RESOLUTION NO. 1336
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY REQUESTING THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO AMEND
THE COLLIER -UNRUH LOCAL TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
ACT
Local Transportation Development WHEREAS, the Collier-Unruh ment Act was o p p
adopted by the State Legislature and approved by the Governor of the
State of California on July 18, 1963; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Downey, in an endeavor to
avoid future use of property taxes for major street construction, had
previously gone on record as approving in principle, the above act,
because it provides for a 1Q increase in gasoline taxes to be used for
the construction of County roads and City streets; and
WHEREAS, the Act provides that the recipient of funds apportioned
from the increased Gas Tax, shall expend for construction 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, 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 raise their
property taxes in order to provide sufficient funds for the "Matching
Funds ",
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY 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.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of February, 1964.
