RESOLUTIONS AND FUNDING OF THE J/~IBOREE ROAD/EDINGER AVENUE
INTERCHANGE (WEST LEG TRANSITION ARE~)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of October 17,
1994, oppose the proposed modifications to Eastern Transportation
Corridor Resolution 92F-09, paragraph 2b concerning the possibility of
opening of the Corridor prior to construction of the Jamboree
Road/Edinger Avenue interchange, and approve in concept the development
of a long-term contractual funding agreement with the Transportation
Corridor Agencies for repayment of fair-share interchange costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact associated with the present City Council
action.
BACKGROUND
On May 14, 1992, the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency
Board of Directors certified the final Environmental Impact Report for
the Eastern Transportation Corridor (ETC) and approved a number of
resolutions concerning corridor implementation. Included in the
approved resolutions were conditions relative to the engineering design
and environmental studies as well as implementation scheduling and
Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) for roadway improvements south of the
West Leg termination (vicinity of Walnut Avenue) along Jamboree Road,
commonly referred to as the Transition Area.
Resolution 92F-06, adopted on May 14, 1992 and amended on March 22,
1994, specified that prior to completion of the final design for the ETC
the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) shall administer, fund and
complete the engineering design and environmental studies for roadway
improvements to Jamboree Road south of the Terminus of the West Leg of
the ETC including: a) Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue grade separation and
interchange; b) Jamboree Road widened to eight lanes south to Barranca
Parkway; and c) Jamboree Road/Barranca Parkway grade separation and
interchange pursuant to certain specified conditions.
Also part of Resolution 92F-06 is provision No. 2 which specifies that
"Prior to final design for the ETC: a) A Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) shall be entered into which defines the TCA as the lead agency and
defines the roles of the Cities of Irvine and Tustin as cooperating
agencies in the environmental process" and "b) a MOU shall be entered
into identifying fair-share funding between TCA, City of Irvine and City
of Tustin regarding construction of the above improvements".

A Memorandum of Understanding regarding implementation of environmental
and engineering studies for the above Jamboree Road improvements south
of the ETC West Leg terminus which defined the TCA as the lead agency
and the roles of the Cities of Irvine and Tustin for those improvements
was approved by the TCA Chief Executive Officer, the Tustin City Council
on September 6, 1994 and the Irvine City Council on October 11, 1994.
In regards to the fair-share funding MOU, discussions are in process
with the TCA and staffs from the Cities of Irvine and Tustin. Further
comments on this matter are addressed below.
DISCUSSION
AS noted above, Eastern Transportation Corridor (ETC) approval
Resolution No. 92F-06 obligated the TCA, City of Irvine and City of
Tustin to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding that would identify
fair-share funding between the three parties for construction of
Jamboree Road improvements south of the terminus of the West Leg of the
ETC in the Transition Area, most notably the Jamboree Road/Edinger
Avenue improvements.
TCA staff has been informally working with the City of Irvine and City
of Tustin staffs regarding just such a funding MOU. A study has
previously been prepared by TCA which identified their proportional
funding share at 28%. Based upon the study and the presence of three
(3) parties they have agreed to a 33-1/3% maximum funding share, with
the remaining 66-2/3% of the costs left to the Cities of Irvine and
Tustin.
TCA has now indicated that they would be willing to fund the entire
Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue interchange costs (currently estimated at
$16.5 million) in the overall ETC long term project financing package
with later reimbursement by Irvine and Tustin provided that both cities
have entered into a formal contractual arrangement for repayment of
their fair-share of the total interchange costs. Under such an
arrangement and based upon a maximum 33-1/3% level of participation,
each City's obligation could be in the $5.5 million range based upon the
current expected total cost of $16.5 million. TCA staff have pointed
out that such an agreement will be heavily scrutinized by potential
financial lenders who will require that the City of Irvine and Tustin's
obligations be backed by some form of security or collateral, such as
future gas tax allocations.
