Senior Engineer
SUBJECT: Proposition 116 Certification
_____________
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to adopt the Resolution certifying that no additional state funding shall be requested
associated with hazardous waste removal as part of construction of the Highway 9 Safety

REPORT SUMMARY:
The City applied for and received $460,851 in Proposition 116 Bond Funds under the Clean Air and
Transportation Improvement Bond Act of 1990, for the Highway 9 Safety Improvement Project, Phase
III. This project phase includes safety improvements at the Highway 9 and Austin Way intersection, as
well as installation of bicycle loops at all signalized intersections on Highway 9 (Saratoga-Los Gatos
Road).
The California Transportation Commission (CTC) approved the allocation of funds to the Saratoga
project at its June 30/July 1, 2010 meeting. Prior to execution of a Fund Transfer Agreement, the CTC
requires the City to adopt a resolution stating that no additional state funds will be requested for clean-
up, damages, or liability associated with hazardous wastes on or below the project site.
The City has conducted an Initial Study/Negative Declaration as required by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and concluded that the project site does not lie within or adjacent to
a hazardous materials site.
It is therefore recommended that the Council adopt the attached Resolution certifying that no
additional state funds associated with hazardous waste removal shall be requested for this
Project.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no costs associated with adopting the attached Resolution.
