A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, IN SUPPORT OF
PROPOSITION 42
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help make our roads safer and
reduce traffic without higher taxes by requiring the gasoline
sales taxes we already pay be used to improve mass transit,
highways and local roads; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 is based on the principle that taxes
paid at the gas pump should be used for transportation purposes;
and
WHEREAS, traffic is paralyzing travel with Los Angeles now
ranked the number one most congested urban area in the country,
San Francisco /Oakland second, San Diego sixth and Sacramento, San
Jose and San Bernardino /Riverside following close behind; and
WHEREAS, with our neglected transportation system needing
attention, California has the third worst deteriorated roads in
the nation and more than 6000 of our bridges and overpasses are
structurally deficient or no longer meet highway safety or design
standards; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will provide a stable and ongoing
source of transportation funding that will make it possible to
plan for our future transportation needs; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will guarantee funds to every city
and county to help fix potholes, repair dangerous road conditions
and improve the safety of children walking or biking to school;
and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help speed up highway safety and
traffic relief projects, and expand and improve mass transit
systems; and
WHEREAS, all Proposition 42 projects will be subject to an
annual audit and standard accounting practices to ensure they are
delivered on time and on budget; and
WHEREAS, by speeding up transportation projects thousands of
new construction and other jobs will be created, our economy will
be stimulated and every dollar invested in our highways will
result in almost six times that in economic benefits.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council hereby expresses its
support of the passage of Proposition 42.
