AN URGENCY RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE CALIFORNIA JOBS BUDGET
WHEREAS, California is again facing a huge deficit: a $17.9 billion general fund
shortfall. The ongoing gap in revenues and spending puts thousands of private and public sector
jobs at risk; and
WHEREAS, local governments have been hit especially hard, and throughout the state
have shed over 20,000 jobs — including public safety positions; and
WHEREAS, the May Revise of the Governor's Budget proposes $4.3 billion in
Proposition 98 public school funding cuts; and
WHEREAS, the California Jobs Budget, introduced by Assembly Speaker John A. Perez,
takes a radically different approach toward resolving the state's budget deficit. The entire focus
is about creating and saving jobs and closing the deficit. The budget proposal includes a $10.1
billion jobs and economic stability fund that will protect against the loss of the 430,000 jobs
threatened under other proposals; and
WHEREAS, the California Jobs Budget protects thousands of local police, fire and other
local jobs by repaying $900 million owed to local governments for past mandates. This provides
you with $900 million in discretionary funds to assist with local budget challenges and avoid
layoffs for critical public service jobs; and
WHEREAS, the California Jobs Budget will ensure that $3.8 billion would be repaid to
local school districts. This protects tens of thousands of jobs for teachers, aides and counselors —
a step which is good for the local community and the local business community.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the city of Carson,
California, supports the California Jobs Budget as it was proposed, and encourages the State
Legislature and the Governor to adopt this budget without delay.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 15th day of June, 2010, at Carson,
California.
