CONSIDERATION OF ACTIONS RELATIVE TO TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE DOCUMENTS: a. Amendment and Restatement of Joint Powers Agreement of CVAG. b. Implementation Agreement Authorizing CVAG to Manage and Administer the Regional Transportation Program. C. Ordinance Establishing a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee. d. Resolution Setting the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Amount. Amendment and Restatement of Joint Powers Agreement of CVAG. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that this has previously been discussed. The major items in this agreement include allowing CVAG to have separate special agreements in the future, although the only one contemplated at this time is the Regional Transportation Program. The other items Cf concern was the addition of powers of eminent domain and a section on arbitration. If the City wishes to remain a member of CVAG, this agreement needs to be adopted. Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that she has reviewed the agreement and it appears to cover all of our concerns. Regarding the veto procedure, she felt that it is written strong enough that we do have veto power over eminent domain and she was comfortable with the arbitration clause, noting that she didn't feel it could be construed to apply to anything other than a disagreement and interpretation under this contract and not other kinds of disputes that might arise. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Sniff that the Amendment and Restatement of the Joint Powers Agreement of CVAG be approved. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 89-58. Implementation Agreement Authorizing CVAG to Manage and Administer the Regional Transportation Program. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the key parts of the Implementation Agreement that should be of concern are Section 2.1, which states if a local agency does not adopt a fee, then they forfeit their share of the local portion Measure A funds. At this point in time, that would amount to about 35% of the total 1/2 cent sales tax collected. That money would give us $70,000 to $75,000 this year. If we were to adopt the fee, based on last year, we would have given approximately one million dollars to the regional program. He commented on the City's infrastructure fee program, which in part, is intended to provide funds for local street needs. Therefore, he did not believe that we should adopt a fee, but felt that we should continue with our commitment to spend the TUMF equivalent on the regional system. Our local share is forfeited to the regional program, and he felt that we should make sure that it is spent on the regional program. Further, that we should challenge the other cities and County to request that their funds go into the regional program.

The recordation states that upon sale of the property, the portion of the money would be repaid to the low/mod income account. So no lien is paid until the property is sold and from the proceeds of that sale, a portion of that money would be returned to the Redevelopment Agency so that we will have money to deal with other low income projects in the City. Regarding evaluation of applications, that is being done by a third party Rosenow, Spevacek Group in Santa Ana. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Kiedrowski advised that everyone in Phase II will receive information on the program along with an application. Council concurred on having an adjourned meeting on June 15th at 10:00 A.M. to review the budget for 1989/90 Fiscal Year. Council adjourned to closed session pursuant to Section 54957 of the Government Code to discuss personnel and potential litigation. Council reconvened with no action being taken. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned to June 13, 1989 at 7:30 P.M. to the La Quinta Community Center to conduct a public hearing on the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District upon motion by Council Member Sniff seconded by Council Member Bohnenberger and carried unanimously.
