BACKGROUND
Each year, the County of Los Angeles sets aside a portion of its Gas Tax Funds
to assist cities in funding roadway projects which would also improve overall
County traffic circulation. The program is purely discretionary and is called
Aid to Cities. Funds are limited for use for signalization, right-of-way
acquisition, congestion management projects, and road construction projects
which are of general County interest and regional significance.
Projects 1, 2, and 3 listed on Attachment "A" are currently budgeted with City
funds. The use of the Aid to City's Funds requested will allow the City to
reallocate currently budgeted funds to the widening of the south side of
Valencia Boulevard at Bouquet Canyon Road, to facilitate through traffic and
right turns on the west approach.
Adopt Resolution No. 91-25 requesting an allocation and payment of County aid to
City's fund.
