of Supervisors agreed to adopt a
position in favor of NACO' s proposed program to create a fund to
allow NACO to lobby for reauthorization of General Revenue
Sharing for the period beginning October 1, 1986. The Board was
not asked at that time to approve actual financial support for
the campaign.
The Board has now received a request that they approve a "special
assessment" of $4905 as this County' s share of the campaign for
General Revenue Sharing. This is intended to approximate 1/10 of
1% of the County' s annual allocation of General Revenue Sharing
funds.
While it may not be reasonable to expect that Congress will
reauthorize General Revenue Sharing itself, the formation of a
campaign fund by NACO can provide a vehicle for reminding
Congress of the extensive cuts that have already been absorbed by
State and local governments over the past five or so years, and
the need for some relief in further cuts which end up being
targeted at local government.
The Board should determine as a matter of policy whether to
support this request.
