WRITTEN COMMUNICATION-TAX RELIEF PLAN Subject correspondence provided information concerning a bill developed by Senator Behr which proposes to eliminate all property taxes on owner-occupied residences in California and seeks support of the legislation and requests suggestions. SB1375 will fund local government from three new tax sources : 1. Tax on the underlying land of an owner-occupied residence, based on an appraised value frozen at the 1976 level . Reappraisals upward would only be allowed to match raises in the cost of living index. 2. 5% sales tax on the purchase of an owner-occupied residence. 3. 20o surcharge on the state income tax paid by persons in owner- occupied residences. Council expressed opposition to subject bill with particular objection expressed to the 5% sales tax and 20o surcharge proposed. The opinion was also expressed that there appeared to be other inequities, it appeared to be unsound, and the information was not properly - - documented. It was pointed out the League of California Cities supports the concept away from property tax to income tax. How- ever, the bill in its present form will not be supported by the League. On a motion by Councilwoman Pearson, seconded by Councilman Simpson it was unanimously carried to direct the City Manager to refer subject matter to the Revenue and Taxation Committee indicating that while the Council is sympathetic to the situation, the legislation as proposed does not remedy the situation.
