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.
