Adopt a resolution supporting federal funding of two projects in the City
and authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to
submit projects for funding consideration under the Highway Safety
Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION
The State of California Department of Transportation issued a call for
projects for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for Federal
Fiscal Year (FFY) 2007/2008 and FFY 2008/2009. HSIP is a federally funded
program which provides construction funds for projects to improve traffic
and pedestrian safety, such as traffic signals and signage upgrades.
Staff is requesting authorization to submit two projects for HSIP funding
for the City's FY 2008/2009 (Exhibit 1). These two intersections are in
the City's Fiscal Year 2006/2007 signal priority list. Given the need for
these improvements, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution
supporting federal funding of these projects and authorizing the
Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to submit the designated
projects for funding consideration under the Highway Safety Improvement
Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental reviews will be conducted for those projects that receive
funding and will be presented to the City Council when the construction
contract(s) is awarded. These types of projects typically qualify for
Categorical Exemptions.

Improvement Program.
