Proposed Traffic Modeler Position
Attached is an interoffice memorandum and other support documentation relating to a
proposed Traffic Modeler position in the Traffic Engineering Division of the City's Public
Works Department.
The attached memorandum states in pertinent part,
"In order for the City to come into compliance with the
Congestion Management Plan and Transportation Control
Measures programs, it is necessary to develop a traffic model
for the City and surrounding areas. This model must be
compatible with the RivSan model and SCAG model as well.
The model will forecast traffic impacts of development and
insure compliance with AQMD regulations and continued
funding."
The memorandum also goes on to state,
"It would be useful to your department to offer developers a
traffic model, demonstrate (before development) that traffic
concerns or AQMD concerns will not side track a
development somewhere along the way. Provide forecast to
total traffic adjacent to proposed developments for any given
year based on the City General plan development and
perhaps even complete minor traffic reports for the smaller
projects."
The Department of Public Works proposes that because of anticipated benefit to Agency-
sponsored development projects, the Agency fund 50% of the proposed position at a not-to-
exceed amount of $26,000.
Because work on the traffic demand model is proceeding apace and efforts are being made to
solicit the support of surrounding jurisdictions, it is appropriate for the Commission to
consider this matter at the present time.

On January 27, 1994, the Redevelopment Committee took action voting 2-1 (Hernandez) to
recommend approval of this item. Based on Councilman Hernandez' recommendation, the
Committee instructed Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow to research the legality of using
redevelopment funds for this purpose. This has been accomplished and Mr. Barlow advises
the proposed use of funds complies with redevelopment law in general and AB 1290 in
particular.
As staff concurs in the assessment of benefit to Agency-sponsored programs, projects and
activities, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PUBLIC WORKS/ENGINEERING
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Ken Henderson, Executive Director/Development
FROM: Gene R. Klatt, Assistant City Engineer
SUBJECT: Funding of Position of Traffic Modeler
DATE: October 20, 1993
COPIES: Anwar Wagdy, 6.44-5
In order for the City to come into compliance with the Congestion
Management Plan and Transportation Control Measures programs, it
is necessary to develop a traffic model for the City and
surrounding areas. This model must be compatible with the RivSan
model and SCAG model as well. The model will forecast traffic
impacts of development and insure compliance with AQMD
regulations and continued funding.
When this was first discussed, our department contacted EDA to
see if they would like to participate in the program.
Specifically, not in the model development but in the funding of
a full time position to run the model and maintain the data. It
was our understanding that indeed, EDA saw benefit in such a
position. It would be useful to your department to offer
developers a traffic model, demonstrate (before development) that
traffic concerns or AQMD concerns will not side track a
development somewhere along the way. Provide forecast to total
traffic adjacent to proposed developments for any given year
based on the City General plan development and perhaps even
complete minor traffic reports for the smaller projects.
We have proposed this position along with the model, but we
understand that you have not provided funding in your budget. We
anticipate the position to be in the $45, 000.00 to $52, 000. 00 per
year range. We originally talked about 50% funding from EDA with
the rest made up of Traffic Systems and outside developers. This
would place your funding level at a maximum of $26, 000. 00 per
year.
As an example of the potential uses, the Caltrans building needs
a traffic study. If the model were developed, data could be
given to staff for a run on the model and this information
supplied to your selected traffic consultant for inclusion into
the traffic report. This one run along could reduce your costs

for the report by $8, 000. 00 to $10, 000. 00. Additionally, the
model could predict traffic needs on the street system within
project areas based on proposed developments. This could be
useful in forecasting the needs for infrastructure before or
along with the proposed development and for controlling the
expenditure of project area funds on the most needed sections of
roadway.
We would appreciate your consideration of funding 50% of the
position as this seems to represent an equal amount of area
within the community that is controlled by EDA. It also
represents your anticipated usage of the model for forecasts and
marketing needs.
Should you have questions or need additional information, please
contact our office.
