ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 09
GOVERNMENT CODE § 84308 APPLIES: NO
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by Motion, approve the Agreement for Maintenance of Traffic Signals and Safety Lighting between the City of Fullerton and the City of Anaheim for maintenance of traffic signals and safety lighting at five (5) shared intersections and authorize the Director of Public Works to take such actions as are necessary to implement and administer the Cooperative Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, the City of Anaheim has existing maintenance agreements with the City of Fullerton for shared traffic signals. The purpose of the agreements is to share the maintenance cost of traffic signals and safety lighting. The current maintenance agreements are for the four shared intersections between Anaheim and Fullerton, which are listed below.

As part of a private development, the City of Fullerton is installing a new traffic signal at Lemon Street and Liberty Avenue which is located between the jurisdictions of the City of Fullerton and the City of Anaheim. Lemon Street is in Fullerton’s jurisdiction and Liberty Avenue on the east side is in Anaheim’s jurisdiction. The City of Fullerton will maintain and operate this new traffic signal. Fullerton will also be responsible for 100% of the cost for installing the traffic signal at
Lemon Street and Liberty Avenue. Since it is a shared jurisdiction, Anaheim will need to pay its fair share of the maintenance cost.
Cooperative Agreement with the City of Fullerton for Maintenance of Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting at Shared Intersections
April 8, 2025
The maintenance cost of the new shared intersection at Lemon Street and Liberty Avenue will be split at 75% City of Fullerton and 25% City of Anaheim.

This revised Cooperative Agreement will add the new shared traffic signal to the existing list of shared intersections and supersede the previous agreements. The existing shared cost percentages will remain the same.
This project supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal C: Invest in Infrastructure and Amenities.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Maintenance costs are expected to be less than $2,500 per year. Sufficient funding is available in the Public Works Department’s General Fund Budget.
