A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
OPPOSING S.B. 1874 , WHICH WOULD REPEAL PROVISIONS OF
THE MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION ACT OF 1977 PROVIDING SPECIAL
PROCEDURES FOR ANNEXING ISLANDS OF UNINCORPORATED AREA
WHERE THE CITY PROVIDES SERVICES BUT HAS NO JURISDICTION .
WHEREAS , the State Legislature last year enacted A.B .
1533 , the Municipal Organization Act of 1977 , which provided
a special procedure for annexing islands of unincorporated area
surrounded or substantially surrounded by a city , so as to give
the inhabitants of such islands and the surrounding city taxpayers
a more equitable relationship, and
WHEREAS , S . B. 1874 , which has just been approved by the
Senate Committee on Local Government, would repeal the provisions
of the Municipal Organization Act of 1977 , and
WHEREAS, if the special annexation procedures provided
by the Municipal Organization Act of 1977 are repealed, cities
will have no means of seeking fair and equitable cost-sharing by
the residents of the unincorporated island areas who are benefit-
ting from city services , and
WHEREAS , Redding presently has ten such islands within
its boundaries where the City must provide sewer service but has
no jurisdiction and collects no taxes , and where fair and equitable
cost sharing could be accomplished by annexation without an
election within three years , unless this option is eliminated by
the enactment of S .B. 1874 ,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Redding finds it in the best interests of the City
and its citizens that the Municipal Organization Act of 1977 remain
law, and the City Council vigorously opposes the enactment of
S.B. 1874 .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is directed
to send copies of this Resolution to Senator Ray Johnson , and to
Assemblyman Stan Statham, and to the members of the Assembly
Committee on Local Government.
