FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: November 5, 1991
SUBJECT: Transfer of Combined Road Plan funds.
Project No.: 0662-6114134
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Public Works to: (1) Transfer $446,180.00 from
Tassajara Joint Exercise of Powers (JEPA) (Trust Account 8210) into West Pittsburg Area of
Benefit (Trust Account 8195); (2) Transfer $336,341.00 from the Road Fund (1108-0662) to the
West Pittsburg Area of Benefit (Trust Account 8195).
II. Financial Impact:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. The monies being transferred from the Tassajara
JEPA and Road Fund were replaced with Federal Combined Road Plan (CRP) funds.
111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The Willow Pass Road widening project was originally approved to receive $1,011,000 CRP.
funds. Under the CRP guidelines, the construction contract had to be awarded by June 1991.
The Willow Pass Road project had two situations which might cause delays and jeopardize the
funding. First, an underground utility district was approved for the area on June 6, 1989. This
district will benefit the community and enhance the visual aesthetics of the area, but could have
possibly delayed the advertisement of the project.
Secondly, the widening project was in the process of review under the National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA). This review was causing potential delays due to the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) review. The SHPO review was estimated to take at least two years.

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Cont.)
To safeguard the federal funds and assure construction of the widening of Willow Pass it was
recommended to transfer the federal monies to projects that could meet the federal time
constraints. The Willow Pass Road project would then be constructed with local monies without
time constraints. Since local revenue was used, the NEPA process was abandoned and the
project was reviewed and approved under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The Willow Pass Road CRP monies were used to construct projects on Camino Tassajara and
Kirker Pass Road. Both these projects qualified for CRP funds and could meet the time
requirements required of the federal process. The monies that would have been used to
construct these projects will be transferred to the West Pittsburg Area of Benefit.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The West Pittsburg Area of Benefit would have a shortfall of $782,521.00.
