Special Districts with unmet needs. It is unknown what will happen to special
districts in the next few months,
The Association will have to deal with all the problems relating to "I
Proposition 13. He feels that the Association will have to provide more services to the
Counties to handle the problems created by Prop. 13.

and get legislation to make the Board's job easier and to eliminate some of the red
tape .

back but they are finding that the services to be provided are greater. Mr. Watson

tax rolls. It is felt that they will run into resistance in getting the schools off the
property tax rolls entirely.
Mr. Watson explained how funding would be handled. Binding arbitration
bill failed; other measures to be looked at set out by Mr. Wilson. 1-fe explained the
bills that they are working on to stop that would cost the Counties more money. CSAC

taken about not remaining a member of the Association.
