RESOLUTION OF THE BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
RECOMMENDING A COMMISSION ON STATE/COUNTY RELATIONS
WHEREAS, the counties as political subdivisions of the State of
California provide many services including administration of health and
welfare programs, criminal justice functions, road construction and
maintenance, agricultural and environmental health inspection, police, fire
and libraries; and
WHEREAS, the general purpose revenue of counties is increasingly
diverted to pay for welfare and criminal justice costs; and
WHEREAS, the general purpose revenue available to finance local
option programs such as police, fire and libraries is decreasing because
of mandated expenditures.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Butte County Board of
Supervisors does hereby support the restructuring of financial relationships
between the state and counties as a long-term solution of the county financial
crisis.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that to accomplish this task this Board
recommends the creation of a commission on state/county relations which
would:
Generate meaningful data about the problems at this important
level of local government.
Be a prime source of advice and information on the part counties
play in the government of California.
Develop trend analysis that would help in program development
and forecasting.
Enhance public awareness and education about the role played
by counties in the American governmental system.
Be a forum over the next year for the development of proposals
to the Legislature for long-term structural reform of
state-county financial relationships.

THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED:
IN RE: RESTRUCTURING OF FINANCIAL AND PROGRAM MANDATE RELATIONSHIPS
BETWEEN THE STATE ANE} COUNTIES
WHEREAS, California counties provide many services including road
maintenance, administration of health and welfare programs, agricultural and
environmental health inspection and crimina] justice functions; and
WHEREAS, because counties are an arm of the State of California, many of
these county services are mandated by State law, yet a significant portion of the
-Funding must come from locally generated discretionary revenues; and
WHEREAS, because of increasing welfare caseloads, escalating criminal
justice costs, and relatively static Tocal revenue sources, counties have been
implementing significant efficiency measures during the last four years to control
costs; and
WHEREAS, many counties, including Stanislaus County, have been forced to
cut back or eliminate programs which are not mandated such as veterans and
consumer services, libraries, county parks, and services to the aging and
medically indigent; and
WHEREAS, these cutbacks have affected the lives of many county
residents, including those most needy of services; and
WHEREAS, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors does hereby inform
the State Legislature of its desire to provide basic and necessary services to the
people of Stanislaus County in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible,
