As a long-time Huntington Beach manufacturer, we would like to communicate to you our strong support for this well conceived and very much needed road improvement project . Our company, Pedigo Products , has been manufacturing hospital equipment at the SWC of Gothard and Edinger since 1961 . As the City grew around us , the accessability of our plant to employees , suppliers, and common carriers , has been diminished due to in- creased traffic flows and frequent congestion on Beach Blvd. and Golden West . We feel the completion of Gothard as an alternative east/west thoroughfare , will improve access to our facility and increase the efficiency of our operation . We hope you will authorize the continued funding of this pro- ject, and expedite its construction . Thank you for- your continued hard work and service to our community . i Sincerely , V_. WI Rick R.

A Yes [ ] New Policy or Exceptio Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: At the Council meeting of September 16th, staff was asked to report on the status of the Hoover/Gothard Extention Project. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File. ANALYSIS: This is in response to Councilman Silva's question at the September 16th Council meeting. I The State Public Utilities Commission application, 60% complete construction drawings and the Environmental Impact Report (second screen check draft) have all been submitted by IWA Engineers, our design consultant, for City review. Estimated return date to IWA is the week of September 23rd. IWA plans to incorporate our proposed changes and submit the documents to the City of Westminster for their comments. After their review, formal submittal to the PUC is expected at the end of October. The PUC application is necessary due to the proposed crossing of the Southern Pacific rail line by the new connector. Since the crossing must be at an acute angle, the Commission staff will be opposing Commission approval. If the Commission denies the application, it appears that our only remaining option would be to negotiate with S.P. to buy the railroad right-of-way. ' During public comments at the September 16th Council meeting, a resident of Cascade Lane said that the City of Westminster is opposed to the Gothard/Hoover Project. Thus fad,hov�ver, the Westminster City Council is on record supporting the project. IWA will make a brief presentation to the Council and be available for questions.

[A Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: At the March 5, 1990 Council meeting, IWA Engineers was awarded a contract for $330,435.00 to prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates for the Gothard-Hoover Extension. Approximately 60% of this phase of the project is complete and authorization is being requested to file a joint application with Westminster to the Public Utilities Commission regarding the railroad crossings. Also, Council authorization is requested to jointly apply with Westminster for funding from Measure M and other outside sources. The estimated cost for the project is between $6 million and $8 million. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Authorize staff to proceed and file a joint application with the City of Westminster to the California Public Utilities Commission regarding the rail crossings aspect of the Gothard-Hoover Extension. 2. Authorize staff to apply jointly with Westminster to obtain needed funds from Proposition M and other outside sources. 3. Authorize Mayor to write a letter to the Westminster Mayor and Council requesting that Westminster Council take action to file with the Public Utilities Commission and to apply jointly for Measure M funds and other outside sources as appropriate. ANALYSIS: The Gothard-Hoover Extension will improve traffic circulation for the Huntington Beach/Westminster area by relieving traffic flow on Beach Boulevard and Goldenwest Street. Attached is a list of traffic circulation benefits and two project location diagrams. PIO/1/85 RAA RH 91-07 March 4, 1991 Page two The City of Huntington Beach and the City of Westminster have been actively working together since 1986 and in 1989 the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved this street project as part of the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Our current engineering service contract is progressing in a timely manner. Our next step is to apply to the State of California Public Utilities Commission for approval relative to the railroad crossings. It is recommended that the Public Utilities Commission filing be a joint application with Westminster. The Gothard-Hoover Extension between McFadden Avenue and Bolsa Avenue is in the City of Westminster and a portion of the project is in Huntington Beach and is located south of McFadden for a distance of 600 feet. Funding for the project to date has been provided by the City of Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency and we have funded $1 million for right-of-way and an estimated $360,000 in engineering professional service fees. There are significant outside sources of funds available that could be used in the Gothard-Hoover Extension, and one of those sources is Measure M. A key element for the construction of the Gothard-Hoover project is a funding plan. Westminster has agreed to joint application for outside sources of funding. It is recommended that Council authorize staff to begin planning for joint application of funds with Westminster and that we apply for reimbursement of funds already expended wherever possible. FUNDING SOURCE: Existing appropriation from the Huntington Center Tax Allocation Bonds budgeted on Account No. E-TH-PC-914-6-39-00. No funds required for this action. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Deny approval. This action would stop work now being done on the plans and specifications for the Gothard-Hoover Extension. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the selection of IWA Engineers for the design of the Gothard/Hoover project. 2. Establish a design budget of $330,000.00 (this will include the consultant agreement of $308,435.00 and $21,565.00 for incidentals) 3. Authorize the Redevelopment Chairman and Agency Clerk to execute the attached Consultant Agreement with IWA Engineers for a fee not to exceed $330,000.00 ANALYSIS: The Gothard/Hoover Street connection is a stated goal for the Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment area as one of the regional traffic circulation improvements. The project will construct a roadway paralleling the Southern Pacific Railroad between McFadden Avenue and Bolsa Avenue. This will allow a direct connection from our commercial area to the Garden Grove Freeway, 2.5 miles to the north. This project will be constructed with the cooperation of the City of Westminster as the project is within that city; however, benefitting ours. Caltrans, Southern Pacific Railroad, Public Utilities Commission, Orange County Sanitation District and the Southern California Edison Company are other parties with interests in the project. A feasibility study was completed and a portion of the.right of way as acquired in 1987. The roadway was added to the Arterial Highway Master Plan in 1990. Proposals to accomplish the Environmental Processing, the permit processing, design and construction documents were requested from five firms. Four proposals were received and each firm was interviewed by a committee of staff representing Redevelopment, Public Works, Community Development and the City of Westminster. IWA Engineers was selected by the committee as the firm to be recommended to the agency. _ r \ P10/1/85 Request for City Council Action Gothard - Hoover Street Extension March 5, 1990 Page 2 The proposing firms and their fees are: IWA Engineers $308,435.00 NBS/Lowry Engineers and Planners 326,000.00 Willdan Associates 345,600.00 Centennial Civil Engineers 416,000.00 Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade & Douglas, Inc.

