Approve warrants dated through August 23, 2004 and usual and necessary <br />payments through September 13, 2004; (301) MINUTE ORDER 04 -162 <br />7. STAFF REPORTS <br />A. Resolution supporting Proposition 1A, "Protection of Local Government <br />Revenues," a ballot initiative on the November 2, 2004 statewide ballot to restrict <br />the State legislature's ability to take local government funding. (214) <br />Mayor Ira explained that Proposition 1A was a compromise that was designed <br />between the League of California Cities and Governor Schwarzenegger that <br />agrees to endure two more years of painful revenue losses, where $1.3 billion in <br />local funds are diverted to the state in each of those years. In return, a <br />constitutional guarantee would be in place that this will not occur again. He urged <br />support by the community of Proposition 1A and voting no on Proposition 65 <br />which had already been placed on the ballot prior to this compromise. This does <br />not increase taxes or take away any funding. <br />Council Members urged support of Proposition 1A. <br />CITY COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY <br />JOINT MEETING MINUTES <br />AUGUST 23, 2004 <br />PAGE 4 <br />MINUTES Book No. 60 <br />Page No. 302 <br />
