RESOLUTION NO. 92-02
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
IN OPPOSITION TO THE SHIFTING
OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE
FROM ENTERPRISE SPECIAL DISTRICTS
TO FUND SCHOOLS
WHEREAS, Governor Wilson has proposed shifting $347 million in property tax revenue
from "enterprise" special districts to fund schools as part of his 1992-93 budget
plan, and
WHEREAS, Yorba Linda Water District will lose $644,000 in annual property tax revenue if
the proposal were adopted, and
WHEREAS, Orange County Water District will lose $8,500,000 in annual property tax
revenue that would result in an increase of the Replenishment Assessment paid by
Yorba Linda Water District on the production of groundwater, and
WHEREAS, the Governor's proposal would result in an approximate $4.00 increase to the
average Yorba Linda Water District customer's water bill, and
WHEREAS, water consumers already face water rate increases due to the ongoing drought,
water quality regulatory requirements and various economic factors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of Yorba Linda Water
District as follows:
Section 1. The Board opposes Governor Wilson's proposed transfer of property tax revenues
from "enterprise" special districts to fund schools, and
Section 2. The Board of Directors supports efforts to find alternative and more equitable means
of school financing.
Section 3. The General Manager is authorized and directed to file a copy of the resolution with
the Governor, State Senator and Assemblyman representing customers of the District and the City
Councils of Yorba Linda and Placentia.
