REGARDING JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, PROPOSING
THAT THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES INITIATE
A STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE REGARDING JOINT
AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
WHEREAS, the joint and several liability rule has had a
profoundly negative effect on local government; and,
WHEREAS, the dramatic financial strain on cities is
being borne by all taxpayers; and,
WHEREAS, special interest groups have a vested interest
in defeating any legislation proposed to relieve the "deep
pockets" syndrome; and,
WHEREAS, insurance premiums have escalated to a point
where local government often cannot afford to purchase the
necessary coverage; and,
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 500 and Senate Bill 575,
previously introduced as a means of equitable relief for the
"deep pockets" problems, have both been defeated in Committee.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby support the
initiation by the League of California Cities of a statewide
ballot initiative based on Senate Bill 500 (Beverly) and Senate
Bill 575 (Foran/Beverly) to relieve the financial strain imposed
not only on local government, but on taxpayers as well.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is directed
to forward a copy of this Resolution to appropriate Legislators
and to the League of California Cities.
