2011/08/23ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 23, 2011 The City Council regular meeting of August 23, 2011 was called to order at 3:10 P.M. in the Chambers of Anaheim City Hall located at 200 South Anaheim Boulevard. A copy of the agenda was posted on August 19, 2011 on the kiosk outside City Hall. PRESENT: Mayor Tom Tait and Council Members: Gail Eastman, Lord Galloway, Kris Murray and Harry Sidhu. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Tom Wood, City Attorney Cristina Talley, and City Clerk Linda Andal REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION EFFORT WORKSHOP: Public Works Director Natalie Meeks introduced Jim Beal, Director of Capital Programs for Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) who would brief Council on the status of a number of regional transportation projects impacting the City. Anaheim's Transit Manager Jamie Lai would follow with a review of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) and Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC) projects and City Engineer Mark Vukojevic would provide a concise update on local transportation projects connecting to the regional improvements. Mr. Beal began his presentation with the OC Bridges program which included seven grade separation projects along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad to be implemented in partnership with the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia. These projects would ease the transportation burden by building overpasses and underpasses at various rail crossings at an estimated cost ranging from $65 million to $117 million and were in various stages of development with anticipated completion dates spanning 2014 to 2016. Raymond Avenue Grade Separation — Mr. Beal stated the city of Fullerton would take the lead on this project estimated at $77 million in total program costs. The OCTA Board of Directors had just approved a funding shift to make this project completely state funded, which meant CEQA clearance would suffice as the environmental documentation and would facilitate the design and right -of -way acquisition process and keep the project on schedule. CEQA had been approved, the design would be completed in 2012, and construction would take place in the 2013 to 2016 time frame. Mr. Beal added a bypass road would allow access through the area during construction. State College Boulevard Grade Separation - The city of Fullerton would also take the lead on this project, with environmental documents already approved and design to be completed in 2012. State College Boulevard, Mr. Beal remarked, would have road closure for the duration of construction. Placentia Avenue Grade Separation — Mr. Beal indicated this undercrossing was located at Placentia between Crowler and Santa Fe Streets and was currently in construction. The OCTA board awarded the construction contract and was ready to give notice to proceed as soon as the construction award of the adjacent crossing at Kraemer was received. This project, Mr. Beal explained, would have a bypass road to maintain access through the site during construction. Council Meeting Minutes of August 23, 2011 Page 2 of 12 Kraemer Boulevard Grade Separation - Construction bids were advertised and opened for the Kraemer Boulevard undercrossing project to be awarded in September 2011. Once that was approved, Mr. Beal remarked, the project would begin the initial work, which consisted of a long railroad detour to run between Kraemer and Placentia. Kraemer Boulevard would also be closed for the duration of construction. Orangethorpe Boulevard Grade Separation - The Orangethorpe Boulevard Overcrossing was in its final design stage and heavily into the right -of -way acquisition phase with construction planned for the spring of 2012. This site would have a bypass road open during construction; however, there would be lane reductions in that bypass road. Tustin Avenue /Rose Drive Grade Separation —This overcrossing was in the final design and right -of -way acquisition phase, with construction planned for late fall of 2012 and would have a bypass road open during construction. Lakeview Grade Separation - The seventh grade crossing project was also in final design with construction anticipated for the spring of 2013. Mr. Beal added that Lakeview would be closed during construction. Freeway Projects Underway in Anaheim Area: Mr. Beal reported there were five projects going through the Measure M2 program ranging from $46 million to $425 million in program costs and filled Council in on their various stages of development. SR -91 Widening Project would add a westbound through lane on the 91 between the 57 and 5 freeways and would also include continuous access HOV striping at the completion of construction. Design would be completed in 2012 and construction was anticipated for the winter of 2012. SR -91 (SR -55 to Tustin Avenue interchange) would correct a bad traffic weave on the westbound 91 between the 55 connector ramp and the Tustin Avenue off -ramp. Mayor Tait inquired if an additional lane would be added with Mr. Beal responding that no lane additions were included, however the project would reconfigure the off ramp to the outside of the 55 connector to eliminate the need for traffic crisscrossing between the 55 connector