HOWARD CITY MANAGER DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR COUNTY AID TO CITIES FUNDS TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 5310 Each year the City is allocated a certain amount of money from the County Aid to Cities Fund. This money is used to partially offset the cost of operation and maintenance of our traffic signal system. For Fiscal Year 1986-87, the cost of maintenance of the traffic signal system will be approximately $157,000 with $77,809 being available from the County Aid to Cities Fund to partially offset this cost. It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No 5310 requesting an allocation of County Aid to Cities monies in the amount of $77,809.00 for maintenance of said signal system.

COZAD FROM, CHESTER No HOWARD CITY MANAGER DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT: REVISED AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE The County of Los Angeles Road Commissioner has prepared and transmitted a revised agreement for signal maintenance. The revision concerns itself primarily with defining services under routine and extraordinary maintenance and establishing a current year rate of $45 per intersection per month, The new rate is $8 per month less than that for the last fiscal year Other changes include establishing a separate safety lighting maintenance rate and placing equipment repainting in the extraordinary category. Recent equipment acquisitions by the Department of Public Works for street light main- tenance make it possible for City crews to perform the necessary functions in the latter two items reducing contract costs by $632 per year for the lighting maintenance service. Repainting will be done as needed rather than on an on-call basis by L.A. County Road Department and should further reflect a savings to the City. It is recommended that the agreement be approved with the two exceptions noted above and that the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the four copies of said agreement, Respectfully submitted, \ j i CHESTER N.
