RECOMMENDATION In order to maintain eligibility for the Measure M Growth Management Program (GMP), it is recommended that the City Council take the following actions in compliance with the Measure M GMP requirements: A. Adopt the attached draft Measure M Growth Management Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Year 2002-2003 through Fiscal Year 2008-2009). B.

FISCAL IMPACT Compliance with Measure M requirements will ensure continued City eligibility for the Measure M Local Turnback Program and the Measure M Competitive Programs. BACKGROUND In November 1990, the voters of Orange County approved Measure M, the revised Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Program (GMP), which established a one-half cent sales tax over a 20-year period. In order to receive revenue from these programs for facility improvements the City of Tustin and other Orange County cities must continue to meet certain requirements. City of Tustin Measure M Growth Management Program Annual Compliance (Fiscal Year 2002-2003) June 17, 2002 Page 2 Tustin's Measure M eligibility package for Fiscal Year 2001-2002 was approved by OCTA last year. In order to maintain eligibility for these programs, the City is required to submit the following items for the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 compliance submittal: Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) The draft CIP is a seven-year projection of specific projects upon which Measure M funds may be expended. Adoption of the seven year CIP is a requirement of the Measure M GMP. Included in the plan are projects that could be submitted to OCTA during the future Measure M call for projects. The proposed CIP is currently in draft form until the formal adoption of the City's seven- year Capital Improvement Program as part of the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 budget process. The finalized seven-year CIP will be forwarded to OCTA when the budget has been adopted by the City Council. Maintenance of Effort (MOE) A Maintenance of Effort Reporting Form, with a statement certifying that the City will meet its MOE expenditure in accordance with Measure M requirements for Fiscal Year 2002-2003, must be submitted with a copy of the City's draft budget sections showing these expenditures. Upon authorization, the certifications will be executed by the Director of Public Works / City Engineer and submitted to OCTA. Pavement Management Plan (PMP) The City of Tustin has had a PMP in place since July 1989. In June 1997, a new five-year plan was developed by Infrastructure Management System (IMS) and submitted to OCTA as part of the Measure M compliance package. To comply with Measure M requirements, the City has to maintain and update the plan every two years. The last update of the PMP was on June 30, 2001. The City is currently in the process of updating the PMP, which will be completed by June 30, 2003 in accordance with Measure M requirements. Certification of the local PMP will be executed by the Director of Public Works / City Engineer and submitted to OCTA. Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) Consistency The City of Tustin is required to affirm, by a City Council resolution, that no unilateral reduction in through lanes has been made on any MPAH arterial on the City's circulation element. The City has completed studies for the amendment of the MPAH to reclassify El Camino Real, between First Street and Newport Avenue, and submitted those studies to OCTA. The City is currently processing a General Plan Circulation Element Amendment to reclassify El Camino Real between First Street and Newport Avenue. Upon adoption, the resolution will be submitted to OCTA.
