FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 12-02 TO APPROVE THE .SUBMITTAL OF
REGIONAL SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PROGRAM PROJECT
APPLICATION TO THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
SUMMARY
City Council adoption of Resolution No. 12-02 will approve the submittal of an application prepared
by the City of Santa Ana for the First Street/Bolsa Avenue Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to
the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Participation by all agencies maintaining
traffic signals within this corridor is needed for approval of a project application under the 2011 Call
for Projects for the Competitive Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 12-02 approving the submittal of an
application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding of the First Street/Bolsa
Avenue Traffic Signal Synchronization Project under the 2011 Call for Projects for the Renewed
Measure M Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City is required to provide minimum match funding of twenty percent (20%) for the project. If
this project is selected, Tustin's estimated matching cost will total approximately $50,000. Funding
for Tustin's match will be requested through the Measure M2 Local Fair Share Program (Project Q)
in the City's Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Capital Improvement Budget.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
Renewed Measure M (Measure M2) is a 30-year, multi-billion dollar program extension of the
original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs.
Measure M2 is comprised of a number of components such as: Project O (Regional Capacity
Program), Project P (Regional Signal Synchronization Program), Project Q (Local Fair Share
Program), and the Transit Program (Projects S, T, V, and W).
On July 26, 2010 the OCTA adopted the countywide Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan.
From this Master Plan the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P) was
developed. To maintain City eligibility for funding under Project P, the City Council adopted the
Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) for Tustin on December 7, 2010 in compliance with the
OCTA Master Plan.
Project P synchronization projects will be selected for the 2011 Call for Projects on a competitive
basis. Projects with the most regional significance will be ranked highest, with higher points
applied toward multi jurisdictional corridors.

The City of Santa Ana has taken the lead in submitting an application for the First Street/Bolsa
Avenue Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to the OCTA in collaboration with Caltrans, the
County of Orange and the Cities of Tustin and Westminster. If the project is selected, 80% of
funding will be provided by the OCTA under the Competitive Measure M2 Traffic Signal
Synchronization Program. Local agencies along each corridor are required to provide minimum
match funding of twenty percent (20%) for each project.
To maintain eligibility for Renewed Measure M funding the City Council must approve applications
for this program. The application for this project was submitted to the OCTA by the City of Santa
Ana prior to the December 2, 2011 OCTA deadline. Adoption of the City's resolution after that date
is acceptable to OCTA and serves to complete the initial administrative process for receipt of the
applications. Therefore, staff is requesting City Council adoption of Resolution No. 12-02 which
designates the City of Santa Ana as the lead agency for this project for the 2011 Call for Projects
under the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program.
