Meeting Date 5-12-81
Resolution ~~~~i .Approving reimbursement of the Gersten
Company for a portlon of the cost of signal installation
at Telegraph Canyon Road and Paseo del Rey and
appropriating funds therefor
SUBMITTED BY: l\~MJ (4/5ths Vote: Yes x No_l
City Engi neer 'P v
In August 1978, the City implemented a system of traffic signal
participation fees based upon traffic generation. In November
1979, installation of a traffic signal at Telegraph Canyon Road
and Paseo del Rey was completed. The cost of the signal
$46,136.03 was underwritten by the Gersten Company as a condition
of approval of E1 Rancho del Rey Unit No.5 subdivision.
ITEM TITLE:
Under the provisions of the Traffic Signal Participation Policy
that development is subject to a maximum participation of
$32,340.00. The developer is therefore e1 igible for
reimbursement from the Traffic Signal Fund in the amount of
$13,796.03. It is therefore my
RECOMMENDATION: That City Counci 1 :
1.
Appropriate $13,796.03 from the unappropriated balance of
the Traffic Signal Fund to account 211-2110-5420 for the
purpose of maki ng the reimbursement, and
2 .
Direct the Director of Finance to make the refund to the
Gersten Company.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The time between the requirement to construct and the actual
construction of this signal covered an extended period.
Concurrently, the Traffic Signal Participation Policy was
approved, implemented and revised. The subdivision improvement
agreement provided for reimbursement, but made no provision
concerning terms of reimbursement for signal construction because
the City had no broad traffic signal participation policy at that
time.
Staff is worki ng on a rei mbursement program for Tel egraph Canyon
Road. This program was discussed in the Tentative Map conditions
and in fact the costs for the traffi c si gnal were intended to be
~0ncluded in that reimbursement district. However, since the City
.,%i\'has adopted a Traffic Signal Participation Program, we recommend
, that costs for traffic signal s not be a part of the road program
but.be included in the Traffic Signal Program. There will be
other traffic signal constructed along Telegraph Canyon Road
(i.e., Paseo Ladera and Otay Lakes Road) which will be funded
from the Traffic Signal Participation Program.

Specific authorization for this reimbursement is necessary in the
absence of a specific reimbursement agreement. Future signal
construction will be covered through preparation of reimbursement
agreements simil ar to those used for offsite sewer construction.
The Traffic Signal Participation Policy makes general provision
for such reimbursements but does not create the process
whereunder such reimbursements are to be carried out. I will in
the near future present the necessary Code revisions, etc. for
Council approval ~Ihich will formalize that process.
The appropriate fee for the El Rancho del Rey Un it No. 5 i s
com put e d as follows:
ERDR Unit 5 342 residential lot s
Res u bd i vis ion of Lot 340 43 " "
TOTAL LOTS 385
385 lots x 12 trips/lot/day x $7/trip = $32,340.00
FISCAL IMPACT: Will reduce unappropriated balance of Traffic
Signal Fund by $13,796.03.
