A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO O3CAMON~A, CALIFORNIA. URGING APPROVAL FOR MEASURE
"A", A COUNTY-WIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WHEREAS. congestion is rapidly growing and without an ~adequate highway
network. we will see gridlock conditions such as exist in Orange and Los
Angeles Counties; and
~T~EREAS. a sound transportation system which keeps pace with growth is
' vital to securing new jobs for our residents, thereby reducing long commutes;
and
WHEREAS. our local city and county streets are in great need of
· additional revenue for rehabilitation and new construction since current
gasoline taxes are consumed by roadway maintenance costs; and
WHEREAS, state and federal gasoline taxes and other transportation
revenues are, and will continue to be. inadequate to meet our state highway
construction needs, even though we continue to receive our equitable share of
those funds; and
WHEREAS, the state is encouraging counties to adopt transportation
revenues of their own, and is increasingly rewarding those count{as who have
done so; and
WHEREAS, three counties (Santa Clara, Alameda. and Fresno) have
adopted such measures, and others are planning to do so; and
WHEREAS. a one-half cent sales tax for a period of 15 years. to be
spent on a voter-approved program of proj acts. appears to be the most fair and
productive method of local funding; and
WHEREAS. the San Bernardlno Associated Governments (SANBAG) and the
San Bernard~no ~County Board of Supervisors have ~nitiated Measure "A" leading
to a public vote for such transportation needs.·
NOW. THEREFORE. THE RANC~O C~CAMONGA CITY COUNCIL does hereby resolve
to take a position of. support for the proposed county-wide transportation
improvement program to be funded from Measure "A" on the November ballot.
