A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING PROPOSITION
69 ON THE JUNE 2018 BALLOT
WHEREAS, California's cities, counties, and transportation agencies need
dedicated funding to support transportation infrastructure, complete 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, the "Road Repair and Accountability Act" (SB 1 — Beall) of 2017 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, the City supported the approval of SB 1; and
WHEREAS, these transportation revenues should have additional Constitutional
protections to ensure funds are used only for transportation purposes; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 69 on the June 2018 ballot would add another layer of
accountability by preventing the state legislature from diverting or raiding new
transportation revenues for non-transportation purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Moorpark hereby supports
Proposition 69 on the June 2018 ballot to prevent new transportation funds from being
