RESOLUTION NO. 75-69
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY
RE: DISTRIBUTION OF URBAN SERVICE AND SALES TAX.
WHEREAS, Recent discussions held between the Inter-City Council,
City Managers' group, various cities, and the Board of Supervisors
have brought about a questioning of the equity of the sales tax
sharing agreement between the 15 cities and the County; and
WHEREAS, As a result of these discussions, certain questions
have been raised relative to the equity of distribution among the
cities of services delivered by the County; and
WHEREAS, All elected officials in the cities and the County
desire to provide the best and highest level of services to their
respective constituencies; and
I"
WHEREAS, The abrogation of the sales tax sharing agreement now
in effect in Santa Clara County could have the immediate and negative
effect of interrupting and causing a disarray of services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the cities of Santa Clara
County hereby agree that no city in the County will take unilateral
action, or act in concert with others, to cause the abrogation of the
sales tax sharing agreement before the start of Fiscal Year 1977-78;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the cities and the County jointly
recognize that the key problem which is to be resolved is that of the
equalization of services throughout the County in terms of the needs
and funding sources of each community; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Inter-City Council directs the
initiation of a study to be conducted by a study committee to be
composed of:
