AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENTS
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute on
behalf of the City all Letters of Agreement, Memorandums of Understanding, and any other
necessary grant documents with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for grant funds
awarded to the City in Fiscal Year 2002/03, subject to City Attorney approval.
Through the 2000 and 2001 MTA Call for Projects, the Golden Valley Road/Soledad Canyon
Road Interchange and the Transit Maintenance Facility were programmed for grant funds
in the amount of $10,218,000 starting in Fiscal Year 2002/03. The next step in the grant
award process is to enter into a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for State funds allocated by the
MTA.
The LOAs are agreements between the City and the MTA that specify how the grant funds
will flow to the City over the next two fiscal years, and will define the proposed scope of
work and schedule for each project. The resolution will authorize the City Manager or
designee to execute the LOAs and any other necessary grant documents on behalf of the
City. Staff will return to the City Council with each project for authorization to award the
construction contracts.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
No alternative action has been identified by staff.

FISCAL IMPACT
Over the next two years, the City will receive the $10,218,000 in MTA grant funds, and will
be responsible for providing $30,892,000 in other grant funds and local match funds for the
two projects collectively. The local match funds are a combination of General Funds,
Proposition A Local Return Funds, Bridge and Thoroughfare Fees, developer contributions,
and federal transit grant funds. The required local match funds for both projects are
included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2002/03 City budget. The local match funds needed for
Fiscal Year 2003/04 have not yet been identified and will be requested as part of the Fiscal
Year 2003/04 budget process.
