the

challenges meeting dramatically increased law enforcement and
pUblic safety needs, addressing spiraling health care costs,
coping with unprecedented population growth, managing traffic
congestion and teaching our children the skills necessary to
compete in the modern workforce; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 111 would alter the government
spending limit to allow state and local governments greater
flexibility in making use of already collected tax dollars
generated by California's strong economy to address these needs;
and
WHEREAS, it would allow the state to increase user fees a

WHEREAS, basic funding guarantees provided to public
schools on the November 1988 ballot are retained; and

limit, it will be impossible to maintain the generally high

light rail to address this need.

I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was duly
adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
