change the designation.
Joseph Alcock, Transportation Analyst, responded that this was a state facility and
relinquished back to the City of Yorba Linda from Caltrans. Based on that action,
the city has come to OCTA and requested that it be added to the master plan.

7. (Continued)
Chair Bates referenced a letter which was received from Yorba Linda, and noted
that the date was in April 2010, and inquired why it took so long to come forward to
the Board.
Mr. Alcock answered that staff was waiting to receive letters of support from
surrounding agencies, which took some time to go through that process.
A motion was made by Director Campbell, seconded by Director Crandall, and
declared passed by those present, to approve an amendment to the Master Plan of
Arterial Highways to reclassify Imperial Highway (State Route 90), from

execute Agreement No. C-0-1662 between the Orange County Transportation
Authority and C.C. Myers, Inc., the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, in an
amount not to exceed $22,200,333, for the construction of the Sand Canyon
Avenue Railroad Grade Separation Project.
12. Measure M Quarterly Progress Report
Director Campbell pulled this item and referenced the close-out of Measure M, and
stated that the expenditure through December 31, 2010, shows the fund still out of
balance and inquired how this will be trued-up by the time required to do so.
Ken Phipps, Executive Director of Finance and Administration, responded that the
freeway program is the program that was moved forward first in Measure M and
that is reflected in the actuals to-date, where we are 47 percent expended, and only
20 percent expended in the transit mode. He further stated that transit mode
expenditures, Metrolink service expansion plan, and contributions from the transit
mode of Measure M to the Commuter and Urban Rail Endowment operating fund
are yet to be realized; therefore, there will be very large expenditures in the final
two quarters of the Measure M program.
A motion was made by Director Campbell, seconded by Vice Chair Glaab, and
declared passed by those present, to receive and file as an information item.
13. Designation of Implementing Agency for Highway Projects

execute Cooperative Agreement No. C-1-2386 between the Orange County
Transportation Authority and the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency,
in a net amount not to exceed $989,015, to prepare a project study report/project
report for the State Route 241/91 Express Lanes Connector Project.

15. Measure M2 Project U Senior/Disabled Program Funding and Policy
Guidelines
A member of the public, Frank Austin, pulled this item for comment, who stated it
had been his understanding that Project U in Measure M was for the discounts and
stabilization of senior and disabled fares. He stated that this does not fit into that
requirement and appears that some Project U funds are being taken to fund the
cities and local transportation agencies and may not be accessible under the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Andrew Oftelie, Deputy Director of Finance and Administration, responded that
Project U has three components, one is for one percent of the net revenues to go
toward the Senior Mobility Programs administered by the cities; one percent of the
net revenues goes towards the County of Orange’s Senior Non-emergency Medical
Program, and one percent to stabilize fares for seniors and persons with
disabilities. The portion that stabilizes fares for seniors and persons with disabilities
maintains the same percentage of subsidy that is in place under the original
Measure M; OCTA is continuing the existing fare stabilization program.
Chair Bates requested that staff contact Mr. Austin to discuss this issue.
A motion was made by Vice Chair Glaab, seconded by Director Amante, and
declared passed by those present, to:
A. Approve Measure M2 Project U funding and policy guidelines which support
transportation programs for seniors and persons with disabilities.
B. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer, or his designee, to execute
cooperative agreements with local jurisdictions and agencies participating in
Project U programs.
C. Authorize the continued use of Transportation Development Act Article 4.5
funds through fiscal year 2015-16 in an amount estimated to be $300,000
annually for the Senior Mobility Program non-profit participants.
D. Authorize the use of Transportation Development Act Article 4.5 funds for up
to three years for cities that realize a reduction in Senior Mobility Program
funding under the proposed Measure M2 Project U policy guidelines.
E. Direct staff to develop a Fare Stabilization Report to be submitted to the
Finance and Administration Committee on a quarterly basis.

