Mr. Gunn informed the Council that according to a letter received from the office of Supervisor Pete Schabarum, dated June 26, 1972, the State Director of Public Works has recommended that the currently apnrorriated Federal funds for the Urban Highway Program be allocated to the 24 counties within whose boundaries urban areas exist. In accord with this concept, in order to avoid "red tape" the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors has established Procedures to implement the program in the Los Angeles area. It is recommended that Council accept alternative two of the Board of Supervisors which is as follows: 2. Each city which does not choose to identify projects for fundinn under this program can receive one-half of its theoretical urban fund apportionment (based on population) in County Gas Tax funds. For your city, this would amount to $16,796 for the first year°s apportionment, and this amount will be included in the 1972/73'County Road Department budget. These funds can~be used for the same purpose as the ATC funds we presently allocate to cities. Many of our smaller cities will find this alternative as a means of circumventing the "red tape" connected with the program which tends to use up a large share of the apportionment.
