Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached funding agreement
with Orange County Transportation Authority for the M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding
Programs.
DISCUSSION
On November 7, 2006, voters approved the Renewed Measure M half-cent sales tax (M2),
extending the program over a 30-year period commencing on April 1, 2011. In addition to the
original three program components, this generation of the Measure M Transportation Plan
expands the program to include Environmental Cleanup and Taxpayer Safeguards and Audits.
To receive revenues from the one-half-cent sales tax (M2), cities and the County of Orange must
enter into an agreement to coordinate land use and transportation decisions, establish cooperative
transportation planning programs with neighboring jurisdictions, develop Growth Management
programs, and guarantee that transportation funds are used for transportation purposes only.
The programs are designed to reduce traffic congestion, strengthen our economy and improve our
quality of life by maintaining streets and roads, synchronizing traffic signals, and protecting our
environment from the oily street runoff that pollutes the Orange County beaches.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
