Waive further reading and adopt Resolution # 05-61to assume jurisdiction over
State Route (Highway) 111 and State Route (Highway) 74.
Discussion:
Jurisdiction and responsibility on State Route (Highway) 111 and State Route (Highway) 74
have been an issue in the City for quite some time. At the June 9, 2005 City Council meeting,
staff requested discussion and direction from Council regarding this issue. Council directed
staff to initiate the process for assuming jurisdiction over these highways.
The attached resolution will initiate the process for the relinquishment. Once the resolution is
adopted, our state representative will sponsor legislation which in effect will remove Highway
111 and Highway 74 within the City limits from the list of highways in the California Streets and
Highways Code. Once the legislation is signed into law, the City agrees to assume
responsibility for Highway 111 and Highway 74, and they will become City streets.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council waive further reading and adopt Resolution # 05-61
to assume jurisdiction over State Route 111 and State Route 74.
