A RESOLUTION declaring October 27, 1993 as Unfunded Mandates Day in the
City of Yakima.
WHEREAS, the number of unfunded federal and state mandates on cities and
counties have significantly increased during the last decade; and
WHEREAS, many federal and state programs, which were made available to local
governments to ease the burden of carrying out federal mandates, have been
terminated or drastically reduced; and,
WHEREAS, these mandates have added to the financial hardships that some cities
and counties are experiencing and have resulted in the need for many local
governments to increase revenues or curtail services; and,
WHEREAS, studies have shown these mandates consume one-fourth of most city,
county and school budgets meaning that these local dollars are used to fund state
and federal priorities rather than local priorities; and,
WHEREAS, is estimated that the percentage of the City's budget devoted to
mandate compliance is 54.29 for capital and 68.37 for operating; and,
WHEREAS, there are numerous proposals before Congress to limit unfunded
mandates and the burdensome regulations that accompany many federal laws;
and,
WHEREAS, October 27, 1993 has been designated as National Unfunded Mandates
Day in order to call attention to the severe problems that these mandates impose
on cities and counties;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Yakima requests that the Clinton
Administration, the Congress and the State Legislature pass meaningful legislation
to end the practice of unfunded mandates, and to include in any future mandate,
provisions requiring local government input, cost/benefit analyses and
scientifically sound assessments of purported health, safety or environmental risk;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Yakima has proclaimed October 27,
1993 as "Unfunded Mandates Day" in observance of National Unfunded Mandates
Day.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this 26th day of October, 1993.
