RESOLUTION NO. 757
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
SUPPORTING LEGISLATION TO REVISE THE MAYO -BREED FORMULA
FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATE GASOLINE TAXES
WHEREAS, true State highway needs for the Southern Counties group,
based on the urgency of traffic demands and the provision of equal State-
wide traffic services, are in excess of 60 percent of the State-wide total;
and
WHEREAS, the existing critical traffic congestion, accidents and
fatalities in the Southern Counties area must be immediately alleviated; and
WHEREAS, the future economic and sociological growth and development
of the 13 Southern Counties is dependent on the construction of an adequate
highway and freeway system; and
WHEREAS, based on the pertinent indices of population, vehicle
registration, and assessed evaluation, the 13 Southern Counties provide in
excess of 60 percent of the State-wide highway revenue; and
WHEREAS, the antiquated Mayo -Breed Formula allocates only 55 percent
of the State-wide Highway and Freeway Construction Funds to the South which
curtails the budgeting of urgently needed projects and eliminates a
program of equitable future facilities in this area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress endorses a legislative program to amend the Mayo -Breed Formula to
allocate a minimum of 60 percent of the State Highway Construction Funds
to the 13 counties in the Southern Group, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk be directed to transmit
copies of this Resolution to the State Legislative Representatives from
this area.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress, at a
