3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
M/S/C (Harry/Boyd) to approve the minutes of July 20, 2009.
Abstain: Jonasson
4. PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were no public comments.
5. STATUS OF SAFETEA LU EXTENSION
Shirley Medina, RCTC, indicated that Congressional representatives are looking at a
three to eighteen month extension and it may be about September 30 when we receive
information. The potential for an $8 billion rescission of apportionment balances is
worrisome as well. There is strong support on the Senate side to repeal the rescission
that would mean $800 million of apportionment balance that could be stripped from
California. Those balances are accrued for within the state among the regions that
allows us opportunities to reach beyond obligational authority levels and receive full
apportionment levels.
6. 2010 STIP FUND ESTIMATE
Ms. Medina reported that the 2010 STIP Fund Estimate has been released and it is
expected that it will be approved in October along with an allocation plan for FY 2009/10
projects. There will be no new funding capacity and a lot of shifting out of projects from
the first 3 years to the last 2 years.
In the allocation plan for FY 2009/10, the highest priority projects will likely go to the
Prop 1B programs — CMIA, TCIF and other related programs.
7. ARRA STATUS UPDATE
Andrea Zureick, RCTC, reported that 6 of the 7 projects for which the Commission has
allocated ARRA funds have been obligated by Caltrans. There is $16 million remaining
to be obligated. Caltrans deadline for obligation of the funds is January 1.
8. 2008 RTIP UPDATE AND 2008 RTP AMENDMENT STATUS
Grace Alvarez, RCTC, said that The 2008 RTIP amendments continue to be processed by
SCAG and the reviewing agencies. In less than one year, since the adoption of the 2008
RTIP in October 2008, 24 amendments have been processed by SCAG, 18 of which
RCTC has participated. Currently, there are three formal amendments pending approval

by the reviewing agencies - Amendment No's 20, 23, and 24. Amendment No. 20
completed the public review period on September 7th. The anticipated approval is
sometime next week. Amendment No. 23 public review period will end on September
24th. The anticipated final approval is early October; and Amendment No. 24, that
included the 2008 RTP Amendment No. 2 projects, was submitted to SCAG on
September 9t'. This amendment approval will take a little bit longer due to the nature
of the amendment that involves SCAG's board approval for the release of the draft 2008
RTP Amendment No. 2, for the 30-day public review period scheduled for October 5th
through November 6th. Subsequently, SCAG will address the comments received during
the 30-day public review period and present to their board on December 3rd, the revised
document for approval and release to the funding agencies. The anticipated approval of
the 2008 RTP Amendment No. 2 and the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 24 is spring 2010.
Additionally, one administrative modification was submitted to SCAG on September 17th.
The anticipated approval date is early October.
For your use and information, a listing of the projects in each amendment, including
those under review, is the second attachment to the staff report for this item.
9. 2011 RTIP/FTIP UPDATE
Andrea Zureick stated that a -mails were sent to the TAC regarding the 2011 FTIP, which
is the new name for the 2010 RTIP.
The 2011 FTIP is due to SCAG on December 7, 2009. She said that she and Grace
Alvarez will be available to review programming questions or changes with agencies.
Project changes for existing projects should be submitted to RCTC by Monday, October
12. For new projects, forms should be submitted to RCTC by Monday, October 19. She
called attention to the Adoption Schedule for the 2011 FTIP that is attached to her staff
report.
10. CALTRANS LOCAL ASSISTANCE REPORT
• CHANGES IN STAFF ASSIGNMENTS
• NEW INVOICE PROCEDURES
Patrick Hally, Caltrans Local Assistance, stated that regarding the new invoice
procedures, instead of the local agencies sending the invoices to headquarters now all
the invoices will come through District Local Assistance for review and then they will
forward them to headquarters.
Local Assistance has been restructured and there is a change in staff assignments. John
Pagano has been put in the DLAE position with Sean Yeung overseeing Riverside County
and Patrick Hally overseeing San Bernardino County. In all correspondence, contact the
area engineer, Sean and John Pagano. Bill Mosby will attend the TAC meetings.
Caltrans will send an organizational chart to the local agencies. Within the next month,
the district will have the ability to assign federal project numbers (FPN) for projects.

11. FY 2009/10 TUMF PROGRAM BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS/PROGRAMMING
RECOMMENDATIONS
Shirley Medina reported that staff has been meeting with the public works committee for
TUMF regional arterial projects to review FY 2009/10 to make sure that all the projects
under agreement can continue to progress and be reimbursed. Once an assessment
was made that all the commitments can be met, staff reviewed the ability to program
new phases. Although there was not much funding left, about $6-10 million of
programming capacity, staff acknowledged the cities that requested new programming.
Moreno Valley requested funding for two segments on Perris Boulevard and Lake
Elsinore requested $1 million on their I-15 Railroad Canyon IC project on the
environmental phase. The county of Riverside requested reprogramming about $4
million from the county's eastern bypass projects to the SR-79 Domenigoni right of way
phase.
The committee also looked at holding off on all future programming requests until such
time that revenues increase. Revenues and expenditures will be reviewed in about six
months.
Paul Blackwelder, RCTC, added that there are a number of budget adjustments
scheduled for the October Commission meeting to adjust funds that were
estimated to be billed prior to the close of FY 2008/09, but were not billed until after
July 1st.
12. RIVTAM MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Patty Romo, Riverside County, referred to the latest MOU attached to the agenda. She
stated that there have been inquiries about running new models. She reviewed the
MOU, pointing out the following:
• Agreement
• Maintenance
• Use by agencies
• Updating RivTAM
• Use by entities other than the agencies
• Technical guidelines
• Request for Qualifications (will be published mid -October)
The cost for running the model will be borne by whoever is running the model.
Updating RivTAM will be done by Riverside County. The county will notify the agencies
as changes are made. Ms. Romo indicated that the county anticipates approval by the
next committee meeting so that the MOU can be approved. It is hoped that by the next
TAC meeting, a date for selecting a consultant will be set and anyone wishing to
participate in that process should let Ms. Romo know.
