Vargas Scott Vinton Commissioners Absent Victoria Baca Clint Lorimore Ted Weill Bill Zimmerman City of Cathedral City *Arrived after meeting was called to order WELCOME AND WORKSHOP OVERVIEW Chair Washington welcomed and thanked the Commissioners for their attendance and provided an overview of the January 31 workshop. Anne Mayer, Executive Director, presented the workshop overview, highlighting the following areas: • The Commission needs a vision and to change the transportation network system • The RCTC team under the Commission's leadership has the talent and responsibility to provide recommendations on the strategy and specific projects that will fulfill the long term vision • A map depicting priorities: project delivery in Riverside County • A photo depicting the highways for National Defense when the Interstate system was originally envisioned by President Eisenhower Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 2 • Challenges and opportunities — the challenge today and the requirement of modern infrastructure is to move our $20 trillion national economy; which includes one of its fastest growing regions in Riverside County: o Economic factors: International trade at the Ports and the Borders; retail commerce both brick and mortar and on line; affordability in housing; and employment • We're Growing — Riverside County is the fastest growing County in California in 2018 • A Press -Enterprise photo depicting heavy traffic on the freeway — It shifts the conversation to how can the Commission build a transportation system that grows jobs here • Before and after SB 1 Local Streets and Roads (LSR) Revenues in Riverside County, which is approximately a 90 percent increase in every cities in the County for LSR funding • Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys cities funding received before and after SB 1 • Western Riverside County cities funding received before and after SB 1 • A Riverside County map for the 2018 State Highway Operation and Protection (SHOPP) Program Caltrans will be investing $840 million over the next six years in rehabilitation and operation improvements Anne Mayer expressed this Commission made the right request last year making a difficult decision to oppose Proposition 6 and protect this investment. She stated SB 1 and Measure A are strong foundations upon which the Commission can build towards the future, however, the Commission cannot build its way out of congestion. Anne Mayer expressed building for the future and focusing on an overarching goal of bringing jobs and keeping jobs here. She then listed the topics for discussion at the workshop and expressed needing the Commissions leadership to achieve that goal for 2019. At this time, Chair Washington requested a moment of silence in honor of Commissioner Greg Pettis who passed away. DISADVANTAGE COMMUNITIES AND ITS IMPACT ON STATE GRANTS At this time, Anne Mayer welcomed and introduced Coachella Valley Association of Government's (CVAG) Executive Director Tom Kirk to present disadvantaged communities and its impact on state grants. Tom Kirk presented transportation and transportation that benefited disadvantaged communities, highlighting the following areas: • Transportation and the linkage to affordable housing objectives are not met as the SB 1 dollars are being held by the state • The Desert Sun Article — Newsom leaps headfirst into state housing crisis • Legislative Platform: Support maintaining the legislative intent behind SB 1, including, but not limited to: Opposing efforts to tie distribution of transportation funding to ancillary policy matters, such as housing Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 3 • Cap & Trade — The Commission and CVAG linking to affordable housing and Sustainable Communities Program: o So how is Riverside County in this housing -transport linked program relationship and funding: $667 million statewide; Riverside County's fair share would be $41 million; Riverside County's actual share is $6 million; and the Coachella Valley's actual share is $0 • Cap & Trade Transformative Climate Communities (TCC): Fresno received $70 million and Los Angeles and Ontario received $35 million • TCC targets disadvantage communities, which CVAG believed was great for the Coachella Valley • Between Coachella Valley and Blythe there are 126 census tracts 86 of them are at or below the federal poverty level • A long spreadsheet was displayed with the new math for disadvantaged communities in the state of California of the top 25 percent • How is the CalEnvironscreen Scored: Pollution burden x population characteristics = Environscreen score — CalEnviroscreen only says part of Indio one census tract, part of Coachella and the North Shore one census tract in Blythe are disadvantaged • TCC Planning gave $170,000 grant money in Coachella to plan for the bigger dollars, however the state said they cannot compete as it is not bad enough and only goes to the top five percent • Although there are disadvantaged communities in Indio, Palm Desert, and in La Quinta and they cannot apply for those grant funds as these cities do not do poorly enough with new math in the state of California • A map that depicts the six interchanges in the Coachella Valley that CVAG funded in partnership with the Commission, Ca!trans, and local cities none of those are what the state would consider disadvantaged communities • A map depicting the areas if CalEnvironscreen used or affordable housing for people that live in Coachella Valley • Why is this a pressing issue — Certainly Riverside County is not getting the money that is deserved; CVAG is working with Assemblyman Edward Garcia to make some fixes and to focus also on income THE FIRST HALF OF 2019 — WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON? John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director, presented the RCTC look ahead for the first half of 2019 and what's on the horizon, highlighting the following: • January 2019 —1-215 Placentia Interchange project; approval of Legislative Platform; one year anniversary of the start of Route 200; and Active Transportation Grant awards • February 2019 — Sound walls on 1-15; State Grant decision on Coachella Valley Rail; Riverside/La Sierra Metrolink station improvement; and Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) Workshop Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 4 • March 2019 - #rebootmyCOMMUTE; 91 Express Lanes 2nd anniversary; 91 Express Lanes new customer service office; Truck Study update; Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Grant submittal seeking $75 million in Federal funding • April 2019 — RCTC VanClub 1st anniversary • May 2019: Rebuilding California SB 1 — Environmental work begins: 1-15 Express Lanes Project Southern Extension; 1-15 Railroad Canyon Interchange projects • May 2019 — Complete Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) • June 2019 — Adoption of FY 2019/20 Budget; adoption of SRTPs; launch design -build procurement process 15/91 Express Lanes Connector; updating transponder technology; 91 Implementation Plan update • Summer 2019 — Call Box optimization; 60 Truck Lanes project construction begins; Pachappa Bridge project construction bids opening; and 1-15 Express Lanes project — 50 percent construction milestone Commissioner Michael Naggar explained how the city of Temecula (Temecula) put in an application for the INFRA Grant and it was turned down and Temecula is submitting again as is the Commission. He stated that Temecula and the Commission has the same goals and asked if there has been any consideration to collaborate on that grant. Anne Mayer explained when there has been a federal or a statewide grant opportunity the Commission puts forward the projects that are much larger, more regionally focused and the most competitive, which is the Commission's primary focus. She discussed why the agencies could not combine all submittals in Riverside County for the grant proposals and how the Commission will continue to submit its project priorities per Measure A. In response to Commissioner Naggar's inquiry if the French Valley Parkway is included in the INFRA Grant, Anne Mayer replied no. She stated the INFRA Grant proposal the Commission is going forward with is a bundle related to the 91 Corridor and the Commission is asking for $75 million to compliment an overall program of $400 million. She discussed the last round that was formerly called Build Discretionary Grant when the 71/91 interchange was submitted for funding and discussed the debrief from the U.S. Department of Transportation. She noted the bundle of projects related to the 91 Corridor the Commission is submitting is geographically focused, they are projects ready to go and has a huge sum of power money as a part of the package. She discussed the status of the French Valley Parkway project as Phase II is fully funded and encouraged city staff to submit Phase III as part of the cities' proposal. She stated staff is not asking the Commissioners to establish priorities, but to set the path forward so staff can establish all those priorities for the next 10 years of the sales tax measure. In response to Commissioner Naggar's inquiry about the workshop agenda, Anne Mayer replied from 4:00 p.m. — 5:00 p.m. the Commission will be discussing priorities for 2019 and beyond and staff has a presentation that will layout the challenges over the next 10 years and there will be a proposed path to identify the next steps. Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 5 In response to Commissioner Naggar's inquiry in John Standiford's presentation on the projects that are about to start as the French Valley Parkway project was left out, Anne Mayer replied the calendar Mr. Standiford provided was only a snap shot of the first six months of this year. Commissioner Rusty Bailey noted there are a couple active transportation projects that connect a number of cities. The bottom line is the Santa Ana River Trail connects a number of cities and the Commission has assisted with project management at the start to suffice at least five or six cities. Commissioner Bailey stated OCTA should be part of 91 corridor discussions and or plan since there is so much opportunity there with electric scooters and electric bikes, which is something the Commission has not had an update on in a while. He suggested having more updates even for CV Link and keep watching the active transportation feature as it was mentioned there are grants out there and the Commission needs to continue on that route. Commissioner Karen Spiegel expressed gratitude when Anne Mayer was talking about a vision and the change in conversation. She took focus on John Standiford's presentation and in going through the Commission briefing book and the staff insider, she suggested it does not address the change of that conversation or at least the beginning stages and this is the first six months of the year. Commissioner Spiegel expressed the Commission needs to jump on this whether it is to create an ad hoc committee, which she wants to be a member. Anne Mayer stated clearly staff should have started with the last presentation first. She expressed being delighted with the enthusiasm and desire to discuss this and her comments at the beginning were to provide an overview of some of the conversations to come. Anne Mayer explained staff is trying to share with the Commissioners enough background information so there is a full understanding of what is being discussed. She suggested getting through the next couple of agenda items and then the Commission can have that conversation. Commissioner Spiegel stated she will be listening closely since she wants to discuss the Measure A and hopes there will be something different, as that is not the kind of vision the Commission should necessarily focus on. Anne Mayer noted the voter mandate that the Commission must review Measure A. Commissioner Spiegel suggested having a bigger vision on changing the vision of how the Commission looks at transportation and time it into economic development, which is a conversation not being addressed for the sales tax increase. Anne Mayer clarified there will be a presentation at 4:00 p.m. about the Priorities for 2019 & Beyond. PUBLIC TRANSIT ISSUES TODAY AND WHAT IS THE FUTURE At this time, Commissioner Kevin Jeffries left the meeting and Commissioner V. Manuel Perez joined the meeting. Lorelle Moe -Luna presented the public transit today and opportunities for the future, highlighting the following areas: • Pop quiz — 1) Who is the oldest Transit Operator in the County? 2) What percent of the population utilizes public transit in Riverside County? 3) Why were the STA, LTF, and Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 6 Measure A funding formulas established? 4) What did the SCAG/UCLA study determine to be the main reason for the decline in ridership in recent years? 5) What is the average subsidy per passenger for fixed -route bus and demand response? 6) Which mode/category has seen the highest increases in ridership? • RCTC's role in Public Transit — Development and approval of short-range transportation improvement program; and coordination and approval of public transit service within the County • Transportation Development Act of 1971 — Approve allocations to claimants based on analysis and evaluation of anticipated amounts and relative needs of each claimant; and Identify, analyze and recommend potential productivity improvements • Eight public Transit Operators in Riverside County: o Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA); SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine); Riverside Transit Agency (RTA); Corona Cruiser; Riverside Special Transportation; Pass Transit; and Metrolink o Combined service areas total over 3,700 square miles; total county population of about 2.4 million o About 2 percent utilize public transit • Specialized Transit providers to non -profits in Riverside County • 2008 Transit Vision — Purpose: Foundation for a 10-year conceptual plan of transit service throughout the County • Five main goals: 1) Increase coordination with the Transit and Rideshare Community; 2) Remove barriers to transit use; 3) Provide efficient and effective transit and rideshare service; 4) Ensure adequate funding; and 5) Promote energy efficiency • 2088 Transit Vision — Funding Formulas for Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley • 10 years later: Annual revenue service hours increased 32 percent; over $27 million awarded to social service agencies for specialized transit programs; Expansion of 8 new intercity express routes; start of RTA's RapidLink Gold Line in 2017; Perris Valley Line (PVL) Metrolink extension in 2016; Metrolink added two now peak trains, weekend service, special event trains for the Festival of Lights; Better technology for customers such as RTA's BusWatch and the SunBus Tracker; SunLine awarded Cap -and -Trade funds for hydrogen -powered buses and hydrogen -generating station; IE Commuter was started to match carpoolers and offer incentives to rideshare; PVVTA started Blythe Wellness Express for specialized healthcare access; New Vanpool Programs created such as SunLine's SolVan and RCTC's VanClub; and Various marketing programs to attract new riders and growth markets • Ridership Trends — Bus: Ridership declined about 11 percent for fixed -routes, 7 percent demand response since Fiscal Year 2014 • Ridership Trends — Rail: Overall has remained about flat since FY 2014; and Metrolink ridership in Riverside County has increased about 9 percent since FY 2014, as a result of the PVL extension • Future growth opportunities: 1) Focus on more cost efficient service; 2) Transit agencies are already rethinking the way they deliver service to attract new riders; and 3) Leverage other regional investments Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 7 • Next steps: o Incorporate the next Transit Vision into the LRTP — The LRTP will: o Shape a vision for an integrated transportation system in Riverside County for the next 20 years, focus on the next 10 years o Take a comprehensive look at state highway, local streets, and transit projects o Allow the Commission and our local partners to better prioritize and compete for grants with a more multimodal and corridor approach o Update to be provided in the spring/early summer At this time, Commissioner Magee left the meeting. At this time, Commissioner Steven Hernandez joined the meeting. M/S/C (Reed/Welch) to: 1) Receive and file a report on the status of public transit; and 2) Direct staff to come back to the Commission by June 2019 with recommendations on any funding formula adjustments or transit policies that are needed to support public transit in Riverside County (County). Chair Washington noted there has been a schedule change. After the break when the workshop reconvenes the Commission will take the Priorities for 2019 & Beyond before What's Next for Express Lanes in Riverside County. Anne Mayer referred to the transit vision formula slide and explained the reason staff provided the Commission with this background information and when updating the LRTP the Commission is going to make tough decisions about how to make investments. She expressed transit ridership is declining and the Commission continues to invest more funding into transit in hopes if we build it they will come. Anne Mayer explained the Commission will need to decide what the goals and objectives are and how to invest in transit. She referred to the formulas on how much of transit funds are invested in bus and how much in specialized transit is invested in rail. At this time, Commissioner Art Welch left the meeting. Anne Mayer mentioned staff will spend the next six months evaluating the transit services, and seeking input from stakeholders. She stated for those Commissioners who want to share with staff immediately send her an email, staff will integrate a few stakeholder conversations with some great ideas and suggestions that were brought forward. She clarified transit ridership is down but it does not mean that all the transit agency partners are seeing a decline on ridership. PRIORITIES FOR 2019 & BEYOND Aaron Hake, External Affairs Director, presented the Priorities for 2019 & Beyond, highlighting the following: Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 8 • Why — Bringing new large employers to Riverside County and bringing the workplace closer to our workforce; is it supporting the tourism economy; or is it creating safer alternatives to today's transportation systems through embracing revolutionary technology or active transportation • A picture of the new California Air Resources Board facility coming to Riverside — Having more transportation facilities coming to Riverside to support employers such as this • What — 2019 Measure A review; 2019-2029 Western County Highway Delivery Plan; new projects, programs, initiatives beyond Measure A • A map of Western County projects and future projects — highlighted in green are completed projects, in blue projects that are in the construction phase, in red are projects that are near term, and in purple are the long term priority projects • How — Status quo/reduce expectations; innovative finance (express lanes) embrace new technology; next general express lanes, new measure (2020) • The financial climb — Western County Highway: $4+ billion in RCTC led -projects; Existing Western County Highway sources: $936 million (23 percent) thru 2029; and 73 percent restricted use; with a 2020 Measure the Commission could estimate receiving $3-6 billion Countywide • On the path to 2020: O 62 percent yes vote possible (ceiling) — 