Resolution No. 1093RESOLUTION NO. 1093
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL 1320 WHICH PROPOSES TO DIVERT
GASOLINE TAXES TO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.
WHEREAS, legislation in the form of Assembly Bill 1320 has been introduced in
the State Legislature which proposes to divert funds from the State Gasoline Tax
for the support of higher education; and
WHEREAS, the gasoline tax was initially levied upon highway users of the State
of California to provide funds for highway facilities; and
WHEREAS, the gasoline tax is a special tax over and above general taxes levied
upon motorists and would be unfair and unequitable to use gasoline taxes for support
of higher education purposes; and
WHEREAS, California's excellent system of freeways and highways is of vital
importance to business, industry, agriculture, recreation, and the entire economy
and future development of California; and
WHEREAS, the State counties and cities are critically short of funds to expand
and improve the highway facilities throughout the State to meet the tremendous
growth demands for more and better transportation.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
opposes Assembly Bill 1320 and any other legislation that might be introduced
which would divert gasoline taxes in support of educational purposes. Further,
the City Council requests that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
appropriate State legislators and the League of California Cities.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
meeting held on the 27th day of July, 1970.
