M . City Council Staff Report September 8, 2010- Page 2 Program Supplement Agreement No. 033-N STAFF ANALYSIS: On February 9, 2009, Michael Hammond, Executive Director of the the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum ("ACCM"), submitted a letter to the City Manager requesting that the City help facilitate the ACCM's obligation and use of two federal grants related to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians future cultural museum. The ACCM was successful in lobbying for two separate federal grants that total approximately $1 Million to be used for design related work, including planning and engineering of roadway and interpretive signage, road and signage improvements, drainage, vehicular parking areas, and appurtenant structures and facilities. The cultural museum will be constructed at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive. Federal grants are distributed to each state via the state's Department of Transportation; in California the funds are distributed to Caltrans. Each recipient of a federal grant must have an agreement with Caltrans related to the use of federal funds. Typical recipients of federal grants are local governments, cities, counties, and metropolitan planning organizations (Le. RCTC, CVAG, etc.). In attempting to obtain the federal funds allocated to the ACCM, the ACCM was prevented from directly seeking those funds as the ACCM is not a typical agency with which Caltrans directly interacts. Caltrans directed the ACCM to seek the assistance of a public agency that has experience coordinating the use of federal funds, to obligate the federal funds on its behalf. Therefore, pursuant to the ACCM's request, on April 15, 2009, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the ACCM related to the City's assistance and administration of the ALCM's federal funds on its behalf. Subsequently, the Public Works and Engineering Department coordinated with Caltrans and successfully obligated the federal funds for one of the two federal earmarks awarded to the ACCM. The City operates under a "Master Agreement" with the state of California, identified as the "Administering Agency — State Agreement No. 08-5282R" for use of federal funds on City projects. The Master Agreement is amended by each successive use of federal funds on a project, and upon the first "authorization" or obligation of the use of federal funds on a project, the City is provided with a "Program Supplement Agreement", or amendment, to the Master Agreement. In light of the City's authorization to proceed with the preliminary engineering phase of this project using HPLUL federal funds, Caltrans has submitted to the City for approval Program Supplement Agreement No. 033-N, which will facilitate the City's use of federal funds for this project. City Council Staff Report September 8, 2010 - Page 3 Program Supplement Agreement No. 033-N FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of Program Supplement Agreement No. 033-N with Caltrans will formally authorize the disbursement and use of up to $50,000 in federal-aid funds for the design phase of the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum Roadway Improvements (City Project 09- 04), Federal Aid Project No. HPLUL-5282(033).