16. Proposition 1B/Measure M Traffic Light Synchronization Program –
Beach Boulevard (State Route 39) Results
A motion was made by Director Moorlach, seconded by Director Buffa, and
declared passed by those present, to receive and file as an information item.
17. Magnolia Street Traffic Signal Synchronization Project Overview
A motion was made by Director Moorlach, seconded by Director Buffa, and
declared passed by those present, to:
A. Direct staff to include the Magnolia Street corridor project in the
Orange County Transportation Authority’s Fiscal Year 2011-12 Budget, in an
amount not to exceed $400,000 of Measure M Growth Management Area
funds.
B. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer, or his designee, to negotiate and
execute a non-financial memorandum of understanding with the cities of
Anaheim, Buena Park, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove,
Huntington Beach, Stanton, Westminster, the County of Orange, and the
California Department of Transportation describing roles and responsibilities
for implementation of the Magnolia Street corridor project.
18. Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Allocation Program - Incorporation into
the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program and Tier 1
Grant Program 2011 Call for Projects
A motion was made by Director Moorlach, seconded by Director Buffa, and
declared passed by those present, to:
A. Authorize staff to issue the fiscal year 2011-12 Call for Projects for the Tier 1
Grant Program for $2.8 million.
B. Approve the procedures, applications, and revised proposal evaluation
criteria for the Tier 1 Grant Program 2011 Call for Projects.
C. Approve the addition of the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program to
the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program Guidelines.
7

19. Measure M2 Project T Program Guideline Modifications
Director Pulido pulled this item and stated that he would like to make a motion that
the Board approves the staff recommendation, but that there be an amendment to
the motion to send back to staff and the Transit Committee the issue of how to
handle unprogrammed funds in Project T. He stated he feels there are other needs
throughout the County that impact stations, particularly in South County, Irvine, and
Santa Ana.
Director Nelson indicated he felt that Project T is clear that the only projects allowed
for funding in Measure M (not the guidelines) are those projects that are necessary
to connect to high-speed rail. He further stated that there is only one station, and
there will definitely be excess program funding.
Director Campbell agreed this issue should return through Committee, but
questioned if it should go through the Transit or Transportation 2020 Committee.
Director Pulido stated it should go through both.
Chair Bates agreed this is the correct direction to take and asked that Measure M
and Measure M2 funds be considered in this process.
A motion was made by Director Pulido, seconded by Director Nguyen, and
declared passed by those present, to:
A. Approve modifications to the Measure M2’s Project T Guidelines, as
presented.
B. Request staff to develop suggestions for the use of unprogrammed funds in
Project T and return those suggestions to the Transit and
Transportation 2020 Committees.

20. Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center Project Update
Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO), Darrell Johnson, provided opening
comments, providing an overview of what today’s presentations would include, and
introduced Jennifer Bergener, Program Manager, Capital Programs, who presented
this update for the Board, which included a brief history of the project, along with a
status report.
8

20. (Continued)
Director Nelson referred to slide six of the presentation and expressed his concern
if all the improvements are necessary to connect to high-speed rail.
Ms. Bergener responded that all improvements and all the infrastructure being put
in place are necessary to accommodate the existing transit services, the growth of
those services, and to integrate any high-speed rail system into the station.
Director Moorlach referred to the ARTICinfo.com website, and stated that it appears
that there are four or five different rail lines and asked where all those rail lines will
be on the map presented on slide two at this time.
Ms. Bergener responded that there are more detailed maps that outline each line,
and added that the rail lines that are shown on slide two are the two main lines that
OCTA owns now, and two additional rail lines will be put into place for a high-speed
rail system as the project concept is called for at this point.
Director Moorlach inquired if there is a timeline as to when high-speed rail be a
reality and Ms. Bergener responded that the implementing legislation says that
high-speed rail will come into Anaheim in 2020, and stated that the ARTIC station is
anticipated to be open and operational in 2013.
Director Moorlach asked, then, what is the urgency for ARTIC seven years ahead
of that time, and Ms. Bergener replied that the reasons for the timeline are:
OCTA is readying itself to receive high-speed rail – either one of the
systems;
It will accommodate the existing growth of the Metrolink service
expansion program;
It will take advantages of the favorable construction bidding
environment that Orange County is experiencing at this time.
Director Moorlach inquired what would be the result of the development of this
station if high-speed rail does not materialize, and Ms. Bergener stated
Orange County would have a multi-modal transit center with independent utility to
accommodate existing transit services.
At this time, Chair Bates called upon Natalie Meeks, Public Works Director,
City of Anaheim, who offered background, an update, and presentation to the
Board as a supplement to the OCTA update. Ms. Meeks submitted to the Clerk of
the Board letters of support regarding ARTIC.

