Collier urging the City Council to adopt a resolution opposing any diversion of

somewhat controversial in that several of the larger cities have proposed that
Gasoline Tax funds could be appropriately used for rapid transit and other purposes.

would divert Gasoline Tax monies to educational purposes would definitely be in
opposition to the intent of the Gasoline Tax, which was enacted to provide funds
for highway facilities~
At the request of Councilman Harvey, the City Manager reviewed what had transpired
at a previous meeting of the City Council regarding this subject, and indicated
that the Council did not go in record in opposition due to the fact that they
felt that there might be some additional uses which would be appropriate for Gas Tax
monies.
The City Manager indicated that this resolution would not have a significant
impact on the City of Cypress, as the monies which the City receives are used
for street and highway improvements,
In =esponse to an inquiry from Councilmere Roberrs, the City Attorney indicated that
should the bills pass, funds would immediately be available for air pollution,
rapid transir, and a proportion of the funds allocated for educational purposes.
The City Manager suggested that the Council might consider going on record in
opposiulon to Assembly Bill 1320, which would be in opposition to the original
intent of the Gasoline Tax.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilhum Roberrs and seconded by Councilman
Kenode that the City Manager prepare a resolution directed specifically in opposition
to Senate Bill 1320, and to authorize the City Manager to transmit copies of

that the scalloping was approved by the Planning Department and the Public
Works Department in conjunction with the Urban Townscape Plan. He further
indicated that the Public Works Department did agree to this matter as it
would affect such a small area, which could easily be corrected, should it
become necessary to do so.
The Planning Director stated that this item was agreed upon by the Planning
Comission and originally accepted by the Larwin Company. He explained that the
new treatment was to be a trial in the particular area. In response to an inquiry

would not affect the traffic lanes, and that the Orange County Road Department

curb line.
