certain transportation capital projects, together with two other capital projects not related to
transportation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council chose not to act upon said resolutions and to instead direct
City staff to develop recommendations for a more comprehensive funding proposal that would
address the long-term capital transportation needs of the City, as well as other capital needs of the
City, and to formulate recommendations as to which, if any, such capital projects should be placed
on the November 2002, ballot; and
