RESOLUTION NO. 97-C116
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO
SB 567 (POLANCO).
WHEREAS, the City of Azusa is represented on the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA) by a representative each from the League of California Cities and our County
Supervisor; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 567, sponsored by Senator Polanco, would remove the County
Supervisors from the MTA Board of Directors and thereby severely reduce the elected
representation of the people of Azusa on the Board; and
WHEREAS, such a diminishment of representation can only create negative impact on
the quality and level of transportation services the citizens of Azusa can expect to receive from
the MTA;
THEREFORE be it resolved that the City Council hereby adopts an "opposed" position
to SB 567 and strenuously urges senator Hilda Solis and Assemblyman Martin Gallegos, on
behalf of their constituents in Azusa, to vigorously oppose this Bill.
FURTHERMORE, in the event that our representatives are unsuccessful in their efforts
to defeat this Bill, we urge them to encourage the Governor to veto SB 567.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of August, 1997.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the City
Council of the City of Azusa at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th day of August 1997,
by the following vote of the Council:
