HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION ~a ~ %~J/ NA SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION FOR THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER TO SIGN VARIOUS DOCUMENTS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR FEDERAL AND/OR STATE FUNDED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS SUMMARY Adoption of Resolution No. 07-70 will authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to sign, on behalf of the City of Tustin, various documents as required by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to process and obtain federal and/or state funds for certain City transportation improvement projects. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 07-70 authorizing the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to sign various documents required by the California Department of Transportation for federal and/or stated funded transportation improvement projects. FISCAL IMPACT Adoption of Resolution No. 07-70 will enable the City to receive federal and/or state funds for various City transportation improvement projects. BACKGROUND The City Council has previously adopted separate resolutions authorizing the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to sign Caltrans documents for either federal funded projects or for state funded projects. However, Caltrans has recently directed the City of Tustin to adopt a single resolution under which either state or federal funding applies. Furthermore, the resolution is to name the specific documents that could be applicable, including Master Agreements, Program Supplemental Agreements, Fund Exchange Agreements and/or Fund Transfer Agreements. It is, therefore, recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No 07-70 authorizing 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 federal and/or state funds for City transportation improvement projects.
