Agenda Item No. 8

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: July 22, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
FROM: Greg Ray, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Erin Wiggin, CIP Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) related to allocation of state and regional funding and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.

BACKGROUND
The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) has proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement covering the allocation of Urban Area Apportionment (USHA), Regional State Highway Account (RSHA) and Regional Early Access Planning (REAP) funds. The Cooperative Agreement was last updated in 2021 and changes in Amendment No. 1 include updating fund balances and funding sources. Each SLOCOG member agency is requested to approve the Amendment, shown in Attachment 1.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact directly from approval of the Amendment. However, approval of the Amendment enables the City to continue utilizing funding provided by SLOCOG and seek reimbursement. This includes a balance of $213,600 of Urban State Highway Accounts (USHA) which could be allocated to the West Grand Avenue Streetscape Project (CIP 2287) or the N. 4th Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project (CIP 2285). The funding balances also include $1,749,984 in REAP funding and $1,711,701 in RSHA which are both currently allocated to the West Grand Avenue Streetscape Project. The Cooperative Agreement will be updated periodically to include additional USHA annual apportionments.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement; or

2. Do not approve the Amendment as presented and provide additional direction to staff; or

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

EXHIBIT C
Project Eligibility by Fund Program - Project eligibility requirements by funding program are summarized below.

I. Regional Surface Transportation Program. The Surface Transportation Program (STP) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and localities for projects to preserve and improve the conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge and tunnel projects on any public road, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and transit capital projects, including intercity bus terminals. SLOCOG’s 2014 RTP will provide guidance on priority routes for regional funding consideration.

The STP program supports national performance goals as defined in FAST-Act, but there are no measures tied specifically to this program. Eligible costs for funds under these programs include pre-project initiation documents (Pre-PID), project study reports (PSR), preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way acquisition (RW), capital costs, and construction costs associated with an eligible activity.

Eligible Project Activities:
• Construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, resurfacing, restoration, preservation, or operational improvements for highways, streets, and roads; bikeways and other surface transportation improvements.
• Replacement, rehabilitation, and preservation of bridges on any public road, including construction or reconstruction necessary to accommodate other modes. • Construction of new bridges on a Federal-aid highway. • Capital costs for transit projects eligible for assistance under chapter 53 of title 49, including vehicles and facilities used to provide intercity passenger bus service. • Carpool projects, fringe and corridor parking facilities and programs, including electric and natural gas vehicle charging infrastructure, bicycle transportation and pedestrian walkways, and ADA sidewalk modification.
• Highway and transit safety infrastructure improvements and programs, installation of safety barriers and nets on bridges, hazard eliminations, mitigation of hazards caused by wildlife, railway-highway grade crossings.
• Highway and transit plans research and development.
• Capital and operating costs for traffic monitoring, management and control facilities and programs, including advanced truck stop electrification. • Surface transportation planning.
• Transportation Alternatives; newly defined, includes most transportation enhancement eligibilities with the exception of landscaping.
• Transportation control measures (e.g. as defined by region’s APCD Clean Air Plan) • Development and establishment of transportation management systems. • Environmental mitigation efforts
• Modifications to intersections with high accident rates or levels of congestion. • Infrastructure-based ITS capital improvements consistent with the Central Coast ITS Implementation Plan.
• Environmental restoration and pollution abatement.

SLOCOG RSTP Exchange/STBG General Cooperative Agreement page 7 • Control of noxious weeds and establishment of native species. • Congestion pricing projects and strategies, including electric toll collection and travel demand management strategies and programs.
• Recreational trails projects.
• Construction of marine terminals.
• Truck parking facilities.
• Surface transportation infrastructure modifications within port terminal boundaries, only if necessary to facilitate direct intermodal interchange, transfer, and access into and out of the port.
• Construction and operational improvements for a minor collector in the same corridor and in proximity to an NHS route if the improvement is more cost-effective (as determined by a benefit-cost analysis) than an NHS improvement and will enhance NHS level of service and regional traffic flow.

Available Funding
• Direct urban and rural apportionment up to minimum required equal to 110%, plus 15%, of the FY 1990/91 allocation of Federal Aid Secondary (FAS) based upon 2010 census data (initiated in 2015).

EXHIBIT D
General Programming Policies - All Fund Programs
SLOCOG’s 2014 Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy identifies an overall goal to develop a multi-modal transportation system which is balanced, coordinated, safe, cost effective, environmentally sound, economically supportive, meeting all the financially reasonable transportation needs of all citizens in San Luis Obispo County. General programming policies affecting the decision making and project selection of the surface transportation system are summarized as follows:

1. SLOCOG will strive to be fair and equitable in the allocation of funding between the various subregions in the county and among member jurisdictions.

2. SLOCOG will adhere to the federal and state statutes, policies, regulations and guidelines applicable to each fund being allocated, and require recipients of grants to do the same.

3. SLOCOG will recommend projects for funding that are:
• Deliverable
• Consistent with the goals, policies, and programs of the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan
• Regionally Significant
• Responsive to immediate funding and project needs
• Consistent with specific criteria of a particular funding program • High likelihood of leveraging other funding (state, federal and/or local)

4. SLOCOG will seek to implement all programs in a timely and efficient manner.

5. SLOCOG will seek to maximize the use of the funds for general public benefit, and will marshal other funds when possible to complete funded projects by prioritizing joint-funded projects.

6. SLOCOG will integrate social equity factors in to the decision making process by applying the findings generated from the Disadvantaged Communities Assessment that is now amended in to the 2014 RTP/SCS.

7. SLOCOG will, to the extent feasible, assure the integration of all projects with jurisdiction, region and statewide transportation plans, providing a comprehensive, systematic approach to resolving transportation problems in the region.

8. SLOCOG will retain maximum flexibility of federal programs under FAST ACT, where feasible, and will also seek to exchange Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) (federal) funds for Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Exchange (state) funds, for reasons of cost efficiency and simplicity in administration. Through the RSTP Exchange funds ultimately become (local) funds.

9. SLOCOG will retain a continuing commitment to emphasize quality and promote excellence in the development of competitive proposals, seeking to fund the best possible projects in terms of cost effectiveness, public benefit and regional and local significance.

10. SLOCOG will reserve discretionary funds for advance development work to ensure regionally significant projects are well scoped, alternatives assessed, accurate estimates prepared, and a finance plan for implementation is developed.

11. SLOCOG will reserve off-the-top funding for programs identified in the 2014 RTP/SCS, including Transportation Demand Management (i.e. Rideshare), Active Transportation SLOCOG RSTP Exchange/STBG General Cooperative Agreement page 9 Partnership Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program and Safe Routes to School.

12. SLOCOG will maintain funding commitments for existing programmed projects as long as those projects have achieved the project delivery milestones set out at the time of programming. Unavoidable delays to the project delivery milestones will be considered on a case by case basis.

13. SLOCOG will commit a portion of discretionary funding to match and leverage other competitive state-wide grant programs (e.g. new SB1 programs, State of CA Active Transportation Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for projects of regional significance.)

14. SLOCOG may consider using the above referenced fund sources to address surface transportation needs as identified in the June 7th 2017 SLCOOG Board Staff Report item B-3 2018 RTIP Fund Assumptions Programming Approach - Table 2 Sections 1, 2, and 3, and defer the programming of funds on needs identified in Section 4 (Other Multi-Modal Needs, including bicycle, pedestrian, and public transit related needs).
