RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES 10 STUDY THE
PROBLEM CREATED BY LACK OF FUNDS FOR STATE OF
CALIFORNIA RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS
WHEREAS, the California Division of Highways
must, of necessity, hold public hearings to determine loca-
tion of future freeways and rights -of -way thereto far in
advance of actual acquisition; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that a time lag ex-
ists in order to permit processing of freeway agreements
and to coordinate planning by all agencies concerned; and
WHEREAS, the interim period between route adopt-
ion by the State Highway Commission and actual acquisition
can be five to ten years; and
WHEREAS, said interim period causes a hardship on
the citizens of each and every city in that the citizen is
unable to develop his property to the highest and best use
or to sell his property to the State; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Interstate System has first
priority for highway acquisition and construction thereby
severely limiting the funds available for right-of-way ac-
quisition within adopted non -interstate systems; and
WHEREAS, land is appreciating within these non -
interstate systems thereby causing additional costs to ac-
crue to each and every taxpayer within the State.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of National City, California, that the League of
California Cities convened in general session at their Annual
Conference adopt a resolution urging funding actions by ap-
propriate committees of the State Legislature.
ATTEST:
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 1st
