SUPPORT OF ORANGE COUNTY LEAGUE OF CITIES' POSITION ON LONG TERM FINANCING Dan Elankenship, City Administrator, reported that the Orange County League of Cities has submitted a recommendation that all of its cities support a slightly amended approach in long term financing. The League of Ca. Cities, State wide, has supported the approach of doing away with an annual bailout, and providing substitute money to cities from the sales tax, increasing the amount of the existing sales tax that is assigned to cities and counties to eliminate the loss that occurred as a result of Proposition 13. The State League is now of the opinion that the best arrangement politically feasible at present, is that rather than receiving additional sales tax, that cities could receive an additional amount of the existing property taxes. The State COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 6-4-79 legislature seems inclined to provide sales tax to the school system in taking them substantially off of the existing property taxes. The Orange County Division is suggesting that this approach of using property taxes as an intermediate solution to the funding problem be approved and supported by cities with the idea that the use of sales tax would be the longer range solution. It was moved by Welsh, seconded by Saltarelli, to send the appropriate correspondence in support of this position. Carried 3-0, Sharp and Kennedy absent.

LIABILITY CLAIMS OF MARK WEST AND WILLIAM H. BOAM Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, asked that the liability claims of Mark West and William H. Boam be approved as recommended by the City Attorney. It was moved by Welsh, seconded by Saltarelli, that Carl Warren & Co. be authorized to offer the sum of $1500 to settle the claim of Mark West, and the sum of $1,000 to settle the claim of William H. Boam. Carried 3-0, Sharp and Kennedy absent.
