RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a cooperative agreement with the Cities of La Habra, Fullerton, Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Fountain Valley, identifying each city’s roles and responsibilities, including Santa Ana’s match requirement of $113,827, for the implementation of the Euclid Street Corridor Traffic Signal Synchronization Project, for a term beginning upon full approval of the agreement by all parties and ending December 31, 2028, with an option for extension upon written agreement by all parties (Agreement No. A-2024-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
On November 16, 2021, the City Council authorized staff to submit joint applications with participating agencies to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to request funding consideration for the renewed Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. The cooperative agreement for the Euclid Street Corridor Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (Euclid Street Project) would provide for inter- jurisdictional traffic signal synchronization and improvements along the corridor traversing the cities of Santa Ana, La Habra, Fullerton, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, and Caltrans (Exhibit 1).
On March 9, 2022, the OCTA Board approved the Measure M2 funding request for the Euclid Street Project. While the City of La Habra will act as the lead agency for the project, a cooperative agreement is necessary to identify the roles and responsibilities of each participating agency to maintain inter-jurisdictional synchronization during the three-year grant period (Exhibit 2). Upon project completion, responsibility for ongoing signal maintenance will revert to the respective local agencies.
