Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Chief Administrative Office, Parks Division recommending the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the Fourth Amendment to the Reciprocal Use and Funding Agreement (RUFA) for the Sacramento Placerville Transportation Corridor (SPTC) between the County of El Dorado, County of Sacramento, City of Folsom, the Sacramento Regional Transit District and the Sacramento Placerville Transportation Corridor Joint Power Authority (SPTC-JPA).
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The SPTC-JPA was established by its Member Agencies (County of Sacramento, Regional Transit, County of El Dorado, and City of Folsom) in 1991 to oversee the acquisition and preservation of the Placerville Branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1996, the SPTC-JPA completed the acquisition of 53 miles of railroad right-of way extending from Sacramento to Placerville. The corridor passes through portions of Sacramento County, the City of Folsom, and County of El Dorado. The County of El Dorado's segment extends from the County line (Milepost 119.4) to Forni Road (Milepost 147.6).
In 1996, the SPTC-JPA member agencies executed the Reciprocal Use and Funding Agreement (RUFA) which sets forth the agencies' rights and responsibilities with respect to the acquisition, ownership, use, operation, improvement, maintenance and eventual disposition of the rail corridor. In accordance with the RUFA, the SPTC-JPA holds the title to the rail corridor and each member agency has been granted an easement to use their allocated portion of the corridor. The RUFA also gives the member agencies reciprocal rights to use the rail corridor for its entire length.
Subsequent Amendments to the RUFA were agreed upon, effective September 6, 1996, February 22, 1999 and September 2, 2003 between the agencies that affected the Sacramento Placerville Transportation Corridor (SPTC). This Fourth Amendment addresses the reallocation of portions of SPTC between the County of Sacramento and the City of Folsom. This amendment does not affect the portion of the trail in El Dorado County. Except as expressly amended, all terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