Without prior notice to the Cities of Irvine or Tustin, TCA staff is now
recommending that the TCA Board consider modifying paragraph 2b 6f ETC
Resolution 92F-09 (see attached TCA staff report No. 23) so that in the
event such an agreement between the three parties is not entered into
the TCA can open the full Eastern Transportation Corridor prior to
construction of the grade separation and interchange at Jamboree
Road/Edinger Avenue. Such a modification would be completely contrary
to the essence of the original wording of approved Resolution 92F-09,
paragraph 2b, which stipulates that "A grade separation and interchange
at Jamboree Road and Edinger Avenue shall be opened to traffic prior to
Modifications to East~ Transportation Corridor /proval Resolutions
and Funding of the Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue lnterchange (West Leg
Transition Area)
October 17, 1994
Page 3
or at the same time as the opening of the ETC West Leg in the Transition
Area".
In addition, ETC approval Resolution No. 92F-06 and the recently City
Council executed MOU with the TCA already affirms both Cities strong
commitments to participate in their fair-share funding responsibilities
for the proposed improvements. To bring forth such a proposed change is
therefore considered inappropriate in light of the previous commitments.
It should be indicated that City staff has no problem with the other TCA
staff recommended actions to their Board relative to recommendations
Nos. 1, 2 and 4 (see attached TCA staff report No. 23). The matter has
been discussed at the Technical Advisory Committee, the Foothill/Eastern
Operations Committee, the Budget/Finance Committee and on October 13,
1994, at the Foothill/Eastern Board of Directors Meeting and action on
the proposed resolution changes has been deferred one month to enable
the Cities of Tustin and Irvine to meet with TCA.
SUMMARY
It appears that there is strong support amongst the other agency members
that such wording modifications to Resolution 92F-09, paragraph 2b be
provided so in their minds the opening of the entire corridor is not
potentially held hostage in Irvine and Tustin's financial dealings with
TCA.
Other agency members may need to be contacted by Tustin's elected
officials to provide a local perspective on this issue. It needs to be
emphasized that the Jamboree/Edinger improvements are a significant
regional facility not just one serving local needs and that the need to
implement the interchange improvements now is driven by the opening of
the Transportation Corridor and not current traffic demands. It should
be further emphasized that the City recognizes its obligations to enter
into a financial agreement with the TCA and the City of Irvine for
funding its fair share of the improvement costs provided that specific
details of the financial arrangements are clearly delineated and are of
acceptable terms.
CONCLUSION
Since it is clearly not in the best interest of the City of Tustin, it
is recommended that the City Council oppose the proposed modifications
to ETC Resolution 92F-09, paragraph 2b concerning the possibility of
opening the corridor prior to construction of the Jamboree Road/Edinger
Avenue interchange; and that the City Council approve in concept the
development of a contractual funding agreement with the TCA for
repayment of fair-share interchange costs.

BACKGROUND
The TCA and the Cities of Irvine and Tusfin have prepared a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOIY) regarding inaplementation of environmental and engineering studies for the widening of
Jamboree Road to eight lanes between Barranca Parkway and Edinger Avenue and the Jamboree
Road/Barranca Parkway grade separation and interchange consistent with Item 2a of Resolution
92F-09 and Items lc and 2 of Resolution 92F-06. The MOU that defines the TCA as the lead
agency and the roles of the Cities of lrvine and Tustin. The TCA Chief Executive Officer and
the Tusfin City Council have authorized the MOU. The Irvine City Council is expected to
authorize the MOU in October, 1994, al~er which the MOU will be fully executed and in force.
Modifications to ETC Approval Resolutions
Page 2
Discussions are underway between the TCA and the cities of Irvine and Tustin to identify the
fair-share funding responsibility for the Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue grade separation and
interchange consistent with Item 2b of Resolution 92F-06. Fair share studies were prepared by
TCA and presented to the cities. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is in preparation to
address fair share funding and implementation responsibilities and completion is anticipate by
the end of 1994.
Of the three projects on the ETC West Leg south of the transition area, two are being
incorporated into the Eastern Corridor Project funding. The status and progress on
implementation of these improvements since incorporation into the ETC Project is as follows:
~ The TCA commissioned EMA to 1) incorporate the interchange
improvements into the Moulton Parkway Smart Street EIR which was accomplished and the
document certified in October, 1993; 2) prepare a Project Report for the interchange which was
completed by EMA and approved in April, 1994; and 3) contract for fmai design of the
interchange for which the process is underway.
