application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding of the Red Hill Avenue
Northbound Widening and Raised Median Construction Project under the 2015 Call for Projects for
the Renewed Measure M Regional Capacity Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City is required to provide minimum match funding of twenty percent (25 %) for the project. If
this project is selected, the City's estimated matching cost plus administration will total
approximately $1,650,000. Funding for the City's match will be requested through the Measure M2
Local Fair Share Program (Project Q) in the City's Fiscal Year 2015 -2016 Capital Improvement
Budget.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The project contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and
Protection of Assets. Specifically, the project implements or fosters the implementation of
strategy #3, which among other items, is to ensure continuous maintenance and improvement of
transportation facilities.
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).
Project O regional capacity projects will be selected for the 2015 Call for Projects on a competitive
basis. Projects with the most regional significance will be ranked highest.

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 OCTA prior to the deadline of
October 24, 2014. 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. 14 -72 which designates the City of Tustin as
the lead agency for submittal of this project for the 2015 Call for Projects under the Regional
Capacity Program.
