THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES

WHEREAS, the cost to the City of providing a high level
of quality in public safety contract services has historically
increased at a rate greater than the annual increase in the
Consumer Price Index; and
WHEREAS, the City has consistently found it difficult
to. fund essential road and street improvements with non - General
Fund revenues or other sources, making it necessary to allocate
General Fund revenue for those purposes; and
WHEREAS, a severe shortage of revenue has made it
necessary for the City Council to curtail or eliminate a number
of General Fund services; and
WHEREAS, changes in the economy, the limited portion of
property tax received by the City and continuing cuts in funding
from the State government have made it necessary for the City
Council to raise fees and to impose additional taxes such as a
golf tax and a utility users tax; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the concern of the
taxpayers of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, expressed in
numerous public meetings, that General Fund revenues be
allocated, to the extent permitted by law, to public safety
programs, road and street maintenance and construction, and
needed capital projects;
