[ 12 ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: March 12, 1974 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving the Designation of City-County Thoroughfare Advisory Committee to Determine Distribution of Federal Aid Urban Funds INITIATED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~ BACKGROUND The County of San Diego, in a letter dated February 20 to the City Manager, requested City Council to agree to utilize the City-County Thoroughfare Advisory Committee for the purpose of preparing recom- mendations for the distribution of Federal Aid Urban Funds. Based on the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973, the State Urban Advisory Committee determined to apportion FAU funds to counties with urbanized areas. Counties are to determine project priorities and programs regardless of jurisdiction unless a majority of cities representing 50% of the urban- ized population or cities of greater than 200,000 population determine otherwise. The committee further resolved that each county would submit procedures for handling the cooperative process for determining project priorities to the State. The urbanized area is to produce a 3-year program identifying FAU funds to be spent on local projects, transit projects and regional highway projects. The process is to involve cities, County and State and the program is to be approved by the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (CPO) with respect to regional facilities. Our City has previously designated the Director of Public Works as its member to the City-County Thoroughfare Advisory Committee and this committee has produced a means of designating priority ratings on sub- mitted projects for County Thoroughfare Funds. with slight modifications I the same process can be used for Federal Aid Urban fund projects. Therefore, it is appropriate that this same committee recommend dis- tribution of the FAU funds allocated to the San Diego County region.
