A RESOLUTION OF Tt1E CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD
COUNTY, FLORIDA; OPPOSING MANDATED FUNCTIONAL
RECLASSIFICATION, OPPOSING MANDATED PRIORITIZATION FOR
EXPENDITURE OF STATE HIGHWAY FUNDS AND SUPPORTING
TRANSFERS BY MUTUAL CONSENT; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EI I ECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Brevard Metropolitan Planning Organization is the designated and
constituted body responsible for the urban transportation planning and programming process for
the Melbourne -Palm Bay and Titusville Urban Areas; and
WHEREAS, the Center for Urban Transportation Research has completed a study
entitled Functional Classification Study: Fiscal Impact Analysis of Proposed Revised Roadway
Ownership Criteria; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Transportation Commission has developed three (3) options for
implementation, including as follows:
1. Adopt criteria by law /rule and restrict state funding to only those roads meeting
criteria, or
2. Mandate transfers and establish new funding source to accompany transfers, or
3. Transfers only by mutual consent; and
WHEREAS, these options will be transmitted to the Florida Legislature; and
WHEREAS, there will be significant impacts to local governments if either option 1 or
option 2 are enacted; and
WHEREAS, FDOT Secretary Watts has indicated general acceptance of the current state
highway system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cape
Canaveral, Florida:
1. Opposes mandated prioritization for expenditure of state highway funds (option
1), as arbitrarily prioritizing a certain type of roadway would detrimentally affect
other roadways whose purpose may also be critical to a functioning transportation
system; and
2. Opposes mandated functional reclassification (option 2), as the fiscal impact of
the proposed transfers may be understated and the correct application of the
criteria is still being debated. In addition, the proposed revenue increase cannot
be justified only on the basis of functional classification, with no identified or
quantified change in level of service; and
3. Supports transfers by mutual consent (option 3); and
4. Urges the Florida Transportation Commission to support transfers by mutual
consent in their transmittal to the Florida Legislature; and
5. Urges the Florida Legislature to support transfers by mutual consent.
SECTION 2. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
ADOPTED BY the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida, this 6th day
of December , 1994.
