A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING AN
ACCEPTABLE PROCEDURE FOR ALLOCATION OF 1973
HIGHWAY ACT FUNDS
WHEREAS, the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973 extended the permissable
usage of Federal Aid Urban Systems FAUS) funds beyond simply street and
highway projects and now allows for the purchase of buses; the construction,
reconstruction and improvement of fixed rail facilities, including rolling
stock for fixed rail; and the construction of exclusive or preferential bus,
truck and emergency vehicle routes or lanes; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973 provides that responsible
local officials of an urbanized area can determine whether a percentage of
FAUS funds in their area should be expended on non-highway, public mass
transit or on streets and highways; and
WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation, in its guidelines
on the local involvement required to determine the appropriate procedures
for expenditure of FAUS funds clearly calls for a cooperative process involving
cities, the county, the state, and transit agencies; and
WHEREAS, there is a great deal of confusion as to the meaning and
interpretation of the proposed Urban Systems Procedures distributed to cities
in the Los Angeles County Division of the League; and
WHEREAS, the cities in Los Angeles County should immediately take
initiative along with the County to establish acceptable procedures to protect
the flow of funds amounting to approximately $22 million prior to June 30,
1974, into Los Angeles County; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the League of California Cities has
taken a strong position in support of the direct involvement of cities in the
process of apportioning FAUS funds, rather than simply having cities consulted
in the process, thereby giving cities more control over how those funds will
be spent in their own communities as well as in their region; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California has
proposed a joint committee comprised of nine representatives three each)
appointed by the Division one from Long Beach and two from cities other than
Los Angeles and Long Beach), the City of Los Angeles, and the County of
Los Angeles, thereby assuring that cities do have a direct involvement in
establishing procedures to be approved by the respective cities and the County;

District Director of CALTRANS, the General Manager of SCRTD and SCAG.

Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities; and

so that a report can be distributed to the cities and to Los Angeles County

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that a copy of the Resolution be forwarded to
the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Los Angeles County Division
of the League, the Director of District 7 CALTRANS, and the Director of the
