A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
SUPPORTING AB 712 (LIU) THAT PROVIDE REPRESENTATION ON THE GOLD
LINE CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY GOVERNING BOARD FOR THE CITIES
ALONG THE GOLD LINE CORRIDOR - PHASE H
WHEREAS, SB 1847 (Schiff) was enacted in 1998 by the legislature and created a single
purpose construction authority to plan, design and construct the light rail line from
downtown Los Angeles to Claremont. Phase I of the "Gold Line" between Los
Angeles and Pasadena opened successfully last summer; and
WHEREAS, San Gabriel Valley cities have been working with the San Gabriel Valley Council
of Governments (SGVCOG) and the construction authority for the last two years
on Phase 11 of the project and it is in the best interest of the San Gabriel Valley
cities to seek legislative clarification regarding governance of the authority for
completion of Phase II of the Gold Line; and
WHEREAS, AB 712 would increase the composition of the construction authority from 5
members to 15 members by adding a board member representative from the City
Councils of the cities of Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale, Azusa, Glendora,
San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, and Claremont; and
WHEREAS, existing law establishes one member from the SGVCOG, AB 712 would replace
the SGVCOG representative with the appointment of one member representing the
San Bernardino Associated Governments since the SGVCOG cities would be
directly represented as noted above; and
WHEREAS, existing law originally established the authority as the "Los Angeles to Pasadena
Metro Blue Line Construction Authority," which was subsequently changed by the
MTA from the Blue Line to the Gold Line, AB 712 would clarify the name of the
construction authority to the Metro Foothills Gold Line Construction Authority.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Rosemead
does hereby support the passage of AB 712 by the California Legislature.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 24th day of February 2004.
