WHEREAS, the Town of Truckee, incorporated on March 23, 1993, has the fiscal
problems faced by all municipalities and local government jurisdictions, but with a
greater impact because of necessary start-up costs and lack of cash flowing to the
Town Treasury; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Truckee became incorporated upon the reasonable and
conservative fiscal assumption developed by the Nevada County Local Agency
Formation Commission and its consultants; and
WHEREAS, the State of California, in its effort to overcome the fiscal effects of
revenue losses due to economic conditions and the failure to control marginally useful
expenditures has, in past years, turned to raiding local government revenues and
shifting the cost of providing services to cities, counties and other local jurisdictions;
and

government property tax revenues, diverting those monies to State purposes; and

continued confiscation of revenues long considered the fiscal foundation of local
government; and

problems by extending, for the duration of'the financial crisis, the one-haff cent sales
tax to expire at the end of the current fiscal year;