and the Tustin off -ramp. He added this was a unique design and operationally would make for a greater level of service increase for that interchange. He added this project was currently in design with construction anticipated for 2014. SR -91 (SR -57 to SR -55) was the segment of the 91 freeway from the Tustin interchange over to the 57 freeway. This project would add freeway capacity and provide major interchange improvements, possibly at Tustin, Kraemer and Glassell interchanges, and possibly at Lakeview Avenue. He noted that OCTA just began a project study looking at alternatives, scoping and costs. It was earmarked for $425 million under Measure M2, however, he pointed out, costs would be further defined once this study was completed. Mayor Tait remarked there was a bottleneck heading westbound on the 91 at the 55, particularly going from the 91 to the 55 south and also occurring onto the 91 and he felt another lane was needed to relieve the congestion. Mr. Beal replied that the interchange did need work, primarily at Lakeview and at Tustin Avenue as even the 55 to Tustin project would have a lane drop at the 91 freeway and this project would look at adding a lane in each direction. Mr. Beal added that some of the bottleneck was the result of traffic weave patterns and could be addressed by better signing for the various freeway routes. He further stated the study would look at all options and would propose solutions with the city of Anaheim. Council Meeting Minutes of August 23, 2011 Page 3 of 12 SR -91 (SR -55 / SR -241) — A new westbound and eastbound lane would be added to SR -91 between SR -55 and SR -241. The new lanes would increase capacity and relieve congestion on this stretch of the freeway that connected commuters with Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills and Riverside County. In addition to the new lane, four on /off ramps would be realigned and widened, including Lakeview Avenue, Imperial Highway and Weir Canyon. Mr. Beal explained this was a project just beginning construction and OCTA would be working to assist Caltrans and enhance their public outreach efforts and to also work with them on reviewing the contractor's proposed schedule and technical solutions to try and improve that schedule and the traffic management plan. He added OCTA would like to get a technical team together to help Caltrans review to see what could be done within the confines of their current cost plus time contract which was of short duration with construction to be completed in 2012. The 91/241 express lane connector was an effort OCTA was working together with Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) and Riverside County Transportation Commission. Riverside was extending express lanes from the county line up to the 15 freeway and OCTA was working in partnership with TCA to produce an initial study to determine how the connector would work and to generate revenue to fund the project. He added, TCA procured a consultant to produce the environmental clearance for this project and the schedule was fairly loose until the early studies were completed. Mr. Beal explained that all projects for the Orange Freeway (SR -57) were in construction and should be completed by 2014. The first segment, Orangethorpe Avenue to Lambert Road would add a northbound lane along a five mile section of the freeway between Orangethorpe Avenue in Placentia to Lambert Road in Brea. The Katella Avenue to Lincoln Avenue segment included a northbound lane addition with bids scheduled for opening by Caltrans on September 1 st. Mr. Beal added there were no major closures although there were would be overnight closures of ramps and streets for bridge widenings. The third contract for North Orangethorpe to Yorba Linda Boulevard also contained a northbound lane addition and was currently under construction and on schedule. In addition to these three projects, was the conversion of carpool lanes to continuous access for the entire stretch of the SR — 57. Public Outreach Efforts Mr. Beal emphasized OCTA had an extensive community outreach and communications program. All projects were available with up -to -date information on schedules, costs and upcoming work. Newsletters and other print coverage and papers were available as well as community meetings, broadcasts and a growing social media effort to reach out to the public. Council Member Galloway, commenting on the improvements from SR -55 to SR -241, expressed concern that the planned closure of Lakeview, Imperial Highway and Weir Canyon off -ramps for an indefinite period ranging from one to six weeks would severely impact residents of Anaheim Hills. Mr. Beal responded that the Caltrans contract which included a time bidding component also had a maximum time of street closure allowed within the contract. He added OCTA had yet to review the contractor's specific proposal on staging the closing of the off- ramps but would be working with Caltrans to evaluate the details of each one of the ramp's closures to find technical options for staging and traffic management. Regardless of the contractor's schedule, he added, OCTA and Caltrans would look for alternate proposals to mitigate that impact. City Engineer Mark Vukojevic added City staff had a meeting with Caltrans scheduled on August 24 to