A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO ASSEMBLY BILL
1709, RELATING TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF GASOLINE
TAX FUNDS.
WHEREAS, gasoline taxes currently being distributed to
Counties for the construction of Master Plan Highways through Cities
is designed to benefit the motoring public rather than to benefit
individual Cities; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1709 would automatically assign to
the City of Los Angeles approximately 39% of the gasoline tax funds now
being distributed to the County of Los Angeles; and
WHEREAS, the formula contained in Assembly Bill 1709 for the
distribution of a major share of the gasoline taxes now being distributed
to the County of Los Angeles is arbitrary and gives no consideration to
the highway needs within the entire County of Los Angeles; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the County Master Plan of
Highways should be completed before there is any change in the formula
for the distribution of gasoline taxes to Counties;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the
City of Azusa that the City Council finds that Assembly Bill 1709 of
the 1971 Session of the California Legislature is not in the public
interest and respectfully requests the members of the Legislature who
represent the City of Azusa to oppose the same; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby
requested to send copies of this resolution to the Hon. Harvey Johnson,
Peter S. Schabarum, H. L.'Richardson and Alan Sieroty, and to the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall certify
to the adoption of this resolution.
Adopted and approved this 17th day of May, 1971.
