Item #6 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 20, 2003 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER 0 SUBJECT: APPROVE AND ADOPT THE AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. R-116-01 AND ELIMINATING THE "PARK AND RIDE" TCM PROJECT, CONTRACT NO. 00-097 FROM THE CURRENT CIP LIST DATE: MAY 12, 2003 BACKGROUND: hi the 1980's, local government agencies were included under Regulation 15 of the California Congestion Management Plan and were required to intensify their efforts in the improvement of air quality standards for the South Coast Region. The Park and Ride Project was initiated as one of the projects to meet this program requirement. The Project is located northerly of the I-10 Freeway, easterly of Sperry Drive and southerly of Fairway Drive, within the San Bernardino County Flood Control property. The project was originally intended to be a joint effort between the County of San Bernardino (vacant Flood Control Property) and City of Colton, which originally proposed to lease the property for a Park and Ride Facility. Negotations broke off when the County accepted an offer from the developer of the now existing Fairway Drive Homes Project, indicating a value on the vacant Flood Control property. The project lay dormant for many years. On March 1, 2000, "Park and Ride" TCM Project, Contract No. 00-097 (adopted by Resolution No. R-116-01) was rejuvenated by CMAQ Funding, with an allocation of $549,000. An additional $155,000 was set aside in Measure I CIP Funds. Furthermore the City applied for and received Grant Funding from California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee in the amount of $250,000 and $240,000 respectively, to construct a compressed natural gas (CNG) / liquefied natural gas (CNG) station at the Park and Ride site.
