DISCUSSION: On July 31, 2007, the Orange County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 07- 109, allowing for sharing of the County's Proposition 42 (Prop.42) funds with Orange County cities, and approved an allocation of $10 million for the City Aid Program (CAP) for Fiscal Year 08 -09. The CAP has been formulated to provide Orange County cities with additional funds for city roadway maintenance projects. Of this grant funding our City is to receive $282,612 in FY 08 -09 as our population based percentage of the County's CAP program. Further, the County's CAP grant funds are in addition to the Prop. 42 programmed funds the City is to receive in FY 08- 09, direct from the State. The attached Prop. 42 CAP agreement requires the City to commit to the following: Maintain its existing "Maintenance of Effort" for use of local funds for street and highway, maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and storm damage repair; Expend (pay to contractors) its Orange County CAP Grant allocations by June 30, 2010 on Prop. 42 eligible projects or return CAP allocation to County; and Provide County with FY 08 -09 CAP expenditure certification by August 31, 2010. The County will distribute CAP Grant allocations to the City upon the County receiving their Prop. 42 funding from the State and receipt of the approved attached CAP agreement for approval by the Board of Supervisors. Distribution of CAP allocations County of Orange City Aid Program Agreement for FY 08-09 _ January 8, 2008 Page 2 will be made to cities, on a first come first serve basis, with the submittal of proof of project award documentation and City invoices. It must also be noted that successful implementation of the CAP is dependent on the County receiving its programmed Prop. 42 funding from the State for FY 08 -09. Any delay or change to the State's Prop. 42 grant program may directly impact CAP implementation. CAP allocations shall be returned to the County if allocations are not expended (paid to contractors) by June 30, 2010. The County's tentative schedule to approve the CAP agreements is April 2008.

Badum Deputy Public Works Director /City Engineer ic ork s Director Attachment: City Aid Program Agreement Agreement No. D07 -153 PROPOSITION 42 CITY AID PROGRAM AGREEMENT This CITY AID PROGRAM AGREEMENT, Agreement No. D07 -153 ( "Agreement ") is made and entered into this day of 200_, by and between the County of Orange, California, a political subdivision of the State of California ( "County "), and the City of Newport Beach, a municipal corporation in the State of California ( "City"). The County and City shall sometimes be referred to separately as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties." RECITALS A. The California State Legislature has determined that the improvement and maintenance of all city streets is of general County interest. Likewise, the County believes that it is of general County interest to extend aid to the cities within the County for the general improvement and maintenance of City streets. B. The County desires to assist Orange County cities with the improvement and maintenance of city streets and to help improve regional transportation needs within the County. Pursuant to California Constitution Article XIX B § 1 and Revenue Taxation Code § 7104, the County receives State Proposition 42 (Prop. 42) allocations from the State's Transportation Investment Fund (TIF) and Traffic Congestion Relief Fund (TCRF) for the purposes of street and highway maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction and storm damage repair, which are required to be deposited in the County's Road Fund. C. Orange County cities have streets in need of routine roadway maintenance, minor roadway widening (non - capacity enhancing) and storm drain improvements, but have limited funds to address these needs. D. With authorization from the State, the County has established its Prop. 42 City Aid Program (CAP) whereby the County will provide a portion of the County's Prop. 42 funds to the cities for the purposes of routine roadway maintenance, minor roadway widening (non- capacity enhancing) and storm drain improvements within the cities. Such purposes are to be in accordance with any and all laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines governing Prop. 42 allocations ( "Prop. 42 Requirements'). E. The City owns and operates streets in need of routine roadway maintenance, minor roadway widening (non capacity enhancing) and storm drain improvements, and acknowledges that it has limited funds by which to address these needs. Therefore, the City is in support of receiving a portion of the County's Prop. 42 allocation funds through CAP. F. Pursuant to Streets & Highways Code section 1686, the Board of Supervisors has passed Resolution No. 07 -109, adopted by a four -fifths vote of its members, finding that the Purposes under this Agreement are of general County interest and that County aid shall be extended therefore. This resolution provides for the basis and conditions upon which allocations Page 1 of 7 Agreement No. D07 -153 will be made from the County Road Fund for expenditures upon City streets, bridges and culverts in cities within the County. G. The County's City Aid Program (CAP) provides the guidelines for CAP, and is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement. SECTION I IT IS MUTUALLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE PARTIES THAT: County shall: A. Distribute city aid allocation(s) per requirements of this agreement, the CAP, and Exhibit B. CAP allocations to cities shall be based on each city's population as of January 2007 information published by Demographic Research Unit of the California Department of Finance. B. Distribute city aid allocation(s) to cities, on a first come first serve basis, after receiving invoice along with proof of award documentation from the City for its project(s). Each City project will require invoice and proof of award documentation. The allocation will be based on City's invoice amount, which