RESOLUTION NO.
7 f- lY:<..
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUESTING THE
COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO TO FUND THE REGIONAL HELICOPTER PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, counties were specifically designated by the State
of California as unique jurisdictional entities to perform not
only routine maintenance activities but also functions of regional
significance; and
WHEREAS, certain programs by their nature necessarily
have to be performed by counties rather than by cities due to
their scope and cost; such as, the court systems, district
attorneY~~2 office, county jail, probation department, and other
related criminal justice programs; and
WHEREAS, though there are certain taxes; such as, sales
tax, gasoline tax, etc., that are secured solely from unincor-
porated residents, the County still receives property taxes from
all county residents, including residents within the jurisdiction-
al entity of a city; and
WHE~, subsequent to the passage of Proposition 13
(the Jarvis/Gann Initiative) the County percentage of total
property taxes secured from the jurisdictional areas of the city
has increased substantially; and
WHEREAS, the helicopter patrol has demonstrated that it is
a very effective program in support of patrol activities; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the County of San
Bernardino has concluded that the helicopter patrol "is a better
expenditure of limited law enforcement dollars and is in lieu of
what we believe would have to be a higher level of patrol staff-
ing"; and
