AGENDA REPORT BY'
Honorable City Council
John Brand, Senior Management Analyst�6
DATE: July 29, 2002 (CC meeting of October 2, 2001)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 2002- , Authorizing the
City's FY 2002/2003 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 1/� 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. If
approved, the City would claim its entire apportionment of $928,056
as follows: $425,000 for transit, and $503,056 for streets and
roads.
DISCUSSION
The funds are apportioned to the ten cities and the county using a
formula based on population. The City's FY 2002/2003 TDA
apportionment is $928,056. This amount was included in the City's
Fiscal Year 2002 -2003 budget adopted on June 5, 2002. This year's
TDA apportionment is about $124,241 less than last year, when the
FY 2001/2002 TDA apportionment was $1,052,297. In FY 2000/2001,
the TDA apportionment was $801,178. Economic conditions and
changing consumer spending habits affects the amount of TDA sales
tax revenue that is generated.
TDA revenue is the funding source for the City's transit system,
including the new Senior Dial -A -Ride and the ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) Paratransit Dial -A -Ride that use subsidized

taxicabs as the service provider, as well as the Moorpark City
Transit fixed routes. The Metrolink commuter rail train station
(Moorpark Station) expenses and staff cost for transit planning
efforts by Community Services Department staff are also funded with
TDA revenue. Capital costs, such as buses, are often funded with
federal grants. Usually only the local matching funds (typically
twenty percent) comes from TDA funds. TDA funds the City's share
of the VISTA -East (Ventura Intercity Service Transportation
Authority) regional bus. An annual $400,000 countywide
contribution to Metrolink operating costs is taken "off the top" of
TDA funds prior to apportioning the funds among the county
jurisdictions. Unspent City TDA funds are carried -over from year -
to -year within the individual TDA funds (transit and streets and
roads). The carry over 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 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 2002/2003 budget. At time of budget
preparation, staff estimated that that Transit (8c) would require
$450,000 of the $928,056 total TDA apportionment for the City. By
spending down the carry -over of 8c funds from previous years, staff
recommends that the City reduce its 8c claim to $425,000. This
will afford a $25,000 increase in the 8a Streets and Roads claim
for a revised 8a claim of $503,056 for FY 2002 -2003. The claim can
be considered for approval at this time, and the city budget
adjusted when Council considers the next batch of routine budget
adjustments at mid -year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2002- authorizing the FY 2002/2003 TDA
claim for the City of Moorpark, authorizing the City Manager to
sign the claim for submittal to VCTC.
