Item to be presented by.
NEW BUSINESS
DATE: April 17, 1990
SUBJECT: Assembly Bill 3002 (Bader)
DEPARTMENT: Finance Alp
BACKGROUND
Andrea Daroca
Under existing law, the allocations of state subventions to new cities is based
upon an estimated population of three times the number of registered voters at
the time of incorporation. According to the Revenue and Taxation Code Section
11005.3, our incorporated City population base will be frozen for the first
eight fiscal years. Under this interpretation, Santa Clarita's population will
remain 147,228 until 1995, irrespective of the census of other agency population
estimates. This would further not allow for any adjustments due to annexations.
Assembly Bill 3002 authored by Bader would correct this situation by giving a
City, incorporated after January 1, 1987, additional options for updating its
population base. This legislation would allow a new City to either request a
state controller's update to the City population via a special census or by
utilizing the most recent Department of Finance estimates. AB 3002 also retains
the option for a City to use its current population should it choose for the
first eight years of incorporation.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council direct staff to prepare a letter for the Mayor's signature
supporting AB 3002.

relating to vehicle license fee revenues.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3002, as introduced, Bader. Vehicle license fees: revenues:
distribution.
Existing law requires the Controller to distribute a specified
percentage of the vehicle license fees collected by the state to each
city and city and county in the proportion that the population of each
city or city and county bears to the total population of all cities
and the city and county. Existing law requires, in general, that the
population research unit of the Department of Finance determine the
population of newly incorporated cities and those with unincorporated
territory, with certain exceptions. For cities incorporated after the
1980 federal census, the Controller is required, only until July 1,
1991, to ascertain the population by multiplying the number of
registered voters by 3. For cities incorporated after January 1, 1987,
the Controller is required, on and after July 1, 1991, to ascertain
the population for 8 full fiscal years after incorporation by
multiplying the number of registered voters by 3.
This bill would require, in the case of unincorporated territory
being annexed to a city subsequent to either the last federal census
or a subsequent census validated by the Department of Finance, that
the department's population research unit determine the population of
the annexed territory by the use of any federal decennial or special
census, or any estimate prepared pursuant to a specified section of
the Streets and Highways Code.
This bill would also provide, on and after July 1, 1991, that the
legislative body of a city may request that the Controller determine
the population of that city pursuant to specified provisions by
adopting, and delivering a certified copy to the Controller of, a
resolution electing to have the population determined according to
those provisions.

Dear Mayor Darcy:
Enclosed for your review and consideration is a copy of Assembly Bill 3002 (Bader), 4-
which the City of Santa Clarita as a new city may have an interest. 1.
F
der existing law, the allocation for State Subventions to new cities (Motor Vehicle inu, Gas Tax, etc.) is based upon an estimate using the formula three times registered
ers, at the time of incorporation. We have contacted the State Department of Finance
as to a more equitable way to determine a new City's population which would be
reflective of .r_ecent ro and or annexations. We have been informed, that under
Revenue and Taxationectio`n it00'ur incorporated city population base will
be frozen for the first eight fiscal years. Under this interpretation, Hesperia's population
for State Subvention purposes will remain until 1996 at 59,745 irrespective of the. 1990
census or State Department of Finance estimates. We feel this approach is unfair and
could seriously impact our city, as well as other newly incorporated cities by not allowing
for any adjustments due to population or annexations.
AB 3002 would correct this situation by giving a city, incorporated after January I, 1987,
additional options for updating its population base. The legislation would allow a new
city to either request the State Controller to update the City's population, via a special
census, or by utilizing the most recent Department of Finance estimates. AB 3002 also
retains the option for a city to use its current population base, should it chose, for the
AB
eight years of incorporation.
We feel AB 3002 is important for new cities, and would encourage your active support. I
have asked our Sacramento Advocates, Tim Egan and Pete Sandford, to contact you or
Mr. George Caravalho next week to further review the legislation, and answer any
questions or provide you with add itio_nal[af i:mation. In the meantime, please feel free to
give me or our City Manager , -Robert -"all if we can be of any assistance.
Sincerely yours,
Bruce D. Kitchen
Mayor
