7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Construction funding for the Metrolink Parking Structure project will be funded in part with
State Transportation Improvement Programs funds (STIP) in the amount of $13.762 million. In
order for the City to administer projects and receive these State funds for use on local transit
related projects, it must enter into a Master Agreement with the State through the State of
California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans).
Master Agreements are general in nature and intended to provide the basic groundwork for future
State - funded allocations on specific projects. Once the specific project is ready to proceed,
Caltrans will prepare a Project Supplement Agreement for the project, which is then executed by
the City Manager or the Director of Public Works in order for the City to receive reimbursement
for expenditures.
It is recommended that the City Council approval Resolution No. 10891 approving the Master
Agreement for State - Funded Transit Projects with Caltrans.
