B.
the findings and recommended actions for the
allocation and use of FY 2002-03 TDA Article 8 funds of $15,826,958, as follows:
§
in the Cities of Avalon and Santa Clarita,
there are unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet; therefore, TDA Article
8 funds shall be used to meet these unmet transit needs. The allocation is: Avalon $98,416 and Santa
Clarita $4,755,204;
§
in the Antelope Valley, which includes the
Cities of Lancaster and Palmdale, and in the Los Angeles County unincorporated
areas of Santa Clarita Valley and Catalina Island, transit needs are met using
other funding sources, such as Propositions A and C Local Return; therefore,
the finding is that there are no unmet transit needs that are reasonable to
meet, because other funding sources noted above will be used to address these
needs. Thus, TDA Article 8 funds may be
used for street and road projects. The
allocation for the Antelope Valley (Lancaster and Palmdale) is $3,736,420 and
$3,671,963. The allocation for Los
