A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
OOSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING PROPOSITIONS
108 AND 111 IN THE JUNE 5, 1990, ELECTION.
WHEREAS, Orange County cities have experienced tremendous economic
and population growth during the past two decades, along with worsening
traffic congestion; and
WHEREAS, the Gann Spending Limit has resulted in a funding shortage
for most of the State's vital programs, including transportation improve-
ments; and
WHEREAS, Costa Mesa has collected millions of dollars each year that
it cannot spend, resulting in underfinanced public services; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 111 would revise the spending limit calculations
for local government and the State, allowing the limit to be adjusted
annually at a rate to keep pace with the economic and population growth, -
and
WHEREAS, Proposition 111 could exclude gas taxes from the State
Gann Limit, allowing the State to raise new gas tax monies which should be
used exclusively for local transportation system improvements, and funds
for which local governments can compete through creation of Congestion
Management Plans; and
WHEREAS, passage of Propositions 108 and 111 would allow California
to start mitigating the negative impacts of traffic congestion, expand
public services, improve the quality of life, and create more productive
and competitive conditions for business in Orange County and the State;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa does hereby support Proposition 108 and Proposition 111, to be
voted on by the electorate on June 5, 1990.
