A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA TO OPPOSE PROPOSITION 16: THE
TAXPAYERS RIGHT TO VOTE ACT, WHICH IS A
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
SCHEDULED FOR THE JUNE 2010 BALLOT THAT
WOULD REQUIRE COMMUNITIES TO REACH A TWO -
THIRDS CONSENSUS VOTE IN ORDER TO FORM A
COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION AND WOULD
REQUIRE THE SAME LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR
EXPANDING MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, Proposition 16, a Constitutional Amendment, has qualified for the
June 8, 2010 statewide ballot (the "Initiative "); and
WHEREAS, the Initiative would require a public electricity provider to obtain a
two- thirds voter majority in both existing territory and proposed territory expansions prior
to spending funds for utility system expansion; and
WHEREAS, the Initiative would effectively overturn AB 117 (2002), which
authorizes local jurisdictions to join coalitions known as Community Choice Aggregation
( "CCA ") in order to procure and provide electricity to residents and businesses in a less
costly and more environmentally sensitive manner; and
WHEREAS, the City of Temecula ( "City ") does not currently provide electricity,
nor are there plans to provide electricity to its residents and businesses in the future;
and
WHEREAS, the Initiative would make it more difficult for the City to join a CCA in
the future; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Temecula,
California, that the City of Temecula opposes the passage of Proposition 16, a
proposed constitutional amendment.
