RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2013-080 . accepting the grants and authorizing the Administrative Services
Director to appropriate funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City of Carlsbad successfully received four San Diego Association of Governments Active
Transportation Grants (SANDAG) in October 2012. Authorization from SANDAG was executed in
Spring of 2013. Staff is requesting that City Council accept the grants and authorize the Administrative
Services Director to appropriate funds for three of the grants as described in the Fiscal impact Section
below and as outlined in the table on the foiiowing page.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within
the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the
environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore
does not require environmental review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All the grants are reimbursement grants and all grant related expenditures, excluding city match cash
and city match in-kind services, are 100% reimbursable. Staff requests City Council authorize the
Administrative Services Director to appropriate funds to three grants related to the Carlsbad Active
Transportation Strategies Plan, Active Village Campaign, and Bike the Village: Bike Racks and
Corrals grants identified on the next page. The Roundabout/Trail grant and matching funds will be
brought forward during the FY 13/14 Capital Improvement Program. Appropriation of the grant funds
allows the projects to be completed as described in the agenda bill on Juiy 10, 2012 and executed
with SANDAG.
