RESOLUTION NO. 5261
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH CONDITIONING CITY'S SUPPORT TO SENATE BILL NO. 693,
A COUNTYWIDE SALES TAX FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 693 (Campbell) if passed, would authorize
the Orange County Transportation Commission to place a Countywide sales
tax of up to 1 percent for transportation purposes on the ballot for
voter consideration; and
Recent experience has demonstrated that very little, if any, of
the funds generated by an additional sales tax would benefit Huntington
Beach; and
The Orange County Transportation Commission' s planning documents
have repeatedly failed to cover transportation deficiencies which leave
Huntington Beach isolated on the east by the Santa Ana River, on the
west by the Naval Weapons Station, and do not provide an effective
transportation link between the 405 Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach, that the City supports SB 693 which would place the
sales tax on the ballot for voter consideration because transportation
funds are badly needed in our community; however, the City will not
support the sales tax increase, if presented to the voters , unless it
can be shown that Huntington Beach residents will benefit from the
increase through adoption of a master plan for financing transportation
measures within the County which includes items of high priority to
Huntington Beach, such as:
Extension of the 57 Freeway to the 405 Freeway,
Beach Boulevard fixed-rail system extended south to Edinger,
Upgrading of the following arterial streets to six lanes:
Adams, Warner, Edinger, Bolsa and Gothard-connection to
Hoover Street,
Construction of left-turn flyovers at:
Beach Boulevard/Edinger Avenue
Beach Boulevard/Warner Avenue
Beach Boulevard/Ellis Avenue
Beach Boulevard/Pacific Coast Highway
Full signal coordination for the following arterials:
Warner-Bolsa Chica to Main Street (Santa Ana)
Bolsa-Bolsa Chica to Main Street (Santa Ana)
Bolsa Chica-Warner Avenue to Imperial Highway
Goldenwest-Pacific Coast Highway to Santa Ana Freeway
Beach Boulevard-Pacific Coast Highway to Whittier Boulevard
Brookhurst-Warner Avenue to La Palma Avenue.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City may support approval of the
tax increase provided all localities are guaranteed that a significant
portion of the funds generated within their corporate limits will be
returned for use in the respective jurisdictions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Huntington
