ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Councilwoman Pepper expressed concern about the car-tax rollback and Delegate John H. Rust's plan which would repeal 70 percent of the car tax and would save the state dollars this fiscal year by delaying state rebate payments to local governments for 30 days, instead of the usual 2 days. According to Legislative Director Caton, there would be a perpetual shifting of funds that should be paid to localities in one year, but paid actually in the next year.

Legislative Director Caton reported on the budget stalemate in Richmond. He explained Delegate Rust's proposal; a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Oral (a); 5/8/01, and is incorported herewith as part of this record by reference.

Mayor Donley stated that it is the consensus of the Alexandria City Council that it is opposed to Delegate Rust's proposal and requested Legislative Director Caton to communicate Council's opposition to our General Assembly delegation and anyone else who is willing to listen. In addition, Council's previous position in opposition to the 1/2 cent sales tax in Northern Virginia solely for transportation would hold.
