A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
SUPPORTING AB 712 (LIU) WHICH PROVIDES REPRESENTATION ON
THE GOVERNING BOARD FOR THE CITIES ALONG THE PHASE 11
CORRIDOR
WHEREAS, SB 1847 (Schiff) was enacted in 1998 by the legislature and created
a single purpose construction authority to plan, design and construct the Gold Line
from downtown Los Angeles to Claremont. Phase I of the Gold Line between Los
Angeles and Pasadena opened successfully this summer on schedule and below
budget. The San Gabriel Valley cities have been working with the SGVCOG and the
Authority for the last two years on Phase II of the project as defined in state law. It is
in the best interest of the San Gabriel Valley cities to seek legislative clarification
regarding governance of the completion of Phase II of the Gold Line.
WHEREAS, AB 712 would increase the composition of the construction
authority from 5 members to 15 members by adding a board member representative
from the City Councils of the Cities of Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale, Azusa,
Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, and Claremont; and
WHEREAS, existing law establishes one member from the SGVCOG, AB 712
would replace the SGVCOG representative with the appointment of one member
representing the San Bernardino Associated of Governments since the SGVCOG cities
would be directly represented as noted above; and
WHEREAS, existing law established the Los Angeles to Pasadena Metro Blue
Line Construction Authority, and subsequently the MTA changed the name of the
project from the Blue Line to the Gold Line, AB 712 would clarify the name of the
construction authority to the Metro Foothills Gold Line Construction Authority; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa supports AB 712; and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Azusa as
follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Azusa hereby supports the adoption
of AB 712 by the California Legislature.
