It is a day in which all cities will help <br /> educate citizens and lawmakers about unfunded federal and state mandates <br /> that impact cities. <br /> The attached resolution is presented for your consideration. Also as part <br /> of the education process, each city has been asked to write to their state <br /> and federal elected officials and call attention to the financial burden <br /> that mandates place on cities at a time when federal and state assistance <br /> programs are declining. <br /> I have attached a list of some of the state and federal mandates which <br /> impact the City, directly and indirectly. Each year, more and more unfunded <br /> mandates are placed on the backs of cities. As cities try to balance <br /> service demands with limited resources, unfunded mandates continue to make <br /> that balancing act more difficult. <br /> _,,,ie,„,g <br /> ' arrant a Orduno, ity Administrator 1 <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Motion to read and approve Resolution No. 4423 Opposing Federal and State <br /> Mandates and Declaring October 27, 1993 as "Unfunded Mandates Day" <br />
