MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: John Dunn
i
Subject: Policy re olutions to be considered by the League of California
Cities
Recommendation
That City Councilmembers give any comments or guidance regarding any of
the proposed resolutions to the designated City representative.
Discussion
Each year at this time we receive a number of proposed resolutions from
the League which, for the most part, have been sent through the League's
various policy committees, and which will be sent to the Resolutions
Committee and thereafter to the voting delegates of the League.
While these resolutions deal with the subject matter and policy direction
which one or more policy committees believes is important, it is also
important to realize that the exact form of the resolutions may be
considerably changed as they receive further review by the Policy
Committees and the Resolutions Committee, and may be ultimately modified
by the voting membership itself. In this respect, the voting delegate
needs to be granted some flexibility to deal with the newly worded
resolutions.
The final product of this exercise is that the League will have a series
of membership approved resolutions which then become the policy framework
for their efforts during next year and, in particular, act as guidance and
instruction for the work programs of the various policy committees.
The City Attorney and I will be reviewing all the proposed policy
resolutions, and we will be getting our thoughts to the designated City
delegate. Essentially our review will be for consistency with the City's
presently adopted policies and what is generally viewed to be in the
long-term best interest of California cities and the City of San Luis
Obispo.
We appreciate you expressing your concerns and suggestions, to provide
guidance to Councilmember Settle, the City's designated delegate.

The Role of Annual Conference Resolutions
in League Policy Development
Guidelines for Resolutions
September 1988
Policy development is a vital and ongoing process within the League. The
principal means for deciding policy on the important issues facing cities and
the League is through the eight standing policy committees and the Board of
Directors. The process allows for timely consideration of issues in a
changing environment and assures broad access for city officials to both
initiate and influence policy decisions.
This influence may be exercised directly through participation as a policy
committee member or as a city official visiting a committee meeting to advance
a position on an issue under the committee's purview. If committee membership
or personal attendance is not feasible, city officials may affect policy
decisions indirectly through department or division representatives on the
policy committees or the Board of Directors.
Annual Conference resolutions constitute an additional process for developing
League policies. It is recommended that resolutions adhere to the following
criteria.
Guidelines for Annual Conference Resolutions
I. The issue addressed in the resolution has a direct relation to municipal
affairs.
2. The issue is not of a purely local or regional concern.
3. {Generally, the recommended policy should not restate existing League
policy.
4. The resolution should be directed at achieving one of the following
objectives:
(a) Focus public or media attention on an issue of major importance
to cities
(b) Establish a general direction for the League by setting forth
general principles around which more detailed policies may be
developed by the policy committee and Board of Directors
(c) Consider important issues not adequately addressed by the policy
committees and Board of Directors
(d) Amend the League Constitution and Bylaws.
OVER . . .
Suggested Format for Resolutions
There are few hard-and-fast rules governing the form of Annual Conference
Resolutions. The following suggestions may be kept in mind as guides:
1. "WHEREAS" clauses may be avoided entirely if the "RESOLVED" clause can
clearly state the desired action and its purpose. If explanatory matter
is absolutely necessary, it should be simply and clearly stated .in one to
three short "WHEREAS" clauses.
2. Unsubstantiated "WHEREAS" clauses should be avoided; briefly provide
authority or evidence for assertions made or delete the assertion.
3. The "RESOLVED" clause should be a complete sentence clearly stating the
desired action. Be clear and concise in describing', the action resolved.
RESOLVED, by. the General Assembly of the League of California Cities,
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that
the .League support (or sponsor, or oppose) legislation to authorize
cities to levy a local sales tax.
4. "RESOLVED" clauses should reflect standard terminology for League
legislative positions, i .e., support, sponsor, oppose.
S. Resolutions directing action an legislative matters .should not spell out
the precise language of the desired legislation. Circumstances can change
substantially between the time of the Conference and the Legislative
Session. A precise draft in the resolution may not address adequately the
changed circumstances that exist the following spring or summer.
Resolutions should describe the desired result in general terms as in the
example above.
6. "RESOLVED" clauses. addressing federal issues normally should direct the
League to request the National League of Cities to work to achieve the
desired objective, i.e., "Resolved... that the League urge NLC to. . ."
During the meeting in which committees make preliminary recommendations on
resolutions, each committee should perform the following functions thoroughly
or authorize the committee staff to perform them:
a. Make editorial corrections as necessary to clean up typographical and
other nonsubstantive errors or ambiguities.
b. Edit, streamline and delete "WHEREAS" clauses in the resolutions to as
great a degree as possible, consistent with clarity and understanding.
Short resolutions and a short resolutions packet will be more widely
read.

Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, voter registration by mail was instituted to reduce the cost

for the public; and

consequence of adding to the voter registration rolls individuals who do not
meet the proper citizenship requirements; and

Source: Los Angeles County Division
Referred to: Committee on Administrative Services
Preliminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, the absentee ballot process was originally designed to
assist individuals who could not vote in person duel to illness, physical
handicap, or absence from the community; and
WHEREAS, candidates for public office have begun to use the absentee
process as a campaign tool by encouraging voters to "vote by mail" rather than-
at the polls; and
WHEREAS, this strategy has unnecessarily increased the number of
absentee voter applications that must be personally verified by the city
clerk's office; and
WHEREAS, verification increases both the personnel and material costs
of the election, which ultimately must be borne by the municipal government;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled -in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18; 1988, that the League
sponsor legislation that will require voters to deal directly with the city
clerk's office to obtain absentee ballots without the intervention of a

Re erred to: Committee on Environmental quality
Preliminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, there is .a serious shortage of landfills in California and
strong public opposition and resistance to siting future landfills in close
proximity to population centers, there is therefore a need to optimize use of
our remaining disposal capacity; and,
WHEREAS, alternative strategies for solid waste such as
waste-to-waste, are facing similar public opposition and resistance; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities supports an integrated
approach to waste management, including waste reduction and recycling as
essential elements of this comprehensive strategy; and
WHEREAS, recycling is a viable waste management strategy that can
divert usable and marketable materials from unnecessary disposal , conserve
energy and natural resources, preserve open space and create employment
opportunities; and
WHEREAS, removal of certain recyclable elements from the waste stream
may lessen the public's concern and opposition to alternative waste management
technologies and landfills; and
WHEREAS, development of markets for recycled materials and products
and restrictions relating to packaging is properly in the purview of local ,
state and federal governments; and
WHEREAS, tax laws should be reviewed regularly to redress inequities
that favor virgin materials over recycled materials and products; and
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of local governments to manage
their waste in an economically and environmentally sound manner, mandated
waste management funding mechanisms and state and federal grants should
recognize the need for local autonomy and control ; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
support state legislation and urge the National League of Cities to support
federal legislation which promotes recycling, supports local efforts to
implement programs such as curbside collection, siting, and public
information, creates economic incentives for recycling and recycled products
through market development, procurement preferences, and tax policies, and
discourages excess and nonrecyclable packaging.

Preliminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD)
New Source Review Program requires that newly-constructed facilities obtain
emission reduction credit offsets from other sources as a condition of
obtaining a permit to construct; and
WHEREAS, local public wastewater treatment agencies are required by
law to operate and maintain facilities for the treatment of sewage, to
preserve and improve water quality for the protection and propagation of fish
and wildlife and to provide for recreation in and on the waters of the nation
and this State; and
WHEREAS, it is the nation's and State of California's policy that
publicly-owned wastewater treatment facilities of the best available and
practical design be constructed in order to eliminate the discharge of
pollutants into navigable waters and to ensure the highest level of protection
to the environment; and
WHEREAS, the New Source Review Program of SCAQMD relating to air
emissions places undue hardships on non-discriminatory construction of public
facilities for the treatment of sewage and is counterproductive to the legal
requirements and national and state goals of improved water quality; and
WHEREAS, the best overall improvement to our environment will be
achieved by cross media assessment practices, whereby a balanced and
coordinated evaluation, analysis and implementation of practices, procedures
and requirements relating to water, land and air are utilized; and
WHEREAS, for example, the County Sanitation Districts of Orange
County intend to construct Central Power Generation Systems which are
considered essential projects in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, the Central Power Generating Systems will provide sufficient
electrical power to run vital equipment through the efficient use of digester
gas produced at wastewater treatment plants and this energy source will reduce
the Districts' demand on other limited energy sources, reduce total emissions
to the air basin, and provide electrical reliability to ensure treatment needs
and outfall disposal pumping requirements at all times; and
WHEREAS, the Districts' proposed Central Power Generating Systems
will be designed and equipped with the Best Available Control Technology
(SACT) , which will use all digester gas produced in the wastewater treatment
process and will provide the benefits of a substantial net air emissions
reduction; and
WHEREAS, for example, the SCAQMD Emission Reduction Credit Program
would require the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County to obtain
credits from private sources at a cost of $3,050,080.00 to the ,County's
taxpayers for the construction of its Central Power Generating Systems without
giving full consideration to all reduction of emissions achieved by the
Districts through the projects; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the league of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
support legislation to exempt public works projects involving the
construction, modification or repair of wastewater treatment facilities from
the SCAQMD New Source Review Program requirements, provided such projects, are
essential to the public health, welfare and interest; now, therefore, be it
further
RESOLVED, that the League support a revision of the New Source Review
Regulation of the South Coast Air Quality Management District to give public
works projects such as wastewater treatment facilities first priority at no
cost on the use of the accumulated emissions reduction credits due to
shutdowns for the purpose of offsetting any increase in emissions due to the
construction and operation of such facilities, in recognition of the fact that
such facilities provide necessary and vital services to, their communities.

