RESOLUTION NO. 5701
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE PASSAGE OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA
PROPOSITION 156, THE PASSENGER RAIL AND CLEAN AIR BOND
ACT.
WHEREAS, Proposition 156 is the second in a series of three $1
billion bond measures approved by the State Legislature for
placement on the 1990, 1992, and 1994 ballots; and
WHEREAS, the first of the series, Proposition 108 was approved
by State voters in 1990; and
WHEREAS, nearly $500 million dollars, or one half of the bond
measure is slated for use in Los Angeles County; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that the passage of Proposition 156
would create an additional 170,000 jobs for Southern California
firms involved in rail construction, engineering and related
manufacturing; and
WHEREAS, failure to approve Proposition 156 will result in the
loss of additional State funds since existing and anticipated
revenues would have to be reprogrammed for projects like the Metro
Blue Line extension to Pasadena which expects to receive $316.6
million from State bond funds;
WHEREAS, the Pasadena to Irwindale light rail extension could
be delayed or completely eliminated without the rail bond proceeds;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the city of Arcadia supports the passage of
Proposition 156 to clean the air by building more rail transit in
