CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING MODIFICATION
OF THE MAYO-BREED FORMULA.
WHEREAS, California's highway improvement program has been
among the finest in the nation; and,
WHEREAS, the allocation of State Highway Funds under the
Mayo-Breed formula has facilitated a generally uniform improve-
ment of highways in the various sections of the State, even
though there remain to be eliminated, in all sections of the
State, many millions of dollars in highway deficiencies; and
WHEREAS, the future economic and sociological growth
and development of all parts of California is dependent on
the construction of an adequate highway and freeway system; and
WHEREAS, California is and should be one economic and
political entity, not divided on an arbitrary geographical
basis; and,
WHEREAS, there is an enormous amount of person'al and com-
mercial travel which traverses the highway system from and to
the "northern" and ~'southern" areas of the State and which
demands adequate roads throughout the journey; and,
WHEREAS, there are,many congested and dangerous highways
in the "northern" sections, as well as in the "southern"
section, which have existed in that condition for many years,
such as many sections of E1 Camino Real, Junipero Serra Freeway,
Bay Shore Freeway, Skyline Freeway, Route 186, etc.; and
WHEREAS, the dollar amount of deficiencies in the "northern"
are presently is proportionately higher than that for the
"southern" area, relative to the present 55 - 45 allocation of
State Highway Funds; and
WHEREAS, legislation has been introduced at the 1968
Session of the Legislature to revise the Mayo-Breed formula
so as to give 60 per cent of State Highway Funds to the
"southern" area and 40 per cent to the "northern" area; and
WHEREAS, this would reduce the available highway funds
in the "northern" area by over $30,000,000 annually, which
would create intolerable delays to badly needed construction;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of South San Francisco that there should be no revision
of the Mayo-Breed formula which would change the basically
equitable 55 - 45 apportionment of State Highway Funds which
has for many years permitted highways in all parts of the State
to achieve a uniform state of development; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any consideration by the
Legislature of a proposed change in the Mayo-Breed formula be
accompanied by a full and complete hearing of the sentiments
of all parties involved; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall direct
a copy of this resolution to Governor Ronald Reagan; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution
shall be directed to the Transportation Committees of the
Assembly and the Senate, and to Senator Richard Dolwig,
Assemblyman Leo Ryan and Assemblyman Carl Britschgi.
I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was
regularly introduced and adopted by the City Council of the
regular
June 19 68
City of South San Francisco at a
