AN ORDINANCE TO PREVENT STATE CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY TAXES
COLLECTED IN BUTTE COUNTY AND TO PROVIDE FOR PROPER
APPORTIONMENT AND D~SBURSEMENT THEREOF
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Butte ordains as follows;
Secti~n 1. Find~n s and Intent.
The Board of Supervisors makes the fallowing findings and declarations

a. As an essential ele~ent of the local agency home rule guaranteed
by the California Constitution, property taxes collected in a
caunty have always been intended for use in that county.
b. Proposition 13, as adopted in June o~ 1978 and amended
thereafter, al~ows the Legislature to specify how the property
taxes collected ~.n a county are to be apportioned among the
county and the c~.ties and districts therein, but did not
contemplate that prope~ty taxes would be taken for State
purposes o~ would be appartianed in a manner inconsistent with
the home rule pravisions of the Constitution of Cali~ornia.
c. Proposition 98, as adapted in November of 1988 and amended by
Propositian 111 in June of 1990, provides that a county's
portion of school funding is the amount of property taxes
provided to the schools in the county for fiscal 1987-88,
adjusted annually for cost of living increases. Pursuant to
Proposition 98, the State's Portian of school fund~ng is the
amount that, when added to the counties~ portion, will bring
total schoo7. funding up to the level specif ied in the
1 Proposition.
2 d. Article XVI, Section 16 of the Ca~ifornia Constitution and
3 legislation promulgated thereunder provides far the lavying and
4 allocation ~f taxes an praperty within redevelopment projects,
5 and the County of Butte has entered into binding agreements with
6 redevelopment agencies pertaining thereto. Said provisions and
7 agreements do not contemplate that such property taxes would be
8 taken for state purposes or apportioned in a manner inconsistent
9 therewith.
10 e. The Legislature of Ca~ifornia has expressed its intent to take
~1 approximately $2,~oa,ooa,oao af the property taxes collected in
~2 California counties in fiscal ~993-94 and use those funds to pay
13 a substantial part of the State's Portion o~ schooZ funding or
14 to pay other State expenses, in clear violatian of the letter
15 and intent of Propositifln 98 and of Articles XIIXA and X~IIB of
~~ the California CQnstitution.
17 f. For fiscal 1992-93, available revenues have fallen ~ar short af
1g the expenditures necessary to meet the crit~cal fiscal needs af
19 Butte County, ~equiring that essential Caunty services be cut
20 substantiaily.
~~. g. I~ the gap between available revenues and necessary expe~ditures
22 increases to any signi~icant extent ~or fiscal 1993-94, the
23 County wi11 not be alale to fund State ~nandates and provide far
2~ the essent~.al health, safety and genera7. welfare of its citizens
25 that is requisit~ to meaningful home rule.
2b h. If the Legislature acts upon its expressed intent to take
27 approximately $2,600,004,000 of tha property taxes col~ected in
Zg California caunties in fiscal 1993-94 and use those funds to pay
1 other State expenses, this County would lose a very significant
2 part af th~ funding now used to pr~~ide critical County
3 services, would be prevented from providing £or the essential
4 health, safety and gene~al welfare of its citizens, and would be
5 deprived of ineaningful home ruie in contravention of the
6 Constitution o~ Califarnia.
7 i. Butte County hereby finds that the aforesaid int~nded State
8 action would constitute an illegal con~iscation of the property
9 taxes of this Caunty, in that such act~an would prevent the
10 County from providing for the essential health, safety and
ii genera~ welfare of its citizens, would prevent the m~aningful
12 home rule guaranteed by the Canstitution of California, would
13 violate the schools funding scheme of Propositian, 98 by
14 requ~ring this County to pay a substantial part ot the State
15 Portion of school ~unding, would vialate Section 6 of Article
16 XIIIB o~ the State Canstitution by mandating increased local
~7 agency funding of schoals without state reimb~rsement, and would
18 be in excess of the p~wer given ta the Legislature in Section
19 ~(a} nf Article XITIA of the State Constitution lawtully to
2p apportion property taxes among the caunty and cities and
21 districts therein.
22 j. Butte County, therefore, determines that it ~s necessary to take
23 action t~ prevent the intended State confiscat~on of the
2~ property taxes to be collected in this County for fiscal 1993-94
25 and to insura the p~eservation af the Constitutionally
26 guaranteed powers of hame rule, including the power ta provide
27 for the essential health, safety and qeneral welfare of the
28 cit~zens of the County. This O~dinance, there~ore, provides fo~
1 the lawful apportionment amang the county and cities~
2 redevel~pment agencies and districts therein of the property
3 taxes c~llected in this Gounty in f iscal ~993-94.
4 Section 2. A o~tianment.
5 Notwithstanding any pravisian af State law to the contrary, th~
6 apportionment of property taxes among the county, the cities, redevelopment
7 agencies, school districts (ina~uding Butte Community College District) and
8 other districts therein sha11 be in the manner such appartionment was made
9 for fiscal 1992-93 pursuant to Chapter 6 af Part 0.5 of D~vision 1 of the
10 Ravenue and Taxatian Code o£ Califarnia and A~t~cle XVZ, Section 16 of the
11 California Censtitution, Legislation promulqated thereunder, and agreements
12 entered into pu~suant thereto.
13 Sectio~ 3: Collection and Disbursement.
14 The Treasurer-Tax Collector and Auditor shall collect, apportion and
~5 disburse property taxes for fiscal Z993-94 in accordance with Section 2
16 un~ess the Board of Supervisors of Butte County, by e~ergency dec~aration
17 adopted pursuant to four-fifths vote, specifies an alternative
18 appartionment.
19 Section 4: Circumstances Ynvokinq Operation of This Drdinance.
20 Zn accordance with the ~indings and intent o~ Sectian ~, this
21 ord~nance will became operative, and property taxes shall be col~ected,
22 apportioned and disbursed in accardance herewith, in the event the State
23 enacts Legislatian that would result in the a~oresaid confiscatian of
24 property taxes collected in Butte County in fiscal 1993-94.
25 Sectian 5. Effective Date and Pub~ication. This Ordinance shall be and
26 it is hereby declared t~ be in ~ull force and effect from and after thir~y
