The State Department of Transportation (Ca.l_tr.ans) entered into agreement
November_ 30, 1.971 with the County of Ventura to complete the connection, of
Highway 23 and Highway 118. Now that the City is incorporated, Caltrans
has asked -the City to enter into an. agreement with them allowiing Caltrans
to proceed with this project.
The Staff has reviewed the Freeway Agreement presented by the State and
has had several questions with regard to the details of the project and
the elements of the agreement. Some of these concerns were raised in a
letter to the project engineer dated Clay 1.7, 1989. Caltrans has responded
to some of those questions by letter, however_ they have indicated an
unwillingness to amend the agreement to make it more specific. Both Bob
Wallin, Project Engineer and Jack Ha.l.l.in, Chief Engineer of District-, 7
Branch. C of Caltrans have indicated ghat; the Freeway Agreement language is
intended to be generic and cannot: be changc,d without causing a delay in
the project. They have both expressed a willingness to work out the
specifics and details of the pro ;ject using further memorandums of
agreement between the City of Moorpark and Calt.raris.
Our Attorney has reviewed the Freeway Agreement and has indicated some
concern with regard to the acquisition and c.onst:ruct:i_on time frames not.
being specifically addressed. The City Attorney has recommended that we
negotiate an acquisition/construction schedule with the State and that:
this schedule be incorporated :into tbo agreement.

r Page 2
Caltrans requires adoption of the Freeway Agreement by resolution
authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement. The attached resolution
fulfills that requirement and goes further to indicate our intention to
approve the agreement based on the understanding that a subsequent
acquisition /construction schedule addressing the details of design and
coordination of construction will be developed between Caltrans and the
City of Moorpark.
Recommendation:
Staff continues to have reservations about the lack of specificity in the
generic Freeway Agreement. Direct Staff as deemed appropriate.
