Item #14 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of December 4, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council APPROVAL: Kathy A. Ki I , is n to t e ty Manager/Acting Public Works Director FROM: James King, Pu I' Works Eng' ring Supervisor SUBJECT: Approve and adopt the authorizing resolution for submittal of Projects for 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program to San Bernardino Associated Governments DATE: November 23, 2001 BACKGROUND: The San Bernardino Associated Governments, (SANBAG) has requested the submittal of projects proposed for inclusion in the 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). As part of the update system for the 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program, each project submitted must be regionally significant and involve Federal Funds. The RTIP Program was developed to promote network planning among various public agencies. In order for a project to be eligible for Federal -Aid Funds, it must be included in the current RTIP. The Federal Highway Administration reviews the proposed RTIP to ensure that it is fiscally constrained. DISCUSSION: Staff catalogued and reviewed twenty projects to propose for inclusion in the new 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 RTIP. Staff insured all grant funded joint projects were included in the new RTIP. Attached is a list of projects for reference. It is important to note, based on the City's capital improvement budget and the financial guideline constraints of the RTIP, the largest majority of the projects are posed for future construction after the third year of the RTIP. This change in timeline does not restrict the City from entering into agreements or completing the projects prior to the timelines. What the extensions allows is the City to secure potential funding from other revenue sources to construct the project improvements instead of having to find local monies to implement the improvements. By moving the completion dates the Council is able to adopt a financially constrained RTIP and adopt the enclosed resolution. The individual project forms are available for review. In order to add projects to the RTIP, it is necessary for the City Council to adopt a Resolution authorizing the submittal of projects for 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no significant financial impact to the City, in as much as the purpose of this action is to establish an eligibility list of projects for the 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program. However, the City of Colton, by resolution, certifies that the City will allocate the necessary local match funds contained within the project to carry out any federally approved project. The document before you is financially constrained and consistent with SANBAG's guidelines and the City of Colton's adopted two-year budget.
