Approve the aCTA Go Local Program Study Cooperation Agreement by and 4183 between the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and the City of Anaheim and authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to execute all documents necessary or convenient to give effect to the agreement. (See Council Item # 08) Shohreh DuPuis, Transit Manager, reported Item 8 and Item 1 were complementary matters requiring action by the Council and by the Redevelopment Agency. She stated that for the first time, Orange County Transit Authority (OCT A) was turning transit planning back to cities and asking the local cities in the county to initiate their own transit programs. OCTA was awarding every city in the county $100,000 of Measure M funds to begin a transit planning study. She explained Anaheim had worked with partnering with neighboring cities and had met with Villa Park, Orange, Yorba Linda and Placentia to see how to expand beyond the boundaries of Anaheim. To date, she noted, the city of Villa Park agreed to provide their grant to Anaheim to lead the study and look at transit opportunities in the city of Villa Park, Orange agreed to provide half of their grant toward this study and Anaheim Redevelopment Agency was interested in looking at Anaheim Canyon station to maximize its usage and recommended an award of another $100,000 toward the study. To complete a comprehensive study and to look at transit opportunities in Anaheim, staff recommended approval of $200,000 of additional sales tax revenue funds to be used for the City to create a comprehensive transit vision for Anaheim, looking at opportunities of high capacity advanced technology transit alignments between the resort area and the new multi-modal transportation center (ARTIC). Chairman Pringle emphasized this was an initiative of OCT A and all cities in Orange County had received $100,000 to come up with some discussion on how to bring about transit use in their community. OCTA's concern was that municipalities not be pushed by some regional command and control model as to how to move people within the cities and to ensure programs originating elsewhere would not negatively impact their communities. A part of this program was for cities to come up with ideas and submit them competitively to aCTA and if Measure M was renewed in November, to competitively go after those funds to bring about local transit connectors into those Metrolink hubs. Agency Member Hernandez remarked Chairman Pringle sat on the aCTA board, along with ten other Orange County city mayors and it was appropriate to take this action in moving forward with this program. Agency Member Chavez moved to approve Item No.1, seconded by Agency Member Hernandez. Roll Call vote: Ayes - 5; Chairman Pringle, Agency Members: Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes - O. Motion Carried ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, Chairman Pringle adjourned the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency meeting at 6:21 P.M. ;r;u~ Sheryll Schroeder, MMC Secretary, Anaheim Redevelopment Agency
