County requested the California Department of Transportation (“Department”), to
initiate relinquishment proceedings in accordance to AB 218 (2015); and
WHEREAS,upon relinquishment, intervention between Lake Elsinore and the County will
be required to offset an asymmetrical jurisdictional boundary disparity that will be

realignment completed in 2006; and
WHERAS, approval of joint relinquishment by the CTC as authorized by AB 1915 (2008)
and AB 218 (2015), will facilitate the post-relinquishment R/W conveyance between the

relinquishment agreement may commence immediately; and
