AGENDA REPORT a/'
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Brad Miller, City Engineer �t - AA
DATE: June 22, 2005 (Council Meeting 7 -6 -05)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the FY 2005/06 Budget to
Fund the Casey Road Traffic Signal Modification Project
[Project 8027]
BACKGROUND
• A few years ago, the City and the Moorpark Unified School
District [MUSD] worked with Caltrans to construct a traffic
signal and related improvements at the intersection of Casey
Road and Walnut Canyon Road. All costs for that project were
funded by MUSD and Caltrans.
• During the development of the design for that project staff
requested that the design include a protected phase [left -turn
GREEN ARROW] for the north -to -west traffic movement. That
request was denied.
• Since the construction of the project we have noted that there
is an AM peak hour congestion problem at this intersection
which adversely affects traffic movement on Moorpark Avenue.
The root cause of the problem is the lack of `gaps in the
southbound flow to allow an efficient movement of the left -turn
traffic onto Casey Road.
• On numerous occasions staff has asked Caltrans to modify the
signal to add the left -turn GREEN ARROW. Our requests were
denied because the duration of the congestion problem did not
meet or exceed the Caltrans Warrant for the addition of a
protected (left -turn GREEN ARROW) phase.
• It now appears that, with the preparation of the proper studies
and documentation, Caltrans will issue the City a permit to
allow the City to modify the traffic signal to add the GREEN
ARROW.

DISCUSSION
A. Project Cost
At this time total project costs are difficult to estimate.
Staff is proposing an initial appropriation of $70,000. A more
accurate cost estimate will be provided when the design has
been completed.
B. Project Funding
Attached as Exhibit 1 is a Resolution amending the budget to
appropriate funds and provide a Budget for the subject
project. The recommended funding source for the project is the
Casey / Gabbert AOC Fund, with fifty percent (500) of project
costs to be reimbursed by the MUSD.
The Casey /Gabbert AOC Fund [Fund 2503] does not have
sufficient monies to cover the requested appropriation.
Therefore, the attached Resolution also approves a $50,000
loan from the L A Ave. AOC Fund [Fund 25011 to cover this
appropriation.

Staff is in the process of retaining the services of a
consultant to prepare the traffic analysis and design
documents required by Caltrans. It is anticipated that those
efforts will be completed in about sixty (60) days. At that
time it is presumed that the City would be able to seek and
obtain a Caltrans permit for the project.
D. Construction
It is anticipated that the City will be in a position to seek
Council approval of the plans and specifications and advertise
the project in November. Award of a construction contract
would then come to the City Council in January, with
completion of construction expected in March of 2006.
