BACKGROUND:

On April 26, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2016/335 that approved and authorized the Public Works Director to execute Master Cooperative Agreement No. 04-5928F15 with Caltrans. The agreement outlines the responsibility of the County and Caltrans in the use and distribution of federal funds awarded to the County for transportation projects. Each year, Caltrans requires the County to execute Program Supplemental Agreements, Fund Exchange Agreements, Fund Transfer Agreements connected with the Master Cooperative Agreement in order to receive federal funds allocated for County transportation projects during that year. Resolution No. 2016/335 authorized the Public Works Director to execute those instruments. Resolution 2022/7 will provide the same authority, except that it also will authorize a designee of the Public Works Director to execute those instruments on behalf of the County. The Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve this item to ensure more efficient processing of these instruments each year, which ensures the County will receive federal funds in a timely manner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Director will be the only person authorized to execute instruments related to the Master Agreement with Caltrans.
