A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
OPPOSING SB 101 (MILLS) AND AB 1246 (INGALLS) WHICH
BILLS PROPOSE RESTRUCTURING OF THE SCRTD BY SEPARATING
THE RAPID TRANSIT AND BUS FUNCTIONS
WHEREAS, SB 101 and AB 1246, now under consideration in the
California Legislature, propose diminishing the representation of the City
Selection Committee members on the Board of Directors of the Southern
California Rapid Transit District by the creation of another transit
organization and restructuring of the District by separating the rapid
transit and bus functions; and
WHEREAS, the creation of another transit organization which does
not provide adequate City Selection Committee representation would not be
in the best interests of the citizens of Los Angeles County residing in
the 75 cities which the present City Selection Committee members represent;
and
WHEREAS, the restructuring of the present Southern California
Rapid Transit District by separating the responsibility for the bus and
rapid transit systems would result in further fragmentation of the public
transportation system, could increase the cost of transit service to
present users of the service and the taxpaying public and, further, could
create a competitive atmosphere between agencies for federal grants and
other funding sources; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Downey that for the aforementioned reasons this Council does hereby oppose
the enactment of SB 101 and AB 1246;
RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the City Clerk is directed to transmit this
resolution to State Legislators representing the City of Downey, to the
authors of SB 101 and AB 1246, members of the California Assembly Transporta-
tion Committee, the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California
Cities and the Contract Cities Association.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 27th day of May, 1975.
