RESOLUTION NO. 5047
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA SUPPORTING THE FLEXIBLE APPLICATION
OF THE COUNTY MINIMUM FORMULA IN SB 215 AS A
SHORT TERM MEASURE AND A LEGISLATIVE REVISION
TO THAT FORMULA TO EXCLUDE FEDERAL INTERSTATE
FUNDING AS A LONG TERM MEASURE
WHEREAS, the City and the County of Los Angeles supported
SB 215 (Foran) which increases gas taxes by two cents, half or
which goes to the State to finance the State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP); and
WHEREAS, the fund distribution criteria and the county minimum
requirements are denying the allocation of the available revenues
on the basis of need and benefit to the public; and
WHEREAS, despite the huge amount contributed by County drivers,
additional projects in Los Angeles County are precluded from even
being considered under the rules adopted by the California
Transportation Commission; and
WHEREAS, the lengthy delay of the Century Freeway was given
as the excuse for shortchanging Los Angeles County in the past; and
WHEREAS, we are now told the Century Freeway and the large
amount of money the federal government is allocating to that pro-
ject means our other critical projects won't even be considered
for state funding; and
WHEREAS, the allocation of Federal fUnds should not be used to
take away hundreds of millions of dollars that Los Angeles County
needs and that has been collected from our motorists.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the
City of Arcadia does hereby support as a short term solution the
intended flexible application of the County minimum formula as
provided for in SB 215, rather than the inflexible interpretation
qiven that law by the California Transportation Commission; and
