1 RESOLUTION NO. 87-286
2 RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CO~10N COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO URGING APPROVAL FOR MEASURE A, A COUNTYWIDE
3 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
4 WHEREAS, congestion is rapidly growing and without an ade-
5 quate highway network, we will see gridlock conditions such as
6 exist in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, and;
7 WHEREAS, a sound transportation system which keeps pace
8 with growth is vital to securing new jobs for our residents,
9 thereby reducing long commutes, and;
10 WHEREAS, state and federal gasoline taxes and other trans-
11 portation revenues are, and will continue to be, inadequate to
12 meet our state highway construction needs, and;
13 WHEREAS, the state is encouraging counties to adopt trans-
14 portation revenues of their own, and is increasingly rewarding
15 those counties who have done so, and;
16
WHEREAS, three counties (Santa Clara, Alameda, and Fresno)
17 have adopted such measures, and others are planning to do so, and,
18
WHEREAS, a one-half cent sales tax for a period of 15 years
19 to be spent on a voter-approved program of projects, appears to
20 be the most fair and productive method of local funding, and;
21 WHEREAS, the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG)
22 and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors have initiated
23 Measure "A" leading to a public vote for such transportation need .
24 NOW, THEREFORE, the Mayor and Common Council of the City of
25 San Bernardino do hereby resolve to take a position of support
26 for the proposed countywide transportation improvement program
27 to be funded from Measure "A" on the November ballot.
