A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
RELATING TO LEGISLATION TO REVISE THE MAYO-BREED FORMULA
FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATE GASOLINE TAXES.
WHEREAS, 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 sixty per cent (60%) of the
state-wide total; and
WHEREAS, the existing critical traffic congestion, accidents and
facilities in the southern counties area must be immediately
alleviated; and
WHEREAS, the future economic and sociological growth and development
of the cities in the thirteen southern counties is dependent on the
construction of an adequate highway and freeway system; and
WHEREAS, based on the pertinent indices of population, vehicle
registration, and assessed valuation, the thirteen southern counties
area of Southern California provides in excess of sixty per cent
(60%) of the state-wide highway revenue; and
WHEREAS, the antiquated Mayo-Breed Formula allocates only fifty-
five per cent (55%) of the state-wide highway and freeway construc-
tion funds to the South which curtails the budgeting of urgently
needed projects and eliminates a program of equitable future facili-
ties in this area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City
of Seal Beach, California, A Charter City, supports a legislative
program to amend the Mayo-Breed Formula to allocate a minimum of
sixty per cent (60%) of the State Highway Construction Funds to the
thirteen county area in the southern part of the State, and requests
each Board of Supervisors and each city council in the thirteen
southern counties affected to actively support such a program.
