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

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:

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.
