CITY OI: ".100RFARK, iCA LWORNIA City Council Meeting a 000 ACTION: �• 5 /ivCc u��ni� City of Moorpark APoPTIOnl of apze) -,775 AGENDA REPORT BY: (% TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst DATE: August 18,2000 (CC meeting of September 20, 2000) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 2000- , authorizing the City's FY 2000/2001 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 met using TDA funds," the remaining local TDA funds may be used for streets and road related purposes. DISCUSSION The funds are apportioned to the ten cities and the county using a formula based on population. The City's estimated FY 2000/2001 TDA allocation is $801,178. An earlier estimate of $759,809 in TDA revenue was included in the City's 2000/2001 adopted budget. This is the funding source for the City's transit system, including the subsidized taxi service for persons with disabilities. Moorpark Metrolink station expenses and transit planning staff costs are also paid for with TDA revenue. Capital costs, such as buses, are often funded with federal grants. Usually only the local matching funds, typically twenty percent, come from TDA. The TDA Claim as drafted includes funding for the expansion of transit service that recently began. Unspent TDA funds are carried -over from year -to -year within the TDA fund. The carry over from last year is used to reduce the amount of transit funds needed in the current year. After transit expenses are met, the remainder is available for streets and roads. In order 0100094 TDA Staff Report 2000 -2001 CC Meeting of September 20, 2000 Page 2 to qualify for funding, transit projects must recover a set percentage of their expenses from the actual fares paid by the riders. This is called the "farebox ratio." The projects and expenses included in this claim are: Transit TDA Expenditures Item Route Operating Capitalized Expenses Total Carry over 60,000 500,235 60,000 Personnel Costs 37,052 37,052 City Bus Contract 120,000 120,000 Community Promotion 2,000 2,000 Other 1,005 1,005 VISTA -East 11,500 11,500 Paratransit Contract 4,000 4,000 Metrolink Station Maintenance & Security 45,500 45,500 Metrolink Station Repairs 21,000 21,000 Other Capital 1,000 1,000 Carryover Fares Interest Local Match - Metrolink Landscape Grant 18,000 18,000 Cost Plan Allocation (Federal Circular A87) 39,886 39,886 Transit Claim Amount 123,005 177,938 300,943 Streets and Roads TDA Expenditures Various Street and Road Projects 500,235 500,235 I Total TDA Claim I 1 1 801, 178 1 In anticipation of the City's annual TDA allocation, the TDA revenue from this claim and the associated expenditure of funds were included in the FY 2000/2001 budget. A companion budget action is required to adjust the change in revenue. That resolution is part of a separate staff report. The total claim amount matches revenue, but due to differences in methodology, some of breakout of amounts do not exactly match the City expenditure budget. 000095 TDA Staff Report 2000 -2001 TDA Staff Report 2000 -2001 CC Meeting of September 20, 2000 Page 3 RECO14MENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE) Adopt Resolution No. 2000- , authorizing the FY 2000/2001 TDA claim for the City of Moorpark, authorizing the City Manager to sign the claim for submittal to VCTC. x'.30096 TDA Staff Report 2000 -2001 RESOLUTION NO. 2000- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A CLAIM FOR FISCAL YEAR 200012001 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT FUNDS.
