APPLICATION
RE COI~L-MENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 97-107 approving the following actions:
.
Approve the filing of an application to the California Trade and Commerce Agency for $300,000 in
California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant funds to offset construction costs associated with
the extension of two proposed Phase I roadways through the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS)
Tustin to support the apProved Reuse Plan and rapid redeveloplnent and job creation for the
community; and,
Appoint the Assistant City Manager or her authorized representative as the agent to apply, approve,
si~ and execute in the name of the City of Tustin any documents necessary for applying for
funding under the California Trade and Commerce Agency's Defense Adjustment Matching Grant
Pro.am and for entering into an agreement, including any amendments thereto, with the Trade and
Commerce Agency in the event that funding is awarded under that pro.am.
FISCAL 13I~PACT
If approved, the proposed grant request would partially reimburse the City of Tustin for up to $300,000 of
its estimated matching contribution costs ($2,284,658) associated with the construction of the extension of
Valencia Avenue and Anustrong Avenue through closing MCAS Tustin. The roadways would provide
much needed access to currently inaccessible portions of the base and would provide traffic congestion
relief and new infrastructure to the interior of the base property. The total project cost is $4,284,638.
$2.000.000 of that cost is anticipated to be provided through a federal Economic Development
Administration (EDA) grant, $1,984,658 provided through other City funding resources such as Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, with the remaining $300,000 provided through the
aforementioned CDAM grant. Approval of this grant request represents a significant savings to the CID,' in
funding this project.
BACKGROUND
The California Trade and Commerce Agency created the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant
Pro,am to provide funding for cities and counties impacted by cutbacks in defense spending and military
bas~ closure. These funds are intended to offset local government federal grant assistance matching fund
requirements associated with the development of military base reuse plans and other defense conversion
pro,ams. The maximum grant allowed under the CDAM grant program is $300,000.
The City of Tustin has submitted an application for a $2,000,000 grant to the federal Economic
Develop~nent Administration to construct two phase I roadways (the extension of Valencia Avenue and
Armstrong Avenue)through the base (see attached map). Approval of the grant would require the City to
fund the remaining estimated costs of $2,284,658. As noted above, staff anticipates that other federal ~ant
funding, redevelopment tax increment, CDBG funding, and other revenue sources will be utilized to fund

the remaining balance required to complete this project. Should alternative funding sources be slow to
materialize, the City is in no manner obligated to funding the remaining cost balance since the project has
been designed to be phased only as funding becomes available.
A condition of application for CDAM grant funds from the State of California is that the City Council
formally authorize the filing of an application for the reimbursement of these costs and appoint an
authorized representative to apply, approve, sign and execute documents in the name of the City of Tustin.
