A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LYNWOOD URGING THE LEGISLATURE TO AMEND SB3p0
, WHEREAS, SB300, FORAN, approved by the Governor on
October 2, 1985, provided for additional allocations to Cities
and Counties for streets and highways maintenance and
reconstruction, and
WHEREAS, SB300 further provides that in order to
receive an sllocation, an agency must spend not less t,han its
1984-85 (base year) expenditures for maintenance and
reconstruction not including the allocation, and
WHEREAS, if the State Controller determines that a City
or County expended less than its 1984-85 base year amount, its
allocation pursuant to section 2104 or 210~ gas taxes shall be
reduced during the next fiscal year by the amount that its
expenditures are less than the base year amount, and
WHEREAS, there are 112 Cities, and 8 Counties that did
not meet their base year 1984-85 expenditure requirements, and
therefore are in jeopardy of loosing 2104 or 2107 gas taxes
allocations for the 1986-87 fiscal year, and
WHEREAS, the designation of the 1984-85 fisr,al year as
the base years is unfair, due to the year-to-year fluctuations of
, monies spent for street purposes by local agencies; and in any
case, 2104 or 2107 gas taxes which local agencies have received
and depended on for 25 years should not be curtailed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LYNWOOD hereby urges the legislature to amend SB300 (
or sec. 2127 of the Streets and Highways Code) to accomplish the
following:
{1) Al1ow the local agency to use an average of years
for the base year instead of the 1984-85 fiscal year.
(2) Delete the provisions for the reduction of 2104 or
2107 gas tax funds as a penalty for not meeting
the expenditure requirements.
(3) Since some cities have not spent their alloeations
because it may become a liability - allow more
time for expenditure of the allocations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that because of budgetary
constraints, time is of the essence.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 21st day of
' _Anril , 1987.
