CC - 1964 - 21 - Amend Collier-Unruh Local Transportation Development Act• •
RESOLUTION NO. 64-21
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROSEMEAD REQUESTING THE STATE LEGISLATURE
TO AMEND THE COLLIER-UNRUH LOCAL TRANSPORTA-
TION DEVELOPMENT ACT.
WHEREAS, the Collier-Unruh Local Transportation
Development Act was adopted by the State Legislature and
appproved by the Governor of the State of California on July
I8, 1963; and
WHEREAS, the Act provides that the recipient of funds
apportioned from the increased Gas Tax, shall expend for con-
struction and rights of way on the Select System, an additional
amount which shall be derived from sources other than Highway
Users Tax Funds, and these required amounts known as "Matching
Funds," are to be 50% of the apportionment for the fiscal years
1963-64, 1965-66, 1966-67, and increasing on a graduated scale
to 100% of the apportionment in the fiscal year 1969-70; and
WHEREAS, the expenditure of these required "Matching
Funds" will work a hardship on many cities, and the City of
Rosemead in particular, since these funds in great part will
come from the General Funds of the cities, and the expenditure
of these funds may diminish the amounts which can be used for
maintenance and construction of local streets; and may in some
cases, cause cities to be required to levy increased property
taxes in order to provide sufficient funds for the "Matching
Funds."
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the Collier-Unruh Local Transportation
Development Act be amended at the next Session of the State
Legislature to eliminate or to make less burdensome the "Matching
Fund" provisions as now embodied in the Act.
Section 2. That the City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this resolution and cause copies to be sent to our
legislators in the State Legislature, and the League of
California Cities.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 10th day of March,
ATTEST:
1964.
