A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD SUPPORTING LEGIS-
LATION TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS RESULTING
FROM SENATE BILL 300 (SB 300, 1985).
WHEREAS, SB 300, FORAN, approved by the Governor on
October 2, 1985, provided for additional allocations to Cities and
Counties for streets and highways maintenance and reconstruction;
and
WHEREAS, SB 300 further provided that in order to receive
an allocation, an agency must spend not less than its 1984-85
(base year) expenditures for maintenance and reconstruction, not
including the allocation; and
WHEREAS, if the State Controller determines that a City
or County expended less than its 1984-85 base year amount, its
allocation pursuant to Section 2104 or 2107 gas taxes are reduced
during the next fiscal year by the amount that its expenditures
are less than the base year amount; and
WHEREAS, there are 112 cities and 8 counties that did not
meet their base year 1984-85 expenditure requirements and, there-
fore, are in jeopardy of losing Section 2104 or 2107 gas tax allo-
cations for the 1986-87 fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the designation of the 1984-85 fiscal year as
the base year is unfair, due to the year-to-year fluctuations of
monies spent for street purposes by local agencies; and in any
case, Sections 2104 and 2107 gas taxes which local agencies have
received and depended on for 25 years should not be curtailed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Bakersfield hereby urges the legislature to address
problems resulting from SB 300 clean up (or Section 2127 of the
Streets and Highways Code) to accomplish the following:
1. Remow~ from the base-year calculation community
block grant funds, federal revenue sharing and state transporta-
tion assistance funds from the Transportation Planning and
Development Account.
2. Permit cities and counties which filed a letter pur-
suant to AB 3228 (1986) to use 1983-84 as its base year, if the
local agency cannot meet the maintenance of effort requirement
because of a high base year in 1984-85.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that because of budgetary con-
straints, time is of the essence.
