The <br />County of Orange has received Proposition 1B funds determined by the State <br />Controller's Office. At their meeting on March 4, 2008 the County Board <br />of Supervisors allocated a portion of the County's Proposition 1B funds to <br />the cities to assist in delivery of their critical transportation and <br />safety projects. <br />The City of Santa Ana received $1,000,000 in Proposition 1B Funds for <br />improvements to Susan Street from Mac Arthur to Sunflower. This allocation <br />will be included in the City's Fiscal Year 2008/09 Capital Improvements <br />Program and will be expended within two years from its receipt. In order <br />for the County to dispense a portion of the funds to the City, a <br />County/City cooperative agreement must be executed. The agreement states <br />the terms and responsibilities for each party. <br />25H-1 <br />
