City Council

8G. Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with North County Transit District (NCTD) for Design of Quiet Zone Improvements. Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. The action authorizes staff to implement an organizational or administrative activity of government that by itself will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Contact Person: Principal Engineer Widelski Recommended Action: 1) Authorize the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, to finalize and execute an MOU with NCTD, in substantial form, and any necessary amendments and time extension for the design of the Quiet Zone Improvements; 2) Direct staff to pay $600,000 to NCTD to fund the Design of Quiet Zone Improvements within 30 days of execution of the MOU; and 3) As design circumstances necessitate, direct staff to pay NCTD additional required Quiet Zone design or design support costs, up to the current balance in Project No. CS23B of approximately $750,000. 2023-03-22 Item 08G MOU for Quiet Zone NCTD Encinitas
