Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a cooperative agreement with the Santa Ana Unified School District to modify the traffic signal on Edinger Avenue at Mohawk Drive. 2. Approve an appropriation adjustment accepting funds from the Santa Ana Unified School District in the amount of $70,000 into the Select Street Construction fund (account no. 59-01-5621-6) and appropriating funds to the Select Street Construction fund (account no. 59-551-6631) for the traffic signal installation modification on Edinger Avenue and Mohawk Drive. DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) opened the new Hector Godinez High School in Centennial Park (Exhibit 1). Many parents are using the intersection of Edinger Avenue and Mohawk Drive to access the high school and are creating significant traffic congestion at this intersection. To mitigate the congestion a traffic signal modification is necessary. The traffic signal modification will provide for eastbound/westbound left turn arrows, a northbound right turn arrow, and an eastbound right turn lane. The City and the SAUSD agreed to share the cost of this improvement. In order to receive the funds from the SAUSD, a cooperative agreement is needed between the City and the SAUSD. As part of the Cooperative Agreement, the SAUSD will be required to provide the City with $70,000 to fund the modification of a traffic signal on Edinger Avenue and 25G-1
