Jorgensen, City Attorney SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ENDORSING PROPOSITION 42,,THE TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION IMPROVEMENT ACT CAO RECOMMENDATION ADOPT A RESOLUTION ENDORSING PROPOSITION 42, THE TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION IMPROVEMENT ACT, WHICH WILL APPEAR ON THE MARCH 5, 2002 STATEWIDE BALLOT DISCUSSION Christopher McKenzie, Executive Director of the League of Cities, has requested that cities throughout the State endorse Proposition 42, the Transportation Congestion Improvement Act, which will appear on the March 5, 2002 statewide ballot. Proposition 42 would allocate a portion of the existing state sales tax on gasoline to cities and counties for transportation improvements. Cities and Counties will receive 40% of the Proposition 42 revenues. Twenty percent will be earmarked for cities for local street repairs and maintenance. Twenty percent will be earmarked for counties for road repairs and maintenance. Another 20% is provided to public transit agencies, and the remaining 40% goes to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is primarily composed of locally identified projects. The League of California Cities has endorsed Proposition 42 because it would provide a much needed on- going reliable source of funding for streets, roads, and transit projects. Given the uncertainty of the State budget and prior State take-aways of local revenues, Proposition 42 will provide a helpful mechanism in assuring a stable and predictable source of street and transportation revenues. Attached for your information is background material concerning Proposition 42 provided by the League of California Cities. FISCAL IMPACT There would be no fiscal impact to the City as a result of adopting this resolution. ALTERNATIVES Do not adopt resolution. JGJ/sw Attachments: 1. Proposed Resolution 2.

December 2001 Dear Local Government Official, Please join the League of Califomia Cities in supporting Proposition 42, the Transportation Congestion Improvement Act, on the March 5, 2002 statewide ballot. As you may already know, Proposition 42 would allocate a portion of the existing state sales tax on gasoline to cities and counties to be used for transportation improvements. Cities and counties combined will receive 40 percent of the Proposition 42 revenues. Twenty percent of will be earmarked for cities for local street repairs and maintenance. Twenty percent of the revenue will be earmarked for counties for local road repairs and maintenance. Another 20 percent is provided to public transit agencies, and the remaining 40 percent goes to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is primarily composed of locally-identified projects. Proposition 42 is an important measure for all cities and counties as it would provide a much needed on- going reliable source of funding for our streets, roads and other local transportation projects. Proposition 42 is especially important now as many local transportation sales tax measures are set to expire over the next few years. I hope that you and your council will join the League of California Cities and the Yes on Proposition 42 campaign coalition of law enforcement and transportation officials, business, labor unions and taxpayers in supporting this measure. Enclosed please find a sample support form and resolution. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact campaign coalition director Ted Green at (310) 996-2671 (tgreen@woodwardmcdowell.com) or campaign internal education director Jason Barnett at(650) 340-0470 (jbamett@woodwardmcdowell.com).

Let's get moving again! SAFER ROADS - TRAFFIC RELIEF - WITHOUT NEW TAXES Requires the gasoline sales tax-A TAX WE ALREADY PAY AT THE PUMP- be used to improve highways, local roads and mass transit. An annual audit of Prop. 42 funds will be required to help guarantee transportation projects get delivered on time and on budget. Improve Highway, Bridge and Street Safety California's once safe and beautiful highways are now the third most deteriorated roadways in the nation, and growing less safe by the day. More than 6000 California bridges and overpasses are structurally deficient or no longer meet highway safety or design standards. Prop. 42 will provide desperately needed funds to help fix potholes and repair dangerous roads, highways, bridges, intersections and school routes — in every city and county in the state. Speed Up Traffic Relief and Mass Transit Projects Los Angeles has the most congested traffic in the country. San Francisco/Oakland is second, San Diego sixth, and Sacramento, San Jose and San Bernardino/Riverside follow close behind. Prop. 42 guarantees gasoline sales taxes — taxes we already pay — will be used for transportation improvements. It will help speed up the delivery of planned traffic relief projects on highways and local roads, and expand local bus and commuter services, such as VTA in San Jose, Sacramento light rail, MUNI, Green and Blue lines in L.A., the San Diego trolley, BART, Caltrain, Capitol Corridor, Southern California's Metrolink, ACE, and the Coasters in San Diego. Create Jobs and Stimulate the Economy Speeding up transportation projects has the added benefit of creating thousands of new jobs in construction, engineering and related services at a time when we need them the most. Every dollar spent on highway improvements generates about six times that amount in economic benefits.

ALLOCATION OF EXISTING MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL SALES AND USE TAX REVENUES FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES ONLY. LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Requires, effective July 1, 2003, existing revenues resulting from state sales and use taxes on the sale of motor vehicle fuel be used for transportation purposes as provided by law until June 30, 2008. Requires, effective July 1, 2008, existing revenues resulting from state sales and use taxes be used for public transit and mass transportation; city and county street and road repairs and improvements; and state highway improvements. Imposes the requirement for a two-thirds of the Legislature to suspend or modify the percentage allocation of the revenues. Fiscal Impact: Starting in 2008-09, about $1.4 billion in state gasoline sales tax revenues, increasing annually thereafter, would continue to be used for state and local transportation purposes. Proposition 42 Text: Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 4--A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Article XIXB thereto, relating to transportation. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST ACA 4, Dutra. Transportation funding: sales and use tax revenues. The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on the gross receipts from the sale in this state of, or the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of, tangible personal property,. That law requires revenues derived from those taxes to be deposited in the Retail Sales Tax Fund. Existing law requires the balance of that fund remaining after various specified allocations to be allocated to the General Fund. This measure would, for the 2003-04 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, require all moneys that are collected during the fiscal year under the Sales and Use Tax Law, with respect to the sale or use of motor vehicle fuel, and that are required to be transferred to the General Fund pursuant to that law, to instead be transferred to the Transportation Investment Fund. This measure would, for the 2003-04 to 2007-08 fiscal years, inclusive, require moneys in that fund to be allocated for transportation purposes as provided in a specified statute. This measure would, for the 2008-09 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, require moneys in the fund to be allocated only for transportation purposes specified by this measure, and would specify the allowable percentage amount to be allocated for each specified transportation purpose. This measure would allow the Legislature to suspend or modify these requirements under certain circumstances, if the act so providing is approved by 2/3 of the entire membership of each house of the Legislature.
