Meeting Date: 10/10/06
Council approved the receipt of $201,560 in California Department of Transportation grant funds
and appropriated these funds to the FY06 budget with Council Resolution 2006-015. These
appropriations were unused during FY06 due to delays in completing the General Plan Update and
the need to advertise twice to obtain competitive bids.
The Eastern Chula Vista Traffic Demand Management Program is a residential-based program
centered on marketing and information campaigns directly in thl: community. Council approved
the receipt of $414,325 in Air Pollution Control District grant funds with Council Resolution 2004-
121. This program got a late start due to contract negotiations with bus companies and a delayed
advertising campaign, but in FY06 $25,712 was spent of the budgeted appropriation to pay for bus
services. Staff estimates program completion no later than December 2007.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICTS:
Not Applicable
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section
I 8704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Tonight's resolution will appropriate $590,173 in grant funding for transportation and traffic
reduction projects. Expenditures for these projects are fully offset by the grant revenues. There is
no impact to the General Fund as a result of this appropriation.
