AGENDA REPORT �-
ao —,A to 4.13_
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Yugal K. Lail, City Engineer/Public Works Director
Prepared by: Shaun Kroes, Management Analyst
DATE: October 4, 2007 (CC meeting of October 17, 2007)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City's FY 2007/08 Transportation
Development Act Claim
BACKGROUND
Each yearthe City Council is asked to approve a resolution authorizing the City Managerto
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 % cent of the 7.25-cent retail 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 $1,362,820 apportionment.
DISCUSSION
The funds are apportioned to the ten cities and the county using a formula based on
population. The City's FY 2007/08 TDA apportionment is$1,362,820. This is a decrease of
$47,786 compared to the City's FY 2006/07 TDA apportionment of$1,410,606. Economic
conditions and changing consumer spending habits affect the amount of TDA sales tax
revenue that is generated. The City anticipated the lower budget amount in the FY 2007/08
budget. Additional revenue in the City's budget reflects "Deferred Revenue" from unspent
funds of previous fiscal years.
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, 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. 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.
