GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA SUPPORTING PROPOSITION
69 ON THE JUNE 2018 BALLOT TO PREVENT NEW
TRANSPORTATION FUNDS FROM BEING DIVERTED FOR
NON-TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES
WHEREAS, California's cities, counties and transportation agencies need
dedicated funding to support transportation infrastructure road safety improvements, fill
potholes, and repair local streets, highways, freeways, bridges and overpasses; and
WHEREAS, there is a statewide backlog of over $130 billion in needed road
repairs, including $73 billion needed for local streets and roads; and
WHEREAS, last year's "Road Repair and Accountability Act" (SB 1 — Beall) will
raise $5 billion annually in long-term, dedicated transportation funding to make road
safety improvements, fill potholes and repair local streets, highways, bridges and
overpasses, with the revenues split equally between state and local government
projects; and
WHEREAS, these transportation revenues should have additional Constitutional
protections to ensure funds are used only for transportation purposes; and
1
WHEREAS, Proposition 69 on the June 2018 ballot would add another layer of
accountability by preventing the State Legislature from diverting or raiding any new
transportation revenues for non-transportation improvement purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Grand Terrace hereby
supports Proposition 69 on the June 2018 ballot to prevent new transportation funds
from being diverted for non-transportation purposes; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Grand
