of the Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange.

2006 Project Area No. 2 and 3 bond proceeds. After receiving the former Agency's "Finding
of Completion" staff was also able to include the $15,000,000 on the Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule (ROPS) 13-14B for the period of January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014
which was approved by the Department of Finance (DOF) on December 17, 2013.
The attached resolution and agreement have been drafted to facilitate the deposit of funds
with CVAG for the project. The draft agreement has been submitted to CVAG for approval.
Upon approval by the CVAG Board, staff will submit the agreement to the Oversight Board
for their review and approval, and then it will be provided to the DOF for review. The DOF
has indicated in the past that they will not be overseeing the expenditure of bond funds,
however, they still must approve the action of the Oversight Board. If there are no
objections to the expenditures by DOF, the City's portion of the estimated costs for the
improvements can be drawn from available bond proceeds and delivered to CVAG to be
placed in an escrow account for this project, in accordance with the agreement.
Fiscal Analvsis
$15,000,000 of the City's share would be immediately funded by the Successor Agency
from available bond proceeds. CVAG has agreed to fund up to 75% of the estimated total
project cost of $65,100,000. The actual 25% share will be calculated based on the
construction bid and all other associated costs. CVAG will also allocate the 25% local share
to other benefiting local agencies based on the share study utilizing the RIVTAM
(transportation demand model). Pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 of the agreement, the
remaining portion may be funded by Measure A Funds, unless additional bond proceeds
are available for use. Only in the event there are no funding sources available from
Measure A, Successor Agency, or CVAG would the City have to consider utilizing monies
available in the Capital Projects Fund to pay for any of the costs.

Funds (respectively, the "PA2 Bond Proceeds" and the "PA3 2006 Bond Proceeds")
transferred to the Successor Agency's control by operation of law.
N. According to HSC Section 34191.4, after the Successor Agency's receipt

P. The Successor Agency desires to use a portion of the PA2 2006 Bond
Proceeds and a portion of the PA3 2006 Bond Proceeds to provide funds to complete
the Project.
Q. In consideration of the City's staffing capability and established

funds for TPPS Projects, the Successor Agency wishes to enter into this Agreement, for
the City to perform such coordination with CVAG and such other work as necessary or
desirable to complete the Project and for the transfer of a portion of the PA2 2006 Bond

S. Pursuant to HSC Section 34191.4(c)(2), the use of PA2 2006 Bond
Proceeds and PA3 2006 Bond Proceeds for obligations must be listed on a ROPS.
T. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Successor Agency has
prepared a ROPS listing line items which include the use of the PA2 2006 Bond
Proceeds (in the amount of $6,800,000) and the PA3 2006 Bond Proceeds (in the

with respect to the design, planning, specification and the timing with respect to all
components of the Project. Subject to the City's compliance with its covenants set forth
in this Agreement, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the City's implementation
of the Project may be governed by separate agreements between the City and CVAG,
either previously or hereafter entered.

(b) CVAG shall immediately deposit the SA Bond Proceeds, upon
receipt, into a separate interest-bearing account (the "SA Contribution AccounY') at a
financial institution (the "Bank") designated by the City. The City may from time to time
designate a different Bank for the holding of the SA Contribution Account by a written
notice to CVAG. Upon receipt of such written notice, CVAG shall take prompt and
timely actions to comply with the new Bank designation. The City shall pay all costs
due to the Bank(s) associated with the establishment and maintenance of the SA
Contribution Account, including any costs relating to the change of Banks for the holding
of the SA Contribution Account.
(c) The SA Contribution Account is being created solely for the
purpose of, and shall be held in trust for, the effectuation of this Agreement. All interest
earnings from moneys deposited in the SA Contribution Account shall be kept in and
become a part of the SA Contribution Account. CVAG shall provide, or cause to be
provided, to the City copies of the Bank statements showing the then current balance of

conformance with CVAG requirements, any other applicable agreements between the

requested by the City to cooperate with City to effectuate this Section 4; provided, that
CVAG does not assume any responsibility for verifying that any such request by the City
is in fact in compliance with the covenants in the Loan Agreements or the Tax
Certificates. CVAG may conclusively rely on the City's representations that such
requests and directions are in compliance with this Section 4.
Section 5. Upon the completion of the Project or the disbursement of all
payments applicable to the Local Share of the Project, whichever is earlier, CVAG shall,
within ten business days of written notice by the City, release and transfer all moneys
remaining in the SA Contribution Account to the Successor Agency. The Successor
Agency shall re-deposit all of such released moneys into the applicable Project Fund(s)
for use for other legally permissible purposes.

2006 Bond Proceeds or PA3 2006 Bond Proceeds remain available, the Successor
Agency shall list the Additional Funding Amount on the ROPS for the next applicable
ROPS Period. Upon obtaining the Oversight Board's and the DOF's approval for such
ROPS item(s), the Successor Agency shall transfer or caused to be transferred the
Additional Funding Amount to CVAG within 30 days after the commencement of the
applicable ROPS Period (or as soon thereafter as practicable). CVAG shall, upon
receipt, immediately deposit such Additional Funding Amount into the SA Contribution
Account.
Section 7. If at any time the City determines that it shall make contributions to
the Local Share of the Project from other sources available to the City, nothing herein
shall constitute a restriction on such contribution; provided, in order to maintain clear
records for the purposes of Section 4 of this Agreement, any such contribution from
other sources shall be kept separately from the SA Contribution Account.

from the actions or inactions of CVAG taken in the perFormance of this Agreement.
Section 13. (a) Failure or delay by any Party to perForm any material term or
provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default under this Agreement; provided,

after receipt of written notice specifying such default, and shall diligently complete such
cure, correction or remedy, such Party shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder.

remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights

such Party in the alternative and the assertion of a remedy by a Party shall not be

enforcement of, or the declaration of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement
or as a result of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing
