ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO X }
The engineering staff is currently in the process of acquiring property for
sidewalk purposes in the return segment for the southeast corner of Fourth
Avenue and "F" Street. "F" Street, between Fourth Avenue and Church Avenue
will be partia~.ly financed with~FAU fund. There is no relocation assistance
involved.
Federal law requires that acquisition be in conformance with Title III of the
Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policy
Act of 1970.
CALTRANS Local Assistance Officer recommends that the City adopt by resolution
the State of California Regulations titled "Regulations of Procedure, Code
Title 21, Chapter II, Subchapter II, Section 1407." These regulations govern
the guidelines and procedures for acquisition and relocation assistance re-
quired by the Federal Highway Administration.
On May 5, 1977 the Redevelopment Agency adopted, by Resolution Number 79,
guidelines for property acquisitions by the Department of Community Develop-
ment. The guidelines are general in nature and do not conflict with the
State Department of Transportation regulations.
Right of way certification is required by the regulations for all acquisitions
involving Federally funded projects. The certification is the Local agency's
assurance statement that it has acquired all of the right of way necessary for
the project and it was acquired in accordance with applicable Federal and
State regulations.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City is eligible to receive up to $139,000 in FAU funds. These funds will
finance a portion of the construction cost for the widening of "F" Street from
Fourth Avenue to Church Avenue. If City Council does not approve this reso-
lution adopting CALTRANS regulations and granting authority to sign right of
way certifications, the City could become ineligible to receive Federal High-
way funds. Without FAU funds, the City would have to put up an additional
$139,000 to finance the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. City Council adopt California Department of Transportation Regulations for
acquisition of property for street and highway purposes.
2. City Council authorize the Director of Public Works to sign right of way
certifications.
