A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
OPPOSING EXPENDITURE OF COUNTY GAS TAX FUNDS FOR DAMAGE
CLAIMS IN UNIWORPORATED AREAS FROM FUNDS WHICH MAY BE
USED FOR STREET CONSTRUCTION WITH CITIES.
WHEREAS, Counties receive a proportionate share of State collected
gas tax funds which are allocated primarily for construction, reconstruction
and maintenance of streets and highways; and
WHEREAS, existing street construction needs in the cities within Los
Angeles County are immediate and apparent, and cities are struggling to keep
abreast of emerging street construction needs caused by radip growth; and
WHEREAS, the County of Los Angeles presently subvents to cities a portion
of highway users funds which it receives from the State and has under considera-
tion a plan for sharing more of its State gas taxes with cities on the basis of
need within incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County; and
WHEREAS, diversion of these funds from current and proposed County programs
within cities would postpone critical street construction projects and disrupt
transportation planning within cities;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Downey does vigorously
oppose the use of County Gas Tax Funds to pay damage claims arising out of
suits filed by property owners in the unincorporated Portuguese Bend Area of

SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution
and cause a. certified copy to be forwarded to the Board of Supervisiors of the
County of Los Angeles.
