Council Member Kerr noted that the Alameda County Transportation Authority and the Congestion Management Agency held a 35-minute memorial for Dave Karp, honoring him for his outstanding work in the transportation industry. He said the program was very nicely done, and Mrs. Karp and members of her family attended. B. Council Member Perry said a lot of trailer bills were passed in the Assembly. She said the Senate was still debating when she left. She said cities fared better than expected with the trailer bills. She said out of $2.6 billion, counties will be hit for $1.988 billion, cities for $288 million, and special districts for $244 million. She said redevelopment agencies would be hit for $65 million over the next two years. She said, because San Leandro is a low property tax city, it will only be hit for 9% of the total Alameda County property tax which is $97,315,000 for the County, $792,000 for the City. She said the Legislature shifted $90 million as a one-time payback out of the debt service for a one-time vehicle license rebate, and San Leandro might get up to $240,000 of that. She said each county must put the one-half cent sales tax extension on the ballot and ask the State for the money. If the voters approve it statewide, and the County has done a number of things, the City could get up to 50% of its net property tax hit, or a maximum of $272,000, which could be utilized for public safety, police and fire protection, and district attorney services only. She said cities fared better because Governor Wilson was hit very hard by the League and numerous cities. She said the counties didn't fare as well and alienated Speaker Brown. She said she will provide the information on the trailer bills to the Council .
