Your Committee has reviewed the League of California Cities'/County Supervisors Association of California's proposals for property tax relief. Those � proposals include a program of local government "revenue sharing" under which State surplus funds would be subvented to local governmental entities. No tax increase would be re- quired in connection therewith. The plan would include the requirement that the Legislature would be subject to a com- parable State revenue lim�t and that State surplus revenues would be redirected into a reserve fund, and that a ma�or portion of that surplus would be subvented as local govern- ment revenue sharing and for additional property tax relief. The program would be permanent, w�th an emphasis on general fund and urban housing purposes. "The proposal also includes reasonable but effective property tax l�mits wh�ch, if in con�unction with State revenue sharing, would make a meaningful shift away from local governments' dependence on the property tax. Revenue limits would be ad�usted by the inflationary growth of costs for existing services Moreover, a base or in�tial year of 1976-77 or 1977-78 would be chosen partially to offset the cyclical effects of recent Federal fund allocations to local entities "Finally, the proposals include the requirement that some $5,000,000 would be transferred to the S.B. 90 Board of Control . ' as an advanced appropriation to reduce the time for payment of reimbursements to local entities under bills requiring S.6.90 payments. "Your Corrmnttee recommends approval of the joint League/ CSAC property tax proposal.") � i • -7- � Reg.Mtg. ' ' 1/23/78 ' t
