A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN RAFAEL SUPPORTING A RETURN TO A PART-
TIME STATE LEGISLATURE
WHEREAS, the City Council of San Rafael has been informed that
Senator H. L. Richardson plans to introduce legislation to return the
State Legislature back to a part-time basis due to the inefficiency
and excessive cost of a full-time Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the San Rafael City Council has expressed its concern
on many occasions that the full-time Legislature has introduced an
excessive number of legislative bills each year causing cities
additional expenses simply to keep track of the legislation; and
WHEREAS, many of the laws passed by the Legislature have caused
additional cost to cities and the Legislature has gone to extremes
to circumvent legislation they passed which requires the state to
reimburse cities for these additional costs, thereby indicating
a total disregard for city, county and special district agencies
budgetary constraints after Propositon 13; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of San Rafael believes that the
part-time Legislature prior to 1966 was more responsive to local
governments` concerns than the full-time Legislature:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the San Rafael City Council
that it wholeheartedly supports the proposal of Senator H. L.
Richardson to return the State Legislature to a part-time basis.
I, JEANNE M. LEONCINI, Clerk of the City of San Rafael, hereby
certify that the foregoing resolution was duly and regularly intro-
duced and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of
said City held on Monday the nineteenth day of April
19 82 , by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Jensen, Miskimen & Mayor Mulryan
