CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA
City Council Meeting

ACTION:
MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: September 3, 2004 (CC meeting of September 15, 2004)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City's FY 2004/2005
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. If
approved, the City would claim its entire $1,095,693 apportionment.
DISCUSSION
The funds are apportioned to the ten cities and the county using a
formula based on population. The City's FY 2004/2005 TDA
apportionment is $1,095,693. This year's TDA apportionment is
$27,315 less than last year, when the City's FY 2003/2004 TDA
apportionment was $1,123,008. Economic conditions and changing
consumer spending habits affect the amount of TDA sales tax revenue
that is generated.
TDA revenue is the funding source for the City's transit system,
including the Senior Dial -A -Ride and the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit Dial -A -Ride, as well as the
Moorpark City Transit fixed routes. Transit planning efforts by
Community Services Department staff is 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, as are
funds for the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC).
After transit expenses are met, the remainder is available for
streets and roads. Consistent with the Fiscal Year 2004 -2005
adopted budget it is proposed that $617,632 be claimed for Transit,
leaving $478,061 to be claimed for Streets & 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 2004/2005 budget. At the time of budget
preparation, staff estimated that apportionment would be
$1,099,779, a difference of $4,086. The claim can be considered for
approval at this time, and the revenue budget adjustment will be
made when the Council considers the midyear budget adjustment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2004- , authorizing the City Manager to
sign the Fiscal Year 2004 -2005 TDA Claim on behalf of the City for
submittal to VCTC.
