A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BALDWIN PARK ENDORSING STATE WIDE
APPORTIONMENT OF SALES AND USE TAXES ON THE
BASIS OF POPULATION AND OPPOSING THE MANNER
OF DISTRIBUTION PRESCRIBED BY THE BRADLEY-
BURNS UNIFORM LOCAL SALES AND USE TAX LAN
WHEREAS, distribution of sales and use taxes collected, under the
Bradley-Bums Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law Is made according to the
location at which the sale or use occurred; and
WHEREAS, such distribution Is entirely disproportionate and unrelated
to the fiscal needs of the governmental agency receiving distribution; and
WHEREAS, the result of such distribution Is that the consumer against
whom such tax Is levied does not receive the benefit of such tax, but the
residents of municipalities which strive to provide a balanced community con-
sisting of both commercial and residential uses are compelled to pay taxes
which accrue to the benefit of municipalities which restrict, or In some cases
altogether eliminate residential development In favor of commercial develop-
ments Example: The City of Vernon. California, with 229 residents, receives
tax revenue of $3,214,177); and
WHEREAS, those municipalities which provide a balanced community for
their residents and merchants necessarily Incur proportionately higher expenses
for police, fire, and other municipal services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park deplores the
current taxation of the many for the benefit of a few.
NOW. THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of
Baldwin Park that it endorses the concept of apportionment of sales and use
taxes among municipalities on the basis of the population residing within each
municipality and advocates the repeal or amendment of the provisions of the
Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law insofar as it establishes the
Inequitable distribution on the basis of the location of sales or use.
RESOLVED. FURTHER, that the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park
urges that the City Council of each California city express Its opposition to
the current manner of distribution of sales and use taxes by the adoption of a
resolution which expresses their position and urges the Immediate enaction of
legislation to correct the Inequity described above*
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 1st day Of September 1971.
