RESOLUTION NO. 1165
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ELSINORE SUPPORTING THE ENACTMENT OF A.B.1218,
PERTAINING TO THE PURCHASE OF REVENUE PRODUCING
FACILITIES BY LOCAL AGENCIES.
WHEREAS, there has been introduced in the current session of the State
Legislature A.B. 1218, which proposes to add Article 8 to Chapter 5, Part I,
Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, and such Article would provide a
means for any City or County or other public corporation to acquire a revenue
producing facility by means of a contract of purchase under which the purchase
price, together with interest thereon, could be payable over a period of years,
solely from the income and revenue of the facilities so acquired, and would
further provIde that the local agency could pledge as security for the payment
of the contract price all or any part of the income and revenues of the facilities
acquired, and
WHEREAS, local agencies and particularly cities in this State which own and
operate public power utilities, when annexing areas already served by private
power companies, under existing law are presented with a financial problem because
there is no legal means by which they can provide for the purchase of the existing
facilities over a period of years and must therefore pay cash for such acquisition;
the proposed bill, if enacted, will provide a solution to this problem.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Elsinore that
the State Legislature be requested to enact A.B. 1218 as a much needed benefit for
local agencies.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Elsinore urges the League of California
Cities and local agencies throughout the State of California to do all they can to
encourage both Houses of the State Legislature to pass A.B. 1218.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was introduced and read at a
regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Elsinore on the ~day of
April, 1965, and was duly adopted at said meeting.
Approved:
Thomas C. Bartlett, Mayor
