Commissioner Tavaglione welcomed and introduced Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox,
University of California, Riverside (UCR), to discuss the efforts by UCR to have the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) relocate its testing facilities to Riverside.
Chancellor Wilcox expressed appreciation for Commissioner Tavaglione's introduction
and presented the new location for the CARB testing facility at the UCR, highlighting the
following areas:
• A map depicting the CARB testing facility location at the northeast section of the
agricultural land at UCR;
• Board of Supervisors, city of Riverside, Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce,
and UCR, which all collectively contributed to the successful effort to convince
CARB to relocate its testing facility to Riverside;
• A map depicting the renovation or expansion of other UCR buildings, the plan for
the CARB testing facility location, including a transit facility, student health
center, and a school of medicine outpatient clinic adjacent Interstate 215;
• UCR's research legacy; and
• UCR trends — federal research awards: 2012 to 2015, UCR erollment: 1992 to
present, and faculty growth: 2013 to 2020.
Commissioner Andrew Kotyuk congratulated Chancellor Wilcox as this relocation will
boost the local economy for generations to come.
Commissioner Tavaglione discussed the Riverside team that presented at the CARB
hearing, which included: county of Riverside's Economic Development Director Rob
Field; Cindy Roth, Chamber of Commerce; city of Riverside Mayor and Commissioner
Rusty Bailey, its economic development team and city manager; Supervisor and
Commissioner J. Benoit, who also sits on the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (AQMD); and Executive Director Anne Mayer. He expressed appreciation for all
of the team's efforts and to Chancellor Wilcox for his leadership.
Commissioner Bailey expressed appreciation to Senator Richard Roth for all of his
efforts in Sacramento to ensure a competitive process for the relocation decision.
Chancellor Wilcox expressed this success would not have happened without
Senator Roth.
Commissioner Tavaglione concurred with Commissioner Bailey and Chancellor Wilcox's
comments.

Anne Mayer expressed appreciation to Chancellor Wilcox for all of his efforts. She
stated the relocation of the CARB testing facility to UCR will benefit the local economy
with high paying jobs. She discussed the Commission's billions of dollars in
transportation investments — past, present, and future. She then discussed the opening
of the commuter rail station at Hunter Park and its close proximity to the Center for
Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT), which will draw more technology -
based businesses to the area.
5. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Anne Mayer presented Project Delivery Director Marlin Feenstra, Government Relations
Manager Aaron Hake, and Capital Projects Manager Edda Rosso with 10-year service
awards.
Chair Matas noted the Clerk of the Board will electronically distribute the handouts from
the public speakers to the Commissioners after the meeting.
Brian Tisdale, representing property tenants George and Brenda Willis, discussed the
tenants' concerns regarding the Commission's increase in property license fees and
requested the Commission revisit its fee schedule. He read the response sent to
Commissioner Chuck Washington's office from Anne Mayer dated January 26, 2016,
regarding APN 442-120-007, 1125 W. Acacia Avenue, Hemet, CA 92343. Mr. Tisdale
also noted he received an email from Chuck Wise, the property owner of the subject
property, requesting the Commission revisit its fee schedule.
George and Brenda Willis expressed their concerns the Commission's license fee
increases are not in line with the property market value. She discussed the purchase
price of the property in 2002, how property values are declining due to criminal activity
and homelessness, and concern for losing their renters. She stated the property has a
flood channel, the railroad, and no access road and is being used for storage. She
requested the Commission review the property's market value again and come to an
agreeable lease amount for this property.

9. 2016 STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REVISION UPDATE
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director, provided an update for the 2016
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). She stated the adoption of the 2016
STIP is scheduled at the May 18-19 California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting
and an update will be provided at the next Budget and Implementation Committee and
Commission meetings.
In response to Commissioner Ted Weill's question if the CTC's reversal on the STIP funds
impacts the $2 million set aside for the CV Link project, Shirley Medina replied the CV
Link project remains as a STIP-funded project in the 2016 STIP once it becomes adopted.
In response to Commissioner Weill's clarification the CV Link project does not require
any additional funds from another source, Shirley Medina replied not from the STIP.
At Commissioner Washington's request for a list of agencies that did not reduce by their
fair share, Shirley Medina stated CTC staff is working with each of the regions to
continue to find more reductions and it is uncertain what was actually submitted by
each of the regions.
Commissioner Washington expressed when that information is received if Anne Mayer
is prepared to defend the Commission's position having contributed the Commission's
fair share and lobby the CTC's actions.
Anne Mayer replied she is ready to do so although staff needs the details. She discussed
the formulas of fair share cuts for each county, stating staff needs to evaluate the
counties that did not cut any projects and if these counties have projects to cut.
Commissioner Michael Naggar expressed appreciation for Commissioner Washington's
comments. He then expressed appreciation on behalf of the city of Temecula to
Commissioners and staff for their continued diligence on this subject as the I-15/French
Valley Parkway interchange project is critical to the south county as it is a health and
safety issue.
In response to Commissioner Jan Harnik's question about the fair share reduction
compliance, Shirley Medina replied CTC staff is still working with all of the regions. She
explained the CTC staff's final recommendation will be released prior to the May CTC
meeting. Ms. Medina stated staff will evaluate and respond to the list once it is
released to ensure the counties took their fair share cut and staff will inform the
Commission at the next meeting of the next steps.

In response to Commissioner Dawn Haggerty's question regarding the STIP funds for the
I-15/Railroad Canyon Road and Franklin Street interchange project and if there is a
backup plan if the Commission acquires more of its fair share whether it is reinstated,
Shirley Medina replied this project was programmed for the right of way phase and is in
the environmental phase. She stated it is a Regional Arterial Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee (TUMF) project, which is one of the first funding sources being looked at
to replace the STIP funds.
Anne Mayer stated it will be staff's recommendation that I-15/Railroad Canyon Road
and Franklin Street interchange project remain a priority for funding as funds become
available.
