ENG CITY ATTY. -$I’@- I RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 9 8 *$fL approving the Six-Year 199804 Regional Transportation Improvement Program/TransNet Program of Projects for Carlsbad. I ITEM EXPLANATION: The 1998-2004 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (Regional TIP or RTIP) is a six-year program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit and bikeway projects. The San Diego Association of Governments is required by State and Federal law to develop and adopt a Regional TIP every two years. The 1998-04 RTIP is due to the State by August 1, 1998. Most major transportation projects must be included in the approved RTIP prior to receiving certain categories of State and Federal funding and Federal project approvals. In addition, the “Proposition A (TransNet): San Diego Transportation Improvement Program - Ordinance and Expenditure Plan” also requires that proposed TransNet funded projects be included in the RTIP. In addition, the Federal Metropolitan Planning and Air Quality Conformity Regulations requires inclusion of all regionally significant capacity increasing road projects for air quality emissions analysis. Each City in the region must adopt a recommended six-year local streets and roads project list following a public hearing process. The public hearing must allow the public an opportunity to comment on the City’s RTIP list. This plan must be adopted biennially by the agencies participating in SANDAG that wish to use TransNet funds. I The RTIP includes all projects with the following funding: 0 Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) 0 Federal Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement (HBRR) Program l SANDAG TransNet Local (L) 0 SANDAG TransNet Highway (H) 0 Capacity Increasing Privately Funded over $300,000 Federal Surface TransDortation Program Funds anticipated under the STP program will be applied towards the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road ($2 million) and Melrose Drive ($3 millioa) projects. Projects receiving these funds must meet strict Federal funding requirements. In addition, the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road project was recently granted an additional $2.25 million in High Priority Project funds authorized pursuant to the recently enacted Transportation Equity Act for the 21”’ Century (TEA-21). Federal Hiahwav Bridae Rehabilitation and ReDlacement Proqram Last year, the City received a commitment of $6.1 million dollars for the replacement of the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road bridge over San Marcos Creek. Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. Tj; 7 7& - TransNet - Local The RTIP program shows a projected allocation of TransNet local funds over the next six years of approximately 17 million dollars. The projects which will receive these funds are as follows: South Carlsbad Village Storm Drain $3,760,000 Six-Year Sidewalk Construction Program $3,100,000 Six-Year Pavement Management (Overlay) Program $8,300,000 Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge Replacement $600,000* Palomar Airport Road Widening, El Camino Real to Melrose $550,000 Palomar Airport Road Widening, El Camino Real to Yarrow $700,000 *An additional $500,000 in TransNet local funds were allocated for the Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge Replacement Project in the last fiscal year. TransNet - Hinhwav Funds in this category that benefit the City of Carlsbad are from the SANDAG SR 78 Corridor Reserve Project list. This past fiscal year, the City collected $4.2 million dollars in TransNet Highway Funds for the Cannon Road West Reach 1 project. The only remaining project within the City eligible for these funds is Cannon Road Reach 3 from El Camino Real to College Boulevard. Funds totaling $1,150,000 are allocated for this project from this source. A complete list of 1998-2004 RTIP projects is attached as Exhibit I. The Local category refers to projects with anticipated funding from City developer fee programs or other City sources. All regionally significant capacity increasing transportation projects which require City funding or are funded through developer impact or district fees are included in the 1998-99 Capital Improvement Program. The Private category refers to anticipated funding from private developer sources. For the City to maintain its eligibility to receive TransNet funds, the Council must certify that the various provisions of the TransNet Ordinance will be complied with in regards to the projects listed on the Six-Year RTIP. The key provisions which require certification are as follows: Section 8. Maintenance of Effort - The City must annually maintain as a minimum the same level of local discretionary funds expended for street and road purposes as was reported in the State Controller’s Annual Report of Financial Transactions for Streets and Roads - Fiscal Year 1984-85. Section 9. Private Sector Funding - Requires that TransNet funds shall not be used to replace private developer funding which has been or will be committed for any project. Section 12 Establishment of Separate Accounts - The City shall deposit TransNet funds in a separate Transportation Improvement Account and designate that any interest earned on the funds shall be used only for the purpose for which the funds were allocated. Section 16. Designation of Facilities - Each project in excess of $250,000 funded in whole or part by TransNet revenues shall be clearly designated during construction as being provided from the TransNet Measure. Staff have reviewed each of the various provisions and found that they are currently and will continue to be complied with for each of those projects receiving TransNet funds for the next six year period. Page 3 of Agenda Bill No. FISCAL IMPACT: Approving the RTIP is a requirement under State law for receiving TransNet, Federal and State funds. It is also a requirement to receive TransNet funds. Approval of the RTIP ensures eligibility for funding and programs the funding so that a positive cash flow is maintained. Inclusion in the RTIP, however, is not necessarily a guarantee that the projects will receive the stated funding. The amounts shown are the best available estimates of anticipated funding. In the event that funding falls short or is not available, the City Council is not obligated to proceed with a project just because it is included in the RTIP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This action to approve the RTIP project list has been found to be exempt from the CEQA process by the Planning Director pursuant to Section 15276 of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that CEQA does not apply to the adoption of regional transportation improvement programs. It should be noted that individual projects developed pursuant to the RTIP are subject to CEQA.