W Yes [ ] New Policy or Exce tion (� Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative hctions, Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The City Council has a committee that meets with the Westminster Council on the Gothard-Hoover Extension. The committee members were Councilman Green, Councilman Kelly and Councilwoman Winchell. A replacement is needed for Councilman Kelly. Also it is timely that this project move ahead. A meeting with Westminster is needed to discuss a timetable for implementing this traffic circulation improvement project. RECOMMENDATION: Appoint a Council Member to the Gothard-Hoover Extension Council Committee and authorize a letter to be sent by the Mayor to request a meeting with the Westminster City Council in February 1989. ANALYSIS: The proposed Gothard-Hoover Extension provides improved traffic circulation in both the City of Westminster and for the City of Huntington Beach. Since the portion of the Gothard-Hoover Extension between McFadden Avenue and Bolsa Avenue is located in the City of Westminster this project is ideally suited for a joint effort. Informally, Westminster Council Members and staff have expressed positive support for the Gothard-Hoover Extension. To date, the following.key actions have been completed toward implementation of the Gothard-Hoover Extension: 1. Engineering feasibility has been completed. 2. Traffic Impact Report has been completed. 3. Discussions have been held with the City of Westminster. 4. A precise alignment between McFadden Avenue and Center Avenue has been approved by Huntington Beach City Council. 5. Meetings with numerous property owners in the Huntington Center Redevelopment Project have resulted in support for the project. PI O 5/85 RH 89-03 January 3, 1989 Page Two 6. Contacts have been made with OCTD, SCE, Cal Trans, O. C. Transportation Commission, Golden West College, O. C. Department of Environmental Management, Westminster School District, Vons Pavilion Shopping Center in Westminster and Southern Pacific Transportation Company. 7. Right-of-way located between Center Avenue on the south and the I-405 Freeway on the north has been purchased by the City of Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency. Actions needed to continue to move the Gothard-Hoover project to completion are as follows: 1. Huntington Beach and Westminster Council Committees meet in early 1989. 2. Joint resolution of Westminster and Huntington Beach approving the concept of the Gothard-Hoover Extension. 3. Joint application to Orange County for addition of the Gothard-Hoover Extension to the O. C. Master Plan of Arterial Highways. 4. Westminster takes action to add the Gothard-Hoover Extension to their Specific Street Plan. 5. Huntington Beach and Westminster formulate a Specific Action Plan to complete the Gothard-Hoover Extension. Attached are (a) a diagram showing the location of the Gothard-Hoover Extension, and (b) a list of benefits to traffic circulation provided by the Gothard-Hoover Extension to the Huntington Beach/Westminster area. FUNDING SOURCE: The funding source for the Gothard-Hoover Extension will be from the Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment Project, possible transportation grants and other sources that may evolve from discussions with Westminster. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: An alternative action would be not to proceed with the Gothard-Hoover Extension. This alternative would eliminate an opportunity to improve traffic circulation in the area of Goldenwest, Beach Boulevard, and I-405 Freeway. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Yes [- ] New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Redevelopment Agency authorized staff to make an offer to purchase property currently owned by the Southern Pacific Transportation Company located east of Gothard Street, between Center Drive and the I-405 Freeway in the City of Huntington Beach (between Center Drive and McFadden Avenue) and in the City of Westminster (between McFadden Avenue and the I-405 Freeway). The offer price was $1,545,000 as per the February 16, 1987, William Helpes and Associates appraisal. The terms of payment were $900,000 to be paid on November 20, 1987 and the remainder to be paid by December 20, 1987, with no interest payment required. The Southern Pacific Transportation Company has requested via telephone conversation that a single payment with an escrow to open on December 4, 1987 would be preferable. Staff concurs with this request. Agency's authorization to proceed with the land purchase and appropriation of needed funds is requested. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency authorize its Chief Executive Officer to purchase the land from the Southern Pacific Transportation as detailed in the background information and amend the existing Operating Agreement by appropriating $1,060,000 from the City of Huntington Beach to the Redevelopment Agency- Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment Project. V , R H 87-79 November 23, 1987 Page Two ANALYSIS: The Gothard-Hoover Extension will improve traffic circulation by providing an alternative north-south route to Beach Boulevard and Goldenwest Street which is also projected to enhance the economic position of the City's major shopping center, Huntington Center. The City of Westminster has been completely informed about this land purchase and no objections were raised. Staff has determined that the proposed acquisition has potential income producing capabilities which will be further explored upon close of escrow. FUNDING SOURCE: The funding source for this proposed land purchase will be from Redevelopment Agency funding advanced from City of Huntington Beach that will be reimbursed to the City from tax increment. Current increment from the Huntington Center and Commercial District Project is over $500,000 per year. Past appropriations total $500,000 and,with the requested additional $1,060,000, total appropriated for this land purchase will be $1,560,000. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: An alternative action would be not to proceed with the needed Gothard-Hoover Extension. This alternative eliminates an opportunity to improve traffic circulation in the area of Goldenwest, Beach Boulevard, and the I-405 Freeway. ATTACHMENTS: I. Map - Gothard-Hoover Extension. 2.

