SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO MEASURE M COOPERATIVE FUNDING AGREEMENT NO. M70106-05 WITH THE SONOMA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (SCTA) FOR SANTA ROSA CREEK TRAIL – DUTTON AVENUE ACCESS (WEST SIDE) PROJECT AGENDA ACTION: RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, approve Amendment No. 2 to the Cooperative Agreement M70106 between the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) and the City of Santa Rosa for the use of Measure M funding in connection with the Santa Rosa Creek Trail – Dutton Avenue Access (West Side) project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This proposed action will approve Amendment No. 2 to the Cooperative Agreement between the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) and the City of Santa Rosa to update and align the Cooperative Agreement’s Financial Plan and schedule with the 2017 SCTA Measure M Strategic Plan for the Santa Rosa Creek Trail – Dutton Avenue Access (West Side) project.
BACKGROUND
In November 2005, the City entered into Cooperative Funding Agreement No. M70106-05 with the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) to construct Santa Rosa Creek trail improvements.
Two phases of the project have been completed. The Santa Rosa Creek Dutton Avenue Access (East Side) – Phase II was completed in 2012. In 2014, the City completed the construction of a pathway along Santa Rosa Creek between Streamside Drive to Mission Circle – Phase I.
The Santa Rosa Creek Trail – Dutton Avenue Access (West Side) – Phase III project is scheduled to be completed in December 2023.
The Cooperative Funding Agreement defines the framework to enable SCTA and the City to work cooperatively in developing bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Santa Rosa Creek.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
On August 16, 2005, the City Council, by Resolution No. 26361, approved Measure M Cooperative Funding Agreement No. M70106-05 between SCTA and the City of Santa Rosa for Measure M funds for the Santa Rosa Creek Trail – Dutton Avenue Access (West Side) project.
On May 8, 2018, the City Council, by Resolution No. RES-2018-068, approved Amendment No. 1 to Measure M Cooperative Funding Agreement No. M70106-05 between SCTA and the City of Santa Rosa.
ANALYSIS
The Second Amendment to the Cooperative Funding Agreement’s Financial Plan and schedule would align with the 2017 SCTA Measure M Strategic Plan for the Santa Rosa Creek Trail improvements – Dutton Avenue access (west side) project. $162,000 of Measure M funding was appropriated in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018/2019 Capital Improvement Program budget for this project. $52,000 was previously made available by SCTA for the project scoping phase. This amendment programs the remaining $110,000 for the design and right of way phases of the project. Upon approval of this amendment, City staff will request SCTA release the remaining $110,000 of Measure M funds for the project.
Approval of the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Funding Agreement provides the mechanism for the City to complete design and right of way activities for Phase III of the Santa Rosa Creek trail improvements.

This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
