SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Palo Alto finds
and determines as follows:
A. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of Article III of
the Charter of the City of Palo Alto, the Council on June 20, 2005
did adopt a budget for fiscal year 2005-06; and
B. The City Council, in January 2004, approved the
Charleston Arastradero Corridor Improvement Plan (the
"Plan")consisting of visual frontage improvements (lighting,
signage, speed advisory signs), infrastructure improvements
(traffic adaptive signal technology, medians, lane reductions,
and intersection reconfigurations, lighted crosswalks, vegetation
islands, continuous bike lanes, colored asphalt bike lanes,
pedestrian bulbouts) and city transit service improvements; and
C. The City Council also approved a phasing plan to
implement the Plan calling first for installation of the Gunn High
School/Arastradero intersection improvements ("Gunn/Arastradero
Intersection Improvements") and a demonstration trial of the lane
reconfigurations described in the Plan ("Trial Project"); and
D. The City Council of the City of Palo Alto did adopt in
fiscal year 2005-06 CIP Project Number PL-05002,
Charleston/Arastradero Corridor Plan (including the Trial Project
and the Gunn/Arastradero Intersection Improvements) with initial
funding of $100,000 from an unidentified source; and
E. Subsequently, in September 2005, the City Council adopted
the Charleston Arastradero Corridor Pedestrian and Bicyclist
Safety Impact Fee (the "Fee"), to ensure that new development
within the Corridor funds it share of the bicycle and pedestrian
safety improvements to the Corridor as described in the Plan,
including the Trial Project. The Gunn/Arastradero Intersection
Improvements are capacity improvements and are not included in the
improvements to be funded by the Fee; and
F. The estimated cost to implement the Trial Project and the
Gunn/Arastradero Intersection Improvements is $1,065,000; and
G. An additional appropriation of $965,000 is needed for CIP
Project Number PL-05002 to complete the Trial Project (estimated at
$375,000) and the Gunn/Arastradero Intersection Improvements
(estimated at $690,000); and
H. Funding of $1,065,000 for CIP Project Number PL-05002 will

Fund in the amount of $690,000 for the Gunn/Arastradero
Intersection Improvements and from the Charleston Arastradero
Corridor Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Impact Fee in the amount

I. Although $600,000 in Fee revenues are estimated to be
collected in the next two years, currently funding from the
Charleston Arastradero Corridor Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety
Impact Fee is not available. Therefore, the Infrastructure
Reserve, if necessary, will temporarily provide funding for the
Trial Project portion of CIP PL-05002 in an amount not to exceed
$375,000 and reimbursements will be made to the Infrastructure
Reserve as Fee revenues are received; and
J. The additional appropriation of funds is for one-time
expenditures and if future year ongoing costs are needed they will
be included in the operating budget; and
