AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR THE
SHARING OF COSTS FOR PAVEMENT REHABILITATION AND
TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADES ON FOOTHILL BOULEVARD BETWEEN
ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD AND MICHILLINDA AVENUE
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The County of Los Angeles is planning to rehabilitate the pavement and upgrade the
traffic signals on Foothill Boulevard between Rosemead Boulevard and Michillinda
Avenue. The City of Arcadia's jurisdictional boundaries include a portion of the Foothill
Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue intersection. As a result, the County has formally
requested that the City share in the cost of the project. The cost of the total project is
approximately $2,961,000, of which the City's share is $113,101. The County will use
grant funding to pay for $103,101 of the City's share, leaving the City with a net share of
$10,000. The Development Services Department has reviewed the plans and the
agreement, and has approved the plans for the Arcadia portion for construction.
BACKGROUND
The County of Los Angeles is planning to administer two construction projects in the
Foothill Blvd Corridor within the City of Arcadia. The first project is to rehabilitate the
pavement and make repairs to the curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and ADA ramps on the
segment between Rosemead Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue. The City has
jurisdiction over the east side of the Michillinda Avenue intersection. The second
project is to make traffic signal improvements, including coordination and
synchronization of the signals between Rosemead Boulevard and Mountain Avenue in
Monrovia. The pavement project has been in the design stage for over a year and is
now ready for construction. The traffic signal project is still in the design stage.

DISCUSSION
In order to minimize disruption and inconvenience to the public, the County has
accelerated the traffic signal design for the segment between Rosemead Boulevard and
Michillinda Avenue and will combine the traffic signal improvements and the paving into
one project.
The cost of the total project is approximately $2,961,000. The County has received
grant funding from Metro and has other sources of funding for the project. This
segment of Foothill Boulevard is shared jurisdictionally by the County and the Cities of
Pasadena and Arcadia. Arcadia has jurisdiction over the eastern portion of the
intersection with Michillinda Avenue.
The County will administer the project and the City will issue a permit and inspect the
work within the Arcadia City Limits.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project was budgeted in the 2013 -14 Fiscal Year Capital Improvement Program
with a budget of $45,000 from Proposition C funds to cover the City's share. The
County has determined that the City's share of the cost is $113,101. However, the
County has other funding sources that will offset the City's match. The County will
apply $63,705 in grant funds from Metro and $39,396 in County Aid -to-
Cities funding still available to the City from past allocations. The City will only be
responsible for the balance of $10,000.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to
execute an Agreement with the County of Los Angeles for the sharing of cost for the
pavement rehabilitation and traffic signal upgrades on Foothill Boulevard between
Rosemead Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue.