can include design, construction and construction administration costs. County will not begin disbursing allocations until County has received its first Prop. 42 allocation from the State for fiscal year 08/09. After County has received its first Prop. 42 allocation, County will disburse an allocation to the City upon receipt of award documents. County CAP allocations are entirely subject to Prop. 42 allocations to County from the State including any delays or changes in State law, rules, regulations, and guidelines. C. Coordinate with Cities on CAP projects. County's Director of Public Works or designee can authorize the substitution of CAP project(s) listed on Exhibit A to maximize full expenditure of the City's CAP allocation(s). The City must make this request in writing, and the proposed new project(s) shall be eligible for Prop. 42 funds and shall not exceed the Board approved City CAP allocation(s). D. Make every effort to expend any CAP funds returned to the County by the City if City returns funds in a timely manner. However, funds cannot be expended by the County; they shall be returned to the State. E. Review Annual CAP expenditure certification submitted by.City (City's submittal will be no later than August 31 of each year). This certification is a list of completed projects and a statement that each project meets Prop. 42 requirements and is in compliance with the purposes of CAP (See CAP for sample of certification). City is responsible for ensuring that all projects meet CAP and Prop. 42 eligibility requirements and have expended such funds in the appropriate fiscal year. F. Conduct a City expenditure assessment each year to verify if City is expending its CAP funds in the timeframe contemplated under this Agreement. Page 2 of 7 SECTION 11 City shall: Agreement No. D07 -153 A. Maintain its existing "Maintenance of Effort" (MOE) of local funds for street and highway, maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and storm damage repair. The City must annually expend from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual average of its expenditures from its general fund during the 1996 -97, 1997 -98, and 1998 -99 fiscal years, as reported to the controller pursuant to the Streets & Highways Code Section 2151, in order to participate in the County Proposition 42 City Aid Program. B. Provide County with invoice, along with proof of award documentation, for its project(s) in order to receive CAP funds. Each City project will require invoice and proof of award documentation. CAP allocation will be based on the contract award amount. County will not begin disbursing allocations until County has received its first Prop. 42 allocation from the State for fiscal year 08/09. After County has received its first Prop. 42 allocation, County will disburse a CAP allocation to the City upon receipt of invoice and award documents on a first come first serve basis. County's CAP allocations are subject to receiving Prop. 42 allocations from the State. C. After receiving CAP funds from the County, advise the County, no later than two (2) months before the end of the expenditure cycle of each year, of any CAP funds that the City determines will not be expended within the time requirements of CAP. Any such CAP funds the City will be unable to expend by the deadline shall be returned to the County a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of the respective expenditure cycle. The County will attempt to reallocate these funds to other County projects that will expend the funds within the time requirements. However if the County is unable to expend or reallocate these funds, they will be returned to the State. D. Expend CAP funds no later than June 30, 2010. Eligible expenditure for fiscal year 08/09 CAP allocation must occur between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010. Any funds not expended by this deadline shall be returned to the County in a timely manner, but no later than 60 days. E. Prepare and submit to County annually, no later than August 31, 2010, CAP expenditure certification for all project(s) completed that corresponding fiscal year. This certification is a list of projects and a statement that each project meets Prop. 42 requirements and is in compliance with the purposes of CAP (See CAP for sample of certification). F. In the event of an audit by the State, provide State all project and finance documentation as required within the timeframe specified by the State. City shall attend all audits involving its CAP projects as required by State. If the State finds that any City expenditure is ineligible or out of compliance with Prop. 42 requirements, that expenditure shall be reimbursed to the County, which will be returned to the State. The City shall reimburse the Page 3 of 7 Agreement No. D07 -153 County no later than 60 calendar days from State's formal determination, if State determines CAP expenditures are ineligible. SECTION III Miscellaneous Provisions: A. Availability of Funds County will recalculate the $ l OM total CAP allocation to the cities if the County's total Prop. 42 allocation falls 10% or more below the anticipated $19M yearly allocation. The adjustment down of the $1 OM City allocations will be in the same ratio as the County's allocation is adjusted down from the anticipated $19M. There will be no adjustment if the County's Prop. 42 allocation exceeds $19M. B. Project Documentation Cities shall promptly provide County and/or State, upon request, all project and finance documentation. C. Indemnification City shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved in writing, save and hold County and each of its elected officials, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any and all claims, injuries, liabilities, actions, damages, losses or expenses of every type and description to which they may be subjected arising out of any act or omission of, its employees, representatives, agents and independent contractors in connection with the implementation of the actions described in this agreement.