specifically discuss that issue. Council Member Murray appreciated Caltrans willingness to work with the City and thanked OCTA for their joint efforts on the public outreach component of the projects, emphasizing that it Council Meeting Minutes of August 23, 2011 Page 4 of 12 was critical to get information out to all. Director Natalie Meeks added staff was working closely with OCTA on coordination efforts pointing out that there were agreements with Yorba Linda, Placentia and Anaheim so that adjacent street closures would not overlap, even if construction periods did. Council Member Eastman indicated there was general consensuses of agreement as far as informing the public and recommended Anaheim's website also have available up -to- date information on a daily basis for all construction projects. Mr. Beal responded there were daily construction alerts available and interested persons could opt for an a -blast to receive various forms of information related to traffic. Mayor Tait stressed again that his concern was once these improvements were made to SR -91, there would still be congestion at the bottleneck of SR- 55/SR -91 westbound interchange and asked OCTA to take a good look at that capacity need. Jamie Lai, Transit Manager, discussed the ARTIC project, a landmark regional transportation gateway and mixed -use activity center on a site owned by OCTA in the city of Anaheim. The ARTIC station would accommodate passenger arrivals, departures and transfers with supporting retail, restaurants and passenger services within the facility. Some of the transportation facilities would be located adjacent to major national sporting venues to allow visitors and travelers a choice on how to easily get to where they need to go. The Angel's Express, she pointed out, was a successful example of bringing visitors to Angels Games from the north and the south on Metrolink, and ARTIC would help serve similar transportation needs for Orange County. The economic benefits, she added, were significant as ARTIC would stimulate the local economy with 5,000 direct and indirect new jobs. Parking would be available on the north lot, on the City's 2.2 acre parcel to the south and also on existing Stadium property. Bus drop -off loading /unloading facilities would be available around the station and a car drop off and passenger drop off would be located in front of the station. She indicated ARTIC was designed to bring together future development opportunities including public and private partnerships resulting in economic benefits and an increase in M2 sales tax revenues from commercial development associated with lifestyle entertainment and transient oriented retail, hotel lodging, parking for event goers, premium parking spaces and ground leases on the site. There was also the potential to connect ARTIC to the Honda Center with a bridge over Katella creating a seamless commercial destination. She added funding for this project was fully secured, $184 million coming from Measure M2 as well as monies from the State Transportation Improvement Program and other federal sources. She noted environmental clearance was given in 2010 and the project was currently in 30 percent design to be completed by the spring of 2012 with federal environmental clearance slated for the fall of 2011. Construction would begin soon after with an opening date of 2014. The Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC), she reported, was a state -of- the -art 2.5 mile fixed guideway system connecting residential, leisure, business and sports venues and a convention center and theme park to transit. ARC would assist in moving visitors even when facilities reach maximum capacity resulting in an additional 250,000 daily visitors. The renewed Measure M Go Local Program goal was to extend the reach of Metrolink system into major employment activity centers and the ARC project accomplished that by providing a transit connection between ARTIC, the Platinum Triangle and the Resort area. In addition, the Go Local funding would be sought from a number of diverse sources, including local and state funds and would create new opportunities for mixed use development and business investment in the area and encourage more pedestrian oriented development with livability Council Member Murray requested Ms. Lai address the economic growth and mobility of this voter - approved plan in which ARTIC was the centerpiece. Ms. Lai replied the City had been working with stakeholders and operators coming to ARTIC, such as Metrolink, Amtrak, ATN and Council Meeting Minutes of August 23, 2011 Page 5 of 12 bus service providers and all of them, she remarked, did have plans outside of high speed rail to grow their ridership. OCTA talked about the MetroLink service expansion plan to increase ridership by taking people quicker and faster from Union Station down to San Diego. Amtrak was optimistic in having their facilities and ridership grow as well as the OCTA bus service and other commuter operations and all had a strong vision to grow their ridership. Regarding economic growth, she added, ARTIC was designed to promote that public /private partnership opportunities for the future by zoning for multi -use and mixed use development in and around the 15 acres which OCTA currently owned. ARTIC had the potential to grow