RESOLUTION URGING THE CONGRESS OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO REENACT THE
GENERAL REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM TO ASSIST
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
WHEREAS, in 1972 Congress enacted P.L. 92-512, which es-
tablished the General Revenue Sharing Program to assist state
and local units of government , and
WHEREAS, this program is perhaps the most efficient and
effective program ever established by the federal government ,
and
WHEREAS, without such a program local government in Iowa
would have to increase property taxes in order to maintain the
current level of services in their communities, and
WHEREAS, the continued strength of local government and
effectiveness of the federal system are dependent upon the pro-
grams continuation, and
WHEREAS, the General Revenue Sharing Program scheduled to
expire September 30, 1980 will be the focus of considerable at-
tention by members of Congress, and
WHEREAS, the support of such a program reinforces your
commitment to local government problems in Iowa.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Waterloo,
Iowa meeting this 14th day of April , 1980 does hereby strongly
urge you to resist any attempts to permit the General Revenue
Sharing Program to expire and instead asks you to take what-
ever action is necessary toward gaining the reenactment of the
program.
ROLL CALL: Present : Bowers, Burton, Dowie, Getty, Roehr,
Wilharm. Absent : Penaluna .
SIGNED THIS 16th day of April , 1980.
