Statement of the Matter
Due to the anticipated decreases in Gas Tax Revenues and spiraling road
costs, the Board of Supervisors intends to reduce next years County
financial aid to Cities by 50% in the City-County Thoroughfare Program.
This would reduce the financial aid to cities by $550,000.
Since Cities face the same decreased revenues and spiraling costs as the
County and since the County is rapidly being urbanized, it would appear
that the Board's action is inappropriate at this time.
Formal action should be taken to advise the Board of Supervisors of the
Council's feelings on the matter.

Recent staff reports to the Board of Supervisors have advised them of expected
decreases in County gas tax revenues due to the "energy crisis" and of spiral-
ing road materials costs. This has made it necessary to scale down County Road
Fund programs.
On February -20, 1974 a 50% reduction of County Financial Aid to cities for
the construction of City-County Thoroughfares was recommended for the coming
budget year. This would reduce the planned funding to approximately $550.,000.
In order to make County Thoroughfare funds productive, the Board has stated
their intent to limit the term of future Thoroughfare project agreements to
two years. Previous project agreements have allowed cities up to three years
to award a construction contract for a City-County Thoroughfare project from
the time of the execution of the City-County project agreement.
The Board has requested that I notify your city of their intent to reduce
next fiscal year's budgeted Thoroughfare funding and their intent to reduce
the term of future project agreements. The Board has also asked me to report
to then In 3G days any comments your city rpay have in regard to chase intended
actions..
Very truly yours,
F. D. ALESHIRE
