ITEM 4 MEETING DATE: October 27, 2017 TITLE: Executive Director’s Report (Receive and File) PREPARED BY: Derek Minnema INFRA GRANT UPDATE Our team has been working diligently to prepare the grant application for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant program. This funding program was discussed at the JPA’s August 25, 2017, Board meeting. This is a noteworthy milestone for the JPA as this is not only our first application to USDOT but we are applying with the full support of our 5 member jurisdictions, SACOG, Caltrans and every state and federal representative that represent this project. Since the August meeting, we have made significant progress on the application and I would like to thank the City of Elk Grove for lending assistance from their federal lobbyist to strategize and review the application. We will submit the final application by uploading it on the federal Grants.gov website no later than 5:00 p.m. on November 2, 2017. The Connector’s INFRA request will be for $52.6 million, an amount that was determined to be competitive using the cost to ratio analysis provided by USDOT. Additionally, I was fortunate to attend a roundtable discussion on October 9 with Vice President Mike Pence and House Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy where they reiterated that infrastructure remains a top priority for the Administration and Congress. We are in discussions with Leader McCarthy’s office on our federal funding efforts and will keep the Board apprised. Letters of support have been obtained from the following stakeholders: Congressmen McClintock and Bera State Senators Gaines, Pan, and Berryhill Assemblymembers Cooper, Cooley and Kiley Caltrans, SACOG, STA Page 1 of 6
CA Alliance for Jobs, Sacramento Metro Chamber, BIA, Sacramento Region Builders Exchange, VSP Global and the El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova and Folsom Chambers of Commerce Once submitted, the U.S. Department of Transportation will review and rank the applications and are projected to notify selected applicants of awards in the spring of 2018. PROJECT MOMENTUM BUILDING We are making steady progress toward getting the alignment shovel ready and poised for quick construction start- up when the state and federal funding we’re actively pursuing is secured. This momentum is best demonstrated through a series of tangible milestones and events over the past year, and that are anticipated in the coming months, including: Adoption by the Connector JPA board of the largest budget in the JPA’s history. Getting planning and engineering work underway on 22.5 miles of the 34-mile alignment. Assuming lead responsibility for environmental clearance of the 6.3-mile Kammerer Road project. Getting the 4.3-mile B2 segment in East Elk Grove into final design and right-of- way acquisition. Working with Elk Grove on a precise roadway plan for the 2.7-mile alignment in the Sheldon-Wilton area. Completing environmental review on the 7.4-mile D2 segment between CA-16 and White Rock Road. Initiating final design and approving a Construction Manager/General Contractor contract for the 5.3-mile D3-E1 segment between Prairie City Road and Latrobe Road. The JPA has transitioned from a planning to project implementation agency , and we’re moving as fast as is feasible to ensure that any additional construction funding we are able to bring to the project will be quickly put to work.

SACRAMENTO TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (STA) AND SENATE BILL 1 A meeting was held on October 19 and attended by a staff member from each of the local Sacramento area jurisdictions to discuss the Senate Bill (SB) 1 Local Partnership Program (LPP). STA has been tasked with prioritizing projects and submitting applications to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for the competitive program. There is the potential for the Connector to apply under this program and I anticipate providing more details at our December board meeting. STA MEASURE A EXPENDITURE PLAN At the same meeting on October 19 we also discussed the future of Measure A expenditure plan. After 10 years of the measure being in effect, the trend of sales tax and development fee collections can be compared to the original revenue projections. The difference between the amount projected and actual collection will likely require the expenditure plan to be modified. FUNDING IN EL DORADO SECURED A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that provides funding for the design of the Connector between the El Dorado County Line and Latrobe Road was adopted at the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting on September 26. Subsequently, a kick- off meeting occurred on October 18 and I’m happy to report that the design is underway! 3 rd ANNUAL STAKEHOLDER LUNCH On October 19, we hosted our 3 rd annual landowner luncheon. Two years ago the focus was on Folsom, last year we focused on Rancho Cordova, and this year the focus was on Elk Grove, and in particular the Kammerer Road project (which is on the agenda today). Our attendance included representatives from both the City of Elk Grove and the County Sacramento along with 9 major landowners. LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN UPDATE A kick off meeting was held this month with the Connector Project Development Team to discuss the landscape master plan for the corridor. Design Workshop is the consultant hired to do the work and over the next several months you will see opportunities for Board and community input as well as reporting of key contract milestones.
