A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY SUPPORTING
THE CONCEPT OF NON - DIVERSION OF MOTOR
VEHICLE AND GASOLINE TAX FUNDS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DOES RESOLVE:
WHEREAS, special taxes on automobiles, licensing, and
gasoline purchases, have traditionally been devoted exclusively
to improvement of streets, roads and highways; and
WHEREAS, such restrictions have been supported on the
proposition that the benefits derived from the taxes imposed
should be manifested in the amenities of roadway travel; and
WHEREAS, it has now been suggested that a portion of
such funds be diverted to rapid transit facilities; and
WHEREAS, this City Council feels that such diversion
would be a poor precedent, would open the door to other
diversions, and would dilute the benefit theory of such
special taxes.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Temple
City does hereby urge the State Legislature to reject any
diversion or impairment of funds derived from motor vehicle
registration, in lieu taxes, vehicle licensing, gasoline
taxes, or sales tax on gasoline purchases; and that such
funds be restricted to street, road and highway improvement.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 20th day of June , 1967.
