DATE: January 22, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Release of Federal Transportation Funds
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct the County Administrator to prepare letters to Congressman Miller, and other
appropriate officials, for signature by the Chairwoman requesting that prompt action
be taken by the United States House of Representatives to release federal gas tax
funds for highway projects in California.
BACKGROUND:
The allocation of some $7 billion in federal highway funds are held up in the United
States House of Representatives because of a dispute over how the funds should be
allocated. This results in no further funds being available to continue work on
the renovation of Interstate 80, the construction of the John Knox Freeway, and the
overhaul of the Interstate 680/Highway 24 interchange. Legislation which will be
carried by Congressman Glenn Anderson of California is essential in order to free up
the money. We have already talked to Congressman Miller's Office. Thiey have promised
to look into the situation and get back to us in a day or so. Letters urging that
the dispute be settled should be sent to Congressman Miller, Congressman Anderson,
and other appropriate members of the House of Representatives and Senate.
