Res 90-102RESOLUTION NO. 90- 102
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
IN SUPPORT OF
PROPOSITIONS 108 AND 111
WHEREAS, the State of California faces monumental challenges -
meeting dramatically increased law enforcement and public safety
needs, addressing spiraling health care costs, coping with
unprecedented population growth, managing traffic congestion and
teaching our children the skills necessary to compete in the modern
workforce; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 111 would alter the government spending
limit to allow state and local governments greater flexibility in
making use of already collected tax dollars generated by
California's strong economy to address these needs; and
WHEREAS, it would allow the state to increase user fees - a
5-cent per-gallon fuel tax increase this year and an additional
1-cent for each of the next four years to provide increased funding
for maintenance and improvement of highway and transit projects
without reducing funds for other critical programs; and
WHEREAS, basic funding guarantees provided to public schools
on the November 1988 ballot are retained; and
WHEREAS, without a change in the government spending limit, it
will be impossible to maintain the generally high level of
education, transportation, health services, law enforcement, senior
programs and other vital services to the residents of California;
and
WHEREAS, reduction in the state's traffic congestion will
require substantial investments in alternative methods of
transportation in the expansion and construction of transit
facilities. The June 1990 ballot also contains a $1 billion
general obligation bond for urban, commuter and intercity rail
projects - including BART, MetroRail in Los Angeles, and urban
light rail to address this need.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY OF POWAY hereby supports the passage
of Propositions 111, the Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending
Limitation Act of 1990 and Proposition 108, the Passenger Rail and
Clean Air Bond Act of 1990 on the June 5, 1990 ballot.
