130 Councilman Henderson noted that in addition to the Budget , there was an Executive Committee Resolution with regard to regional home rule which also had been furnished to Council , and she urged Council ' s support of both the Budget and the Resolution . Councilman Henderson moved that Council approve the ABAG Budget and the Resolution , seconded by Councilman Williams . Councilman Weymouth noted that the City ' s current dues have increased by $79 . 00 . Councilman Henderson explained that according to ABAG By-Laws the dues are based on the population figure which the State uses for gas tax allocation , and amounts to about three and one -third cents per capita . The new population figures will be reflected in next year ' s budget . Mayor Bury inquired concerning action being pursued by ABAG relative to attempts to recover the money in the Truax case , and if any further obliga- tions are presently accruing to ABAG . Councilman Henderson stated that she is not familiar with the current status , but understands that no further assessments or levies are required . Mayor Bury inquired if all representation positions from the cities and county are filled , and if there is an adequate number of representatives and alternates . Councilman Henderson advised that all general membership positions are filled in the County . The Board of Supervisors recently named alternates for two appointees to the Executive Committee . In June they will have only one member and cities will have two members . Councilman Petersen stated that he could not support the home rule Resolution , stating that it still has a long way to go to come up to the proposal pre - sented two or three years ago . He felt the Resolution is quite general yet indicates taking over of certain regulatory powers by a regional government without specifying what those powers will be and what the regulatory functions of that region ' s government will be . He stated he understood the need for certain problems to be handled on a regional basis , but felt the Resolution is an open-ended resolution which does not give the City the local control he felt was necessary . After further discussion of the Resolution and the Budget , Councilman Petersen requested a separate vote on each . Motion to approve the ABAG budget carried on roll call vote , Councilmen Keckley and Rhodes being noted absent . (MINUTE ORDER #71-26)
