MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager
DATE: 07/17/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Adopting a Project List to be Funded by Senate
Bill 1 (SB 1) State Transit Assistance and Authorizing the City Manager
to Execute Application Documents
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, includes funding
for transit services, for which the City of Moorpark (City) is eligible. There are two
formula funding sources: State Transit Assistance (STA) which has previously existed
but has now been augmented with additional funds; and State of Good Repair (SGR),
also an STA funding source. The City submitted a Project List to the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to receive SGR funding in Fiscal Year (FY)
2018/19. The City also submitted a Project List for STA funding to Caltrans, though it
was not specifically required. The City receives the STA and SGR funding through the
Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC).
The 2019 SB 1 SGR Formal Draft Guidelines have been posted to the Caltrans SGR
website. The State Controller’s Office (SCO) is expected to release a revised allocation
estimate for FY 2019/20 in early August. Project Lists for FY 2019/20 are due to
Caltrans by September 1, 2019. One new requirement for FY 2019/20 is that it appears
that the City’s Project List will need to be submitted to Caltrans by VCTC instead of the
City.
In FY 2018/19, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2018-3734, designating that
the FY 2018/19 SGR and STA allocations be spent on improvements to the Moorpark
Metrolink Station and authorized the City Manager to execute all required documents of
the SGR program with Caltrans. It is staff’s understanding that the City will not need to
submit new certifications or an Authorized Agent form as these documents were
executed in FY 2018/19 at the City’s start of the SGR program, with the City Manager
designated as the Authorized Agent.

DISCUSSION
The STA funding can be used for transit agency capital projects and operations.
Operational expenditures would be subject to farebox requirements. The SGR funding
(also from STA) is specifically for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation and capital
projects. Staff is proposing that the FY 2019/20 STA and SGR funding again be used to
fund work at the Metrolink Station, including the North and South Parking Lots. Use of
the funds for these purposes provides necessary maintenance/rehabilitation funding
and avoids farebox ratio requirements that would be applicable to transit operation
services.
Moorpark’s current estimated allocation for FY 2019/20 is $3,715 for SGR funding and
$26,667 for STA funding. Moorpark’s allocation is based on reported “transit revenue
(non-Federal and State)” reported on the prior (from two fiscal years ago) State
Controller Reports (SCR).
As previously mentioned, this year’s requirement is that the City’s Project List be
submitted by VCTC instead of by the City. A new Resolution (attached) has been
drafted approving the FY 2019/20 Project List and also now recognizing that the Project
List will be submitted by VCTC. The Resolution, as drafted, includes a section
authorizing the City Manager to execute all required documents of the SGR program
with Caltrans as well as VCTC. The City will also have to submit a separate claim to
VCTC to receive the SGR and STA funding, similar to last year.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the approval of the Project List. The FY 2019/20 budget
includes $26,700 in State Transit Assistance Fund (2413), with $3,700 designated as
SB-1 SGR Allocation and $23,000 designated as STA-Transit Allocation. The FY
2019/20 SGR funding is proposed to be spent on the Metrolink North Parking Lot
Expansion Project (C0032) and the STA funding is proposed to be spent on the
Metrolink South Parking Lot South Entry Project (C0029). The SGR and STA funding
numbers are still estimates and subject to change.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-____, and authorize the City Manager to submit the Project
List to the Ventura County Transportation Commission or California Department of
Transportation prior to September 1, 2019.
