ITEM EXPLANATION The recently passed 5-Cent Gas Tax Funding has been allocated primarily to the State for Interstate Highways. Staff has attempted to get funding for the bridge project included in considerations for allocation from these funds. In order to do that, CALTRANS has requested a declaration of intention to fund the project. Attached is a resolution that would accomplish that without conmitting the City irretrievably to fund the bridge by itself. FISCAL IMPACT If Federal Funds can be made available, this would represent a potential and substantial savings to local funding sources. Currently the bridge widening is estimated at $1.2 million, of which $1.1 million is construction costs, and $100,000 is project engineering and contract management costs. EXHIBITS 1.

Kackley, Jr. City Engineer 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, Ca 92003-1939 Attention L. C. Dossey Refer to our letter of March 14, 19^3 informing you that the Project Authorization Report (PAR) for the proposed Palomar Airport Road interchange improvement was approved. As noted in that letter, the PAR was approved on the basis of 100 percent local funding of project costs, but was not included in the current STIP (State Transportation Improvement Program) because no funding commitment has been made or source of funds identified. Total project cost is estimated to be $1,460,000, including $1,100",000 for construction and $360,000 for preliminary and construction engineering costs. If satisfactory evidence of City commitment to funding _the project within the five year STIP program period (FY 'Sj-FI-|3?) is obtained by May 15» the proposed project can be included in tha 1933 proposed STIP being submitted for adoption by the California Transportation Commission. To take advantage of this opportunity it will be necessary for the Carlsbad City Council to adopt a resolution declaring City intention to fund all project costs for the proposed interchange improvement. The resolution should identify the intended source of project funds and the year funds are expected to be available. The" funding source may be the City Public Facilities Fund, estab- lishment of a special assessment district, contributions by developers as mitigation for environmental impacts, Federal devel- opment funds, etc. When the Council Resolution is passed, notification of the District by telephone will be satisfactory to save time.
