We have recently completed two projects at a cost savings and we need to refund fund balances to SANDAG so that the monies can be allocated to other projects in the Region.

Claim 139 250.77 TOTAL $9,313.09 BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: In FY 1975-76, we obtained $20,475 (Claim 108) for the installation of bicycle lanes on Telegraph Canyon Road from Hilltop Drive to Otay Lakes Road from the SANDAG Bicycle Facilities Committee. This project was completed about eight years ago, but the fund balance ($12,827 plus interest earned) was never returned to The SANDAG - now 1983 84 audit showed that we had eat fund balance TDA funded in ths projects. account of $23,775. We requested permission from SANDAG (Council Resolution No. 11219) to utilize this fund balance to spot widen Otay Lakes Road and to install bicycles lanes from Bonita Road to East "H" Street. This fund transfer was approved by SANDAG in May 1984. We completed the project and we still have a fund balance of $9,062.32 which needs to be returned to SANDAG. The other project we completed and having a fund balance of $250.77 was the preparation of the City's Bicycle Route Facilities Report approved in June 1980 by SANDAG (Claim 139).

It should be noted that $5,000 of the refund amount will be used by SANDAG to fund the San Diego Bay Bikeway Route signing proposed by the Bicycle Facility Committee in October 1985. This signing project is intended to make the Route more attractive and will be onalstalled along the route which traverses the cities of San Diego, Imperial Beach, Coronado, and Chula Vista. The sign was approved for use within our City by the Redevelopment Agency in October 17, 1985. The return of fund balances to SANDAG is now mandatory and it is intended to provide all agencies the opportunity to construct more bicycle facility projects. The TDA fund will be monitored more closely by the auditors and by the SANDAG Bicycle Facilities Committee (BFC) . Any funds which lie idle for a period of two years will be returned by the local agency to SANDAG and reallocated by the BFC to other projects in the region. The reallocation of returned funds (both those found to be idle and those from fund balances after the project has been completed) will occur in conjunction with the BFC' s annual TDA fund allocation rreg ionalmi importance special c such as allocation the San Dieo project Bay found to be of significant Bikeway Route Signing Project.
