SUPPORTING SENATE BILL 215 (FORAN)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING
SENATE BILL 215 (FORAN)
WHEREAS, California's gasoline tax was last increased
in 1963; and,
WHEREAS, as a result of rampant inflation and despite
a sixty percent increase in gasoline consumption Statewide since
1963, the purchasing power of the revenues generated by California's
seven cents per gallon Excise Tax is about one-third of what it
was then; and,
WHEREAS, only seven states, including California, have
not increased their gasoline tax since 1963; and,
WHEREAS, the last comprehensive needs study for local
streets and roads in 1978 indicated that a 63 percent revenue
increase was needed to meet the revenue shortfall; and,
WHEREAS, California cities and counties have been
required to supplement gas tax revenues with substantial amounts
of rapidly diminishing local funds in order to provide a reasonable
level of maintenance and improvement to streets and highways;
and,
WHEREAS, California cities and counties are in desperate
need of funds to maintain their streets and highways in a safe
condition; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Juan
Capistrano does endorse legislative proposals that will provide
the necessary financing for streets and highways; and,
WHEREAS, one such legislative proposal, Senate Bill
215, would increase the driver's license fee and other incidental
fees to make these services self-supporting, would recapture that
portion of sales tax on motor fuel that is now being used for
General Fund purposes and would increase fuel taxes by two cents
per gallon.
