was adopted at the 1963 Legislative Session to assist in the
construction of critical deficiencies in major City streets

proved the imposition of this tax as a request from local
governments for the State collection of local funds for local
improvements with the State levying, collecting, and apportion-
ing the funds on behalf of Counties and Cities; and
WHEREAS, the State, Counties, and Cities have iden-
tical goals in constructing an integrated system to serve as
a feeder system between State highways; and
WHEREAS, all involved levels of government are de-
sirous of minimizing the procedural delays in the use of these
funds with due regard for the responsibility imposed under the
Act; and

be commended for its cooperation in working with local govern-
ments in effectively expending previous State Gas Tax Funds

for the use of the Collier -Unruh funds; and
WHEREAS, Cities and County Governments within San
Diego County have fully reviewed the provisions of the Collier -
Unruh Act and the proposed procedural policy for administration
of this Act; and
WHEREAS, the City and County representatives have ex-
pressed concern over the interpretation of the matching funds
provisions. -which could alter the implementation of the Bill by
preventing cities with the greatest need from utilizing funds
as intended; and

established are unduly restrictive, it is therefore desirable
that special conditions of the locality be considered as
acceptable criteria for a continuing variance from the State-
wide standards;

tives of the Department of Public Works be commended for their
cooperation with local government officials in developing the
administration of this Act and that they be encouraged to fur-
