•Developers of Spencer Crossing, Whispering Heights, County TMLA, and Liberty High School have each requested cost sharing from the City for the funding of the

traffic signal.
•Cost sharing, or fair share contributions, are paid in instances where required
transportation system improvements are not otherwise funded by TUMF and/or CFD
programs.

are considered temporary improvements. However, Development Impact Fees can
be used to pay for the proposed temporary improvements because they will have a
5 year or greater service life.

Alternative Contributions
Alternative 1
Approve a City of Menifee fair share contribution in the amount of $230,000 to be paid to the
County of Riverside for traffic signal and road improvements at Leon Road (NS) at Scott Road
(EW). Place the intersection improvements (traffic signal and roadway) on the FY 2020/2021 City
CIP and allocate $230,000 from “526 DIF Citywide Circulation”

Menifee. Roadway improvements and traffic signal improvements are both required
intersection improvements.
