BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER FROM: DANIEL BOBADILLA, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER DATE: OCTOBER 19, 2015 SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT TO COST SHARING AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE CITY OF GLENDORA FOR THE EXTENSION OF CITRUS AVENUE AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS SUMMARY: In 2006, the City of Azusa entered into an Agreement with the City of Glendora to address the maintenance responsibilities associated with extension improvements to Citrus Avenue. In 2011, an amendment was approved to further clarify that the City of Azusa would be responsible for all maintenance responsibilities. This action approves another amendment delineating the project limits and plan check, approval, and inspection responsibilities for both cities. In addition, this action approves a Memorandum of Understanding to transfer $200,000 in Rule 20A Funds to the City of Glendora for their cooperation in facilitating the extension improvements to Citrus Avenue. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Approve the Supplemental Amended Cost Sharing and Maintenance Agreement between the City of Azusa and the City of Glendora for the extension of Citrus Avenue and related improvements; and 2) Approve a Memorandum of Understanding MOU between the City of Azusa and the City of Glendora for the transfer of Rule 20A Funds; and 3) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Supplemental Amended Cost Sharing and Maintenance Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding. DISCUSSION: On February 3, 2003, the City Council approved the Monrovia Nursery Project, known as the Rosedale Development. As part of the Rosedale Development, the developer was required to extend Citrus Amendment to Cost Sharing/Maintenance Agreement and MOU with Glendora October 19, 2015 Page 2 Avenue from Foothill Boulevard north into the development. The majority of the Citrus Avenue extension will be within the City of Glendora, but will primarily serve the City of Azusa residents. As a result, on May 15, 2006, the cities of Azusa and Glendora entered into a Cost Sharing and Maintenance Agreement to address the maintenance and care of the Citrus Avenue extension. The agreement requires the City of Glendora to maintain the roadway and also requires the City of Azusa to pay for 100% of the maintenance costs. On November 7, 2011, the agreement was amended to further clarify maintenance responsibilities. Since the Citrus Avenue extension would not provide direct access to the City of Glendora, both parties agreed that the City of Azusa should take full responsibility for maintenance and liability for the Citrus Avenue extension and related improvements. The cities of Azusa and Glendora have agreed on the layout and design of the proposed Citrus Avenue extension improvements. This latest amendment to the Agreement delineates the improvement and indemnification areas based on the latest design. In addition, this amendment defines the responsibilities of both cities in terms of plan check, approvals, and inspections. Both cities will have a role with review, approval, and inspections, but the City of Azusa will take the lead and act as the project manager. For Glendora's cooperation with the latest design, the City of Azusa has offered the City of Glendora $200,000 in Southern California Edison Rule 20A funds to help them with a utility undergrounding project. These funds, which are set aside by Southern California Edison for the sole purpose of undergrounding transmission lines within the City, have been accumulating for several years and there is no plan to utilize them since the City has its own municipal electric utility. Unused Rule 20A funds and can be transferred to another public agency to improve the electrical system within their community. FISCAL IMPACT: The City has approximately $270,884 in Rule 20A funds that can be used for utility undergrounding projects. As part of approving and executing the Supplemental Amended Cost Sharing and Maintenance Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding, the City of Azusa will transfer $200,000 of its Rule 20A Funds to the City of Glendora.
