A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA STRONGLY URGING THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS TO CONTINUE THE PRESENT AID -TO -CITY
PROGRAM FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT PORTION OF THE
HIGHWAYS INCLUDED IN THE MASTER PLAN OF HIGHWAYS
WITHIN THE CITIES OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
WHEREAS, a portion of the Gas Tax Funds are annually allocated
for the maintenance and/or construction of the highways noted on the
County's Master Plan of Highways; and
WHEREAS, a portion of the County's Master Plan of Highways
passes through various cities within the County of Los Angeles; and
WHEREAS, these funds are presently equitably apportioned to
these cities; and
WHEREAS, these funds are urgently needed and required to protect
the existing County Master Plan of Highway system which represents an
investment worth billions of dollars and many years of construction; and
WHEREAS, to neglect the maintenance of this highway system
would not be fiscally sound; and
WHEREAS, the diversion of Gas Tax Funds for Rapid Transit is a
worthy program providing that existing public facilities are not
jeopardized; and
WHEREAS, the Aid -to -Cities Fund can be used for both maintenance
and construction and Highway Through Cities Funds can be used for only
construction and cannot be relied upon for normal operation and
maintenance functions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Azusa as follows:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Azusa does
hereby strongly urge the continuance of the Aid -to -City Program for the
operation and maintenance of that portion of the County's Master Plan
of Highways that are within the cities of the County of Los Angeles.
SECTION 2. That if funding of the Master Plan of the County
Highway System is to be reduced that the Highway Through Cities Program
be reduced rather than the Aid -to -City Program since the Aid -to -City
Program can be used more effectively and efficiently on an annual basis
as a part of the normal city budget process.
SECTION 3. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Los Angeles Division of the
League of California Cities.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 5th day of January, 1976.