20. (Continued)
Public comments were heard from:
Kate Klimow, Vice President of Government Affairs, Orange County Business
Council (OCBC), affirmed OCBC’s support for the ARTIC project.
Charles Alhers, President of the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention
Bureau, stressed the importance of this project, citing the employment benefits the
project would bring and the ability to serve visitors to Orange County in a more
organized manner.
Dennis Kuhl, Chairman of Angels Baseball, expressed that organization’s full
support of the ARTIC project.
Tony Bruno, Vice President of Disneyland Resort Hotels in Downtown Disney,
extended the Resort’s full support for the ARTIC project, and stated this project will
dramatically shape the tourism and hospitality industry in Orange County.
Jim Adams, Council Representative, Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building Trades
Council, stressed the importance of this project citing up to 5,000 jobs for
consultants, contractors, and construction workers, which would be created for the
area.
Lucy Dunn, Commissioner, California Transportation Commission (CTC), echoed
the support expressed by the previous speakers and stated that the CTC has
scrutinized this project and emphasized that this project is “ready to go,” which is a
requirement for the funding available. She stated that jobs creation is a paramount
priority, and this project would result in a great number of jobs.
Director Tait offered comments in support of this project and explained that the
City of Anaheim has envisioned and worked on this project for over 20 years.
He stressed the importance of the project to the entire County, its residents, and
Anaheim’s 20+ million visitors per year and the County’s 40 million visitors.
Director Bankhead read a lengthy statement into the record, and expressed his
non-support of the proposed guidelines modification, indicating that the future of
high-speed rail in California is unknown. He stated that he felt these criteria would
eliminate the opportunity for every Orange County Metrolink station, except
Anaheim, to seek project T funding.
Director Bankhead stated that criteria should be revised to reflect Metrolink stations
that have been identified by the California High-Speed Rail Authority as potential
stations, such as Fullerton, as eligible for Project T funding or, alternatively, the
criteria should be revised to reflect that all regional Metrolink stations which may
need to ultimately accommodate high-speed rail are eligible for Project T funding.
He added that grade separation projects could begin immediately if this money
were to be re-directed to those projects.
10

20. (Continued)
Director Moorlach requested more data be provided on the ARTIC website and
added that he feels “nervous” regarding this project.
Director Amante addressed comments by other Board Members and stated that
there should be pride for what is trying to be accomplished with ARTIC, and
stated that the Board should definitely support this project.
Director Nelson stated he feels there has not been a finding that these
improvements are necessary for connection to high-speed rail and that there are
funds available. He further suggested that a hearing be scheduled to establish
the necessity for these improvements.
Director Buffa addressed General Counsel, Kennard R. Smart, Jr., and inquired if
the changes that came from the Transit Committee address the concern
regarding the Project T funds.
Mr. Smart responded that he thinks it addresses those concerns. He added that
this Board has not, in the past, made findings when it is an approved project for
funding under Measure M. He added that there are several different categories
under Measure M by which funding may be provided for a project and ultimately,
applications are made to this Board, and the Board approves projects for funding
under Measure M – it may be Project T, U, or another project.
Mr. Smart stated that in making those approvals, whether Measure M or
Measure M2, this Board has never made findings as to its determination in
approving a project, and it is not required by law.
Director Buffa emphasized that ARTIC and high-speed rail are not synonymous
and urged caution in that context as there is no way to know at this time the
exact future of high-speed rail.
Director Campbell expressed his concern regarding a Board Member stating they
would not vote for a project due to it not benefitting their particular city.
He pointed out that Project R, which has $1 billion in it, states that the service will
improve upgraded stations and parking capacity, frequency of shuttle service,
safety improvements, etc. Director Campbell suggested the City of Fullerton look
to Project R for funds, rather than Project T.
Chair Bates thanked the Board Members for their comments and stated that
Director Buffa expressed her feelings and that she is separating ARTIC from
high-speed rail to treat it as a stand-alone intermodal center for what service is
available presently and what can be envisioned for the future.
11

