After. extensive discus.sion and study of the County 5upervisors
Associat'ion's propo�sal concerning a 4% state-wide_ s.ales .tax, _the,. ._.__ _
City Council of the City of San Fernando has adopted the attached _ _ :.
resolution vigorously opposing such �lan. _ , _ _ _� ;
_ � .
_ � _. __ , - _ _ _ �.
This r`esolution which was adopted by the Council.at its, regular .. _. . �
meeting held on August 18, 1952 is being sent_to.all incorporated � �
` cities iri Cal.ifornia, to Governor Earl Warren, legislative represent- -
, �.
atives in Sacrame.nto and to the League of Calif, Cities.
� - _ _ .
We ask that this resolution be read in your City Council meeting, be � -
made a part of your official records and that y.our C,oun�il .consider
similar action if you believe it to be in the best interest of;xriunicipal _
government in California.

Copy of Resolution.2312 _ - ; �. _�
�The,Gity Gouncil of the City of San Fernando does resolve_as follows: .. - = --
. � � -
WFiER.EAS, there�has been presentedifor conside�ation,a proposal of . � - . _
th�County Supervisors Association, supported by:the Calif�, Retail
Merchants Association, to provide f.or a 4°jo State Sales Tax with 3%
to go to the State, 3_/4 of 1% of the amount collected within the incor-
_ .. . . - � - - .
porated cities to the cities, 1/.4�.0� 1%. collected within, the cities to the '- -
� co:unties and 1% collected within the unincorporated areas to.the counties; -
and
_ �
WHEREAS, it is contended that such a sales tax plan would bring-desirable
uniformity to sales tax collection methods and pxocedur.es as-well as pro-
vide revenues to _County.government;�,and :,.
WHER.EAS, presently the unincorporated areas of many counti�s-have both
a prope_rty and sales tax advantage over, the cities within:said counties, -
NOW, THEREFORE, �BE IT ,RE50LVED that the City:,of San<Fernando
actively opposes this proposal :of the County Supervisors.Association for �
the following reasons: _ , _ _ __ , - ,. : _ _ . --
-��
� �'�-�e�'�� .
- 1. This� prop,osal would.irri�o:se an in�rease of over $60, 000. 00. per
year in sales tax.:witHin:the. City of San Fernando, 1/2 of which would
go to county government to b�e spent primarily in the unineorporated
areas. .
2. Tl;is proposal would deprive eities of hard-won local autonomy. over �
a strictl.y lo¢al revenue source.
3. This proposal .would.constitute an invasion of heretofore exclusive state �
,and municipal taxing areas and .could lead to any number of additional
.county taxes on business operations within cities. This pr.oposal is,_in
effect forcing a local sales tax upon the cities which,do_.not have, nor may
not desire to_ have, a sales tax.
4. This proposal would accentuate rather than reduce the.pr.oblem of
financing urban.communities in unincorporated areas' to the further dis-
advantage of the cities.
5. This proposal would place additional city funds and taxing power at
county disposal, whereas we believe that as the population of a,county grows, .
local self-government as repre.sented by municipalities should expand and'
increase, while remote, non=municipal government as represented by
countie`s should be held in check. � �- � � �. L11= :
BE .IT FURTHER. R.ES.O:LVED, than any desired or essential uniforrnity in
sales tax methods and'procedures can best be accomplished by voluntary --
action� between citi�'es; and . '
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVE-D., that the City of San Fernando would interpose
no objection to eithe-r a special countyproperty tax or a county sales tax in
unincorporated ar,eas only for the purpose of raising any additional funds:
they may need; and '
BE IT FLTRTHER: RESO.LVED, that this city vigorously opposes the.afore- .
mentioned proposal of the County Supervisors Association,` and the City
Clerk be and he is hereby .instructed to send a copy of this resolut'i'ori; to
other incorporated cities of the State, the Honorable E:arl Warren, Go,vernor�_ .
' � of the State of California; members of the State Senate and Ass:emb].y arid to
the�League of�Calif. Cities.

BEAUTIFICATION DIVIDING LANE SO. MAR.KET STREET
The following communication was presented;
Redding, Calif.
August 19, 1952
Honorable Maylor�and Councilmen:
' We of South Redding want to compliment the City Council on the very
nice lawn and flowers that have been put in the diyiding lane between
Hill Street and Highway.44 on South Market Str,eet. ,
If we can be of assistance in promoting the extension of this program
by furnishing flowers or plants for the islands to the south_we would
like to-have you call upon us.
If this projc�et could be completed we think that a name such as "Garden
Lane18 would be�a�ppropriate for the South entrance to Redding, and would
be used in our advertising thereby promoting the idea of beautifying our
City.
We are also very interested in adequate street lighting .and traffic con-
trol in this area as we are of the opinion that there are dangerous
conditions exis.ting that should have your attention.
We hope that these suggestions will meet with your approval and will
receive your early consideration.
