title
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-28 concerning the status and update of the City’s Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) for the Measure M (M2) Program; Adopt Resolution No. 2020-36 concerning the status and update of the Pavement Management Plan (PMP) for the Measure M2 Program; and Adopt a 7-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Fiscal Years 2020/21 through 2026/27 for compliance with renewed Measure M eligibility requirements
body
Statement of Issue:
In order to remain eligible for Measure M funding, the City is required to adopt a resolution informing the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) that the City’s Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) update has been approved by the City; adopt a resolution informing OCTA that the City’s updated Pavement Management Plan (PMP) has been approved by the City; and submit to OCTA an adopted 7-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in compliance with renewed Measure M (M2) eligibility requirements.
Financial Impact:
No additional funding is required for this action. The annual Measure M2 local fair share allocation in Fiscal Year 2020/21 is approximately $3 million for the City.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-28, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Concerning the Update of the Local Signal Synchronization Plan for the Measure M (M2) Program”; and,
B) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-36, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Concerning the Status and Update of the Pavement Management Plan for the Measure M2 Program”; and,
C) Adopt the 7-Year Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Years 2020/21 through 2026/27) included as Attachment #3 for compliance with renewed Measure M eligibility requirements.
end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt Resolutions No. 2020-28 and 2020-36 and/or the 7-Year Capital Improvement Program, and provide staff with alternate direction. This action would result in the loss of approximately $3 million for the next fiscal year, and the loss of potential grant funds for traffic and street improvement projects.
Analysis:
On November 6, 1990, the Orange County voters approved the original Measure M, the revised Traffic Impact and Growth Management Ordinance, for twenty years (1991-2011). On November 7, 2006, the Orange County voters approved renewed Measure M (M2). Renewed Measure M is a thirty year (2011-2041), multi-billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M.
Renewed Measure M net revenues are generated from the transactions and use tax, plus any interest or other earnings after allowable deductions. Net revenues may be allocated to jurisdictions for a variety of programs identified in Ordinance Number 3 (see Attachment #3). Compliance with eligibility requirements established in Ordinance Number 3 must be established and maintained in order for local jurisdictions to receive Measure M revenues.
The City is required to update the LSSP every three years to maintain compliance with the requirements of Measure M. The Pavement Management Plan must be updated every two years and the 7-Year CIP must be adopted annually. These items are described in greater detail below.
Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP)
The LSSP describes the traffic signal synchronization occurring within the City. This includes a description of current operations, improvements that have been implemented since the previous update in 2017, and the plans for improvements over the next three years. Interjurisdictional planning of traffic signal synchronization and communications is also a component of the LSSP. The attached resolution confirms that the City’s LSSP is consistent with the requirements of the OCTA Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan as they apply to local agencies. The updated LSSP is provided as Attachment #4.
Pavement Management Plan (PMP)
The PMP manages the preservation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of paved roads by analyzing pavement life cycles, assessing overall system performance costs, and determining alternative strategies and costs necessary to improve paved roads. The attached resolution confirms that the City’s PMP is in conformance with the Countywide PMP guidelines, and an updated report is being submitted to OCTA using the required format. The updated PMP is provided as Attachment #5.
7-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
For Measure M compliance, the City must adopt a 7-Year CIP for Fiscal Years 2020/21 through 2026/27. The 7-Year CIP, which is included as Attachment #3, identifies all projects currently and potentially funded by OCTA Measure M2 funds.
