RESOLUTION ENDORSING A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
TO AMEND 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 popu-
lation, vehicle registration, and assessed valuation, the
13 Southern Counties provide in excess of 60 percent of the
State-wide highway revenue, and
WHEREAS, the antiquated Mayo-Breed Formula allo-
cates 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 Huntington Beach endorses a legis-
lative program to amend the Mayo-Breed Formula to allocate
a minimum of 60 percent of the State Highway Construction
