F. RESOLUTION: Adoption of Amended 2017 -22 Transportation Improvement Plan February 21, 2017
Business
Mr. Perez stated that staff doesn't ordinarily amend the Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) mid -year, but the city received two grants for projects that
were not on the current TIP. In order to move forward with design on the projects
and to utilize the grant funds, they must be added to the TIP. Housekeeping items
are also included in this amendment. Mr. Perez mentioned two projects were
completed and will be removed from the TIP as well as one project that will be
removed because it was contingent on grant funds that were not awarded. He

include the south end of the City. The TIP needs to be modified to include the
change in scope of work for that project. He provided detailed information about
