A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ENDORSING THE
PRINCIPLE OF FEDERAL BLOCK GRANTS WITHIN
AVAILABLE SOURCES OF REVENUE ON A POPU-
LATION FORMULA TO BE USED FOR GENERAL
GOVERNMENT PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, there is now pending before the United States Congress
certain proposals relating to the return of Federal monies to the cities
by block grant; and
WHEREAS, it is proposed that a portion of the taxes collected by
the Internal Revenue Service would be returned to the cities to be used
for general government purposes; and
WHEREAS, these block grants would be a supplement to the present
funds of the cities and should be made to each city on the basis of
population; and
WHEREAS, such block grants should only be made from available
revenue and should not result in or contribute to further increases of
the national debt with the attendant evils of inflation; and
WHEREAS, the National League of Cities has reviewed the Federal
block grant proposal and overwhelmingly endorsed it; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Commissioners of Salt
Lake City to approve and endorse the principle of Federal block grants
and encourage its adoption by the Congress of the United States subject
to the aforementioned limitations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of
Salt Lake City, Utah, that the principle of Federal block grants to be
used by cities for the purposes of general government be approved and
endorsed insofar as the same shall not result in further deficits in
Federal spending.
Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah, this
27th day of November, 1968. ;_,