( ] Yes [ ] New Policy or ExceptionIf A � Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actio dttachm icy STATEMENT OF ISSUE: As part of ongoing steps to implement the proposed Gothard-Hoover Extension at the June 15, 1987, meeting Council authorized staff to: (a) Discuss with Southern Pacific Transportation Company purchase of land needed for the Gothard-Hoover Extension. Status: Discussions are in process. (b) Discuss with Pacific Coast Corporation possible options regarding leasing or purchasing land from City/Redevelopment Agency not needed for the Gothard-Hoover Extension. Status: Discussions are in process. (c) Make contact with the City of Westminster to formulate an action plan to (1) amend their specific street plan, (2) prepare a joint application to County of Orange to amend the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, and (3) to formulate a joint plan for implementation of the Gothard-Hoover Extension. Status: The purpose of this memo is to recommend an action plan to meet with Westminster. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council/Redevelopment Agency t.b appoint a Council Committee to meet with a City of Westminster Council Committee to discuss the Gothard-Hoover Extension and other mutual traffic circulation issues. Also staff recommends that the Council authorize a letter to be sent by the Mayor requesting a meeting with representatives of the Westminster City Council prior to the September 21, 1987 Huntington Beach City Council Meeting. ANALYSIS: Since that portion of the Gothard-Hoover Extension between McFadden Avenue at Bolsa Avenue is located in the City of Westminster it is essential that we have the full cooperation and support of the City of.Westminster. Since the project does improve a PIO 4/84 • i RH 87-69 August 28, 1987 Page Two traffic circulation in both communities, it is ideally suited for a joint effort. For additional background and analysis, please see attached staff report dated June 5, 1987 which Council reviewed and approved at the June 15, 1987 Council Meeting. FUNDING SOURCE: The funding source for the Gothard-Hoover Extension will be from the Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment Project and from possible transportation grants. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: An alternative action would be not to proceed with the needed Gothard-Hoover street connection. This alternative eliminates an opportunity to improve traffic circulation in the area of Goldenwest, Beach Boulevard, and the I-405 Freeway. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Gillespie Westminster Civic Center 8200 Westminster Avenue Westminster, California 92683 Dear Mayor Gillespie: As you know, the_General Plan - Circulation Element of the City of Westminster provides for Hoover Street to be extended south to McFadden and would connect with Gothard Street in the City of Huntington Beach. This is consistent with the plans in Huntington Beach and will provide.a much needed alternate to Beach Boulevard. With your concurrence an engineering feasibility and traffic report was financed and completed by the City of Huntington Beach. The engineering feasibility report concluded that a four lane road (2 lanes south and 2 lanes north) could be constructed under_ the I-405 Freeway. The traffic report concluded that the Gothard-Hoover extension would provide an alternate north-south route to Beach Boulevard as well as Goldenwest Street and serves to alleviate the critical traffic problem which now plaques Beach Boulevard. We are currently discussing right-of-way acquisition with the Southern Pacific Transportation Company. The land currently under. consideration __lies _between Center Drive and McFadden Avenue in the City of Huntington Beach and between McFadden and I-405 in the City of Westminster. Additional right-of-way will be needed between I-405 and Bolsa Avenue in the City of Westminster. A Council_ Committee from the City of Huntington Beach would like to meet with a Council Committee from the City of Westminster to discuss mutual traffic issues and the Gothard-Hoover Extension. The City of Huntington Beach will not be requesting funds from the City of Westminster for this right-of-way purchase. We would like your support -1- for the project and cooperation in having this road added to the Orange County Master Plans of Arterial Highways and to the Westminster Specific Street Plan. We would also like to discuss various options available for communicating the facts regarding the Gothard-Hoover Extension to all surrounding property owners in both our communities. We would like to meet at the Huntington Beach City Hall on in our fourth floor conference room. We look forward to our meeting.
