Mr. Robert L. Bennett, Jr., City Manager
City of Round Rock
214 East Main
Round Rock, Texas 78664
Dear Bob:
During the next few weeks, Governor Mark White will call a special session of
the Texas Legislature to consider proposals to increase state spending on public
schools and highways.
The special session agenda also will include TML's "Pothole Bill," which was
introduced during the 1983 session of the State Legislature, but failed to pass.
Under the Pothole Bill, $100 million per year in state funding would be allo—
cated to Texas cities for street and bridge repairs. All cities would be
eligible for funding.
In order for us to pass the Pothole Bill during the upcoming special session,
the cities will need to present a united front to the Legislature and demon—
strate their collective support for the additional state funding - -and taxes- -
needed to bring our state —local roads and bridges up to par. In this regard,
we request that your city council approve the enclosed resolution and return it
to the League office as soon as possible. Copies of all resolutions received by
TML will be forwarded to Governor White, state legislators, members of the state
highway commission and the media, to underscore the seriousness with which city
officials view the state —local road problem.
Secondly, city officials will need to lobby their state senators and representa—
tives and obtain their commitments to vote for the funding package described in
the resolution. We will be contacting your city in the near future with regard
to methods for accomplishing this phase of our campaign.
In addition to the form resolution, other attachments include:
(1) A list which shows the biennial (2 —year) amount each city would receive
upon enactment of the Pothole Bill. The state is on a biennial budget
cycle; therefore, if the Pothole Bill is approved, the amounts shown
would be paid to the cities in two equal installments - -half one year and
half the next year. (If for some reason your city is not on the list,
your biennial allocation can be calculated by multiplying your city's
number of paved street miles times $1,660 times 2.
(2) A Pothole Bill fact sheet.

Passage of the Pothole Bill continues to be TML's highest legislative priority.
We will need your active help to enact this critical legislation.
Thank you for your assistance.

A RESOLUTION
SUPPORTING INCREASED STATE HIGHWAY
FUNDING, PASSAGE OF THE POTHOLE BILL
AND INCREASED HIGHWAY USER CHARGES
WHEREAS, authoritative surveys reveal that:
(1) Texas leads the nation in the number of deficient bridges (172,000) and
deteriorated state roadways (7,740 miles).
(2) The state's 5¢ per - gallon motor fuel tax is the lowest in the nation,
and has not been increased in 27 years. Moreover, in 1965, 27% of the
state budget went for transportation, while in 1982 only about lOX of
the state budget was spent for transportation- related purposes.
(3) Each Texas motorist pays a "bad roads" tax averaging $291 per year for
wasted gasoline, tire wear, car repairs, insurance and medical bills.
(4) Additional transportation spending of $51 billion will be needed over
the next 20 years to overcome the current backlog of needs -- including
$6.2 million for road and bridge rehabilitation, $30.3 billion for
reconstruction, $6.7 billion for new roads and $7.7 billion for main-
tenance; and
WHEREAS, the state's transportation funding problems are reflected at the local
level, as follows:
(1) The current backlog of city street repair needs exceeds $1 billion.
Texas cities are spending an estimated $193 million per year on street
repairs --more than ever before. But they are still falling further
behind each year, because the street repair backlog is growing at rates
that exceed local spending increases. The cities must have state
financial assistance in order to bring their streets and bridges up to
standard.
(2) Upwards of 20 percent of all municipal streets --more than 13,000 miles- -
are currently in need of major repair.
(3)
The deterioration of city streets and bridges will accelerate in the
future. The 10 million motor vehicles already in the state are wearing
out local roads and bridges faster than they can be repaired; twenty
years from now, the cities will have 16 million vehicles to contend
with --more than half again today's volume; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Municipal League supports the state funding and tax increases
necessary to bring our state -local roads and bridges up to par;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the (Governing Body) of the City of
that the Texas Legislature is urged to enact a state -local
road and bridge financing package composed of the following:
(1) An increase of $1 billion per year in funding for the State Department
of Highways and Public Transportation.
(2) $100 million per year for the City Street Improvement Fund (the "Pothole
Bill ") proposed, but not approved, during the 1983 Legislative session.
(3) Doubling the rate of the state motor fuel tax to 100gallon and increas-
ing motor vehicle license fees as necessary to generate adequate fund-
ing.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the (Governing Body) of the City of
this day of (Month) , 1984.
ATTEST:
APPROVED:
Mayor
POTHOLE BILL FACT SHEET.
The highway finance legislative package supported by TML consists of three
parte:
(1) A provision to double the rate of the state motor fuel tax from 5¢ to
10¢ per gallon, and an increase the amount of the state motor vehicle
registration fee;
(2) Increased state appropriations of $1 billion per year to the State
Department of Highways E. Public Transportation for improvements to
state highways and bridges; and
(3) The appropriation of state funds for municipal street and bridge
repairs --the "Pothole Bill."
Under Part Three of the package, the state legislature would appropriate $200
million per biennium for city street and bridge repairs. Half of that amount
would be distributed to the cities in 1984 -85; the other half would be allocated
in 1985 -86.
Under the Pothole Bill, each city would have to demonstrate a commitment to
helping solve its own repair problems by matching its state allocation 30/70.
In other words, for each $700 provided by the state, the city would have to put
up $300. The entire amount of the city's allocation must be spent for street
and bridge repair and maintenance. Expenditures for new construction would not
ted.
All cities would be eligible for funding. Each city's share would be based on
the number of miles of paved street (concrete or asphalt) maintained by the
city. There are about 60,000 miles of municipal street in the state. There-
fore, each mile of paved street would entitle the city to $100m. - 60,000 =
$1,660 per year. A city with 10 miles of street would receive $16,600 /year; one
with 50 miles of street would receive $83,000 and so on.
There are several legitimate reasons the Legislature should approve the Pothole
Bill:
(1) More than 60% of all motor vehicle travel in the state takes place on
city roads. Also, city residents pay a major share of all motor fuel
taxes and vehicle registration fees collected by the state. Currently,
none of these revenues are remitted back to the cities to help deal
with the street repair problems created by the millions of vehicles
which generate the revenues in the first place.
(2) Unlike many other types of municipal functions, streets and bridges are
a statewide concern. The quality of the state's transportation system
is dependent upon the quality of local roadways.
Raising property taxes is not the answer to our municipal street and
bridge problems. The local property tax is overloaded, and many Texas
cities have experienced Proposition 13 -type taxpayer rebellions during
the past few years. Remitting $100 million per year back to the cities
would provide a direct form of 'tax relief' by alleviating pressures on
the local property tax to fund street repairs.
(3)
(Over)
(4) A survey of Texas cities indicates that the backlog of municipal street
repair needs exceeds $1 billion. More than 13,000 miles of city
streets are in need of major improvement. Texas cities are spending
more than $190 million per year on street repairs, but it's not enough.
Cities are falling further behind every year, because the street repair
backlog is snowballing at rates that exceed local spending increases.
The cities will never be able to bring their streets and bridges up to
standard without state assistance.
(5) The deterioration of city streets and bridges will continue to acceler-
ate in the future. The 10 million motor vehicles already in the State
are tearing up our local roads and bridges faster than they can be
repaired. Twenty years from now, we will have 16 million vehicles to
contend with - -50Z more than we have today.

