UNRUH LOCAL TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT
WHEREAS, home rule and local determination have been the cornerstones on
which harmonious and beneficial County- City -State programs have been founded; and

existing Collier -Unruh Local Transportation Development Act impinge on and
restrict the authority and ability of local legislative bodies to direct and
cope with local road and street problems; and
WHEREAS, such interpretations have imposed reports and red tape and
burdensome procedures necessitating the utilization of numerous local agencies
and employees for this non - productive effort; and
WHEREAS, efficiency and economy in State, City, and County highway matters
can be implemented by restoring the full control and authority of expenditures
of highway funds to legislative bodies of the local agencies.
