contained a new assignment sheet for District 8 Local Assistance staff.
Previously each area coordinator was assigned only by city, now they are
also assigned a program. If there are questions regarding a specific
program, please contact the staff member assigned to the program rather
than the staff member assigned to the particular city.
The next e-mail sent out on May 1, 2007 concerned inactive projects. ' An
inactive project is defined as those that have one, two, or three years in
which there has been no financial activity. Once a project becomes inactive,
the cities/counties have two options in which to process their projects to
prevent FHWA from removing the assigned funds. , The most convenient
option is to submit a progress invoice. Cities are responsible for tracking
their .invoice to make sure it is complete, submitted to the proper locations
and are accepted. No rejection notice is sent or posted on the website If
an invoice is rejected, the next option is to submit a justification form.: All
justifications are due to Caltrans District 8 office no later than May 24,
2007.
In the last e-mail sent out on May 7, 2007, Mr. Yeung discussed Requests
for Authorization (RFA). Currently, FHWA is conducting a 50% sequential
review which is down from the previous 100% reviews occurring over, the
last year. The goal is . to reduce the amount of reviews to 25% or less.
Projects that are randomly selected will have a review time of approximately
45-60 days. The new deadline for submission of RFA's to Caltrans HQ is
July 2'. Therefore, Local Assistance needs RFAs submitted to them by June
1 st Late submissions will be accepted. However, there is no guarantees the
packet will be submitted to FHWA by their deadline.
On May 10, 2007 a South Tehachapi meeting was held at the District 8
office. This meeting is for all counties south of the Tehachapi mountains.
The topics discussed were NEPA Delegation, Inactive projects, and RFA
process. A copy of the agenda and handouts were distributed. Ken Lobeck
created and distributed a recap of the meeting.
. SB.821 Update/Request for Selection Committee
Jerry Rivera asked that everyone be reminded about the May 25th deadline
for SB 821 applications. Also, volunteers for the Selection Committee are
needed. If there are any representatives from _ cities not submitting an
application and would like to volunteer for the committee, please contact
Jerry Rivera. at• RCTC..

7. FY 2008-2012 Measure A Local Streets and Roads CIP Reminder

8. STIP Augmentation and CMIA Update
Shirley Medina reported that the 2006 STIP Augmentation for Riverside County
was submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) on March 30,
2007. The CTC is scheduled to adopt it at their June 79' meeting. The staff
recommendation was released and does not make any changes to RCTC's
submittal.
The Corridor Mobility Improvement Account was approved by' the CTC on
February 28t"_ The projects funded are. SR 91 HOV, 1-215 widening Scott Rd. to
115, and SR91 auxiliary lane, SR241 to SR71 in conjunction with OCTA.
Agreements were signed that establish project milestones. Each . project is
required to meet the milestones. A Delivery Council will be established to
monitor the progress of each project at each milestone. If a milestone has not
been met, the Council will meet with the project sponsor to determine the cause
and steps to keep up with the established timeline.
9. FFY 2006/07 Obligation Plan Update
A copy of the most recent FFY 2006/07 Obligation Delivery Plan was included in
the agenda. This lists which RFA's are submitted and under review or that
should be submitted shortly. FRA/Obligation packages are due before June 1,
2007.
10. 2006 RTIP Update
Ken Lobeck, RCTC, provided TAC members with an update concerning current
2006 RTIP amendments. There are three amendments that were submitted to
SCAG as part of the March 2007 Quarterly Amendment. Formal Amendment 06
began its required 30 day public review at the beginning of May. Once
completed SCAG will forward to FHWA to initiate its review and approval portion.
Amendment 07 has been approved. It is an administrative amendment and
contains projects that are not required to go to FHWA. The special RTP
amendment which resulted in RTIP programming updates through Amendment
08 also has begun its required public review. Amendments 06 and 08 are still
being reviewed and are estimated to receive approval by .early to mid July.
Assuming the recently submitted. SCAG SAFETEA LU Compliance amendment
is approved, SCAG will be able to continue regular RTIP quarterly amendments.
The next regular quarterly amendment will be divided into three separate
amendments. Technical Amendment 09 makes minor changes to projects and

does not need approval from Caltrans HQ or FHWA. The purpose of
Amendment 09. will be to test the new on-line RTIP software. Administrative
Amendment 10 is due to SCAG by June 15,2007. Formal Amendment 11 is due
to SCAG by the end of July. If there are any projects that need to be amended,
or if there are any questions, please contact Ken Lobeck.
11.. Commission Connection/Commission Highlights
Anne Mayer announced RCTC has finalized its budget. Ninety-eight percent of
the reserve is currently committed and ready for projects. There are significant
staffing increases included. The budget went before the Committee last month
and approval is expected in June.
Grade Separations: Anne Mayer discussed that RCTC is reviewing options to
further help fund grade separations identified in the Alameda Corridor East (ACE)
strategy plan. The dilemma for lead agencies is a willingness to initiate the
environmental process with only partial funding for the project. FHWA's
committed funding at environmental document sign -off further complicates the
problem to move forward with grade separation projects.
12. Other Business/Announcements
Shirley Medina reported that the TAC Project Delivery subcommittee has been
meeting on a regular basis. Currently they are working with Caltrans on the
Utility Procedure. requirements. The County has provided some examples of
problems they are having. The Committee is working with headquarters to work
out how to eliminate or streamline some of those issues. At the next meeting
there will be a discussion on the SB 1210 Eminent Domain laws that came into
effect in January and how it affects the local agencies.
16. ADJOURNMENT
There • being no further business for consideration by the Technical Advisory
Committee, the meeting adjourned at approximately 11:35 A.M. The ! next
meeting is scheduled for June 18, 2007, 10:00 A.M., Banning City Hall ''Civic
Center, Large Conference Room, 99 East Ramsey Street, Banning, CA.
