RESOLUTION NO. 5189
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA RELATING TO LEGISLATION TO REVISE THE
MAYO -BREED FORMULA FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATS
GASOLINE TAXES.
WHEREAS, true State highway needs for the Southern
Counties group, based on the urgency of traffic demands and
the provision of equal State-wide traffic services, are in
excess of 60 percent of the State-wide total; and
WHEREAS, the existing critical traffic congestion,
accidents and fatalities in the Southern Counties area must
be immediately alleviated; and
WHEREAS, the future economic and sociological growth
and development of the 13 Southern Counties is dependent on
the construction of an adequate highway and freeway system;
and
WHEREAS, based on the pertinent indices of population,
vehicle registration, and assessed evaluation, the 13 Southern
Counties provide in excess of 60 percent of the State-wide
highway revenue; and
WHEREAS, the antiquated Mayo -Breed Formula allocates
only 55 percent of the State-wide Highway and Freeway
Construction Funds to the South which curtails the budgeting
of urgently needed projects and eliminates a program of
equitable future facilities in this area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Azusa
endorses a legislative program to amend the Mayo -Breed Formula
to allocate a minimum of 60 percent of the State Highway
Construction Funds to the 13 counties in the Southern group;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk certify to
the adoption of this resolution and transmit a certified copy
thereof to Mr. George W. Wakefield, Coordinator of Southern
California Regional Association of County Supervisors.
Approved and adopted this 6th day of March, 1967.
