Financial Impact: No funding is required for this action. However, if the grant application is approved by OCTA, the City will be responsible for providing a minimum 25% in local matching funds in order to be reimbursed up to a maximum 75% of eligible construction costs. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-81, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Submittal of One Improvement Project to the Orange County Transportation Authority for Funding Under the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program." Alternative Action(s): Deny approval of the resolution and forego eligibility to receive construction grant funds for the Atlanta Avenue Widening Project through the CTFP. Analysis: On August 11, 2014, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) announced a call for projects to receive grant funding under the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP). The CTFP provides funding for roadway improvements to meet existing needs and address future demands. These projects are regional and competitive across Orange County. As a condition of eligibility, the City is required to adopt a resolution approving the submittal of applications for CTFP funding. In general, the resolution declares the City's desire to implement the submitted project, as well as an affirmation to follow CTFP procedures, should funding be approved and allocated. Under the current call for projects, staff is recommending submittal of a CTFP application for construction grant funding for the Atlanta Avenue Widening Project. This project, which will widen the south side of Atlanta Avenue, between Huntington Street and Delaware Street, in compliance with the City's General Plan Circulation Element as well as the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways is currently in the right-of-way phase.