urban-type development in unincorporated territory adjacent to their
boundaries, due to the absence of sufficient controls and/or veto authority
related to such development; and
WHEREAS, such development can. place an additional financial strain
upon the adjacent city inasmuch as the residents of the development will use
services provided by the city without having to share the burden of paying for
such services; and
WHEREAS, state, regional , and local policies developed over a period
of years recognize that local municipalities are the most effective and
efficient providers of municipal-type services; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of this state are . best served if the
traditional municipal-type services are provided through the framework of
municipal government, thus negating the need to establish numerous
multi-layered, single-purpose districts, with their attendant costs; and
WHEREAS, action must be. taken to ensure the involvement of cities in
the planning process for approving urban-type development in unincorporated
territory adjacent to their boundaries, that, among : others, could include

Referred to: Committee on Housing, Community and Economic Development
Pre iminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, residential community care and drug/alcohol recovery homes
and facilities licensed by the Community Care Licensing process of the State
Department of Social Services and the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs which serve six (6) or fewer persons ensure provision of a normal
residential environment for groups such as the mentally disordered,
handicapped, developmentally disabled, elderly, dependent and neglected
children and for drug and alcohol recovery; and
WHEREAS, current state law prohibits local jurisdictions from
imposing stricter zoning, building and safety standards on these facilities
than those applied to other family dwellings in a residential zoning district;
and
WHEREAS, the current overconcentration, operation and administration
of these facilities can have, and are having, a serious negative impact on the
maintenance and enhancement of property values and the overall integrity of
residential neighborhoods in many cities; and
WHEREAS, current State code provisions pertaining to concentration of
residential community care facilities are inadequate to preserve the
residential character of established neighborhoods; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of C-alifornia Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988-y that the League
support legislation to restore .local land use authority over proposals for
community care and alcohol/drug recovery facilities to ensure the character
and integrity of residential neighborhoods are preserved by:
1.. Restoring authority to local jurisdictions to deny proposals for
residential community care or alcohol/drug recovery facilities if the
proposals do not comply with local ordinances which prescribe
reasonable standards, restrictions and requirements concerning
spacing, concentration, parking, traffic and noise controls. An
example of similar statutory provisions is contained in Section 1597
of the Health and Safety .Code as related to large family day care
centers; and
2. Requiring that no residential community care facility or alcohol/drug
recovery facility, serving six (6) or fewer persons, be located
within 1,000 feet from any similar facility. This provision is
intended to transcend any jurisdictional changes which would occur
within the 1,000 feet. The responsible agencies; e.g., Department of
Community Care Licensing and the Department of Drug and Alcohol
/IvJ3
Recovery Program, would not have the authority to waive this
separation requirement; and
3. Requiring the Department of Social Services and the Department of
Alcohol and Drug Programs to provide formal notification to one
another thereby ensuring adequate separation between similar
facilities licensed by separate agencies.
To eliminate the current complexities and duplications inherent in
having similar facilities licensed and monitored by different and
separate agencies, and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness
of its licensing system, the State should consider consolidation of
these functions by one agency; and
4. Requiring each responsible agency to notify local jurisdictions prior
to licensing a facility and provide a review period in which the
locality may determine compliance with local toning requirements and
compatibility with existing land uses; and .
5. Requiring each responsible agency to respond to complaints about the
subject facilities, in writing, within ten (10) days, forwarding a
copy of the response to the local jurisdiction within which the
facility is located.

WHEREAS, the federal government, as a partner with private owners in

housing preservation grant, which the Low Income Housing Preservation Act,
H.R. 5252, would establish; and

to cities and counties for local transportation needs and half for state
highways and transit systems, as an immediate first step toward solving the
upcoming crisis.

