SUBJECT: Consider Resolution 97 - Approving a Budget Amendment to Fund the
Construction of Improvements at the Intersection of Moorpark Road and
Tierra Rejada Road.
PAVIN
In April 1996 the City completed a project for the installation of a traffic signal at the
subject intersection. The design for that traffic signal provides for a
permissive/restrictive left turn phase for west -to -south left turners. As you may know,
such a design provides for a restricted left turn phase (left green arrow), followed by
permissive left turns on a GREEN light (green hall) as gaps in the traffic allow.
2. In October 1996 the City Council directed the City 'Traffic Engineer to perform a traffic
study at this intersection for the purpose of identifying any desirable safety
improvements. One possible outcome of that study would be the elimination of the
permissive /restrictive left turn phase, with left turns restricted to a GREEN ARROW
only.
3. On January 15, 1997, the City Council directed the City Engineer to proceed with the
preparation of a design to construct certain modifications to the intersection to improve
traffic safety.

When the design is completed it is the intent of staff to present this project to the
County of Ventura with a request that they fund one -third (1/3) of the costs. If
approved the estimated net cost to the City is as follows:
Total Cost: $18,000
Less County Share: $ 6,000
Net City Share: $12,000
C. Budget Amendment
The construction of the traffic signal at the subject intersection was funded by the
Spring Road / Tierra Rejada Road AOC. It is recommended, therefore, that these
improvements also be funded from that source. A summary of the amendment to the
budget appropriations and the Budget to fund this project is summarized as follows:
