Linda Culp (SANDAG) stated that the LOSSAN TAC will investigate the issue, and an update will be made at the next LOSSAN Board meeting.

Voting: Yes: SLOCOG, SBCAG, LA Metro 1, LA Metro 2, OCTA 1, OCTA 2, NCTD, MTS, and Caltrans. 5 LOSSAN CORRIDORWIDE STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PRELIMINARY WORK PLAN Ms. Culp gave an overview of the LOSSAN Corridorwide Strategic Implementation Preliminary Work Plan, as called for in the interagency LOSSAN memorandum of understanding (MOU) and as requested as a follow up from the last meeting. This work plan will require a project manager to carry out these objectives in an 18-month timeframe. Caltrans and OCTA are providing in-kind services for the modeling and work, which is now underway. A schedule and budget overview was presented. Ms. Culp noted that per the MOU, the new project manager will need to review this work plan as their first task and return to the LOSSAN Board of Directors for final approval. Julianne Nygaard (NCTD) gave a report on the progress for hiring a LOSSAN project manager. The member agency Chief Executive Officers Steering Committee and the LOSSAN Ad Hoc Committee have been reviewing applications and conducting interviews since March. The ad hoc committee met prior to the LOSSAN Board meeting and requests the LOSSAN Board discuss the project manager search in closed session at the June 23, 2010, meeting. Ms. Nygaard explained that there were 13 applicants, including seven who were interviewed. A motion was made and seconded to schedule a closed session for further discussion on June 23, 2010. Voting: Yes: SLOCOG, SBCAG, LA Metro 1, LA Metro 2, OCTA 1, OCTA 2, NCTD, MTS, and Caltrans. CHSRA UPDATE Valerie Martinez (CHSRA) gave a historical overview of the CHSRA from the agency’s inception to the current planning phase. Funding for the system will come from multiple sources, including the $9 billion Proposition 1A that was passed by voters in 2008; federal sources, including $2.25 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA); and public private partnerships, as mandated in Proposition 1A. Additional federal funding, as well as funding from local sources, will be needed. The LOSSAN Corridor will connect to three high-speed rail corridor sections: Anaheim to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Palmdale, and Los Angeles to San Diego via the Inland Empire. Salud Carbajal (SBCAG) asked if high-speed rail funding was going to Santa Barbara. Ms. Martinez mentioned that there was $950 million for connecting services, including the Pacific Surfliner service in Proposition 1A. Ms Culp then stated that $190 million of the $950 million is available for the three intercity corridors. Of this amount, $47.5 million is allocated to the Surfliner corridor, and another $47.5 million is available for any intercity corridor. She also noted that at their March meeting, the LOSSAN Board approved a support position for a Caltrans request that the majority of these funds be allocated for Positive Train Control (PTC). The California Transportation Commission approved this program at their May meeting. Andy Althorp (CHSRA) then provided an overview of the Palmdale to Los Angeles section where tracks will run north from Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) through the San Fernando Valley. The existing railroad Right-of-Way will be followed through the Valley; however, some sections of the existing track will need to be realigned to one side of the Right-of-Way. The vertical alignment is dependent upon the number of fixed barriers along the way, including airports, freeways, and the 6 Los Angeles River. Station locations also are key challenges throughout the planning process. The CHSRA has narrowed the station options to four locations, but it is possible
