OROVILLE, CALIFORF}IP,
"I.'hank. you #or yaur recent letter regarding Assembly Bill 741 (I3rown} which would change the
T ~~.Y f,clulty Allocation formula.
I have spaken to the author's office regarding the bill. The staff has assured me that they
understand the issues this legislation poses to county governments and are looking at significant
amendments to the bill or alternatives to legislation.
Originally, this bill was meant to address what was believed to be disproportionately low
property tax allocation to the City of Fontana in the author's district and was not intended to
ha~.%; '.ria:` .s- .~t~. ~~,r'Ly`r+` z°rl`~:;~` tii;ii. it ~`rtiiil;. ii"'i~.:iFkb~s' Er"i~~'.`~.
Addressing local problems with statewide legislation is something I generally do not support.
I~owever, I do applaud the author in her willingness to step back and reconsider her approach to
the issue.
AB 741 is a two-year bill which is still in the original committee {Assembly Committee on Local
Government} pending amendments. Should it be amended and passed through committee, it
would still need a two thirds vote from both houses before heading to the Governor's desk.
l da agree that simply "robbing Peter to pay Paul" with regard to cities and counties is a poor
way to conduct the state's business and am apposed to this bill as written.

If you are interested in tracking this or any other legislation, you can access the bill text, status,
analyses and vote records from my Senate homepage at www.sen.ca.gor~/Nielsen.
Again, I appreciate you writing and for your opinion on this matter
Sincerely,
