A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING ARTICLE XXVI
OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION AS IT PERTAINS
TO THE USE OF GASOLINE TAX FUNDS FOR HIGHWAY
PURPOSES ONLY
WHEREAS, the gasoline tax is levied upon highway users to
provide funds for highway facilities; and
The gasoline tax is a special tax over and above general
taxes levied upon motorists, and it would be unfair and in-
equitable to use gasoline taxes for other forms of transportation
or general government purposes; and
California' s excellent system of freeways and highways is of
vital importance to business, industry, and the entire economy
and future development of California; and
The California Freeway and Expressway System adopted by
the legislature in 1959 is less than fifty percent (50%) complete,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it does support the provision of
Article XXVI of the California Constitution which protects gaso-
line tax funds against diversion to other than highway purposes,
and urges that no substantive amendments be made which would change
such constitutional provision.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 15th
day of December 1969
