AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach approving the

• WHEREAS, Orange County's serious traffic and transportation problems
threaten the quality of life throughout our county; and
WHEREAS, maintaining and improving our aging transportation system is
essential to preserving our standard of living and to developing an environment
where business, industry, and commerce can prosper and homeowners' individual
investments can be protected; and
WHEREAS, the State of California and the federal government have said
emphatically that they cannot solve Orange County's transportation problems
alone and that all California cities and counties must take steps to help solve
their transportation problems at the local level; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Transportation Commission, acting as Orange
County's Local Transportation Authority, is requesting the City of Newport Beach
to join with the County of Orange and other Orange County cities to support the
placement of a Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Plan before the voters
of Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach recognizes it ultimately will be
the decisions of Orange County voters to determine if they wish to approve a one
half cent sales tax increase to finance the transportation projects contained in
the Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Newport Beach City Council
has approved the Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Plan for the purpose
of placing this matter before the voters of Orange County.
