RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,

THE CALIFORNIA CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, in 1990 the voters of California passed Proposition 111 and the
requirement that urbanized counties develop and implement a Congestion Management Program
(CMP); and
WHEREAS, the legislature and governor established the specific requirements of the
CMP by passage of legislation which was a companion to Proposition 111 and is encoded in
California Government Code Sections 65088 to 65089.10; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro)
has been designated as the congestion management agency responsible for Los Angeles County's
CMP; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65089.3 allows urbanized counties
to be exempt from the CMP based on resolutions passed by local jurisdictions representing a
majority of a county's jurisdiction with a majority of the county's population; and
WHEREAS, the CMP is outdated and increasingly out of step with current regional,
state, and federal planning processes and requirements, including new state requirements for
transportation performance measures related to greenhouse gas reduction; and
WHEREAS, on June 20, 2018, the Metro Board of Directors directed Metro staff to
work with local jurisdictions to prepare the necessary resolutions to exempt Los Angeles County
from the CMP.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita, California, does
hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the City Council hereby
so finds and determines.