A RESOLUTION
SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL TEXAS LEGISLATIVE
APPROPRIATIONS AND USER CHARGE INCREASES TO
STATE AND LOCAL HIGHWAYS, ROADS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
WHEREAS, significant increases in Texas' population, accompanied by infla-
tionary pressures and accelerating rates of road and bridge deterioration,
have resulted in a near - crisis situation requiring immediate additional
transportation funding; and
WHEREAS, surveys of the state's transportation system reveal that:
(1) Texas leads the nation in the number of deficient bridges
(172,000) and deteriorated state roadways (7,740 miles).
(2) With the advent of small, fuel - efficient cars, Texas highway
users are paying less, per mile of travel, for road construc-
tion and maintenance than 20 years ago. The state's 5e per
gallon gas tax is the lowest in the nation, and has not been
increased in 27 years. Moreover, in 1965, 27% of the state
budget went for transportation; in 1982, only about 10% of the
state budget was spent for transportation - related purposes.
(3) Texas motorists are paying an increasing "bad roads" tax, which
costs each motorist an average of $291 per year in wasted gaso-
line, tire wear, car repairs, insurance and medical bills.
(4) Over the next 20 years, the population in Texas is projected to
increase by about 50 percent, and the number of licensed drivers
is projected to increase by approximately the same amount. The
state will have to triple its current rate of annual expendi-
tures ($751 million) in order to handle the anticipated traffic
increase.
(5) Additional transportation spending of $51 billion will be
needed over the next 20 years to overcome the current backlog
of needs -- including $6.2 million for road and bridge rehabili-
tation, $30.3 billion for reconstruction, $6.7 billion for new
routes, and $7.7 billion for maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the state's transportation funding needs are mirrored at the
local level. The cost of 20 -year regional mobility plans just for the
state's four large metropolitan areas is in the $34 billion range.
Additionally:
(1) A TML survey of Texas cities indicated that the growing backlog
of street repair needs exceeds $1 billion.
(2) Upwards of 20 percent of all municipal streets - -more than
12,000 miles -- currently are in need of major repair.
(3) Texas cities are spending an estimated $180 million per year on
street repairs - -58 percent more than three years ago. But they
are still falling ever further behind, because the street
repair backlog is growing at rates that exceed local spending
increases. The cities must have state financial assistance in
order to bring their streets and bridges up to standard.
(4) The deterioration of city streets and bridges is projected to
accelerate in the future. The 10 million motor vehicles al-
ready in the state are deteriorating local roads and bridges
faster than they can be repaired. Twenty years from now, the
cities will have 16 million vehicles to contend with- -more than
half again today's volume.
(5) Public transportation is a critical element in the solution of
the mobility problems of the state's major metropolitan areas.
Additional state public transportation funds are needed to
match the federal grants to cities and regional transportation
authorities for capital improvements to local public transpor-
tation systems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 71st
Annual Conference of the Texas Municipal League that TML support passage
in the State Legislature of an omnibus, integrated legislative package
containing the following components:
(1) Increased state appropriations, including $1 billion in addi-
tional annual funding for the State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation, of which more than 60% ($600 million)
would be spent in urban areas.
(2) Increased appropriations for the State Public Transportation
Fund at a level necessary to match city and regional transpor-
tation authority capital programs.
(3) $100 million per year for the City Street Improvement Fund (the
"TML Pothole Bill ") proposed during the 1983 Legislative
session.
(4) Increases in the 5¢ /gallon state motor fuel tax and motor
vehicle registration fees in order to shift more of the finan-
cial burden for transportation improvements over to users, and
away from the state General Fund.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 71st annual
conference of the Texas Municipal League that TML encourages the Governor
to include consideration of the above legislative package in a special
session of the State Legislature, should one be scheduled before the next
regular session.
PASSED AND APPROVED at Houston, Texas this 9th day of October, 1983.
