CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approv -��
Item to be presented by: Robert G. Newma
DATE: July 9, 2002
SUBJECT: STATE ROUTE 126 MAGIC MOUNTAIN/SAN FERNANDO ROAD —
RELINQUISHMENT ACCEPTANCE
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the Cooperative Agreement to accept State Route 126 and authorize
the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
The City was approached by the State of California regarding relinquishment of
San Fernando Road and Magic Mountain Parkway. As part of the relinquishment process,
AB 635 was introduced to the State Assembly on April 16, 2001, approved by the Governor
on October 11, 2001, and filed with the Secretary of State on October 12, 2001.
Existing law requires that the California Transportation Commission (CTC) relinquish any
portion of any state highway within the city or county that has been deleted from the state
highway system by legislative enactment. These relinquishments become effective upon
the first day of the next calendar or fiscal year, whichever occurs first after the effective
date of the legislative enactment. The effective date of this relinquishment will be
January 1, 2003.
The bill would authorize the CTC to relinquish to the City of Santa Clarita the portion of
State Route 126 (SR -126) that is between Interstate 5 (I-5), and State Route 14 (SR -14),
pursuant to the terms of a Cooperative Agreement between the City of Santa Clarita and
the Department of Transportation.
The City now has legislative authority to take control of the road. Staff has reviewed the
Cooperative Agreement and come to consensus with Caltrans regarding the amount of
State funding necessary to place the road in a state of good repair. At this time, staff
anticipates that the State's final contribution to the City for the relinquishment of
San Fernando Road will be $5,540,000.00. These funds would be used for road maintenance
and improvements to drainage, guardrail barrier replacement, and signal modifications.

STATE ROUTE 126 MAGIC MOUNTAIN/SAN FERNANDO ROAD
RELINQUISHMENT ACCEPTANCE
July 9, 2002 — Page 2
This relinquishment would benefit the City, as these sections of roadway are main corridors
through the City. This roadway is used as the 4th of July parade route, the Santa Clarita
Marathon route, and most recently for the Golf Classic, as well as the street fair through
Downtown Newhall.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Payment of the State's final contribution of $5,540,000.00 to the City of Santa Clarita fully
meets the State's responsibility to place SR -126 in a state of good repair. The City shall
accept relinquishment of all of the State's rights, title, and interest in said highway,
without any additional cost to the State.
