Item 8
Meeting Date 9/10/85
ITEM TITLE: Resolution / Supporting SB 300 (Foran) Dealing with
Transportation Finance
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorn- i (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
This resolution would advise our state representatives of the City's support
of SB 300 (Foran) the Transportation Finance bill.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
At the August 27, 1985 meeting, the City Council voted in favor of the
recommendation of the Legislative Committee to support SB 300. This bill
provides $125 million for city and county street and road repair, maintenance
and reconstruction. Funding is derived from settlement of a lawsuit against
the federal government for Outer Continental Shelf oil drilling.
While it is better to fund transportation through a dedicated source of
revenues such as the gas tax, SB 300 represents the "art of the possible" and
would address an undeniable problem, i.e. the condition of streets and roads,
throughout the State of California.
