A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA
URGING THE ALLOCATION OF A 14INIMUM OF SIXTY PER CENT OF
STATE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION FUNDS TO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
WHEREAS, true State highway needs for the Southern Counties group,
based on the urgency of traffic demands and the provision of equal State-
wide traffic service, are in excess of 60 per cent of the State-wide total;
and
WHEREAS, the existing critical traffic congestion, accidents and
fatalities in the Southern area must be immediately alleviated; and
WHEREAS, the future economic and sociological growth and develop-
ment of the 13 Southern Counties is dependent on the construction of an
adequate highway and freeway system; and
WHEREAS, based on the pertinent indices of population, vehicle
registration, and assessed valuation, the 13 Southern Counties provide in
excess of 60 percent of the State-wide highway revenue; and
WHEREAS, the antiquated Mayo -Breed Formula allocates only 55 percent
of the State-wide Highway and Freeway Construction Funds to the South which
curtails the budgeting of urgently needed projects and eliminates a program
of equitable future facilities in this area;
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa endorses a legislative program to amend the Mayo -Breed Formula
as proposed in Assembly Bill 1320 to provide a minimum of 60 percent of the
State Highway Construction Funds to the South, and requests its representa-
tives in the State Legislature to actively support such a program.
