A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DOWNEY REQUESTING THE STATE DIRECTOR OF
TRANSPORTATION TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE
URBAN FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE BY THE SURFACE
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1978.
WHEREAS, the recently enacted Surface Transportation Assistance
Act of 1978 extended FAU program funding for another four years, and
these newly authorized Urban Funds were made available to the States
in November of 1978, and
WHEREAS, the State's 1978 -79 budget includes sufficient Urban
Funds to cover local agencies' anticipated urban expenditures, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Transportation has chosen not to
release these funds to urban areas pending review of the program
guidelines with the new advisory committee which has yet to be appoint-
ed by the Governor, and
WHEREAS, existing guidelines have provided for the successful
administration of the program for the past five years and are still
in effect, and
WHEREAS, local agencies have developed their transportation
programs in anticipation of these funds being made available, and
inflation is greatly eroding the purchasing power of these funds,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY, does
hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. That the State Director of Transportation is hereby
urgently requested to immediately release Urban Funds made available
by the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1978 so that local
agencies may continue their transportation programs before these
funds are further eroded by inflation.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution and forward copies to the Governor of the State of
California; State Director of Transportation; California Transportation
Commission; the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission; the
League of California Cities; the County Supervisors Association;
State Senator William Campbell and State Assemblyman Bruce Young.