Jamboree Widening - The TCA retained Austin Foust to perform traffic studies to determine
when these improvements would be required. These studies showed that the widening would not
be required with the initial opening of the ETC and the requirement for widening this section of
Jamboree Road was deferred by Amendment to Resolution 92F-06, date April 14, 1994.
Jamboree/Barranca Intereham,e - Austin Foust also studied the traffic requirement at this
intersection and determined that at-grade intersection improvements would satisfy the traffic
requirements of the initial ETC opening and the interchange improvement project could be
deferred. This deferral until after the Corridor is opened to traffic was also accomplished by the
Amendment to Resolution 92F-06 on April 14, 1994. The intersection improvements required to
satisfy the early year traffic were conceptually developed to determine the need for additional
right of way and relocation of transmission lines.
DISCUSSION
Jamboree/Edinger Interchange
Project activities are progressing as discussed herein. Design of the interchange was initially
planned to be performed in-house by EMA and $350,000 was authorized by TCA. It has now
been determined that an outside consultant is needed and the cost of design is estimated at
$1,200,000. EMA is administering for TCA the selection of an engineering consultant for design
of the project which process will be concluded in October, 1994: A twelve month design

Page 3
schedule is planned which will allow construction to begin in early 1996 and be completed in the
1998-99 timefi'ame, prior to opening of the ETC scheduled for September 30, 1999. Funding for
the recommended increase will be from the available cash flow.
The TCA is on schedule for Implementation of the Interchange Improvements and is committed
to comply with Resolution 92F-09 including Provision 2b which states that the Jamboree Road
and Edinger Avenue grade separation and intemhange shall be opened to traffic prior to or at the
same time as the opening of the ETC West Leg in the Transition Area. Implementation of these
improvements within the time frame specified could be jeopardized by inability of the cities of
Irvine and Tustin to meet their fair share funding of these improvements. To meet the intent of
Resolution 92F-09 and support the requirements of bond financing, it is proposed and
recommended that the following clause be added to Paragraph 2b of Resolution 92F-09:
"The TCA has agreed that Agency, subject to Cities inability to initially provide
their fair-share funding, will advance the cost of the Edinger Avenue/Jamboree
Road grade separation and interchange provided that the cities of Irvine and
Tustin have entered into a formal contractual arrangement for repayment of their
fair-share of the total interchange costs. Lacking such agreement with the Cities
will not relieve the TCA of the obligation to pursue construction of the
interchange but will allow opening of the full Eastern Transportation Corridor
facility prior to the construction of the grade separation and interchange. All
parties to the arrangement agree to pursue supplemental funding (including
Measure M funds) for these improvements to offset the total cost of the
interchange."
Jamboree/Barranca Intersection
Conceptual layouts of intersection improvements that were recently developed suggest that the
required initial impmvemems can be accomplished without impacting the existing overhead
transmission line towers and without requiring MCAS(I-I) Tustin fight of way, provided certain
compromise highway geometric standards are applied. These include the reduction of traffic and
bike lane widths and deferral of the sidewalk adjacent to the Base. These concepts are being
developed into preliminary plans to be followed by design and construction of the improvements
by TCA.
The Agency is committed to comply with Resolution 92F-06 including Item lA, as amended
April 14, 1994, which states that: "Prior to completion of the f'mal design for the ETC the final
design for the initial improvements necessary for the Jamboree/Barranca intersection shall be
completed. These improvements shall be opened prior to or at the same time as the opening of
the ETC West Leg in the Transition Area."
Modifications to ETC Approval Resolutions
Page 4
Relocation of existing overhead power line supports and potential acquisition of right-of-way
from the MCAS(H) Tustin could cause delays in the schedule for construction of these
interchange improvements. To meet the intent of Resolution 92F-06 and support the
requirements of bond financing the TCA staff recommends that the following clause be added to
Resolution 92F-06 to Paragraph lA:
"It is intended that the design of the intersection in the Initial Project not include
right of way from MCAS(H) Tustin or other properties and to avoid relocation of
the overhead power lines in the median of Barranea Parkway. It is recognized that
if such fight of way or relocations are necessitated by the design, the
implementation of those design improvements shall not delay opening of the full
Eastern Transportation Corridor."
