Consider Resolution Authorizing the City of Moorpark’s Fiscal Year 2018/19 Transportation Development Act Claim. Staff Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2018-____, authorizing the submittal of City’s Transportation Development Act Claim. Item: 10.E. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager DATE: 9/19/2018 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City of Moorpark’s Fiscal Year 2018/19 Transportation Development Act Claim BACKGROUND Each year the City Council is asked to approve a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to submit a claim (Attachment 2) for the City’s Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. The City is required to file this claim annually in order to receive the funds. TDA revenue is generated from a ¼ cent of the 7.25-cent retail sales tax, and the revenue received must first be spent on transit projects. After meeting any “unmet transit needs that could be reasonably met using TDA funds,” the remaining local TDA funds may be used for streets and roads related purposes. If approved, the City would claim its entire $1,283,811 apportionment. This is $13,194 more than the currently adopted FY 2018/19 budget of $1,270,617. The reason for the difference is at the time that the City’s budget was adopted only an estimated apportionment for FY 2018/19 was available. The additional funding will go to streets and roads. DISCUSSION TDA funds are apportioned to the ten Ventura County cities and the County using a formula based on population. The City’s FY 2018/19 TDA apportionment is $1,283,811. This is 3.3% more than the City’s FY 2017/18 apportionment of $1,242,692. TDA revenue has traditionally been the primary funding source for the City’s transit system, including the Fixed Route bus service, Senior Dial-A-Ride and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit Dial-A-Ride, and maintenance of the Amtrak/Metrolink Train Station. Transit planning efforts by Public Works staff are also funded with TDA revenue. Major capital costs, such as buses, are often funded with Item: 10.E. 129 Honorable City Council 9/19/2018 Regular Meeting Page 2 federal grants. The City also receives federal funding for bus operations, capital maintenance and paratransit services. After the City’s transit (8C) related expenses are met, the remainder is available for streets and roads (8A). Staff proposes that the City’s FY 2018/19 claim include $680,000 for Local Transit Programs 8C Fund (2414) and $603,811 for Local Transportation 8A Fund (2412). The claim is $13,194 more than the City’s FY 2018/19 budget. The claim’s differences from the City’s FY 2018/19 budget are shown below: Local Transit Programs – 8C FY 18/19 Adopted Revenue Local Transit Programs – 8C FY 18/19 Revenue (Proposed) Difference $680,000 $680,000 ($0.00) Streets/Roads – 8A FY 18/19 Adopted Revenue Streets/Roads – 8A FY 18/19 Revenue (Proposed) Difference $590,617 $603,811 $13,194 The FY 2018/19 budget includes $229,659 in Traffic Systems Management Fund (2001) to fund the operation and fueling of the City’s buses. The use of Fund 2001 enables additional TDA funds to be spent on streets and roads projects and helps the City achieve farebox ratio requirements. Staff has reviewed the potential impacts that the proposed revenue allocations will have on Fund 2412 and Fund 2414. Each fund should remain with sufficient funds to continue its respective budgeted expenses. FISCAL IMPACT The City will receive $1,283,811 for FY 2018/19. Streets and Roads, Fund 2412, will receive $603,811 and Transit, Fund 2414 will receive $680,000.
