RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2014 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR NATIONAL CITY TO ALLOCATE $8,000 OF LOCAL
TRANSNET (PROP A) FUNDING FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALL/UPGRADES
PROJECT TO SATISFY NATIONAL CITY'S "FAIR SHARE" CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS
THE ANNUAL COST OF REGIONAL ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
OPERATIONS SUPPORT SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015
WHEREAS, on November 4, 2004, the voters of San Diego County
approved the San Diego Transportation Improvement Program Ordinance and
Expenditure Plan (04-01) extension, which provides that SANDAG, acting as the
Regional Transportation Commission, shall approve a multi -year program of projects
submitted by local jurisdictions identifying those transportation projects eligible to use
transportation sales tax (TransNet) funds; and
WHEREAS, on June 3, 2014, the City Council approved Resolution No.
2014-68 adopting the 2014 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for
National City projects for fiscal years 2015 through 2019; and
WHEREAS, in cooperation and conjunction with the local agencies,
SANDAG deployed the Regional Arterial Management System (RAMS) project at the
end of fiscal year 2012 that delivered 15 local agency RAMS servers, and one Regional
server with which all local agency systems communicate; and
WHEREAS, the RAMS system provides the region and the local agencies
the following benefits:
1. The ability to coordinate signal plan development both actively and
passively. By sharing timing plans across local jurisdictional bounders,
traffic engineers are able to complete proposed plans more quickly and
efficiently, and reach agreement on modification more readily through
access to better information.
2. A common time source across more than 3,000 traffic signals region -wide,
allowing for timing precision necessary to coordinate signals across
jurisdictional boundaries.
3. A common platform from which current and future efforts can build, such
as the Integrated Corridor Management System (ICM) which is currently in
operation in the Interstate 15 corridor; and
WHEREAS, prior to the project transitioning from implementation to
ongoing operations, SANDAG worked with the San Diego Regional Traffic Engineers'
Council (SANTEC) and the Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC)
on developing the best approach to support this newly established and common
platform for all the traffic engineers within San Diego County, which included ongoing
RAMS operations, methods for addressing software and hardware maintenance, and
funding and monitoring of inter -agency system communication.
Resolution No. 2016 — 48
`,' Page Two
WHEREAS, SANTEC and CTAC recommended that a Regional Fund
Pool be established to effectively and efficiently address the three operational elements:
software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and communication infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, RAMS operations support costs for Fiscal Year 2015 are
$236,000, with National City's "fair share" contribution (which is based on percentage of
local traffic signals compared to the total number of signals in the RAMS regional
network), totaling $8,000 (National City maintains 73 traffic signals); and
WHEREAS, staff requests City Council authorization to amend the 2014
RTIP for National City to allocate $8,000 of local TransNet (Prop A) funding for the
Traffic Signal Install/Upgrades Project to satisfy National City's "fair share" contribution
towards the annual cost of Regional Arterial Management System (RAMS) operations
support services for Fiscal Year 2015.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby authorizes amending the 2014 Regional Transportation
Improvement Program (RTIP) for National City to allocate $8,000 of local TransNet
(Prop A) funding for the Traffic Signal Install/Upgrades Project to satisfy National City's
"fair share" contribution towards the annual cost of Regional Arterial Management
System (RAMS) operations support services for Fiscal Year 2015.
