A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION BUDGET
WHEREAS, the State Department of Transportation (Cal Trans)

Cal Trans' six-year highway spending program anticipates
spending within Orange County during the next six years a paltry
2. 6 percent of its gas tax revenues ; and
Orange County has great need for new state highway facili-
ties, reconstruction and rehabilitation of existing highways,
operational and safety improvements , sound walls and sound
I
landscaping throughout the county; and
Orange County' s total share of the 6. 4 billion dollar bud-
get for the next six years is 165 million dollars or 2. 6 percent
of the total,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach hereby expresses its concern over the
state ' s budget proposal and opposes said proposal until a more
equitable share of highway dollars is allocated to Orange County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby di-
rected to transmit a copy of this resolution to the California
Department of Transportation.
