Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director Prepared by: Shaun Kroes, Senior Management Analyst DATE: October 23, 2012 (CC meeting of 11/07/2012) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City's Fiscal Year 2012/13 Transportation Development Act Claim SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to consider authorizing the submittal of the Fiscal Year (FY)2012/13 Transportation Development Act(TDA)claim, in the amount$1,127,817.00. 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 '%cent of the 7.25-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 $1,127,817.00 apportionment. This is $9,817.00 more than the currently adopted FY 2012/13 budget. DISCUSSION TDA funds are apportioned to the ten Ventura County cities and the County using a formula based on population. The City's FY 2012/13 TDA apportionment is$1,127,817.00. This is an increase of 3.81% compared to the City's FY 2011/12 apportionment of $1,086,465. SAPublic Works\Everyone\Reports\Staff Reports\2012\November\11-07-12(FY 12-13 TDA Claim).doc 188 Honorable City Council November 7, 2012 Page 2 TDA revenue has traditionally been the primary 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, the Moorpark City Transit fixed routes, 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, security camera preventive maintenance, and paratransit preventive maintenance/vehicle leases. In those cases, the local matching funds (typically twenty percent)come from TDA funds. TDA also funds the City's share of the VISTA-East (Ventura Intercity Service Transportation Authority) regional bus. 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 2012/13 claim include $390,000.00 for Local Transit Programs 8C Fund (5000)and $737,817.00 for Local Transportation 8A Fund (2603). The claim is essentially the same as the City's FY 2012/13 budget,with Fund 2603 receiving an additional $9,817.00. The FY 2012/13 budget includes $242,166.00 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 2012/13 budget, if necessary, are proposed to be made during the FY 2012/13 Mid-Year Budget Adjustment. FISCAL IMPACT The FY 2012/13 TDA Allocation will provide the City with $1,127,817.00. Streets and roads will receive $737,817.00 and transit will receive $390,000.00.
