YOUR CITY AND OURS A Citizen's Guide to the Government of Sun Luis Obispo Prepared by THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS San Luis Obispo, California January, 1964 History Elected Officials Appointments Made by City Council The League of Women Voters is a nation-wide non-partisan organization. Its purpose is to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation in all levels of govern- ment. Copies of this folder are available for 104 from League mem- bers or by calling 543-0654. History: San Luis Obispo owes its name to the Spanish interpretation of Saint Louis, French Bishop of Toulouse. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa so named in 1772 is one of the state -long chain of missions established by Father Junipero Serra. Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles this settlement grew around its mission. Coastal ships touched at nearby ports and travelers along the mission trail stopped to rest. The Southern Pacific Coastal Railroad, completed in 1901, the El Camino Real (Kings Highway) added their links between north and south. Incorporated as a city in 1856 San Luis Obispo became a cen- ter of a thriving agricultural area. Now a county -seat surrounded by recreation areas it has added tourist services to its growing economy. In 1911 a city charter was adopted. This was revised in 1955 to provide a council -administrative officer form of govern- ment. California State Polytechnic College, one of California's fine State Colleges, is located here.

The property tax is based on the difference between all other revenue and the estimated cost of supplying municipal services during the fiscal year. The tax bill you receive from the city is your share of the property tax. It is calculated by multiplying the assessed value of property within San Luis Obispo by the dollars per $100. set by your district. Included in your county tax bill are your share of the bud- gets of the county, school districts and special districts such as the Port San Luis harbor and the county -wide flood control and water conservation district. This is collected by county officials. FISCAL YEAR The fiscal year of the city begins on the first day of July of each year and ends on the thirtieth day of June of the following year. ANNUAL BUDGET The annual budget for the city is prepared by the City Ad- ministrative Officer with the assistance of the Director of Fi- nance and all department heads. About the first of March the City Administrative Officer sends budget forms to all depart- ment heads for their estimates of expenditures. In late May the proposed budget is sent to the City Council. An open hearing on the budget is held in June, notice of which must be published in a San Luis Obispo newspaper, not less than ten days prior to the hearing. After the public hearing and approval by the Council, the budget is adopted on or before the first Monday in July and pubhake"r distribution. Th-sr-budtet may be amend- ed or supplemented by a majority vote of the City Council at any time during the year. CITY TAXES Not later than the first Tuesday in September of each year, the Council shall by ordinance, levy such city property tax as may be necessary to meet the expenditures to be made. Accord- ing to the City Charter, the Council shall not levy a property tax for municipal purposes greater than eighty-five cents on each one hundred dollars of assessed value of taxable property with the following exceptions. Additional taxes may be levied to meet all obligations of the city for the principal and interest of bonds and judgments, and to meet all obligations of the city to the State Employees Retirement System for retirement bene- fits of city employees although no tax has ever been levied for this purpose. Special taxes may be made for public improve- ments and betterments, for the city's public library and for park and recreation purposes when approved by the electorate. ASSESSMENTS The City Clerk -Assessor must complete the assessing of property within the city limits fairly and accurately at approxi- mately 25 per cent of its market value by two days after the last Monday in June. On the first Monday in July the City, Council sits as a Board of Equalization. A taxpayer may appeal his assessment at scheduled times until the third Monday in July. Special assessment districts may be formed by petition to the City Council to provide .specific improvements which the city is unable or unwilling to finance. These districts are used by residents to provide such services as sewers, water systems, streets, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

Information Voting Information Courts and Juries: CONSTITUTION The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. Both the United States Constitution and the California Sate Constitution provide for the creation of courts to have jurisdiction over the laws of the states, the cities, and the coun- ties. The judicial system of cities and counties is under the jurisdiction of the state government. JUSTICE COURT The boundaries of the five Justice Courts within San Luis Obispo County are determined by the boundaries of the five su- pervisorial districts. The court has jurisdiction over traffic vio- lations, small claims, misdemeanors, and civil cases involving sums up to $500. Complaint for an alleged felony may be filed in Justice Court for a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is cause to hold the defendant for trial in Superior Court. Judges are elected for six year terms. In California, cities with a population of 40,000 or more, have municipal courts. SUPERIOR COURTS The Superior Courts are the courts of general jurisdiction and the highest trial courts in the county. The Court has two departments, each presided over by a judge who is elected for a six year term. The Superior Courts have jurisdiction over the following: appeals from the Justice Court, probate matters, felonies, juvenile court, domestic relations, committing court, civil actions involving over $500., and naturalization proceed- ings. APPELLATE COURTS The Appellate Courts, which are the California Supreme Court, District Courts of Appeal, and Appellate Department of the Superior Court, as a general rule are concerned with al- leged errors of law made in trial courts. The Second District Court of Appeals embraces the following counties: San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles. GRAND JURY Each county is required by state law to summon at least one grand jury a year. Each of the Superior Court Judges sub- mits the names of fifteen qualified voters as candidates for the jury. Nineteen names are drawn to serve for a one-year term. The Grand Jury hears witnesses in cases where there is reason to believe a crime has been committed, and, if evidence is suf- ficient, returns an indictment against the person suspected. It surveys the operation of County government; investigates ac- tivities of public officials; audits all county funds; and investi- gates personnel and equipment needs in various departments. JURY COMMISSIONER Jury Commissioner is a joint appointment of the two Super- ior Court Judges with the confirmation of the Board of Super- visors. He selects names from a registry of voters and main- tains files of citizens eligible to serve for jury duty. TRIAL JURY A Trial Jury consists of twelve persons (with a few excep- tions). These persons are chosen by the jury commissioner by lot from a panel of residents of voting age not otherwise dis- qualified by poor health, occupation, prison record or lack of citizenship. A jury may be waived in either a civil or criminal case.
