Proposition 42 is a constitutional dedication of the sales tax revenues on gasoline to transportation purposes. Currently the state levies two tyPes of taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel: · An excise tax of 18 cents on each gallon of gasoline and diesel fuel. · A sales tax on the sales of gasoline and diesel fuel. The statewide rate is 6 percent. Revenues from the state excise tax on gasoline and diesel fuel used on public roads total about $3 billion a year. These revenues are dedicated to transportation purposes. Revenues from most of the state sales tax on diesel fuel are also used for transportation. However most of the revenues from the state sales tax on gasoline have historically been used for various general purposes, including education, health, social services and corrections. Only a small portion of the state gasoline sales tax revenues have been used for transportation. Proposition 42, before the voters in March 2002, will provide a significant injection of new revenue for the entire transportation system and for a variety of multi-modal purposes. H/cc-forms/agdastmt. doc COPIES TO: ITEM NO. Beginning in 2008-09 and every year thereafter, funds generated from the sales tax on gas would be allocated 40% to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), 20% to counties for maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction and storm damage, 20% to cities for the same purposes, and 20% to transit. Revenue generated from the sales tax on gasoline is projected to reach $1.4 billion by 2008-09, meaning the STIP would receive approximately $560 million, counties and cities $280 each and transit $280 annually. Proposition 42 allows the 40/20/20/20 formula above to be changed, but only by a two-thirds-vote of the Legislature. Proposition 42 also protects funds that were committed to the Govemor's Traffic Congestion Relief Plan, according to AB 2928 (Chapter 91, Statutes 2000). The funds from AB 2928 would be allocated from 2003-04 until 2007-08. This protection would be locked in from the year 2003-2004. The chart below indicates the projected revenue distribution for the City of Dublin. Although AB 2928 does not go into effect until FY 2003-2004, revenues will be borrowed from the State Highway Account (SHA) and paid to cities during FY 2001-2003. To date the City has received two quarterly payments for a total of $48,660.62. Please note that there is no funding shown in FY 2006-2008 due to the repayment of the loan to the SHA. I FY 2001-02 FY 2002-03 FY 2003-04 FY 2004-05 FY 2005-06 FY 2006-07.[FY 2007-08 FY 2008-09 1 v $ 81,769 $ 91,990 $ 101,075 $ 110,729 $ 120,382 $ - ~$ - $ 306,633 Proposition 42 does contain some flexibility for the Govemor to suspend the shift to transportation for a fiscal year if both of the following conditions are met: 1) The Governor issues a proclamation that "declares that the transfer of revenues will result in a significant negative fiscal impact on the range of functions of government funded by the General Fund of the State." 2) The Legislature by a two-thirds vote in a stand-alone bill concurs with the suspension. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council adopt the Resolution supporting Proposition 42. RESOLUTION NO. - 02 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 42 WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help make our roads safer and reduce traffic without higher taxes by requiring the gasoline sales tax we already pay to improve mass transit, highways and local roads; and WHEREAS, Proposition 42 is based on the principle that taxes paid at the gas pump should be used for transportation purposes; and: WHEREAS, traffic is paralyzing travel with Los Angles now ranked the number one most congested urban area in the country, San Francisco/Oakland second, San Diego sixth and Sacramento, San Jose and San Bemadino/Riverside following close behind; and WHEREAS, with our neglected transportation system needing attention, California has the most deteriorated roads in the nation and more that 6,000 of our bridges and overpasses are structurally deficient or no longer meet highway safety or design standards; and WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will provide a stable and ongoing source of transportation funding that will make it possible to plan for our future transportation needs; and WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will guarantee funds to every city and county to help fix potholes and repair dangerous road conditions; and WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help speed up highway safety and traffic relief projects, and expand and improve mass transit systems; and WHEREAS, all Proposition 42 projects will be subject to an annual audit and standard accounting practices to ensure they are delivered on time and on budget; and WHEREAS, by speeding up transportation projects thousands of new construction and other jobs will be creat&d, our economy will be stimulated and every dollar invested in our highways will result in almost six times that in economic benefits.

This measure would, for the 2008-09 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, require moneys in the fund to be allocated only for transportation purposes specified by this measure, and would specify the allowable percentage amount to be allocated for each specified transportation purpose. This measure would allow the Legislature to suspend or modify these requirements under certain circumstances, if the act so providing is approved by 2/3 of the entire membership of each house of =he Legislature.