Source: Mayor Dave Karp and Council Member Linda Perry,
City of San Leandro
Referred to: Committee on Transportation and Public Works
Pre iminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, the 35 year era of interstate highway construction will come
to a close in 1991; and
WHEREAS, this provides the nation with an excellent opportunity to
examine and restructure federal , state and local responsibilities in the
surface transportation field; and
WHEREAS, the $15 billion per year generated by the highway trust fund
is of critical importance to the future growth and development of urban
America; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities will be an important part of
the overall debate in the reshaping of these programs; and
WHEREAS, there has been a wide ranging series of proposals to
accomplish a variety of ends in the 'Post-Interstate Era;' now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
be guided by the following principles in the ongoing Post-Interstate debate:
The revenues currently earmarked for the Highway Trust Fund should
continue to be allocated to surface transportation needs, and not
diverted to federal deficit reduction.
Money in the Highway Trust Fund should be spent. as soon as possible,
with reasonable reserves held back, but not massive accumulation of
funds.
The Highway Trust Fund should be removed from the Federal Unified
Budget so that its user fee revenues are not used to disguise budget
deficits on paper.
To the greatest extent possible, programs should be reorganized so
that those elements which most greatly affect urban areas such as the
Federal Aid Urban Highway System and the bridge replacement and
repair program, are allocated directly to local governments with no
necessity for a state pass-through or approval .
Consideration should be given to an Urban Transportation Block Grant,
which would combine many surface transportation programmatic efforts.
Consideration of devolving the federal gas , tax to the individual
states should be opposed.
Federal support in the form of funding, research and development,
technology transfers and intelligence on the hazardous nature of
contents must be made available to local governments in their efforts
to address nonrecurring traffic congestion through corridor
management teams as provided in Congressman Applegate's legislation.
State and local governments must be permitted 'to implement innovative
techniques to generate the local share for federal aided projects
including administration right-of-way donations or acquisitions, the
use of toll facilities and real estate impact fees.
Employers are urged to adopt flextime provisions in their management
policies wherever possible.
All levels of government are urged to provide incentives to companies
for participation in flextime programs.

Pre iminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
when
transportation, the Congress will addressing sothe need totreviewstheeEra of Post-Interstate hEra
of public transit; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities has long viewed the issue of
surface transportation as one of mobility provided by highways, bridges,
trains, buses, light rail as well as car and van pools; and
WHEREAS, it is imperative that federal and state support for transit
continue and grow as public transit is the only form of mobility available to
the transportation-dependent of society: the poor, the elderly, the young and
the handicapped; and
WHEREAS, public transit serves as a ci.ty's most cost effective tool
in the fight against air pollution and urban traffic congestion; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
be guided by the following principles in the ongoing Post-Interstate Transit
debate:
The revenues currently earmarked for mass transit from the federal
gas tax must be maintained.
Money in the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund should be
spent as soon as possible, with reasonable reserves held back, but
not. the current massive accumulation of funds.
Public Transit must be viewed and supported as a full and active
partner in the nation's response to the need for individual and
freight mobility as well as a specific answer to traffic congestion
and air quality degradation.
Current service levels for mass transit must be preserved while new
and expanded services are aggressively pursued.
Greater dollar investment, increased coordination of investments as
well as greater flexibility in the use of available resources are
needed and can be supplemented but not supplanted by new
partnerships, competition and technology.

Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, many regions in California are facing a transportation
infrastructure crisis where new development is having a substantial impact on
the regional transportation network; and
WHEREAS, regional traffic impact fees on new.development have proven
successful in Orange County and elsewhere to help: finance the necessary
capacity improvements for the major regional transportation corridors; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League

43. RESOLUTION RELATING TO TRAFFIC SURVEY OF 85TH PERCENTILE
Source: Los Angeles County Division
Referred to: Committee on Transportation and Public Works
Pre iminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code provides speed
limits cannot be enforced by radar unless justified by an engineering and
traffic survey within five years of the violation; and
WHEREAS, Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code requires such
surveys be conducted in accordance with methods determined by the Department
of Transportation; and
WHEREAS, these methods provide that speed limits be established as .
close to the 85th percentile speed as possible; and
WHEREAS, establishing speed limits on the basis of the speed at which
85 percent of the traffic is moving can result in speeds which are too high to
be considered reasonable and safe on residential collector streets; and
WHEREAS, alternatives to the application of the 85 percentile speed
standard on residential collector streets are needed; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
work with the Department of Transportation to establish alternative standards
for setting speed limits on local residential collector streets when the local
agency has determined application of the 85 percentile speed standard is
unreasonable and unsafe.

