TO: Mayors and City Managers
FROM: President Bob Bartlett, Mayor of Monrovia
SUBJECT: 1994 State Budget BattIe/League Dues Increase
Last year was one of the most critical legislative battles cities have ever faced. I'm proud of the
effort by nearly every city and our League to fight the State's attempt to balance its budget on
the backs of cities. Faced with a $1.3 billion takeaway at the beginning of the year, we didn't
win outright, but we certainly staved off a ferocious effort to gut city revenues.
We accomplished a great feat working together--along with the League staff--to present a
unified message to not only the Governor and Legislature, but also the news media, the
business community, and the users of city services. This was accomplished by the work of
elected officials and city staff, as well as by the coordination and assistance provided by the
League. The work of nearly every League staffer was redirected to the Grass Roots State
Budget Battle.
This year, we are expecting as big a battle as last year--or,bigger. We are in the planning stages
right now to begin fighting for even bigger stakes. As the perceived winners from last year,
cities must unite again as never before to fight proposals to take more property tax dollars and
even our sales tax income.
To ensure we have at least the same level of resources behind the effort, the League's Board of
Directors at their meeting during the Amiual Conference approved a 3 percent dues increase..
To a city with a population from 30,000 to 40,000, this will mean an increase of just $146.
There was no dues increase .last year :and a CPI increase 'the year before.'; The major elements
of the coming year's budget are:
. Continue to be at the forefront of State. Budget lobbying.
. Use reserves to meet State Budget-related research and media outreach needs.
. Fund the development of a strategic plan based on feedba~k from you, the members
and customers of the League.
The regional League divisions have an opportunity to ratify the proposed 3% dues increase.
Ratification by a majority of the divisions representing a majority of member cities constitutes
approval of the dues increase. Divisions not responding by January 20 shall be considered as
having ratified the dues increase. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any comments
about this proposal, or you may reach Don Benninghoven or Dan Harrison on the League staff
with questions.
Thank you for your continued support of the League and efforts to maintain the ability of cities
to meet the basic needs of Californians. Good luck in the coming year! over. . .
