No . qg - )5 3 SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 98- , authorizing the City's FY 1998/99 Transportation Development Act claim. BACKGROUND Each year the City Council is asked to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a claim 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' /4¢ sales tax that must first be spent on transit projects. After meeting any "unmet transit needs that could be reasonably be met using TDA funds," the remaining local TDA funds may be used for streets and road improvement related projects. The funds are apportioned to the ten Cities and the County using a formula based on population. In recent years, the local Metrolink contribution was apportioned by a formula that also considered station proximity. The Metrolink apportionment is now also based solely on population. This changed after the successful appeal by the City of Moorpark and the City of Simi Valley overturned a controversial amendment in the Metrolink formula. The City's estimated FY 1998/99 TDA allocation is $653,201. These funds are included in the City's 1998/99 adopted budget, except for the additional $13,898 the City of Moorpark will receive as a result of the Metrolink formula appeal. Staff will prepare a budget amendment request for consideration at an upcoming Council meeting for that revenue adjustment, as well as for the bike rack and bus enhancement expenditures included in this claim. If approved, the bike racks will be placed on the front of the bus and at City Hall. The bus enhancements are for features not included in the original specifications such as a stop pull cord and bell, bike rack, and communications radios.
