Consider Resolution Authorizing the City's FY 2006/07
Transportation Development Act Claim
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 Y4¢ 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 $1,410,606 apportionment.
DISCUSSION
The funds are apportioned to the ten cities and the county using a formula based on
population. The City's FY 2006/07 TDA apportionment is $1,410,606. This is an increase of
$230,866 compared to the City's FY 2005/06 TDA apportionment of $1,179,740. 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, the Moorpark
City Transit fixed routes, and other transit improvements such as bus shelters. Transit
planning efforts by Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department 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.

After the City's transit related expenses are met, the remainder is available for streets and
roads. Staff proposes that the City's FY 2006/07 claim include $528,476 for Transit and
$882,130 for Streets & Roads.
In anticipation of the City's annual TDA allocation, the revenue from this claim and the
associated expenditure were included in the FY 2006/07 budget. At the time of budget
preparation, staff estimated that apportionment for Transit would be $609,208 and
$790,792 for Streets & Roads. Due to a carryover of unspent transit funds, the revenue
distribution has changed. A budget adjustment will be made when the Council considers
the midyear budget adjustment.
