A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA,
TAKING A POSITION TO OPPOSE PROPOSITION 6 ON THE NOVEMBER 2018
GENERAL ELECTION, WHICH WOULD REPEAL SB 1 FUNDING FOR
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, SB 1 provides over $5 Billion in transportation funding annually through
increasing the gas tax and vehicle license fees for road repairs and other critical transportation
funding needs; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 61 a ballot initiative for the November 2018 general election
would repeal SB 1 transportation funding; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities opposes Proposition 6, because repealing

improvement projects currently underway throughout the state; and
WHEREAS, the City of Morro Bay would lose approximately $191,000 in FY 18/19 and
at least $2,000,000 over the next 10 years in existing transportation funding should SB 1 be
repealed, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has allocated $191,000 of anticipated SB 1 funding along
with other gas and other tax funding for FY 18/19 work on the City's streets.
