RESOLUTION No. 493
A RESOLUTION ENDORSING PROGRAM OF HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDED BY HIGHWAY COMMITTEES OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
COUNTY, ADOPTED MAY 25, 1961 AND SUBSEQUENTLY FORWARDED
TO STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION THROUGH STATE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
WHEREAS . during the past several years, it has been the practice in
most California counties for chamber of commerce committees representing
all segments of said counties to assist the California Highway Commission
by working with the local district of the division of highways in formu-
lating a highway program for improvements within the respective counties;
and
WHEREAS, San Luis Obispo County has served as a good example of such
cooperative effort and has worked closely with the local district and
citizen groups from all parts of the County in developing a practical
program, based on financial feasibility and comparative needs; and'
WHEREAS , on May 25, 1961, the combined highway committees of San
Luis Obispo County, under the chairmanship of Ed Atkinson, met with State
chamber of commerce and state highway officials in formulating a program
for this year and at that time transmitted this set of recommendations
to the California Highway Commission through the State Chamber of Commerce; !
and
WHEREAS, this City Council has confidence that such priorities were
established with due regard to the needs and desires of all segments of
the county and also after clearing with the district headquarters of the
division of highways to determine feasibility;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Arroyo Grande that the program as submitted to the Highway Commission be
officially endorsed and the Commission be urged to oppose any move by
individual interests within the County to place any new projects ahead of
those contained in the highway committee program or assign higher prior-
ities than recommended in said program. Specific reference is made to
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 71 dated May 30, 1961 as amended in the
Assembly June 13, 1961, which resolution we feel would have an adverse
effect on the total county highway program if implemented by the Commission.
