A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO STOP SUBSIDIZING
CITIES CONTRACTING FOR COUNTY ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
SERVICES.
WHEREAS, The Los Angeles County Grand Jury Audit Committee
has reported that the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care
and Control's contract service programs resulted in a County general
fund subsidy to 32 contract cities in excess of $1,500,000 in fiscal
1979-80; and
WHEREAS, the Grand Jury reports that said subsidies are
continuing and that each and every contract city receives a portion
of said subsidy; and
WHEREAS, said subsidies constitute a gift of public funds
in violation of Article XVI, Section 6 of the California Constitution;
and
WHEREAS, said subsidies constitute a tax on the citizens of
this city for the direct benefit of the citizens of other incorporated
cities; and
WHEREAS, this City pays for its own animal care and control
services and does not benefit from services provided by the County
of Los Angeles to said contract cities;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The Mayor notify the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Los Angeles of this City's objection to said subsidies.
2. The Mayor instruct the City Attorney to advise this
Council of alternative courses of action if the Board of Supervisors
fails to terminate said subsidies forthwith.
3. That this City urge all cities in Los Angeles County
not contracting for County Animal Care and Control Services to
address the issue of contract city subsidies with like resolve.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 17th day of August, 1981.