and be a significant economic engine for the area. Council Member Murray concurred needs for the City and the ARC would help Anaheim comply with the state's aggressive global climate emissions. Mark Vukokevic, City Engineer, briefed Council on five Anaheim projects regional in nature. The Gene Autry Overcrossing would travel from the 1 -5 to Haster Street (which was in the process of being renamed Anaheim Boulevard). This project was one quarter of the way through construction and on track for opening in early 2013 and the culmination of a $65 million investment. Brookhurst Street Widening, from Katella Avenue to Ball Road, was a $20 million project that would fix the final segment of bottleneck from Pacific Coast Highway to 1 -5, widening and beautifying the street to six lanes in each direction. Brookhurst Street Widening, from 1 -5 to the 91 freeway would be widened to three lanes in each direction at a cost of $20 million. The department's strategy was to have this project shelf ready to be competitive in getting future grants to construct in 2014 or 2015. Katella Avenue Improvements in the Platinum Triangle was currently in design. Katella to the west end of town was widened and beautified, however the segment remaining in the Platinum Triangle from State College to the 1 -5 remained to be widened. A large portion of that cost would be funded by the Platinum Triangle CFD bonds that were approved two years ago and in the summer of 2012 the first segment from State College to Lewis and under the 1 -5 freeway would be completed. As the Platinum Triangle grew, he added, the City would finish the remaining segments of Katella. The Tustin Avenue and La Palma project was on track to be the largest intersection in Anaheim, with the first triple left turn pocket. This project was estimated at $8 million, a gateway project and important to the Canyon business area and was scheduled to begin the summer of 2012. Council Member Murray inquired how the acquisition process would be handled for that project. Mr. Vukojevic responded the process would be similar to what occurred on the southern segment of Brookhurst and would be evaluated as to what would be the best option with the least amount of private property impact. He added the exact alignment had not been determined but it seemed likely the impact would be to 15 properties. A grant had been received from OCTA to move forward on that project and staff would meet on a one -to -one basis with each individual property owner to the overall goal of beautification and improvement to the neighborhood. Community meetings, he added, would begin in early 2012.

Council Meeting Minutes of August 23, 2011 Page 7 of 12 Maria de la Rosales, speaking on behalf of Ponderosa area residents, stated her neighbors had been meeting to discuss quality of life issues in their community and were hoping to work with the City to find resources to improve Ponderosa Park. She invited City Council to attend committee meetings held the last Monday of each month at Ponderosa School Marta Riviera, Ponderosa resident, suggested working with Target, Von's or the Anaheim Swap Meet to seek donations as a method of keeping the Ponderosa Library open in the evenings. Maria Angeles, another committee member, urged the Ponderosa Library remain open after school emphasizing there were many parents willing to work with the City in finding a solution to potentially reduced library hours. Estella, committee member, also urged Council to support the community by keeping the library open after school hours with parents willing to volunteer their services and /or help find resources to keep the library open. Paulina urged Council's support in keeping the library open stating the only other alternative for youths in this neighborhood was to be in the streets after school and evenings. An individual expressed gratitude to Council for attending the Los Amigos meeting regarding repair of the railroad tracks on Ball Road and Cerritos and submitted a petition in support of this effort. Phyllis Mueller, resident, thanked Public Utilities for responding immediately to a water break on her street. The crews had worked through the night and by morning the problem was solved and she appreciated the City's quick response.

Mayor Tait recommended to staff this event be added to the City's website, if possible. Mayor Tait thanked the Ponderosa community for attending this meeting and making their wishes known and for their willingness to help find resources or other alternatives to compensate for budget reductions. Council Member Murray added that one of the stumbling blocks in keeping the Ponderosa library open was the lack of computers and software for use by both the Ponderosa School and library and by working with Toshiba America, there was now state -of -the art new laptops, with the required software in place, for the school. She added the City was also working with the private sector to find the funding to at least have job training and computer training skills in the evening. Council Member Galloway also thanked the community for coming out and for their desire to work with the City to find solutions for the Ponderosa neighborhood, adding that she would be attending a future meeting and would like to address the committee members on this issue.