2017 public opinion research o Need 66.67 percent (gap of 4.67 percent) o Public Engagement Program is in motion, ramping -up o Public sentiment toward RCTC remains positive • #rebootmycommute — Another way to get the public's priorities • Future Funding Initiatives Ad Hoc Committee: 2019 Measure A review; 10-Year Western County Highway Plan; Countywide 2020 New Measure; and Innovative Finance review and recommend to the Commission the Countywide Priorities & Funding Strategy by July 2019 Anne Mayer explained frequently these conversations start with projects, the importance of how these projects make a connection between housing, transportation, jobs, and the economy. She stated the question is for the next 10 years of the measure how does the Commission deliver the right projects for the Commissioners' communities. The challenge offered now is to tell staff what you think, what is important and why is it important, and what should the Commission focus on. At this time, Chair Washington went through the list of all the ad hoc committee appointments from the 2019 Committee Appointments that was distributed to the Commissioners. Chair Washington stated the next step is to schedule a meeting of the Future Funding Initiatives (FFI) Ad Hoc Committee to get more detail and look at what is available, what projects are priorities, and how to fund these projects. Commissioner Wes Speake expressed making a change in tying transportation, housing, and economic development together. He stated addressing economic development is a way to take those transportation dollars, stretch them, and fill some gaps in the meantime. Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 9 Chair Washington referred to the opening comments from Anne Mayer and expressed it is important to recognize there are some clean up issues from the 91 corridor that was pushed off so those have a priority. He stated the Commission has to focus on more internal circulation within Riverside County on how to create an infrastructure that promotes housing and economic development needs, and how to move people and goods. He expressed the Commission is in the best position in terms of a funding stream and as Anne Mayer mentioned if there are ways to bring outside dollars into Riverside County and free up the County funding the Commission would be better off. Chair Washington stated the Commission has to get those grant funds then leverage the remaining funds the Commission has, and set up the Commission's priority projects. Anne Mayer discussed how this workshop was not intended to be about projects and setting priorities. She expressed staff is requesting what concerns the Commissioners have about the growth in Riverside County, how it impacts their communities, and what is your future vision in order to come up with a future plan. Commissioner Andrew Kotyuk stated he is coming from different perspectives to address that issue and to address the FFI Ad Hoc Committee to consider, which is finance and rail being Metrolink. He suggested three scenarios, which is: 1) when there is a recession what are the priorities, 2) if it stays status quo what are the priorities, and 3) if things continue to grow and expand and revenues continues to increase what are the priorities. Commissioner Kotyuk discussed from a rail standpoint about Metrolink the environmental and connection issues amongst the counties. He expressed concern about the many lawsuits on the city of San Jacinto Measure A projects so their projects have not happened while their community contributed to Measure A. He requested that many of the large projects in San Jacinto be looked at that were part of the original Measure A and break them up in segments to gradually keep the voters and supporters behind Measure A moving forward. Commissioner Dana Reed stated Riverside County is the new Orange County as it is growing and Orange County is the same in terms of population growth. He expressed the population growth will go higher and all the housing is already permitted and not to mention those that are not yet permitted. He explained the voters of Los Angeles County had chosen to take two cents so every taxable sale goes to transportation and the Commission is at a half -cent sales tax. Commissioner Reed expressed Riverside County is at the very low end of participation and self-help planning due to only having a half -cent sales tax. Commissioner Naggar expressed appreciation for Commissioner Reed's comments and referred to Commissioner Speake's comment about sticking to status quo, to develop the Commission's plans around economic development and housing. Commissioner Naggar discussed several reasons why he is advocating for the French Valley Parkway project Phase III since this project is important to the cities of Canyon Lake, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula, and Wildomar. He expressed this is a tourism, employment, and housing base and it needs to be looked at as all the cities mentioned are affected. He expressed support for an additional tax measure for Measure A and noted it is the Commission's obligation to educate the voters. He mentioned the toll roads are producing $48 million, which is a great revenue source to keep or dedicate it for that area. Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 10 Commissioner Jan Harnik expressed appreciation for the Commissioners' comments and for the fact the Commission might have to shape up the status quo. There are communities that have issues that need to be remedied in the Coachella Valley that have no proper transportation. Commissioner Harnik stated there are different needs in Coachella Valley as there is too much congestion when people are going to their tourist events. She suggested taking a step back, getting bold, shaking this up, the Commission has to drive the discussion and the building whether it is homes or jobs. Commissioner Jim Hyatt explained living in the Pass Area in the city of Calimesa and how the cities of Beaumont and Banning will have 20,000+ homes built in the next 15 years. He expressed the SR-60 Truck Lanes project is not necessary and noted he mentioned it at the 2018 Commission Annual Workshop. He discussed his meeting with former Caltrans District Director John Bulinski and San Bernardino about the issues with 1-10. Commissioner Hyatt expressed concern his engineer and San Bernardino verified there is practically no way to add another lane in the Pass Area. He suggested the Commission improves lanes on SR-60 at 1-10 that connects westbound due to the truck traffic in addition to improving 1-10/SR-60 interchange or the cities of Beaumont, Banning, and Calimesa will be in terrible shape. Commissioner Hyatt suggested the Nexus Study cover other roads such as Live Oak Canyon to Redlands Boulevard and form a committee with San Bernardino, as the Commission needs that connection. Anne Mayer expressed there will be significant growth in the Pass Area and the infrastructure system cannot handle it. She explained there are projects included in the Expenditure Plan developed in 1999 and in 2019, and the Commission is responsible to re-evaluate the Expenditure Plan. She asked the Commissioners if the projects in Measure A still apply to their objectives trying to be achieved. Commissioner Steven Hernandez suggested evaluating the long-term impacts on the economy with respect to some of the Commission's transportation projects and what these projects will do long term for the economy. There are new houses coming in and he suggested if there should be criteria to look at how to keep commuters closer to home instead of commuting to their jobs. He requested looking at what the long-term impacts are on the economy on all these projects that need funding but expressed long term it is just a bridge that may not be doing anything for people staying closer to home and working closer to home. Commissioner Lloyd White stated wanting to build on the Pass Area with a different twist. He explained the Commission is in a very reactive mode, and there have been problems with the Pass Area for years and as Commissioner Hyatt mentioned there are over 21,000 new homes. Commissioner White expressed the Pass Area becomes a choke point that affects the Pass Area and Coachella Valley, it is going to affect the transportation logistics with the warehouses and the job growth logistics have been significant. He discussed the mitigation fee analysis for the World Logistic Center that impacts I-10 to Coachella Valley. He expressed concern there were no members from the Pass Area on the FFI Ad Hoc Committee. Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 11 Commissioner Ben Benoit concurred the Commission needs to look in a different direction as it is not necessarily the problem with freeways it is mainly the infrastructure needing a two-lane road. Commissioner Benoit stated if the city of Wildomar creates a job center in Menifee, Wildomar, and Murrieta that is more an east to west connectivity without improving local roads would bring his city to attract a larger community and a larger office tower. Commissioner Benoit suggested focusing on where there is a double standard as there will be future impacts on the I- 15 corridor central portion, which is one of the projects going forward. He requested if possible, there are some dedicated on ramps and off ramps such as the city of Calimesa on SR-60 as they have similar issues in the city of Wildomar in parts of that area including Bundy Canyon due to high fatality risk rates. He stated this would help create these local business centers in these cities to bring in some of those Orange County businesses. Commissioner Rusty Bailey concurred with Commissioners Benoit and Commissioner Harnik's comments and the proactive nature of looking long term. He stated where does it make sense to build up and what are the incentives for a city to build up since it will create more traffic and an impasse. Commissioner Bailey expressed just the nature is what we are in is to pay as you go. Aaron Hake replied the Commission could not bond anymore but that is how it has acquired the projects the Commission has today. Commissioner Bailey clarified the Commission is reacting to the impacts as TUMF might be a little more proactive, in the future how can the Commission incentivize cities to build that tower knowing there will be all those impacts. He concurred in terms of the Nexus Study between transportation and urban, mid -county, and eastern portion housing. At this time, Commissioner Scott Matas left the meeting. Commissioner Karen Spiegel explained the jobs in Los Angeles and Orange Counties pay more, people move out to Riverside County to buy a bigger home, and they choose to drive in and expect the cities to fix that problem. She suggested to collaborate and bring that philosophy of businesses out this way, as the cities tend to build the houses first and then the infrastructure. Commissioner Spiegel expressed each city has issues but the Commission needs to provide where the energy should be focused, which is how to find that partnership. She expressed priorities are important and referred to Anne Mayer's comment what is the why and what are we trying to accomplish. She suggested the Commission must think outside that box and get the vision and work together to be more successful. She stated the key piece missing and the state is missing is economic development, which needs to be tied to transportation. Commissioner Middleton expressed this is not only a Riverside County issue it is a Southern California regional issue of how to get people from one place to another. She suggested there is something else to look at, which is when people get home what is the safety around the streets. She stated is there an infrastructure of streets that makes it safe for people to walk, or to use bicycles to get from one place to another and largely there is not. It is apparent if the Commission wants to engage millennial voters the Commission needs to get the opportunity if they are voting Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 12 to get more dedicated bike lanes, which will be safe. She suggested lowering the speed limits in the cities in order to save lives. Commissioner Hewitt discussed how the Governor's plan is to build more houses and legislation that will circumvent CEQA. He expressed support for the Mid County Parkway project, which will open up Hidden Valley, San Jacinto, Hemet, the bypass, and the intersections at Cherry Valley and Highland Springs, where SR-79 meets up as all these projects are important. He stated Riverside County will be the second largest county in 15-20 years and the Commission needs to start thinking outside the box as this body can do some amazing things. Commissioner Linda Krupa stated discussed the importance and impact of jobs. She discussed the reasons for increased traffic at SR-79 and San Jacinto Valley and the two city streets Warren Road and San Jacinto Street that takes the increased traffic and has more accidents. She supports all the projects the Commission completed and for all the comments made. She expressed being project specific on the SR-79 Realignment project, which is why it has been very detrimental to the San Jacinto Valley and the cities of Hemet and San Jacinto. Commissioner Harnik expressed appreciation for Commissioner Spiegel's comments and stated when looking specifically at Coachella Valley it is primarily east and west so it is critical the Commission works together for the best result. She suggested occasionally it is not widening the streets it is about technology that can get the Commission there and she referred to Page 10 of the staff report about improving traffic flow and reduce congestion on Highway 111, which does not need to be a great amount of construction done. She suggested traffic signal synchronization, which is being driven as technology can go a long way in order to move things at a better rate. Commissioner Vinton concurred with the Commissioners' comments about the community and Western Riverside County is a commuting population. He suggested bringing in more paying jobs in order to help that however it is up to the cities to look at regionally. He expressed support for the French Valley Parkway Phase III project to alleviate some of that traffic. He inquired on the dollar amounts mentioned that the additional measure could bring in. Aaron Hake replied that would be the low end of what that half -cent can bring in over 20 years in the Commission's original estimation. He stated the Commission's legislative authority from the Governor and the Legislature is for another half -cent for what Measure A currently is. Commissioner Wes Speake stated in speaking to the Corona City Council and the Economic Development Department any business established in Riverside County east and south of Corona is good for the city of Corona. It is a regional solution as the entire western part of the county funnels through one freeway and the projects occurring in the city of Corona are for the County. He expressed Economic Development has to be a part of this and how to look at land use in each city is a regional issue. Chair Washington pointed out how the city of Irvine is one of the best places to live in the Country and 60 percent of the people leave town every day to work somewhere else. He expressed as long as the quality of life bar is raised in the communities people will want to live there for having Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 13 safe communities and great schools. Chair Washington stated the more popular that community becomes there is more pressure on home values. He expressed recognizing the problem is transportation and infrastructure, which the Commission is trying to resolve and be creative. Commissioner Naggar provided comments on behalf of Commissioner Bob Magee's request. Commission Magee expressed support for the 1-15 Task Force efforts goal, which is to improve mobility from Cajalco Road to San Diego County Line and this needs to be one of the Commission's priorities for 2019 and beyond. M/S/C (Bailey/Hyatt) to: 1) Receive and file the RCTC Staff Insight Brief; 3) Assign the Future Funding Initiatives ad hoc Committee to thoroughly vet and make specific recommendations to the Commission no later than July 2019 on the following: a. Measure A Expenditure Plan Review and update; b. 2019-2029 Western County Highway Delivery Plan; c. A new local funding measure for the 2020 general election; and d. Innovative financing of express lanes revenues. At this time, Anne Mayer explained the Commission needs to approve staff recommendation no. 2, due to the urgency for the timeline on this project. This action item is related to the 15/91 Express Lane Connector project, which connects SR-91 with 1-15 north. Staff will come back to the Commission early 2020 with a contract award and final cost. She stated the range of the project cost is $200 - $230 million and the revenues used will be excess toll revenues from the 91 Express Lanes. In response to Commissioner Vinton's inquiry, Anne Mayer replied southbound 1-15 to westbound SR-91, to eastbound SR-91 to northbound 1-15. That connector was not built with the original project, as there was not enough money so it was pulled out of the original project. She explained it was not put in the 1-15 project, as there was not enough money to build it so the Commission was given $180 million from the state and a deadline to spend the money and have the project built by June 30, 2023. She stated there is a sense of urgency related to the project delivery and putting this request for qualifications out on the street. In response to Commissioner Speake's clarification if this is the access toll revenue pulled, Anne Mayer replied if the Commission needs the full amount and there is no other funding source it would use a great deal of the surplus toll revenue. She explained as it was mentioned the Commission is submitting an INFRA Grant request to the Federal Department of Transportation for all three of the projects on the 91 Corridor to fully fund those then those projects will be dealt with different funding types. Anne Mayer expressed the Commission has sufficient expectations related to all fund types that this project and the 91 Corridor Operations project between Green River and SR-241 can be funded. Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 14 M/S/C (Naggar/Hanna) to: 2) Commit necessary 91 Express Lanes toll revenue to fully fund the 15/91 Express Lanes Connector design -build phase; At this time, Commissioner Hyatt left the meeting. WHAT'S NEXT FOR EXPRESS LANES IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY Michael Blomquist, Toll Program Director, presented what's next for express lanes in Riverside County, highlighting the following areas: • A map depicting the 15/91 Express Lanes Connector project • The 91 experience — 91 Express Lanes FY 2017/18 volume: Over 14.5 million annual customers used the 91 Express Lanes, 3.2 million carpool trips, which averages to about 40,000 daily customers use the 91 Express Lanes and $47.9 million was generated • Why pursue Express Lanes: o Limited state and federal funding o Erosion of federal gas tax o Significant but finite Measure A funding o Continued increase in people, households, and jobs o Very limited freeway expansion plans by state — operational improvements, maintaining the existing system • Trends: 2006 and Now: o Use of single -occupant vehicles o Long-term jobs -housing imbalance o Continued demand for less congested alternatives o Willingness of Riverside County residents to pay a toll for travel benefits • Should we develop Express Lanes: o Deliver improvements sooner due to toll funding o 91 and 15 Projects toll revenue -backed financing: 91 Project = $598 million and 15 project = 152 million o Construct improvements not otherwise possible o Portion of 91 corridor general purpose lane improvements o New express lanes in both corridors o Express Lanes have brought $750 million to Riverside County Transportation Commission • New Choices for solo drivers: o Pay a toll for travel benefits o Travel time certainty and savings o Use when you want: Daily commuter; occasional/weekend trip; and critical trip • Meet Measure A Voter Commitments: o Voter Commitment —1-15: One lane/direction: SR-60 to San Diego County Line o Projects Underway: 1-15 Express Lanes (SR-60 to Cajalco): two lanes/direction; and 1-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension (Cajalco to SR-74): two lanes/direction Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 15 o Reduced Measure A contribution to 1-15: Spend on other Measure A projects • Meet Other Transportation Needs: o Corridor improvements not in Measure A: Recommended improvements to follow o Surplus toll revenue: Metrolink stations and service; freeway lanes and interchanges; recreational trail system; and express lane improvements • Capitalize on the Investments Already Made: o $1.9 +/- billion investment made in 91 and 15 corridors: Express lane backbone in place; and Toll building purchase for long-term operations o Extend express lane network south and east: More Riverside County residents can benefit o Build on Success: 91 Express Lanes successful opening; and 15 Express Lanes to open next year • Enables More Transit: o Express lane construction also provides transit infrastructure: No additional cost for express bus, van pool o RTA express bus Route 200 uses the 91 Express Lanes: Operating since January 2018: January: 385 boardings/day December: 625 boardings/day (+62%); and 171,000 annual boardings o RCTC Van pool program — (VanClub) • Improve All Lanes: o Allow Carpool and General Purpose (GP) lanes to work better: Add new lane capacity; and every car in the express lanes = one less care in the GP lanes o Raise occupancy requirement to 3+: Ensures carpool demand does not break down the carpool lane o Variable tolls manage demand ensuring free -flow express lanes: More cars moved, less congestion and delay in express lanes • Degraded Carpool Lanes with a graph on the new express lane corridors: O 2017 Caltrans Report: Degraded locations o New express lane corridors • Pay Operations and Maintenance Cost: o No funded obligations for RCTC or Caltrans — 50 years of O&M costs paid via tolls o Ensures well -maintained express lanes for customers: RCTC provides funding and ensure maintenance; and both annual and long-term rehabilitation maintenance • Initial Backbone and the Network Expansion: o We've done this before: 2005-2006 toll feasibility work; and Prioritization of 91 and 15 corridors O 2009-2019 Delivery Plan: Prioritization of Measure A projects o Where should the expansion occur? At this time, Michael Blomquist welcomed and introduced Greg Hulsizer, HNTB Project Manager to present where should the Commission expand the express lanes. Greg Hulsizer presented if the Commission were to develop future express lanes where would they be, and highlighted the following: Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 16 • Study Methodology: Workshop -based approach • Four Tasks: 1) Identify key criteria and assumptions; 2) Screening analysis and tiered rankings of potential facilities; 3) Detailed analysis of top tier facilities; and 4) Establishment of overall feasibility • Key Criteria and Assumptions • 16 Potential Corridors — List of Corridors for RCTC Next Generation Tolling Study and a map that depicts 32 different options for the potential corridors with express lanes in two different directions for consideration • Top Tier Corridors: O 91 Downtown Riverside: SR-91 from 1-15 to SR-91/I-215/SR-60 Interchange O 60 Jurupa-Riverside: SR-60 from 1-15 to SR-91/I-215/SR-60 Interchange O 60 Riverside -Moreno Valley: I-215/SR-60 from SR-91/I-215/SR-60 Interchange to Gilman Springs Road O 60/215 Riverside -Moreno Valley: SR-60/I-215 from SR-91/I-215/SR-60 Interchange to Gilman Springs Road; and SR-60/I-215 East Junction to Van Buren Boulevard • A map that depicts the Top Tier Corridors map • 91 Downtown Riverside: 14 miles (1-15 to SR-60) O 1 lane in each direction o Convert 1-HOV to 1-Express Lane o Minimal right of way impacts • Capital cost: $184 million • 60 Jurupa-Riverside: 10 Miles (1-15 to 1-215) O 2 lanes in each direction o Convert 1-HOV and add 1 lane for 2-Express Lanes • Capital Cost: $508 million • 60 Riverside -Moreno Valley: 5 miles (I-215/SR-60); 10 miles (SR-60) O 1 lane in each direction o Convert 1-HOV to 1-Express Lane in each direction • Capital Cost: $128 million • 60/215 Riverside -Moreno Valley: 5 miles (I-215/SR-60); 10 miles (SR-60); 4 miles (1-215) O 2 lanes in each direction portion O 1 lane in each direction portions o Convert 1-HOV and add 1 lane for 2-Express Lanes in each direction • Capital Cost: $319 million • Summary of Results — 35 Year Net Revenue Study for the top tier corridors • Finance ability and Feasibility Ranking for the top tier corridors - Ranking 1: 60/215 Riverside -Moreno Valley Corridor; Ranking 2: 60 Riverside -Moreno Valley Corridor; Ranking 3: 91 Downtown Riverside Corridor; and Ranking 4: 60 Jurupa-Riverside Corridor • Overall Feasibility and criteria that should be considered: Transportation Mobility; Financial Feasibility; Connectivity; Project Impacts; and Project Support and Schedule • Overall Feasibility Weighting: Transportation Mobility 35%; Financial Feasibility 30%; Connectivity 15%; Project Support and Schedule 10%; and Project Impacts 10% Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 17 • Overall Feasibility of Corridor Rankings: 1) 60/215 Riverside -Moreno Valley; 2) 91 Downtown Riverside; 3) 60 Riverside -Moreno Valley; and 4) 60 Jurupa-Riverside At this time, Greg Hulsizer turned it over to Michael Blomquist to present the most feasible corridors, highlighting the following areas: • What Project East of 60/215/91 Interchange? o GOLD = 60/215 Riverside Moreno Valley Express Lanes: 2 lanes/direction up to the 60/215 split o 1-215 improvement: more benefit — SR-60 to Van Buren Boulevard o Financially more feasible: Most feasible out of all four corridors • Next Steps: Prepare Project Initiation Documents: Project Initiation Document = Project Study Report o Establishes: 1) purpose and need statement; 2) project scope; and 3) cost and schedule o Major work on the SHS requires Caltrans-approved Project Initiation Document o Meets Statutory and CTC requirements for STIP-candidate projects In response to Commissioner Reed's clarification, Michael Blomquist replied the goal is all the green area as shown in the top tier corridors map, which is the portion down 1-215 and it is an additional lane from the big interchange in Riverside. He clarified it is from SR-91/SR-60/I-215 interchange in Riverside east it is two lanes in each direction as opposed to one lane in each direction to the East Junction. Commissioner Speake expressed appreciation there are openings and wanted to know if a zipper was factored in. He explained traveling to San Diego every week and seeing additional capacity especially in this area and on SR-91, and it is not going to slow down. He understands why it did not happen through SR-91 through Corona as there are no exits so having entrances, exits there will seem to lend itself, and it is something to be considered. Michael Blomquist clarified if he was referring to the proposed aerial system and stated it was looked at over the years not with that specifically part of the study. He discussed some of the challenges with that system. Commissioner Bailey stated that obviously staging and the phases of construction are important. He referred to the slide with the staff recommendation and stated 91 Downtown -Riverside was first so he is assuming it is in that order. Michael Blomquist replied it is not, there is no perceived order, one of the benefits of going to this next stage of development is further evaluate which one makes sense, and they would be constructing these all at the same time. Anne Mayer explained to be clear staff is proposing to proceed with one Project Study Report that looks at this as a system and all three of the proposed express lanes projects are not being evaluated independently. Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 18 Michael Blomquist stated staff anticipates in the future should the Commission decide to advance these further after the initial step, eventually a priority will evolve in some way and staff will come back to the Commission with an update. Commissioner Berkson stated since the Commission loses about 80 percent of revenue to tolling cheaters in the 3+ express lane if the Commission collected that these projects would become more feasible. He requested in the future as he mentioned at a prior meeting to have a legal course of action to take against the cheaters in the 3+ express lane. He expressed these options appear to be replacing existing HOV lanes with paid express lanes, which will help people already using the toll lane but will not help the people that were currently using that lane. Commissioner Berkson noted this will potentially add more traffic to the general purpose lanes and suggested if the Commission moves forward with these to address the issues and concerns. Michael Blomquist replied this is not only a problem with the existing carpooling statewide but many of the express lane facilities have high violation rates. He explained the Commission pays the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to police violations in the express lanes and that service certainly can increase. He discussed the pilot programs that were done and how the Commission on the 1-15 Express Lanes decided to move forward through the industry into a pilot program, which is a camera based system and they are still working through the results. Mr. Blomquist stated there is not an immediate technology solution available and discussed the issue about added capacity versus conversion and the overall benefit to the corridor of traffic operations of fully functioning express lanes. In response to Commissioner Berkson's inquiry with this new technology if it is related to the rest of the nation, Michael Blomquist replied at some point but it is coming. Currently the transponders do not operate nationally. Statewide there will be the 6c transponders throughout the state on every toll facility and some of the other states will do the same in the western region. In response to Commissioner Bailey's clarification, the HOV express lane 3+ would be free and is it something to evaluate and miles would need adjusting, Michael Blomquist replied absolutely. For the purpose of this pilot study they took the same policies currently on 1-15 and all the policies would be subject to Commission approval on whether to charge carpoolers and how much. In response to Commissioner Bailey's inquiry the express lanes 3+ are on certain days of the week, Michael Blomquist replied correct it is Monday through Friday, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. eastbound 91 Express Lanes it is 50 percent charged for carpoolers. Commissioner Bailey stated the Commission is not adding capacity just changing the lane over. Anne Mayer explained currently most HOV lanes are 2+ and that might not be the case for much longer as the Federal Highway Administration is mandating Caltrans to do something about all these degraded HOV lanes. She stated what the Commission does with that situation is raise the occupancy so it might not be in the distant future the Commission's HOV lanes will automatically go up to 3+ with or without express lanes. She stated as Michael Blomquist mentioned any Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 19 decisions about that would be made based on much greater level of information detailed analysis and the Commission would be involved in that conversation. In response to Commissioner Hernandez's request to elaborate on the criteria for which this was chosen, Greg Hulsizer put up the Overall Feasibility slide and explained the first cut was made strictly on financial feasibility, can this project pay for itself, and can it go and be financed. He stated discussions early on suggested that is great but there are other criteria that should be considered and the RCTC team had that discussion as to what that might be, which the top-level themes are: Transportation Mobility, Financial Feasibility, Connectivity, Project Impacts, and Project Support and Schedule. He discussed below those top-level themes how they got to what connectivity means that was done for each category, which was considered individually, also how the percentages were determined for the overall feasibility. In response to Commissioner Hernandez's question if the assumption for respective jobs and education is the express lanes can get people there faster, Greg Hulsizer replied the assumption is overall the express lanes will increase travel speeds and liability to the extent of being able to locate to ingress and egress near those facilities. M/S/C (Bailey/Vargas) to: 1) Receive study summary results and staff recommendations; and 2) Provide direction on staff recommendations. WRAP UP AND NEXT STEPS At this time, Anne Mayer explained the workshop is complete and condensed in to one day so there are no conflicts out of respect and to honor Commissioner Greg Pettis' Celebration of Life held on February 1. She expressed gratitude for the Commissioners thoughts, input, correction, guidance and expressed the Commission is headed down the right path. She confirmed the February 13 Commission meeting is cancelled. At 5:27 p.m., Chair Washington called for a recess until 6:00 p.m. GET ON BOARD AND MEET METROLINK'S NEW CEO Stephanie Wiggins, introduced herself as Metrolink's new CEO and presented an overview of the following areas: • Metrolink in Riverside County: 1) Rider demographics; 2) Metrolink's importance; 3) Rider prospects; 4) Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) Program; 5) Riverside -Downtown station improvements; 6) SCORE improves Metrolink system for the future; 7) Metrolink leads the nation with positive train control; 8) Percentage of miles traveled by county; 9) Key Riverside County initiatives; 10) Future opportunities; and 11) Metrolink powered by clean technology Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes January 31, 2019 Page 20 There being no further business for consideration by the Riverside County Transportation Commission, the workshop adjourned at 7:07 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lisa Mobley Clerk of the Board RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, April 10, 2019 1.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES — MARCH 13, 2019 M/S/C (Berkson/Baca) to approve the March 13, 2019 minutes as submitted. At this time, Commissioners Joey DeConinck, Waymond Ferman, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Clint Lorimore, and Ted Weill joined the meeting. 6. PUBLIC HEARING — 15 EXPRESS LANES CUSTOMER TRANSPONDER ACCOUNT FEE POLICIES AND TOLL POLICIES Jennifer Crosson presented the 15 Express Lanes Customer Transponder Account Fee Policies and Toll Policies, highlighting the following: • Process: o Presented to the Toll Policy and Operations Committee — February 28, 2019 o 10-day Public Notice required o Public Hearing at today's Commission meeting • RCTC Resolution No. 19-003 Amended and Restated 15 Express Lanes Toll Policy Goals and Toll Policies: o Adopted in June 2016 o Includes 24 toll policies needed to develop the project o One of the 24 policies to be considered for amendment — Clean Air Vehicle Discount • Clean Air Vehicle Diagram — California Toll Operators Solution Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) • RCTC Resolution No. 19-004 — 15 Express Lanes Transponder and Customer Account Fees: o Fee Type and Amount: Sticker Transponder Fee - $5; Switchable Transponder Fee - $15; Mailed Paper Statement Fee - $2; Monthly Account Fee $2; Non -Sufficient Funds Check Fee - $25; Account Suspension Fee - $25; and Pay -by -Plate Fee - $2 In response to Commissioner Scott Vinton's inquiry for the pay -by -plate $2 fee, Jennifer Crosson replied each time the customer drives through without their transponder it would only be implemented after a number of transactions occurred and sufficient notice is given to the customer. The goal is to work with the customer to ensure they have a functioning transponder, how to properly mount that transponder, and after that time there is criteria built into the system to put it onto a list for an individual to review it to confirm they should be eligible for the fee. Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 3 In response to Commissioner Vinton's clarification, if there are multiple cars each car needs a transponder, Jennifer Crosson replied correct. In response to Commissioner Ben Benoit's inquiry when the RiversideExpress.com will be accessible to Riverside County customers, Jennifer Crosson replied about April 2020. In response to Commissioner Karen Spiegel's clarification for the difference of the internal and external sticker transponder, Jennifer Crosson replied most customers receives an internal sticker that goes inside the vehicle behind the review mirror. She stated the external sticker transponder is for the Tesla due to the high metal oxide and for motorcycles that goes on the headlamp so the transponder can be read. In response to Commissioner Spiegel's inquiry if there is a limit on the number of stickered transponders per account, Jennifer Crosson replied no one per vehicle is preferred. Commissioner Brian Berkson clarified about the $2 pay -by -plate violation fee each time going through a checkpoint and the problem for the 1-15 Express Lanes is there will be five or six checkpoints, which could be $10 or $12 for one trip. He asked if it is being limited to a $2 maximum per route per direction. Jennifer Crosson stated each toll point is referred to as a transaction and transactions build up to a trip and the $2 would apply to one trip. Commissioner Rusty Bailey clarified not looking closely enough if the projected revenue is coming from the transponder fees and since the Commission needs more people to use this lane suggested giving one transponder for free. He explained in looking at the SR-91 toll revenues the Commission is beyond projected revenue and if the Commission could give one transponder for free to provide some appreciation to the customer it makes the Commission look good. Jennifer Crosson replied she is not sure if she can answer that question if the Commission can do that for free. She explained when working on the 91 revamp of their policies ahead of the 60 transition focus groups were held with customers to test these fees and there was no issue with the $5 transponder fee. There is a cost incurred to purchase these, to mail the package that goes with this and the postage adds up to the $5. She expressed the Commission would not want to give them all free as the customer would ask for more than they need and staff would not want these floating around. Jennifer Crosson noted the idea of the first transponder free really did not occur to staff. Commissioner Bailey stated from a public relations position for getting new customers to sign up a lower barrier entry there even though $5 is not that big of deal. In going through the process of looking at this in the future for the Commission to connect that service and it could be a nice public relations piece. Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 4 Commissioner Larry Smith referred to Commissioner Bailey's suggestion about free transponders and stated there may be another way to achieve this, which would be to credit the customer's account with a $15 credit that initiates the process for them to try the toll lanes. Jennifer Crosson stated the Commission will offer new account holders free tolls for two weeks so they do get a good entry level. She explained the account policies are much more generous than the 91 Express Lanes, it has not been a barrier to opening for 91 Express Lanes, and accounts continue to grow at 500 a week today, which is a big increase then what there was before. She stated there will be some promotional activities that will give them something like a credit. At this time, Chair Washington opened the public hearing and requested if there are any public comments. There were no comments received from the public. In response to Commissioner Keren Spiegel's inquiry if the old transponders will need to be turned in, Jennifer Crosson replied that is for the 91 Express Lanes and this is for the I- 15 Express Lanes. In response to Commissioner Spiegel's clarification how far between the two will the 91 Express Lanes transponders be converted into the stickers, Jennifer Crosson replied that should happen this summer. Commissioner Spiegel asked is that coordinated with the 91 Express Lanes with Orange County all at one time and adding the same transponder sticker and the little switchable with the 1-15 Express Lanes. Jennifer Crosson stated correct, the Commission shares an account base there and the price being proposed today is the same as the 91. In response to Commissioner Spiegel's inquiry about people being concerned that there will be the lack of understanding for the differences between the two, Jennifer Crosson replied Orange County and Riverside County 91 Express Lanes are the same. Commissioner Wes Speake noted in following the 91 Project there will not be a problem marketing this to the public. He expressed the commuters that are currently sitting on I- 15 going north or south depending on the day are going to run at this and he does not see any issues. He stated with seeing some of the projections put forward there should not be any issues attracting enough users and have a similar response the Commission had with the 91 Project. Commissioner Dana Reed moved adoption of both Resolutions Nos. 19-003 and 19-004. Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 5 Commissioner Russell Betts explained when the I-10 Express Lanes were put in place there was an amnesty period that if somebody drove down the lanes and got a traffic ticket they had the option of trading the ticket for a transponder and signing up for the program. He asked if that is envisioned for this system. Jennifer Crosson replied staff has not presented that ordinance or those policies yet, that is to come. Commissioner Betts stated it comes a great easy way to recruit new customers and to get a transponder. Jennifer Crosson stated she understands there is legislation that is prohibiting all toll agencies from marketing to violators at the moment. At this time, Chair Washington closed the public hearing. M/S/C (Baca/Smith) to: 1) Adopt Resolution No. 19-003, "Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Adopting the Amended and Restated Interstate 15 Express Lanes Toll Policy Goals and Toll Policies"; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. 19-004, "Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Regarding the 15 Express Lanes Transponder and Customer Account Fee Policies". 7.

STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Jillian Guizado, Legislative Affairs Manager, presented an update on state and federal legislative activities. In response to Commissioner Spiegel's inquiry about the conversation that led up to AB 626, Jillian Guizado discussed how in the section of law that this bill is seeking to amend applies to public employees and the intent is to identify public employees who may have a financial interest in all different types of matters. She discussed the lawsuit Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 7 that led to the Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) getting involved and have begun to provide opinions to local agencies on their procurements. Steve DeBaun, Legal Counsel, stated the conflict of interest laws establish what is called a remote interest. He explained the courts and the FPPC were finding that an architect or designer, who had worked on an earlier phase of a project and was deemed as a public official under Section 1090, had a remote interest in the project. By allowing them to work on subsequent phases of the project, they had an advantage by designing the project and then using that information to work on subsequent phases of the project. Mr. DeBaun noted the FPPC has not really settled on a position and there have been some recent FPPC decisions that seem to back away from how the FPPC is actually interpreting this but this is very much influx. He stated the American Council of Engineers (ACEC) is trying to firm up the exemption and take it away from the FPPC. In response to Commissioner Vinton's inquiry that they are prohibited to go to the next step in the engineering or the design phase, Jillian Guizado replied she understands that currently they are not prohibited. However when it gets analyzed it goes to the FPPC or it gets challenged then they are citing this court case saying they are in fact prohibited from participating in future phases. Steve DeBaun concurred that is generally accurate and explained the FPPC is somewhat unsettled on this and what ACEC is trying to do is create a bright line rather than leaving it up to the FPPC and potentially local public agencies to make that decision. He explained what is being seen is that local agencies are adopting their own local rules in some case citing the Section 1090 and sometimes citing it incorrectly due to an incorrect analysis. Jillian Guizado stated with that said what the Commission follows particularly as it relates to the Commission's design -build contracts where there is work that needs to be done sort of early on that it is valuable to have that individual be able to participate in future phases. She discussed how the Commission has each sub consultant submit a conflict of interest form if someone who is proposing has participated in a prior phase and how it is reviewed by an entire team to determine if they should be allowed to participate in that next phase or not. In response to Commissioner Vinton's inquiry if AB 626 passes how does that negate exactly what the Commission is currently doing, Jillian Guizado replied the Commission's concern if AB 626 passes having language explicitly in that code section that states engineers, surveyors, and the other individuals listed do not have an interest. She discussed how that individual could point to this section of law noting there is no interest even if the Commission determines there is an interest, therefore creating a conflict between the law and the Commission Procurement Policy. Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 8 In response to Commissioner Vinton's clarification that the Commission could decide not to pursue that individual or that individual firm to move forward whether or not it does not have to be because of a conflict of interest, Jillian Guizado the Commission does not determine who moves forward it is all in who applies. In response to Commissioner Vinton's inquiry if an applicant who was on the preliminary design wants to go forward the Commission could decide that firm cannot move forward as a choice, Steve DeBaun replied the Commission does not have a choice as to who would apply. He stated the Commission cannot set out a request for proposal (RFP) to a group of people and then for an arbitrary decision. Commissioner Vinton clarified he was referring to the ultimate decision once the Commission receives proposals. Steve DeBaun replied there is a process for scoring the proposals and ranking the proposals. If the proposer the Commission was concerned about ranked highest, the Commission could simply not offer the job to that particular proposer for just an arbitrary reason. Jillian Guizado stated that is the concern if that language then gets into state law the Commission is concerned to state there is too big of a conflict here and does not feel comfortable with that individual being on the next phase. She expressed the concern is that individual is going to pull up the law and the law explicitly states they do not have a conflict. Commissioner Vinton expressed concern as it was mentioned this is very ambiguous now and the Commission would want to continue with this ambiguity. In response to Commissioner Jan Harnik's inquiry about the two bills in the state currently moving very rapidly, Jillian Guizado replied the Active Transportation Program, which are AB 1402 and SB 152. Commissioner Harnik clarified what the Commission is trying to support is just the local understanding is taken away now from the locals by this AB 626. Jillian Guizado concurred and stated another way that is preferred is to use the Commission's discretion and staff does their best to not conflict people out as an entire evaluation is conducted to determine is this appropriate and does it make sense. Commissioner Jeffries stated that in this particular one in the Legislature he is having trouble grappling with a real life situation that justifies any position here. He explained potential conflict of interest is being discussed however, he is not aware