<br />'sa 303' Continued from Page 1... <br /> <br />7A <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The League of California Cities stands opposed to SB 303 on several grounds. As it is currently <br />written, the bill is a recipe for sprawl; doesn't take into account other planning issues such as air <br />quality, climate change, or infill; doesn't guarantee the building of more housing; and currently <br />lacks a plan to pay for the mandates it will impose. <br /> <br />For detailed information on SB 303'5 impact on cities, see "S8 303 Moves to Assemblv: Time to <br />Look at this Bill AQain" and "SB 303 Amended. LeBove Still Opposed" at www.cacities.orQ/hced. <br /> <br />Since the bill has been significantly amended, cities should read the above-referenced articles, <br />and send new opposition letters to Sen. Ducheny with a 'ce' to your Assembly Member. A <br />sample letter is available by looking up SB 303 using the League of California Cities Web site's <br />bill search program, located at www.cacities.orQ/billsearch. <br /> <br />'Prop.1S' Continued from Page 1... <br /> <br /> <br />The conferences were held in Elk Grove and <br />Fresno, on June 12 and June 15, respectively. <br />In Elk Grove, mayors and council members from <br />Colusa, Davis, Elk Grove, Lincoln and Rancho <br />Cordova gathered at the interchange of Sheldon <br />Road and Route 99, where a $70.5 million <br />regional facility project is ready to get underway. <br /> <br />The group of city officials encouraged the <br />Legislature to .complete the work the people of <br />California started last November by passing Prop_ <br />18." <br /> <br />City officials attending the Elk Grove press conference included: <br /> <br />. Council Member Kay Hosmer, Colusa <br />. Council Member Don Saylor, Davis <br />. Mayor James Cooper, Elk Grove <br />. Police Chief Robert Simmons, Elk Grove <br />.

The event took <br />place at the intersection of Shaw and Fowler avenues <br />in Clovis, where more than $1 million in infrastructure <br />work is needed. <br /> <br />Clovis Mayor Bob Whalen was adamant that Clovis <br />roadways need to be repaired in a timely fashion, in <br />order to extend the life of roads - something the <br />immediate $1 billion allocation of Prop. 1 B funds in the <br />budget would help do. <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br />
