A RESOLUTION REGARDING UNFUNDED STATE AND FEDERAL
MANDATES AND EXCESSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, the voters of the State in approving section 6
of Initiative 62 , codified as RCW 43,135.060, directed the
Legislature to refrain from imposing unfunded mandated
requirements on local governments; and
WHEREAS, the National League of Cities has identified federal
mandates as a-primary area of concern and supports pending
legislation, H.R. 140 and S. 648, designed to prevent unfunded
federal mandates; and
WHEREAS, in spite of clear directives from cities and towns,
the legislature and federal government impose unfunded new
service requirements or legislates a more costly manner in
which services are to be provided; and
WHEREAS, those mandates generally impose financial burdens on
cities and towns, which have limited financial capacity and
must either reduce or eliminate services or raise rates beyond
ability to pay in order to comply with such mandates; and
WHEREAS, excessive and uncoordinated state and federal
regulations have resulted in millions of dollars in cost to
cities and towns; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bremerton has approximately a 50% low
income and senior citizen population; and
WHEREAS, the federal and state mandates regarding combined
sewer overflow will cost the City in excess of twenty three
million dollars resulting in bills to utility users reaching
hardship'levels; and
WHEREAS, based upon public comment received by the Bremerton
City Council regarding the excessive cost of state and federal
environmental mandates the council expresses their strong
opposition to unrealistic and unfunded regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City
of Bremerton, representing the citizens of the City, requests
that the Washington State Legislature and Congress refrain
from passing legislation that imposes unfunded mandates and
excessive and uncoordinated environmental regulations.
PASSED by the City Council this 5th day of January, 1994.
