RESOLUTION 68-45 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF SANTA ANk EXPRESSING ITS OPPOSITION <br />TO ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 449 <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana has become <br />aware of the nature and effect of proposed Assembly Bill 449; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, it appears to this body that said bill contains <br />features which would, if placed into effect, operate to the detriment <br />of the City of Santa Ana and of other cities similarly situated; <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City of Santa Ana <br />is opposed to Assembly Bill 449 for the following reasons: <br /> <br /> 1. It would encroach upon the "home rule" doctrine and <br />reduce the ability of charter cities to provide for needed <br />revenue. <br /> <br /> 2. It is discriminatory in that it is designed to apply <br />only to those carriers which are subject to the jurisdiction <br />of the Public Utilities Commission. Left to cities is the <br />ability to tax only those carriers based within it; while <br />others might be based peripherally, serve within the city, <br />and yet pay no tax. <br /> <br /> 3. The city would lose not an inconsiderable amount <br />of revenue. <br /> <br /> 4. Such a bill as Assembly Bill 449 could act as an <br />erosion of municipal business license tax provisions, again <br />to the detriment of the City of Santa Ana. <br /> <br /> BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That copies of this resolution be <br />directed to our legislators with requests that our views be made <br />known to the Assembly and Senate. <br /> <br /> PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa <br />Ana ~t its regular meeting held on the let day of April, 1968. <br /> <br />CLERK OF THE COUNCIL <br /> <br />"- M~YOR <br /> <br />STATE OF CALIFORNIA) <br />COUNTY OF ORANGE ) <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA ) <br /> <br />SS <br /> <br /> I, DORIS M.
