AUTHORrZATION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of September 15, 1997, adopt Resolution No. 97-93
authorizing the City Engineer to submit applications to the California Transportation Commission for FY
1998-99 Transit Capital Improvement (TCI) Program funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
State approval of these applications will provide for an additional $1,543,000.00 in funds for construction of
the Tustin Commuter Rail Station.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The California Department of Transportation is currently soliciting formal project applications for the Fiscal
Year 1998-99 TCI Program. Funding for this program is made pursuant to Article XIX of the State
Constitution, Section 199 and 199.2 of the Streets and Highways Code, and Sections 99317 and 99317.1 of
the Public Utilities Code.
The City is currently preparing two FY 1998-99 TCI Applications for partial funding of the Tustin Commuter
Rail Station. One of the applications is in the amount of $1,390,000.00, which is intended to offset significant
cutbacks in the TCI Program for FY 1997-98. The City received approval of the FY 1997-98 TCI Program
application subject to approval of the State Budget, which contains a reduction in the TCI Program funds
available for FY 1997-98.
The other application is in the amoum of $153,000.00, which will offset the City's General Fund participation
for construction of the station. The City's previous TCI Program funds in the amount of $1,007,500.00 for FY
1996-97 have been allocated to the City, and FY 1994-95 funds in the amount of $230,000.00 have been
expended by the City as part of the right-of-way acquisition.
