BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities has informed the City of Poway of SB I 690 (Kopp) Care Facilities and
SB 1977 (Mountjoy) Sales and Use Taxes, which are pending before the State Legislature.
FINDINGS
SB 1690 (Kooo\ Care Facilities: Over Concentration
Senator Kopp introduced SB 1690 on February 21, 1996 which applies the 300 foot separation requirement to alcohol
and drug treatment facilities, This legislation does two important things for cities that have experienced problems with
residential care facilities, First, it requires the Director of Social Services and the Director of Alcohol and Drug Programs
to deny an application for a license for a residential care facility that is located within 300 feet of another alcoholism or
drug abuse recovery residential facility, Second, this bill establishes a task force to review problems of all residential care
facilities. This task force will be consisting of city officials and residential care providers.
It is recommended that the City Council support SB 1690.
SB 1977 (Mountioy.) Sales and Use Taxes: Allocation
Senator Mountjoy introduced SB 1977 on February 23, 1996 which earmarks one cent of the state sales tax rate for
cities and counties, This additional revenue would be allocated on a per capita basis. About $3,2 billion would be shifted
from the state to cities and counties, A portion of these specified provisions would be transferred to the Local Fiscal
Relief Fund. The legislation has fajled to pass the Senate Revenue and Taxation Cornmittee and the author intends to
resurrect substance of legislation in another vehide,
It is recommended that the City Council support the concept of sales tax redistribution contained in SB 1977.
