NOES- ARTHUR, COLLINS COPPOLA, PITTS- 4. No. 50 BY MR. BAKOS City of Buffalo Double Taxation for Regional Arts and Cultural Agencies WHEREAS: The City of Buffalo in 1992 represents 1/3 of the "poorest" people in Erie County! and WHEREAS: The City of Buffalo residents, as poor as they are, pay their equitable share of Erie County Taxes, and WHEREAS: 50 years ago, when the City of Buffalo represented 2/3 of the "wealthiest" people in Erie County, it mattered little whether a "regional asset'? was funded by the County or the City because they were basically the same, and WHEREAS: Over the past 50 years the City of Buffalo has lost much of its tax base while, at the same time, many of our wealthier residents have abandoned the City of Buffalo and fled to the suburbs, and WHEREAS: Over the past 50 years the City of Buffalo has continually supported additional funding, beyond our County tax contributions, to support the regional arts and cultural agencies, and WHEREAS: At this time of fiscal crises it is absolutely insane to continue to ask the City of Buffalo taxpayers to pay a disproportionate amount of money to fund the regional arts and cultural agencies, and WHEREAS: No other municipality in Erie County has seen fit to subject their taxpayers to additional funding, beyond the County of Erie's contribution for regional arts and cultural agencies, and WHEREAS: The City of Buffalo taxpayer can no longer carry the yoke of unfair "double taxation." WHEREAS: It is essential that regional arts and cultural agencies such as the Philharmonic, the Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Burchfield Art Gallery, the Buffalo & Erie Historical Society etc., receive some supporting public dollars, and WHEREAS: These entities add to the positive image of Buffalo and Western New York, and WHEREAS: These cultural assets are a "drawing card" when employers are looking for new business locations, and WHEREAS: The 1977 sales tax agreement stipulated that 11.4% of the sales tax revenues would be used to support Library, cultural agencies, and public benefit agencies, and WHEREAS: The County's present contribution is $6.1 million less than agreed upon, and WHEREAS: The Greater Buffalo Development Foundation/Chamber of Commerce City Budget Task Force has indicated that the 92/93 City Budget had a $53 million dollar short-fall, and further, they predicted a 1993/94 short-fall of $69 million, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That this Common Council goes on record advising the Regional Human Services, and/or Regional Arts and Cultural Agencies that this budget year 1992/93 is the last year that we will subject the City of Buffalo taxpayers to a "double taxation" process, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That we, as Erie County taxpayers, request the County of Erie to amply fund the cultural assets of this community and that copies of this resolution be sent to the County of Erie, all regional cultural agencies and all Erie County municipalities. Mr. Bakos moved that the above item be adopted. Seconded by Mr. Zuchlewski. AYES- ARTHUR, BAKOS, COLLINS, COPPOLA, LOTEMPIO, ZUCHLEWSKI- 6.
