In order to implement the Federal Aid Urban Program, a cooperative process
has been established. On April 9, 1974, the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Kern established a Federal Aid Urban Comm~!ttee and accepted the role as
"Lead Agency."
The Federal Aid Urban Committee has established the following procedures
formulating its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
Each agency is to have only one vote.
Only the jurisdiction involved will vote on an issue.
Minority reports and appeals may be made to those agencies who
review or approve the Committee 's recommendation.
The =process" which is recommended follows:
1. FAU System - Portions of the Arterial and Collector system of
the Functional Classification System, within present urban limits,
were adopted as the FAU System.
Project Selection Basis - The following items were approved as a
'basis for establishing priorities:
State of readiness
Travel volume
Benefit to travelling public
Benefits vs. costs
Deficiency of existing system
The Program and/or Process will be subject to review and update
as warranted due to changes in cost estimates or other requirements.
All funds, including those generated by the Naval Weapons Center and
Edwards Air Force Base are to be distributed to eligible urban area
on the basis of current population, and that the population of Ridge-
Crest be the sum of the population within the urban area outside of
'the Naval Weapons Center plus one-half the population within the
urban area and within the Naval Weapons Center.
- This process has' involved all cities within urban or urbanized areas, as
defined by the Federal Government, the County of Kern, the Golden Empire Transit
District (Bakersfield Area) and the two districts of the State Department of
Transportation. Although unanimous action has not been achieved on each action,
all agencies have participated cooperatively in making these recommendations.
'~ In the Bakersfield Urbanized Area, this Process and Program must be approved
by the City of Bakersfield and Kern County Council of Governments.
After approval of the "Process and Program" by the Board of Supervisors
Of the County of Kern, it will be forwarded for approval to the State Transpor-
tation Director, for review to the State Transportation Board, and approval by
the California Highway Commission.
