RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE EARMARK REPURPOSING
SHEETS FOR SUBMITTAL TO SANDAG TO REPURPOSE FEDERAL EARMARKED
SAFETEA-LU FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $611,931 FROM THE 1-805 SOUND
WALLS PROJECT TO LOCAL ROADWAY REHABILITATION PROJECTS, AND
COMMITTING TO A 20% LOCAL MATCH IN THE AMOUNT OF $152,983 USING
LOCAL PROP A TRANSNET FUNDS, AS REQUIRED FOR REPURPOSING
WHEREAS, on February 20, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
2007-23 approving an Amendment to SANDAG's Regional Transportation Improvement
Program ("RTIP") to include $680,000 in Federal SAFETEA-LU funds for the installation of
sound walls along the east side of 1-805 between Plaza Boulevard and East 4' Street; and
WHEREAS, due to federal limits on obligation authority, the amount available
was reduced to $611,931; and
WHEREAS, the federal funding earmarked by the United States Congress was
incorrectly programmed for construction of sound walls at the I-805/SR-54 interchange rather
than for the east side of 1-805, north of Plaza Boulevard, as originally proposed by National City;
and
WHEREAS, a statutory amendment to change the legislative description of the
project and reprogram funding for the correct location is required by the Federal Highway
Administration ("FHWA"), which has not made it onto a U.S. Congress agenda for consideration;
and
WHEREAS, in June 2011, Caltrans approved the Final Environmental Impact
Report (EIR)/Environmental Assessment with Finding of No Significant Impact for the 1-805
Managed Lanes South Project; and
WHEREAS, based on noise studies conducted as part of the EIR, sound walls
were recommended for construction along the east side of 1-805 between Plaza Boulevard and
Division Street; and
WHEREAS, on March 8, 2016, FHWA issued guidance on the implementation of
earmark repurposing provisions contained in the 2016 Consolidated Appropriation Act, which
states that repurposed funds may be obligated on a new or existing project in the State within
50 miles of the earmark designation; and
WHEREAS, the National City sound wall project may qualify for repurposing, but
the decision to allow for repurposing will ultimately lie with FHWA, based on recommendations
from SANDAG and Caltrans; and
WHEREAS, because there has been no action to change the legislative
description for the 1-805 sound walls project, and because Caltrans may construct the sound
walls as part of a later phase of the 1-805 Managed Lanes South Project (funding dependent),
the Engineering Department is recommending repurposing these funds for local roadway
rehabilitation projects in National City; and
WHEREAS, the deadline to submit repurpose requests to FHWA is September
12, 2016; and
Resolution No. 2016 — 114
