ClTIES
WHEREAS, in 2011, one of the steps the Legislature took to close the state's
massive budget gap was to pass Senate Bill 89 which eliminated Vehicle License Fee
(VLF) revenue allocated to newly incorporated cities and annexed areas; and
WHEREAS, as a result, four newly incorporated cities in Riverside County -Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Menifee and Wildomar - lost critical funding; and
WHEREAS, these cities are now facing the possibility of disincorporation,
potentially forcing Riverside County to provide essentia! services to residents which the
County has not budgeted for; and
WHEREAS, while ongoing funding is critical to stabilize new cities and
annexations, VLF revenue is no longer available as a funding source for cities due to the
passage of Proposition 30 (2012); and
WHEREAS, SB 817 (Roth) will provide funding for newly incorporated cities and
cities which annexed inhabited areas that lost funding as a result of SB 89 (2011); and
WHEREAS, SB 817 (Roth) reinstates allocations to recently incorporated cities
consistent with the allocation formula newly incorporated cities and communities relied
upon when making the decision to incorporate the affected territory; and
WHEREAS, AB 2277 (Melendez) wil! provide funding for newly incorporated cities
and cities which annexed inhabited areas that lost funding as a result of SB 89 (201 1);
and
WHEREAS, AB 2277 (Melendez) does not provide new money for cities, but it
does restore funds that existed for new cities and annexations prior to 2004.
NOW THEREFORE, BE lT RESOLVED, by the City Council of Menifee, California,
that the City of Menifee City Council supports SB 817 and AB 2277.
