WHEREAS, the state has had ongoing budget deficits since 2001; and

WHEREAS, Proposition 58 would require that the state adopt a balanced budget and provide for mid-year adjustments in the event that the budget falls out of balance; and

WHEREAS, support of Proposition 58 would help the County to provide responsive, effective and collaborative government and work toward Goal #20-to ensure that government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain;

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors by the adoption of this resolution hereby supports Proposition 58-The California Balanced Budget Act.
