Adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to submit projects for funding consideration under the Measure M Combined Transportation Funding Programs. 2. Direct staff to amend the seven-year Capital Improvement Program to incorporate the Combined Transportation Funding Programs projects list. DISCUSSION The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has issued a final call for projects under the current Measure M Combined Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP) for FY 08/09 through FY 10/11. Funding in the amount of $40.9 million is available countywide in four different funding program areas. The CTFP programs designated for funding are: Intersection Improvement Program (ITP), Signal Improvement Program (SIP), Transportation Demand Management (TDM), and Growth Management Area (GMA). The City of Santa Ana will be submitting nine applications totaling $13.55 million in grant fund requests. The City will utilize existing & future Measure M turnback and other federal grant funds to provide the required matching funds for the subject requested projects. Staff is requesting authorization for the following projects, listed by funding program and fiscal year(s): RECOMMENDED PROJECTS PROGRAM GRANT AMOUNT FY BristoljWarner intersection widening Bristol/17th intersection widening Grand/Dyer intersection widening IIP & GMA $3.2 Million IIP & GMA $3.5 Million IIP $3 Million 10/11 09/10 09/10 21 A-1 Measure M Combined Transportation Funding Programs - Grant Applications February 4, 2008 Page 2 RECOMMENDED PROJECTS PROGRAM GRANT AMOUNT FY Grand/Edinger intersection widening Grand Ave. Widening between First and Fourth Streets Warner Ave Traffic Management Grand Ave ITS Upgrade Grand Total IIP $3 Million 09/10 GMA $0.15 Million 08/09 SIP $0.25 Million 08/09 SIP $0.25 Million 08/09 $13.35 Million To evaluate these funding proposals, OCTA requirements stipulate that the projects must be included in the seven-year City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Some of these projects are in various stages of the project development process and in these cases, because specific funding sources had not yet been determined, they were not included in the seven-year CIP. Therefore, in order to be considered for this CTFP grant funding cycle, it is necessary to amend the seven-year CIP to include these improvements. Given the need for these street improvements and the eligibility requirements defined by OCTA, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing submittal of these project applications for funding consideration and direct staff to incorporate the projects into the seven-year CIP. The City anticipates a response to the grant funding request in May 2008 and an OCTA Board action on the call for projects in June 2008. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT The required matching funds on these projects will be provided in the year of expenditure.
