AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director
Prepared by: Shaun Kroes, Senior Management Analy
DATE: August 21, 2015 (CC meeting of 09/02/2015)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City's Fiscal Year 2015/16
Transportation Development Act Claim
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider authorizing the submittal of the Fiscal Year
(FY) 2015/16 Transportation Development Act (TDA) claim, in the amount of
$1,246,801.00.
BACKGROUND
Each year the City Council is asked to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
submit a claim for the City's TDA funds. The City is required to file this claim annually in
order to receive the funds. TDA revenue is generated from a 1/4 cent of the 7.50-cent retail
sales tax, and the revenue received 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 roads related purposes. If approved, the City
would claim its entire $1,246,801.00 apportionment. This is $20,801.00 more than the
currently adopted FY 2015/16 budget of$1,226,000.00. The additional funding will go to
streets and roads.
DISCUSSION
TDA funds are apportioned to the ten Ventura County cities and the County using a
formula based on population. The City's FY 2015/16 TDA apportionment is$1,246,801.00.
This is a decrease of 6.43% compared to the City's FY 2014/15 apportionment of
$1,332,542.00. The FY 2014/15 final apportionment of$1,332,542.00 was due to revised

FY 2014/15 revenue estimates from the Ventura County Auditor-Controller as well as an
early fund balance release from the Ventura County Transportation Commission. At this
time, it is not expected that FY 2015/16 TDA funds will be adjusted as they were in FY
2014/15.
TDA revenue has traditionally been the primary funding source for the City's transit system,
including the Fixed Route bus service, Senior Dial-A-Ride and the Americans with
Disabilities Act(ADA) Paratransit Dial-A-Ride, and other transit improvements such as bus
shelters. Transit planning efforts by Public Works staff are also funded with TDA revenue.
Major capital costs, such as buses, are often funded with federal grants. The City also
receives federal funding for bus preventive maintenance and paratransit preventive
maintenance/vehicle leases. In those cases, the local matching funds (typically twenty
percent) come from TDA funds. The City also receives federal funding for bus operations.
After the City's transit(8C) related expenses are met, the remainder is available for streets
and roads (8A). Staff proposes that the City's FY 2015/16 claim include $535,000.00 for
Local Transit Programs 8C Fund (5000)and $711,801.00 for Local Transportation 8A Fund
(2603). The claim is $20,801.00 more than the City's FY 2015/16 budget, with Fund 2603
receiving the additional $20,801.00.
The FY 2015/16 budget includes $400,000.00 in Traffic Systems Management Fund
(2001) to fund the operation and fueling of the City's compressed natural gas (CNG)
buses. The use of Fund 2001 enables additional TDA funds to be spent on streets and
roads projects.
Staff has reviewed the potential impacts that the proposed revenue allocations will have on
Fund 2603 and Fund 5000. Each fund should remain with sufficient funds to continue its
respective budgeted expenses. Adjustments to the FY 2015/16 budget are proposed to be
made during the FY 2015/16 Mid-Year Budget Adjustment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2015/16 TDA Allocation will provide the City with $1,246,801.00. Streets and
Roads, Fund 2603, will receive $711,801.00 and transit, Fund 5000 will receive
$535,000.00.
