DEPT. 18,587 6/6/2006 ENG TITLE: APPROVAL OF THE 2006 FIVE-YEAR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (RTIP) DEPT.hof^ CiTYATTY,^^ CITY MGR. ^P RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2006-142 approving the 2006 five-year Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for Carlsbad. ITEM EXPLANATION: The 2006 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a program of proposed highway, arterial, transit, and bikeway projects for Fiscal Years 2006/07 through 2010/11. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is required by State and Federal laws to develop and adopt the RTIP every two years. The 2006 RTIP is due to the State by August 1, 2006. Each City in the region must adopt their recommended RTIP project list following a public hearing process. The public hearing allows citizens an opportunity to comment on the City's RTIP project list. The public hearing which will be held at the J^!16 6,2006city Council meeting, was set and noticed in the local papers for the required ten, or more, days. The RTIP project list must be adopted biennially by each participating SANDAG agency that desires to expend TransNet and/or certain Federal and State funds. 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 TransNet Ordinance requires that proposed TransNet funded projects be included in the RTIP. The Federal Metropolitan Planning and Air Quality Conformity Regulations also require inclusion of all regionally significant capacity increasing road projects for air quality emissions analysis. The proposed Carlsbad 2006 RTIP project list includes projects with the following funding types: • Federal Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement (HBRR) Program • Federal SAFETEA-LU (High Priority) • SANDAG TransNet Local (L) • Regionally Significant Capacity Increasing Projects Regardless of Funding Source The complete RTIP project list for Carlsbad which identifies the funding source(s), project cost, and funding year is attached as Exhibit 1. The TransNet funds as programmed in the 2006 RTIP project list will provide significant funding for the continued improvement of roadways throughout Carlsbad. The ECR Improvement Project is programmed to receive $3,300,000 in TransNet funding in FY 06/07, $950,000 in FY 08/09 and $800,000 in FY 10/11. The Pavement Management Program is programmed to receive TransNet funds each year ranging from $2,550,000 to 2,650,000 in FY 10/11. The programmed TransNet funding for the Carlsbad Blvd. bridges over Las Encinas Creek, the warm water jetty at the power station and the railroad just south of State Street will provide the local matching funds for the Federal HBRR funding identified for the projects. In addition to TransNet funded projects the 2006 RTIP project list includes the Poinsettia Lane Reach E project which has received an allocation of $1,600,000 in Federal SAFETEA-LU, High Priority Project funds. The Carlsbad 2006 RTIP project list also includes capacity increasing roadway projects located along regionally significant arterials, regardless of the funding source. The projects in this category are Cannon Road Reach 4, College Boulevard Reach A and Poinsettia Lane Reach E. Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This activity is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15276, which states that CEQA does not apply to the adoption of regional transportation improvement programs. FISCAL IMPACT: Approving the RTIP is a requirement under State law for receiving TransNet, Federal and State funds. Approval of the RTIP ensures eligibility for funding and programs the funding so that positive cash flow is maintained. Inclusion in the RTIP, however, is not a guarantee that 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. EXHIBITS: 1.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Carlsbad City Council held on the 6th day of June , 2006 by the following vote, to wit: AYES: Council Members Lewis, Hall, Kulchin, Packard, Sigafoose None LORRAINE M. WOOD, City Clerk (SEAL) Lorraine .Wood -Jtem # 14- 2006 Five year RTIP Program Page 1 From: "Dand D2" <dandd2@peoplepc.com> To: <council@ci. carlsbad. ca.us> Date: 06/05/2006 9:42:53 PM Subject: Item # 14- 2006 Five year RTIP Program Honorable Mayor and Council We are not able to attend the City Council meeting tomorrow night but ask that you include this email as part of the record and include it in your deliberations of this item. Cannon Road Reach 4 has been added to this update with the entire project cost of $ 34m in local funds to be expended in 2010-2011. This action does not seem to be consistent with a number of other recent/planned city actions. Please have staff clarify the following apparent inconsistencies: 1 . This road segment causes a traffic failure for the 2030 traffic conditions for the Robertson Ranch project- as identified in Mitigation Measure T12 of the proposed final EIR dated April 2006 and heard but put over at the Planning Commission meeting of May 31, 2006. If the city is knowingly proceeding with this project that will cause traffic failures then is it the city's intent to build this very expensive road, using local taxpayer funds, that will cause traffic failures- and then claim this is an unavoidable traffic impact ? 2. In the current adopted city budget Cannon Road Reach 4 does not even show as an unfunded project. Will these $ 34m of local funds be added to the budget update currently in process so local taxpayers are informed of the consequences of this project? 3. There was a prior allocation of Transnet funds for the environmental analysis for this project, but these funds do not show on Exhibit 1 . Why are these funds not shown? Does this mean that the current total project cost is even higher than $ 34 m? If so, what is the total estimated project cost for this 1 .3 mile road segment? Is there a point at which you might start to think- perhaps this is just too costly a project for our taxpayers to have to pay for or is the cost of no concern? 4. The project shows a local funding requirement of $ 34 m. There is only about $ 23m remaining in the funds set aside two years ago for the 4 Measure C projects. These funds are also supposed to fund the emergency services training facility, and open space and trails. How does the city expect to pay for this road, and the other remaining items, when there are insufficient funds remaining in the account? 5. 100% of the expenditures are programmed for a single year- 2010/1 1 . Large capital projects like this do not complete engineering, design and construction in a single year. Why are these project expenditures being shown this way? 6. Please clarify how this proposed project expenditure is consistent with the SANDAG guidelines for the 5 year RTIP update. We request that these questions be fully answered before including this project in the RTIP Update.
