TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager �)'
DATE: May 8, 2011 (CC Meeting of 5/18/11)
SUBJECT: Consider Revising the Design of the Second Metrolink Access
BACKGROUND
On July 1, 2009, the City Council considered three alternative locations for the proposed
second Metrolink access. After reviewing all alternative locations, the Council adopted
a mitigated negative declaration and directed staff to proceed with the design of the
second Metrolink access to be located at 49 First and 65 First Street. Staff proceeded
with the conceptual design and began the acquisition process utilizing funds from the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Agency"). Staff hired CVE
Engineering ("CVE") to design the second Metrolink access to include two travel lanes
separated by a landscaped median. Bike lanes are to be located on both sides of the
travel lanes with landscaping on both sides of the entrance and 12 parking stalls located
on the western side of the property. Exhibit A shows the conceptual design of the
second Metrolink Access.
The State of California required Agency funds to be shifted to the Special Education
Revenue Augmentation Fund ("SERAF") in order to balance its budget. In fiscal year
2009/2010, the Agency paid $1.9 million and is scheduled to pay $396,000.00 in fiscal
year 2010/2011 into SERAF. Agency funds are no longer available for the proposed
second Metrolink access. On June 2, 2010, the City Council allocated Traffic System
Management funds to replace the Agency funding.
DISCUSSION
Staff contacted the owners of 49 First and 65 First Street to start the acquisition
process. The owner of 65 First Street was willing to sell the property for a reasonable
price. Staff acquired the property and is in the process of relocating the tenants. The
owner of 49 First Street is not interested in selling the property for a reasonable amount.

Staff is recommending the City Council direct staff to redesign the proposed second
Metrolink access to be constructed on 65 First Street. This reduction in the available
property will reduce the project size from 100' to 50' in width. The chart below shows
the reductions to the project:

FISCAL IMPACT
If the second Metrolink access is redesigned, the City will need to amend the agreement
with CVE. Staff estimates the cost to redesign the project to be $4,000.00.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to redesign the proposed second Metrolink access to be constructed on 65
First Street with the possibility of expanding the access onto 49 First Street should the
property become available for purchase.
