BACKGROUND
Funding from the developer -funded Valencia Bridge and Thoroughfare (B&T) District is needed
to continue work on a portion of the City's Cross Valley Connector project, the Gap Closure.
This project will extend Newhall Ranch Road from Interstate 5 to Copper Hill Drive. This
improvement is a critical component of the City's circulation element and is B&T eligible.
Funds in the amount of $503,000 are needed from the Valencia B&T District to begin the
relocation of of Southern California Gas Company's 34 -inch high pressure gas mainline to
complete the work on the Gap Closure section of Newhall Ranch Road. The Gas Company
requested advance payment to pay the cost to design and relocate these facilities. This work must
precede the road construction.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Valencia Bridge and Thoroughfare District has a cuiTent available fund balance of
approximately $504,600. The appropriation to Account No. S1001304-8001 in the amount of
$503,000 will reduce the available fund balance to approximately $1,600. A developer
contribution is expected in an amount which is sufficient to cover increased costs of the utility
relocation work. These funds will be used to reimburse the Valencia Bridge and Thoroughfare
District.
