OF-WAY CERTIFICATION
SUMMARY
Adoption of Resolution No. 03-52 will authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to sign, on
behalf of the City of Tustin, various documents required by Caltrans to process and obtain Right-of-
Way Certifications for certain City improvement projects.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 03-52 authorizing the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer to sign documents required by Caltrans related to Right-of-Way Certifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City with this action.
BACKGROUND
For projects that have Caltrans involvement or responsibility and where right-of-way is required, Caltrans
requires an authorized signature on a series of documents in order to satisfy requirements for right-of-
way acquisition. These documents include a "Right-of-Way Certification" form, which is a declaration
that the City is conforming to Caltrans procedures in obtaining any needed right-of-way. A "Right-of-Way
Certification" form is also required if utility companies have facilities within a project area for which
Caltrans has involvement or responsibility.
For projects that have Caltrans involvement or responsibility and where no right-of-way is required,
Caltrans requires an authorized signature on a "No Right-of-Way Certification" form.
For both types of projects, Caltrans involvement includes the need for a Caltrans Encroachment Permit.
An authorized signature is currently required on the "Right-of-Way Certification" for the Red Hill Avenue
Widening Project at the I-5 Freeway (CIP No. 7133) prior to Caltrans issuing the City an Encroachment
Permit. A Right-of-Way Certification will also be needed in the future for the Newport Avenue/SR-55
Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130).
