City Manager Approval
Item to be presented by:
CONSENT CALENDAR Jeff Kolin
DATE: MARCH 27, 1990
SUBJECT: THE 1990 ALCOHOL TAX INITIATI
Resolution Number: 90-51
DEPARTMENT: PARKS AND RECREATION
BACKGROUND
The Alcohol Tax Initiative Committee was formed in the Spring of 1989, and is
supported by a broad coalition of local government, law enforcement, education,
health, alcohol, drug, mental health organizations and other California groups
and citizens.
In May 1989, during a national conference on drunken driving, C. Everett Koop,
M.D., United States Surgeon General under the Reagan and Bush administrations,
strongly recommended that states consider an alcohol tax with a minimum increase
of a "nickel -a -drink" to help finance alcohol related programs.
The Attorney General of California has prepared "THE ALCOHOL TAX ACT OF 1990."
The proposed initiative would raise the tax on beer, wine and hard liquor, and
would use the money to fight problems caused by alcohol and other drugs.
Currently, the huge costs imposed by alcohol for law enforcement, treatment
programs, etc., are spread equally over all state taxpayers. Not all taxpayers
are alcohol users. The initiative would provide the State's tax system the
legislation to tax the alcohol user.
The California Park and Recreation Society has also joined the Committee, and
has sent a letter requesting the support of the City Council for the ballot
measure which will also provide funding for Park and Recreation programs and
projects that address alcohol and otherdrug impacts on public parks and
facilities. The annual allotment has been estimated to be $350,000 to $400,000,
according to Robert Reynolds, Campaign Director, and Robert Fairbanks, Committee
Member and Media Consultant.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution Number 90-51 supporting
the 1990 Alcohol Tax Initiative, and direct the City Clerk to complete and
forward the "Statement of Organizational Endorsement."

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS
The Attorney General of California has prepared the
folling title and summary of the chief purpose and points of
the proposed initiative:
(Here set forth the title and summary prepared by the
Attorney General. This title and summary must also be
printed across the top of each page of the petition whereon
signatures are to appear).
TO THE HONORABLE SECRETARY OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE ALCOHOL TAX ACT OF 1990
SECTION 1. This measure shall be known and may be cited
as the Alcohol Tax Act of 1990.
SECTION 2. The people find and declare as follows:
(a) Alcohol use drains California of approximately
$13.6 billion annually in increased health care costs, higher
crime rates, lost productivity, environmental damage, and
injuries from alcohol-related accidents and abuse.
(b) Alcohol-related accidents are the leading cause of
death among teenagers and the cause of many permanently
disabling injuries-.
(c) There is a strong correlation between alcohol and
other drug use.
(d) Meeting the need and demand for alcohol and other
drug treatment and recovery programs is an increasingly
expensive burden to all California taxpayers.
(e) The use of alcohol and other drugs is a major cause
of hospital emergency room and trauma care treatment, and
therfore greatly.contributes to the need for emergency
medical air -transportation services.
(f) The use of alcohol and other drugs is closely
associated with mental illness and contributes enormously to
the cost of treating the mentally ill.
(g) The use of alcohol and other drugs contributes
significantly to vandalism, litter, and unruly and criminal
behavior in California's parks and recreation facilities.
(h) The use of alcohol and other drugs is a major
factor in the majority of child and spousal abuse cases, and
is also frequently associated with abuse of .elderly,
mentally -ill and mentally -retarded residents of long-term
care facilities.
(i) Alcohol.use.during pregnancy causes approximately
5,000 children to be born in California each year with
alcohol-related birth defects; and other drug use during
pregnancy, especially cocaine, affects thousands of
1 -
.6 • 0
babies born each year.
(j) Drinking and driving, and driving under the
influence of other drugs, is the major cause of traffic
accidents and fatalities in California each year.
(k) Alcohol and other drug-related crimes are an
increasing burden to law enforcement and the criminal justice
system in California.
(1) While the staggering cost of alcohol abuse is borne
by all Californians, 67 percent of the alcohol is consumed by
only 11 percent of the population.
(m) An increase in the excise tax levied on alcoholic
beverages equivalent to a five cents ($0.05) per drink is a
fair and appropriate way to reduce alcohol's staggering
burden on all California taxpayers.

Constitution, to read:
SECTION 7. Section 3 does not apply to the Alcohol Tax
of 1990.
SECTION 4. Section 13 is added to Article XIII B of the

MEMORANDUM _;,;;;� r.� '•
T0: All California Administrators & Directors
FR: Ron Suter, CPRS Alcohol Tax Coordinator
RE: SUPPORT FOR THE ALCOHOL TAX INITIATIVE
Your help is needed in the following ways to
support the 1990 Alcohol Tax Initiative:
* Submit a resolution of support and endorsement
to your governing body for approval. A copy of
a sample resolution and background information
is attached. Include in your resolution the
approximate amount your annual allotment will
be from this program. This can be calculated
by multiplying your 1986 State Bond Act Per
Capita Allocation by 14.6 percent.
* When approval is granted, complete the attached
"Statement of Organizational Endorsement" and
send it, with a copy of the resolution, to the
Alcohol Tax Initiatve Committee office. Also,
send a copy to the CPRS office.
* Volunteer your time and encourage your
employees to help gather signatures. CPRS is
presently lagging behind in signature
gathering, therefore we need the help of every
CPRS member. On the reverse side of this
memorandum are the names and phone numbers of
your district coordinator. Please cal)_ todav
and volunteer! Just 3 hours of your personal
time can help us reach our goal of 160,000
signatures.
If you need additional information regarding
the Initiative, please call the CPRS office or the
Alcohol Tax Committee office.
Your cooperation is of utmost importance in
our efforts to seek voter approval of this
valuable long term funding program. Thank you in
advance for your support.
