"TRANSPORTATION TAXES AND FEES LOCKBOX AND
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT EXEMPTION AMENDMENT"
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, California's cities, counties and transportation agencies need
dedicated funding to support transportation infrastructure road safety improvements, fill
potholes, and repair local streets, highways, freeways, bridges and overpasses; and,
WHEREAS, there is a statewide backlog of over $130 billion in needed road
repairs, including $73 billion needed for local streets and roads; and,
WHEREAS, last year's "Road Repair and Accountability Act" (SB 1 — Beall) will
raise $5 billion annually in long-term, dedicated transportation funding to make road
safety improvements, fill potholes and repair local streets, highways, bridges and
overpasses, with the revenues split equally between state and local government projects;
and,
WHEREAS, these transportation revenues should have additional Constitutional
protections to ensure funds are used only for transportation purposes; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 69 on the June 2018 ballot would add another layer of
accountability by preventing the State Legislature from diverting or raiding any new
transportation revenues for non-transportation improvement purposes.

hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1: The City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby supports Proposition 69 on
