On November 4, 2004, the voters of San Diego County approved the San Diego Transportation
Improvement Program Ordinance and Expenditure Plan (TransNet Extension Ordinance). The
TransNet Extension Ordinance provides that SANDAG, acting as the Regional Transportation
Commission, shall approve on a biennial basis a multi -year program of projects submitted by
local jurisdictions identifying those transportation projects eligible to use transportation sales tax
(TransNet) funds.
Local agencies receiving TransNet funds are required to update their portion of the TransNet
Local Street Improvement Program of Projects every two years. Based on the estimate of
annual TransNet local street improvement revenues for fiscal years 2015 through 2019 provided
by SANDAG, staff proposes the following five-year program:

It shall be noted that while funding is not being requested for the 4th Street Community Corridor
Project (NC14), since it is an "active" project that is scheduled to be completed in FY 2015, we
are required to list the project as part of the five-year program.
On May 20, 2014, in accordance with Section 5(A) of the TransNet Extension Ordinance and
Rule 7 of SANDAG Board Policy No. 31, the City Council of the City of National City held a
noticed public hearing that clearly identified the proposed list of projects as summarized above.
There was no public comment at the hearing. As such, City Council closed the hearing and
directed staff to return with a formal Resolution for Council's review.
It shall be noted that the Resolution contains provisions required by SANDAG, which have been
reviewed and accepted by staff. While one such provision is a "hold harmless" provision, staff
had determined that risk to the City is minimal since SANDAG's involvement in National City's
TransNet-funded projects is limited to accounting processes and financial audits.
