| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
In August 2016, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued a call for projects for Measure M2’s Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP). CTFP is the mechanism by which OCTA administers competitive funding for streets and road projects, including the Intersection Capacity Enhancement Program, which funds capital improvements, such as the addition of through and/or turning lanes at qualifying intersections.
City Council approved a Negative Declaration for the project on November 22, 2016, as recorded in Resolution No. 9395-16. A Notice of Determination was subsequently approved and recorded by the Orange County Recorder’s Office on November 29, 2016.
OCTA granted the City right-of-way (ROW) acquisition funding under Agreement No. C-1-2764 with the effective starting date of July 1, 2017, in the amount of $784,326. The 25% local share (matching funds) will be drawn from the City’s gas tax funds. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Staff acquired the services of CPSI, a real property agent, who assisted the City in negotiating with the property owners. They were able to negotiate the following amounts in consultation with staff:

There is no impact to the General Fund. The CTFP program provides 75% of the funding, or $402,750 for this project, and requires a 25% local match. City’s gas tax will be used to provide matching funds in the amount of $134,250. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION

- Approve the acquisition of portions of property located at 10965-10971 Westminster Avenue currently owned by FJ Hanshaw Enterprises, Inc., in the amount of $157,000; and 10872-10900 Westminster Avenue currently owned by HMZ Retail, LP, in the amount of $372,000; and
