The <br />County of Orange has received their allotment of Proposition 1B funds, as determined by the <br />State Controller's Office. At their meeting on March 4, 2008 the County Board of Supervisors <br />allocated a portion of the County's Proposition 1 B funds to the cities to assist in delivery of their <br />critical transportation and safety projects. <br />Since then, the City has received a total of $2.5 million in County Prop 1 B share to fund Susan <br />Street from Mac Arthur to Sunflower, Fifth Street from Fairview to Jackson, Santiago Avenue <br />from Sixth to Santa Ana Boulevard, and Golden Circle Drive from First Street to 650 feet north of <br />Fourth Street. <br />Most recently, at their December 14, 2010 meeting, the County Board of Supervisors approved <br />an additional allocation of Proposition 1B funds in the amount of $400,000 for improvements to <br />Hazard Avenue from Harbor Boulevard to Euclid Avenue (Exhibit 1). The allocation for Hazard <br />Avenue is a fourth allocation for Fiscal Year 2010/11, and a new County /City cooperative <br />agreement must be executed to receive these funds. This allocation was included in the City's <br />Fiscal Year 2010/11 CIP and will be expended within two years from their receipt of funds. <br />25D -1 <br />
