CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: May 1, 2012
Subject
A Resolution of the City of Cupertino City Council Authorizing an Agreement Between the City
of Cupertino and the City of Sunnyvale Respecting the Operation and Sharing of Costs Pertaining to
Traffic Signals in the Vicinity of Homestead Road.
Recommended Action
Approve Resolution No. 12-
Discussion
The City boundary between Cupertino and Sunnyvale runs roughly along the centerline of
Homestead Road between Barranca Drive/Belleville Way, west of Highway 85, to Swallow
Drive, east of Tantau Avenue. Along this segment are fourteen traffic signals. Seven of these
traffic signals are operated and maintained by the City of Sunnyvale, one by Caltrans and six by
the City of Cupertino under past written agreements from 1980, 1991 and 2001.
The cites of Cupertino and Sunnyvale mutually desire to supersede all previous written
agreements and replace these with a single written agreement incorporating the thirteen traffic
signals owned and operated by the two jurisdictions (Caltrans-owned signal excluded). Under
the new agreement, the City of Sunnyvale will operate and maintain all traffic signals west of
and including Stelling Road/Hollenbeck Avenue (excluding Caltrans-owned signal at Maxine
Ave/Highway 85) and the City of Cupertino will operate and maintain all traffic signals east of
and including Franco Court. The purpose for grouping the traffic signals in this manner is to
facilitate traffic flow along the corridor by having only one jurisdiction responsible for all signals
in a consecutive group.
As a result of the new agreement, the City of Cupertino will take over operation and maintenance
responsibilities from Sunnyvale for the Homestead Road/Heron Avenue traffic signal. The
operation and maintenance responsibilities for all other signals will remain the same. The City of
Sunnyvale will be taking the Agreement to their City Council in the near future, subsequent to
Cupertino's approval of the Agreement.
Fiscal Impact
The cost for operating and maintaining traffic signals is incorporated into the Public Works
operating budget. The City of Cupertino currently operates and maintains 55 traffic signals. The
total will increase to 56 upon execution of this agreement. No significant fiscal impact is
expected to result from this change.