20. (Continued)
Chair Bates stated that Director Nelson’s comments are relevant and pertinent,
and she encouraged Members to be aware of the will of the voters and requested
that General Counsel and the Chief Executive Officer meet with her and
Vice Chair Glaab to gain a fuller understanding of Project T and explore the
funding and findings. In that way, a discussion could be addressed with more
information available.
Chair Bates cautioned that it be remembered that ARTIC will be a transportation
center which will potentially serve all of Orange County.
A motion was made by Director Tait, seconded by Director Buffa, and declared
passed by those present, to record the Committee’s support for this project and that
the Board re-approve its support for the ARTIC project.
Director Bankhead voted in opposition of this motion.
21. Consultant Selections for On-Call Acquisition, Relocation Assistance, and
Property Management Services for Environmental Mitigation, Highway, Rail,
and Transit Projects
Chair Bates and Directors Nelson, Nguyen, and Tait recused themselves from
participating in the discussion on this item, as well as the vote, citing the Levine Act.
Joe Gallardo, Manager of Right-of-Way, presented this item for the Board,
explaining the details of this selection process. Mr. Gallardo referenced a recent
protest on this selection and explained the meetings to address the protestor’s
concerns; the protest ultimately was withdrawn.
A motion was made by Director Winterbottom, seconded by Director Campbell and
declared passed by those present, to authorize the Chief Executive Officer, or his
designee, to execute the following on-call agreements, in an aggregate amount not
to exceed $3,000,000, for on-call acquisition, relocation assistance, and property
management services for environmental mitigation, highway, rail, and transit

Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Will Kempton, provided opening comments and
introduced Paddy Gough, Executive Director of Human Resources and
Organizational Development, who reviewed the purpose of developing the Strategic
Plan and gave the background on this work, as well as explaining the process by
which it was developed. Mr. Gough introduced Lance Wade, Section Manager,
who provided this update on the OCTA Strategic Plan currently under development.
Mr. Wade reported that the strategic planning Initiative is nearing completion and
introduced Pat McLaughlin, Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager with MIG,
the contractor for the development of the plan. Ms. McLaughlin presented the
Draft Strategic Plan for the Board Members’ comments and recommendations.
Following Ms. McLaughlin’s presentation, she invited Members to provide any

longer than one year.
24. Public Comments
Chair Bates announced that members of the public who wished to address the
Board of Directors regarding any item appearing on the agenda could complete a
speaker’s card and submit it to the Clerk of the Board or notify the Clerk of the
Board of an item on which they wished to speak.
Alec Kimmel and David Weinreich, representing University of California at Irvine
(UCI) Transit Advocates, appeared together and offered comments on behalf of
students at UCI. They informed the Board they had performed a survey and are
currently doing a study through the Transit Advocates to understand
transportation needs of students.
Frank Austin, representing the National Muscular Dystrophy Society,
complimented OCTA on its paratransit system. He addressed the use of
mini-vans for service on the week-ends and stated that he feels it will likely need
to be the sole source of service for week-ends, rather than ACCESS buses due
to cost.
Mr. Austin expressed his concern for how the tracking is being done for
performance of this service against Americans with Disabilities Act requirements,
and is not aware of a “paper trail” on that service. He noted differences in types
of service and stated that his counterparts feel the same way, and hopes the
paratransit services do not get changed to taxi type of service.
Chair Bates requested staff track performance of mini-vans versus buses for
transportation for the disabled.
Curtis Gamble, representing transit drivers, stated that drivers have issues with
MV Transit, would like to have passes for using the State Route 91 for free, and
would like Tier 2 retirement with full medical provided. He also asked that the
Board contemplate video-taping the Board meetings.
