A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT DECLARING
THE NEED FOR AND SUPPORT OF THE
BRADLEY-BURNS BILL OF RIGHTS
WHEREAS, the Bradley -Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law provides for
administration of local sales and use tax by the Board of Equalization pursuant to a statewide
contract; and
WHEREAS, sales and use tax has become the primary source of local government
general revenue for most of California's cities and is a major source of revenue for California's
counties; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties contract with and pay a significant fee to the Board of
Equalization for administration of their sales and use ax, a most important component of local
government financing; and
WHEREAS, these disputes, which often go unresolved, may involve either simple
factual disagreements or administrative policies applied by Board of Equalization staff without
statutory, regulatory, contractual or Board Member support; and
WHEREAS, there are no established procedures whereby a contracting local jurisdiction
can seek to resolve such disputes; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of clear and specific rights of contracting local
jurisdictions and a formal dispute resolution process will help to promote fair, equitable and
responsive administration of local sales and use tax by Board of Equalization staff.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the BRADELY-BURNS BILL OF RIGHTS is a necessary set of tenets
which should be recognized by the Board of Equalization and the State of
California; and
2. That the Board of Equalization should adopt the appropriate resolutions or
regulations to enact the provisions of the BRADLEY-BURNS BILL OF RIGHTS.
