RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2006-367 approving the Master Agreement Administering Agency-State
Agreement for Federal-Aid Projects (Agreement No. 11-5308R) and authorizing the City Manager, or
his designated representative, to execute Program Supplemental Agreements, and/or any
amendments thereto with the California Department of Transportation.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Federal-Aid project funding to the City of Carlsbad is administered by the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans). The agreement under which this is done is referred to as the "Master
Agreement". All transportation and storm damage repair projects which receive Federal or State
funding are processed by a supplemental agreement which refers to this Master Agreement. The
Master Agreement was last modified and approved by the City Council on July 22, 1997. The
Department of Transportation has made slight modifications to this agreement which requires that
Council approve the latest Agreement No. 11-5308R. The City Manager, or his designated
representative, will be authorized to execute Program Supplement Agreements to receive payment of
State and Federal funds for transportation and storm damage repair projects approved by Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The proposed Master Agreement is exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act as it is not a project as defined by sections 15002(d) and 15378 of Title 14,
Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations. Environmental review will be completed on each
individual project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A signed Master Agreement is required in order to receive any Federal or State funding for
transportation or storm damage repair projects. The Master Agreement does not authorize any
Federal or State funds. Authorization is done with Supplemental Agreements which are executed for
each project. Authorizing the City Manager, or his designated representative, to execute California
Department of Transportation Program Supplemental Agreements, and/or any amendments will
reduce administration costs and streamline the approval process.
