MEETING OF
INFORMATION MARANA
DATE: January 19, 1999
AGENDA ITEM:
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Michael C. Hein, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 99 -11: Request for Further Discussion with the Arizona Department of
Transportation Regarding a More Equitable Distribution of State and Federal
Transportation Funding
DISCUSSION:
The Pima Association of Governments (PAG) has requested each of its jurisdictions to support
by letters and resolutions PAG's request to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT)
for a more equitable allocation of state and federal transportation resources and the need for
additional statewide funding.
Attached is support material and correspondence from the Maricopa Association of
Governments and the Pima Association of Governments to representatives of ADOT. Also
attached is a proposed resolution modeled after the City of Tucson's resolution. The resolution
suggests more cooperation of all agencies and the exhaustion of other resources before
becoming overly critical of ADOT's distribution of state transportation dollars.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council support and adopt the attached resolution relating to a more
equitable distribution of state and federal transportation funds for state highway needs to Pima
and Maricopa County metropolitan areas.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move that the Council approve Resolution No. 99 -11, relating to a more equitable distribution
of state and federal transportation funds for state highway needs.