44. RESOLUTION RELATING TO AIRPORT CAPACITY
Source: Mayor Dave Karp and Council Member Linda Perry,
City of San Leandro
Referred to: Committee on Transportation and Public Works
Pre iminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, 450 million passengers were handled at airports in the
United States in 1987; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that by the year 2000, 750 million
passengers are expected to utilize the nation's airports; and
WHEREAS, it is projected that 32 airports will experience 20,000
hours of annual delays by the year 1996 unless there are significant
improvements in airport capacity; and
WHEREAS, the costs of delays is estimated at $3 billion to $4 billion
a year; and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 1988 appropriations for aviation capital
programs from the Aviation Trust Fund were cut considerably below levels
authorized in the Airport & Airway Safety & Capacity Expansion Act of 1987;
and
WHEREAS, in addition to Congress's less than fully funding aviation
programs, legislative efforts are underway to undermine the revenue base
available to cities and their airport authorities by limiting their ability to
impose user fees to all companies conducting business at their airport; and
WHEREAS, federal courts have upheld the ability of local government
to impose their user fees, holding that user fees are properly related to the
revenue raising requirements of airports; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
strongly believes that there is a need to build new airports, build new
runways, and to use technology to make existing airports and runways as
efficient as possible; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities call upon Congress to
provide funding for the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) at the full $1.7
billion authorized level ; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the League call upon Congress to reject the
Administration's proposal to repeal the trigger tax provision, since the
Aviation Trust Fund has nearly a E6 billion uncommitted surplus from aviation
user taxes; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities support the efforts of
the Partnerships for Improved Air Travel and encourages its efforts to educate
the public with respect to the positive impact of a modern, efficient aviation
system; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the League urge the National League of Cities to adopt
similar policies and work with the Congress toward their implementation.

itteeonTransportation and Public Works
Preliminary Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
Final Recommendation to Resolutions Committee:
WHEREAS, cable television exerts an enormous influence on the lives
and culture of city residents; and
WHEREAS, cable television is a vital tool in communication of
essential government information to citizens; and
WHEREAS, the role of local governments in franchising and monitoring
the performance of cable television companies is critical ; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities helped play a leadership
role in the development of and passage of the Cable Communications Act of
19849 ending years of legislative struggle between cities and the cable
industry; and
WHEREAS, the principal provisions of the Act have been under attack
by the industry since enactment of the law, in the courts, before the Federal
Communications Commission and in other forums; and
WHEREAS, these actions threaten the delicate balances achieved in the
1984 legislation in areas such as franchising, rate regulation, renewal,
franchise fees and access; and
WHEREAS, many cities are facing lawsuits from cable operators and
would-be cable operators which challenge basic franchising and regulatory
actions on First Amendment grounds; and
WHEREAS, the courts have yet to establish clear-cut and certain rules
concerning the proper application of the First Amendment to municipal
regulation of cable television, and have struck down municipal regulation in
several cases as in violation of the First Amendment; and
WHEREAS, these lawsuits frequently seek the award of millions of
dollars of damages as well as the elimination of virtually all regulation,
including access requirements, universal service requirements, franchise fee
payments, and technical standards; and
WHEREAS, these lawsuits have attacked all aspects of municipal
regulation, including decisions not to renew the franchise of an incumbent
cable operator, to impose regulatory and franchise requirements on existing
and would-be cable operators, and to conduct a selective franchising process;
and
WHEREAS, the municipal actions at issue in these lawsuits have been
taken by cities and towns in conformity with and in good faith reliance on the
provisions of the Cable Act; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in San Diego, October 18, 1988, that the League
support legislation to preserve the intent of the 1984 legislation; and be it
further
RESOLVED, that the League seek a series of dialogues with
representatives of the cable television industry to discuss the status of the
1984 Act and other interests of mutual concern; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the League support the enactment of federal
legislation which provides broad protection against the award of damages in
First Amendment lawsuits for regulatory and franchising activities by
municipalities relating to cable television, including decisions not to renew
franchises, to establish and enforce regulatory requirements, or to utilize a
selective franchising process; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the League urge the National League of Cities to adopt
similar policies and work with the cable industry and the federal government
toward their implementation.
