RESOLUTION NO. 6447
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA, STRONGLY URGING THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO REDUCE THE
DISTRICT RATES OF TAXES THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES
COUNTY.
WHEREAS, a major portion of real and personal property
within Los Angeles County has been reassessed for the fiscal
year 1976-1977 by the Los Angeles County Assessor's office;
and
WHEREAS, it'has been determined that said reassessment
has resulted in an average increase of approximately 14% in
said assessment roll over the 1975-1976basis; and
WHEREAS, said reassessment will provide to the various
districts within the Los Angeles County and to the County of
Los Angeles General Fund many millions of dollars of additional
tax revenue; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined by way of the Long Beach
Los Angeles Consumer Price Index that there has been an increase
of only 6.57% in the cost of living for said period; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the County of Los Angeles
Board of Supervisors will within the next thirty (30) days
set tax rates for the various Los Angeles County Taxing
Districts and will also set the tax rate for the General Fund
of the County of Los Angeles; and
WHEREAS, it now appears that the County of Los Angeles
has the immediate ability and the financial opportunity to
pass on to the various municipalities and to the taxpayers
within said municipalities of Los Angeles County at least a
portion of the financial benefits derived from the increased
assessments;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Los Angeles County Board of Super-
visors is hereby requested and strongly urged to effect an immediate
and substantial reduction in the tax rate of all Los Angeles County
Taxing Districts and of the General Fund of the County of Los
Angeles.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be
forwarded to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

City in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed
