HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION SUBJECT: SUBMITTAL OF CITY OF TUSTIN APPLICATIONS FOR ORANGE COUNTY COMBINED TRANSPORTATION FUNDING PROGRAMS, FISCAL YEARS 2008/2009 THROUGH 2010/2011 SUMMARY City Council adoption of Resolution No. 08-13 will approve the submittal of City applications for the Orange County Combined Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP). The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) requires Council approval as part of the application process. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 08-13 requesting that the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) include the City of Tustin's projects in the Fiscal Years 2008/2009 through 2010/2011 Combined Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP). FISCAL IMPACT Fiscal impact is unknown at this time. If all of the subject applications are approved by OCTA, the City's funding obligations for various projects in the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program will be reduced by approximately $3.47 million. BACKGROUND On December 10, 2007, the OCTA issued a call for project applications for various Measure "M" Programs within the CTFP for Fiscal Years 2008/2009 through 2010/2011. The specific amount available countywide under each program is as follows: Intersection Improvement Program ..........................................................$23,513,400 Signal Improvement Program ...................................................................$5,530,543 Transportation Demand Management Program ........................................$3,266,269 Growth Management Areas Program .......................................................$8,639,710 Total .............................................................$40,949,922 Submittal of City of Tustin Applications for Orange County Combined Transportation Funding Programs, Fiscal Years 2008/2009 through 2010/2011 February 19, 2008 Page 2 This call for projects will be the final call for the current Measure "M" (now known as M1) program. The $40.9 million available will provide funding through the end of M1 which will be March 31, 2011. Historically, the OCTA has not over-programmed in any specific program because a subsequent call could utilize any funding capacity made available by cancellations and project savings. However, this is the last M1 call and no such safety net will exist. In order to fulfill the obligations of M1, the available funding programs will be programmed based upon estimated revenues. Generally, any remaining revenues, resulting from savings, cancellations, or delay will be utilized to further fund the development activities for the renewed Measure "M" (M2) programs. Staff has prepared CTFP applications for three (3) projects utilizing three (3) different CTFP funding sources consistent with the City's approved Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program. The three (3) projects were selected based upon review of the City's current Capital Improvement Program (CIP), past application submittals, current established criteria for funding and evaluation of the project matching fund requirements. Two (2) of the projects are a part of the Newport Avenue Extension Project-Phase II (CIP No. 7131). They are the IIP project, the Newport Avenue/Sycamore Avenue Intersection Improvement Project, and the SIP project, the Newport Avenue/Sycamore Avenue Traffic Signal Modification and Interconnect Project. If the projects are awarded CTFP funds, the two projects would be constructed in advance of the grade separation of Newport Avenue at the OCTA railway crossing. This would also result in a cost savings of over $3.42 million for CIP No. 7131. The applications must be submitted to OCTA by February 29, 2008 to meet the CTFP deadline. Exhibit "A" of Resolution No. 08-13 designates the projects to be submitted by the City for Fiscal Years 2008/2009 through 2010/2011 of the CTFP. The CTFP funding eligibility requirements include City Council approval of the applications. Tim D. Serlet Director of Public Works/City Engineer Dana R.
