A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIALTO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF REVENUES IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY EXPECTED TO BE DERIVED FROM THE PROPOSED CONTINUATION OF MEASURE I.
WHEREAS, the voters of San Bernardino County passed Measure I in November 1989, and renewed it in 2004, authorizing San Bernardino Associated Governments, acting as the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, to impose a one-half of one percent transactions and use tax for transportation improvements, applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated territory of the County of San Bernardino through April 1, 2040,; and WHEREAS, Measure I has provided funding for numerous transportation projects, including freeways, local roads, major streets, interchanges, the Metrolink commuter train system, public buses, traffic signals, and more; and WHEREAS, the imposition of the one-half of one percent transactions and use tax is set to expire in 2040; and WHEREAS, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, after engagement with private stakeholders and City and County representatives, has prepared an Expenditure Plan for the revenues expected to be derived from the proposed continuation of Measure I, which is anticipated to be placed on the November 3, 2626, ballot; and WHEREAS, the proposed Expenditure Plan for the continuation of Measure I, as well as Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee, and Ballot Question is attached hereto as Exhibits A, B, and C; and WHEREAS, if approved by the voters, the continuation of Measure I would authorize the collection of a one-half of one percent sales tax and generate an estimated $7.5 billion in its first 30 years for local transportation projects; and WHEREAS, if approved by the voters, the continuation of Measure I would not institute a new tax, but continue the existing one-half of one percent sales tax for transportation beyond April 1, 2040; and WHEREAS, revenues raised from the continuation of Measure I would remain in San Bernardino County and could not be allocated by the state or federal government; and WHEREAS, Measure I would provide a long-term funding source to help fight traffic congestion; improve local streets, major roads and highways; and enhance San Bernardino County’s economy by providing construction-related jobs, manufacturing jobs, and an effective transportation system to meet the needs of residents and the business community; and WHEREAS, Public Utilities Code section 180206 requires that the Measure I Continuation Expenditure Plan be approved by the County Board of Supervisors, and a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population residing in incorporated areas.
