Resolution 08509CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 8509
OPPOSING SENATE BILL 1550, REVISING THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF
CALCULATING PENALTY ASSESSMENTS AS ADDITIVES TO FINES AND
FORFEITURES
WHEREAS, SB 1550 has been introduced in the California Legislature; and
WHEREAS, SB 1550 proposes to revise the present system of calculating penalty assess-
ments as additives to fines and forfeitures by providing for a deduction of five dollars ($5,09)
for every twenty-five dollars (S25,00), or fraction thereof, from every fine, penalty, and
forfeiture; and
WHEREAS, said revision would result in a potential loss of revenue needed fo' law
enforcement purposes; and
WHEREAS, although the time to reevaluate the method of allocating fine and forfeiture
revenues may be present, such reevaluation should be done in a comprehensive manner after a
careful cost-benefit study; and
WHEREAS, SB 1550 proposes reevaluation above referred to on an ad hoc basis and not
in a comprehensive manner after a careful cost-benefit study and the result of the passage of
SB 1550 would be loss of revenue needed by cities for local law enforcement purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA that the City of
Alameda he on record as opposing SB 1550.
