STREET CUT MORATORIUM
In accordance with the City Municipal Code Section 14.01.540(c), “Moratorium on Newly Paved Streets,” The City does not allow street cuts on streets that have been newly paved or resurfaced for a period of five (5) years unless an emergency to public health and safety exists. If a street with a moratorium is cut for any reason, the required asphalt repairs will be per the City Engineer. In most cases, the street will need to be entirely resurfaced with a minimum two (2) inch overlay from curb to curb in the area of work. In streets where a moratorium exists, the City Engineer may allow tunneling as an alternative to street cuts as long as there is enough space outside the paved surface to accommodate the tunneling operation. Tunneling will not be allowed in a street where a moratorium exists if the asphalt concrete pavement surface will be impacted. All damage caused during the work shall be repaired in kind within five (5) working days from the completion of the work.

PRIMARY CIP REVENUE SOURCES
AB2766 Fund – Authorized by the State, fees are imposed on motor vehicles by the air pollution control districts. The fees are collected by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and distributed to local agencies by the South Coast Air Quality Management District to be used for the projects which improve air quality.
Arterial Highway Rehabilitation Program (AHRP) – The Measure M Arterial Highway Rehabilitation Program (AHRP) helps improve pavement condition in Orange County. Specifically, the AHRP is designed to fund pavement rehabilitation projects on arterial roadways throughout Orange County.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) - The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is a $787 billion economic stimulus package signed into law by President Barack Obama on Feb. 17, 2009. A percentage of the package targets spending (contracts, grants, and loans) and the rest includes tax cuts and entitlements such as Medicaid and Social Security Administration payments.
Coastal Area Road Improvements and Traffic Signals (CARITS) Fees - The CARITS Fee Program will finance the construction of roadway gaps, intersection improvements and traffic signals within the coastal area circulation system of the County. The road improvements to be funded by this program are identified in the South County Road Improvement Action Plan.
General Fund – The capital budget is often supported by the transfer of unencumbered monies from the City’s General Fund. However, accurate project cost forecasting is difficult and dependent on the City’s future year ability to match costs with revenues. As such, general purpose funds may be used to finance any capital project.
GMA 11 – These are County Measure M funds set aside for regional projects within the City’s Growth Management Areas (GMA). The County of Orange is divided into eleven GMA’s and the City of Dana Point is a member of GMA #11, along with the cities of San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. Each year, the GMA #11 cities approve a list of projects to be funded by the yearly allocation of GMA funds established by OCTA.
Intersection Improvement Program (IIP) – Measure M Intersection Improvement Program provides funds for many of Orange County’s most congested intersections. Funding is made available for general intersection improvements, such as widening, lane striping, and aesthetic improvements.
Measure M Fund - Measure M, the Revised Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Ordinance for Orange County, provides for the collection of one-half (1/2) percent retail transactions sales tax to fund Transportation Improvement Programs County-wide.
Park Development Fees – Fee required of a developer/builder for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing future park and recreation improvements.
State Highway User's (Gasoline) Taxes - Under Sections 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code, cities are allocated a share of the revenues derived from the state taxes on gasoline. These revenues are restricted in their use to the construction, improvement and maintenance of public streets.
Traffic Signal Fees - Fees required of a developer/builder for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing future traffic signalization improvements in the vicinity of the development/building. These funds may be used only for the construction or reimbursement for construction of traffic signals within the area from which the fees comprising the fund were collected. Interest accruing from these funds can be used anywhere within the City.
