Subject: CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ( CMP )

Initiated by staff

Purpose: Adopt resolution certifying compliance with CMP pursuant to California Government Code Section 65089

Recommendation: Adopt the attached resolution certifying compliance with Congestion Management Program.

Background: In 1990 the electorate adopted Proposition 111. As a result every city must provide annual documentation that it is in compliance with the State mandated program which provides a link between development, transportation and air quality through trip reduction and transportation measures.

Analysis: Using the mathematical formulas provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, staff has prepared the Local Implementation Report (LIR) which indicates that the City is in compliance with State requirements (see attached report). The City had a total of 10,531 credits; after subtracting the debits as result of a small amount of development in the year 96-97, a total of 10,141 remain. Thus, at this time no transportation or traffic improvement measures will be necessary.
