DATE: June 26, 1990 (City Council Meeting 7-11-90) SUBJECT: Consider Request for Contribution to Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) The Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) transmitted a request from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) asking each of the cities to contribute one-half of one percent (.5%) of their Local Transportation Fund (LTF). SCAG uses these funds for planning activities that assist Ventura County. Attached is a copy of SCAG's May 27, 1990 letter to VCTC which was transmitted to Moorpark on June 22, 1990. In the past, the City has not contributed to SCAG and, with the establishment of VCTC and our contribution of LTF Funds to support that entity, I do not recommend contributing to SCAG's planning activities. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Decline requested contribution to SCAG.

Attached is a description of the SCAG Overall Work Program planning activities that facilitate planning in Ventura County. It would be helpful for you to request that each city and the county submit to SCAG a commitment to contribute this voluntary contribution for SCAG's planning. This contribution amounts to one-half of one percent (.5%) of the Local Transportation Funds (LTF) apportioned to the cities and unincorporated county area. The amount totals S81,530 countywide for fiscal year 1990/91, based on the LTF apportionm;nts approved by SCAG's Executive Committee in March 1990. SCAG is currently in the process of finalizing its Overall Glork Program for fiscal year 1990/91 and we would like to program these funds. The establishment of the Ventura County Transportation Commission will create a more effective planning process in your county, and SCAG looks forward to working with you in your efforts. an.. l.n•.nonm`•"` Thank you for Rab rt\\'a,ncr,CCnunr•ilu+e.nbe, any questions, C hair.

SCAG develops and maintains a data base for each County. The data base includes population, housing, employment, income, workers, vehicles, travel data estimates and projections by census tracts, transportation analysis zone, subregions and city. This data is used by the planning departments of local governments, by utilities, the State and Federal agencies. 2. SCAG has prepared, with Ventura County input, regional mobility and growth management plans. These plans contain strategies that Ventura local governments, the County Transportation Commission and other agencies use in developing local plans consistent with both regional policies and local objectives. SCAG provides on -going technical assistance to local governments on how to implement the policies. 3. SCAG prepared for the City of Thousand Oaks a prototype transportation model for local governments to use in assessing the impact of proposed projects. This model is consistent with the regional transportation model, is used on a personal computer, and is "user friendly". e. SCAG prepared and maintains a housing needs assessment which must be used by local governments in preparing housing elements for the General Plan updates. 5. SCAG is working with the local governments in the Port Hueneme area to implement the Port of Hueneme Access Study. This effort is providing current data on the three highway major access corridors to the Port and will be used by the local jurisdictions and the County Transportation Commission in planning and advocating transportation improvements to improve Port access. 6. Each year SCAG prepares, in conjunction with County Transportation Commissions, a Regional Transportation Improvement Program which includes local transportation projects proposed for Federal and State funding over the subsequent five years. SCAG evaluates the projects for consistency to regional policies and submits the program to the State for inclusion in the State Transportation Improvement Program. Local transportation projects must be included in the Regional TIP in order to qualify for Federal and State funding. 7. Under State law, SCAG is responsible for convening local interests and agencies to review proposals for High Occupancy Lanes on freeways. Comments and recommendations are provided by SCAG to the State as a result of this process. 8. SCAG is designated by the State as the Intergovernmental Plan and Project Review Clearinghouse 'Local applicants for Federal and State grants must submit their proposals to SCAG for review relative to regional plan consistency and compatibility. SCAG submits its reports and findings to the State Office of Planning and Research. In addition, SCAG reviews projects voluntarily submitted to the clearinghouse and assists grant applications in preparing funding proposals. 9. As part of SCAG's regional commuter rail planning programming, working with Ventura County governments, helped to establish secure funding and is assisting in the implementation of intercity and commuter rail between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. SCAG is continuing to work with local governments in examining the potential for railroad right-of-way use for transportation purposes, helping to determine additional candidate routes and developing funding mechanisms for the regional commuter rail network. 10. Once a year, SCAG is required to provide a report to the Federal Highway Administration on the condition of the region's road system. The data is submitted by the local governments, and then collated, synthesized and summarized by SCAG into a comprehensive report. The report is used by the Federal government in developing plans and budgets for future highway financing. 11. SCAG will be developing analytical tools including transportation models for counties and local agencies to use in meeting requirements under the State's Transportation Congestion Management program.