of actual conflicts of interests that have proven themselves a conflict because a surveyor worked on Phase 1 and wants to work on Phase 2, which is not inherently a conflict as much as it is a business request. Commissioner Jeffries expressed respecting the Commission has a need for self-control and utilizing discretion but when the Commission pre -disqualifies Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 9 someone the Commission does not get to exercise discretion here, it is already determined for the Commission. He then requested some examples of scenarios. Jillian Guizado requested the Commission's Project Delivery Director or the Toll Policy Director to approach the dais to provide some examples. Marlin Feenstra, Project Delivery Director, stated the clearest example is if a designer is working on the design phase of the project and then later the same firm becomes a construction manager in charge of the project. If that firm faces a claim situation with a contractor then that construction management firm would be in a position to advise the Commission whether the cause of the issue is due to their own design, so there may be a financial conflict of interest. Marlin Feenstra clarified it is really about local control and being able to make decisions and currently the Commission makes decisions on a case by case basis on the Commission's judgement based on the situation and to allow as much competition as much as possible. He expressed the bill as proposed would take away the Commission's ability to make any of those decisions. Commissioner Jeffries expressed appreciation for the example as that seems to be a potential conflict and stated the self-control actually leads to trying to have the most competition the most applicants as Mr. Feenstra mentioned since the Commission pre - disqualifies firms from applying, which is actually thinning the field out. He noted respecting this and he will probably support staff's recommendation. Jillian Guizado clarified to Commissioner Jeffries her understanding of how procurements are run is the Commission does not automatically pre -disqualify them. Staff allows them to submit their conflict of interest and it is evaluated on a case -by -case basis. In response to Commissioner Jeffries' clarification who does the evaluation and is it determined before it gets to the Commission, Jillian Guizado replied it is staff's job to do the evaluation at the staff level and bring the recommendations to the Commission. In response to Commissioner Jeffries' inquiry the firms will be listed but will be shown as disqualified or recommended, Marlin Feenstra replied staff works with the procurement department as a group they make those determinations. If a firm is proposing on a certain contract and if they believe they may have a conflict of interest, they will submit a request for a determination in case that firm is not going to be seriously considered. He stated when he mentioned staff tries to allow for the most competition possible what he meant was that staff tries to allow as many firms to compete as possible. Matt Wallace, Procurement Manager, explained when the request for conflict of interests comes in there is a team of Commission staff, project and program management consultants and legal staff weigh in on all these determinations. Ultimately, that decision Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 10 recommendation is provided to Anne Mayer and she makes the formal determination, which is provided back to the sub consultant or consultant requesting determination. In response to Commissioner Lisa Middleton's clarification about adopting an oppose position and if staff worked with the Author of AB 626 to make amendments that would allow the Commission to either support or be neutral, Jillian Guizado replied that is typically the Commission's practice, however in this case the Commission did not. John Standiford replied part of that had to do with the timing, as the Commission would definitely work with the Author's office to communicate the Commission's concerns as this moves forward. Commissioner Ben Benoit stated if that is the case and the Commission is looking to work with the Author, does the Commission consider there is language it can support and if so why would the Commission be taking an oppose unless amended position and provide some recommended support language. Steve DeBaun replied the Commission has draft language that could be presented ensuring local control would be maintained, however this language has not been presented since Commission staff has not reviewed it yet. Commissioner Benoit suggested the recommendation is opposition unless amended and that Commission staff find some language that works with the Commission's current procurement policy. Commissioner Vinton expressed appreciation for Mr. Feenstra's example from design to construction management there is a definite conflict of interest there. He suggested it would be easy when going through the process to say no there is a conflict. He stated he does not see a conflict between a preliminary design and detailed design work for plans, specifications, and estimate in that of itself. Commissioner Speake stated being on the other side as a consultant, they do enter into these conflicts sometimes. He explained one of their clients is Caltrans therefore whenever working on their projects he is not on the design side he usually does the biological studies and permitting. Commissioner Speake discussed when being on a team as a sub consultant there are primes that will not use him, as they do not want to submit a conflict, which can be seen as a negative. He supports Commissioner Benoit's proposed recommendation.

Staff is essentially trying to strike a balance between public safety and the cost concerns and this plan gets to that goal. He stated a 2024 sunset has been identified and it could be revisited sooner, in the mean time staff wanted to address any of the Commissioners concerns, which each one of those areas were addressed. Commissioner Speake expressed appreciation for taking the 511 suggestion very seriously and since the Commission is moving forward with that, he requested as the Commission transitions over to that program to have 511 signage out there for motorists so when they see a motorist they can call. He expressed it is a great program and is looking forward to seeing that all over the County. M/S/C (Berkson/Vargas) to approve modifications to the 2019 Call Box Upgrade and Reduction Plan (CB Plan) approved at the March Commission meeting. No: Zimmerman 11.

Commissioner Smith announced the Commission had approved the SR-60 Truck Lanes Project with great impact coming. He reminded staff to coordinate some informational meetings to those cities in the Pass Area and surrounding that may be impacted by this upcoming project. He expressed appreciation the Commission staff met with his staff and another council member and explained step-by-step of what to expect related to the impacts. John Standiford stated there will be a SR-60 Truck Lanes Project presentation at its May Commission meeting. 12B. Commissioner Zimmerman requested when the Commission meeting adjourns to do so in memory of CHP Sergeant Steve Licon. Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2019 Page 13 12C. Commissioner Rusty Bailey expressed appreciation Aaron Hake, Government Relations Director, presented #ReBootMyCommute at the city of Riverside City Council meeting as it was very well received. He encouraged other Commissioners to have a similar presentation at their city council chambers. Commissioner Bailey announced at the Annual Workshop he mentioned the Santa Ana River Trail and was reminded that CV Link is a great project for Eastern County and the Santa Ana River Trail is another great project that is unfinished in Western Riverside County. There is some funding from the state through the Santa Ana River Conservancy to finish that off and requested staff to report back on the progress and what is left unfinished related to the Santa Ana River Trail. 12D. Commissioner Michael Vargas announced this is the last weekend for Thomas the Train at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in the city of Perris. 12E. Commissioner Harnik stated that regarding #ReBootMyCommute the city of Palm Desert added all the contact information into their citywide newsletter as that information the Commission collects from there is invaluable. She recommended all the cities provide that information to their community members as it is a great asset the Commission. Commissioner Harnik announced May 1-3 is the Southern California Association of Governments' General Assembly held in the city of Palm Desert. 12F. Chair Washington encouraged supporting the mountain communities such as Idyllwild, Pine Cove, and the others that have been affected by the closure of State Highways 243 and 74, which are the most convenient routes used by tourists. He asked Mike Beauchamp, Caltrans District to provide an update on the closure. Mike Beauchamp stated that recently they opened the route from Idyllwild to Lake Fulmore and Caltrans is working 24 hours a day trying to get escort service in the next two to three weeks up SR-74. 13.

I will not be able to be present at the May 8th meeting due tom upcoming Y p g travel schedule. Mr. Barker would like to be heard by the Riverside County Transportation Commission on but this date does not work for me. Can I propose one of the two solutions: A) Go on the docket at a later date in May or earl June. I Y y am available the rest of the month of May. OR B) Have the following written statement read out lou d to the Commission. These questions address Mr. Barker's concerns with the taking. Mr. Barker's statement tement would be the following: Mr. Barker has already gone thru the Eminent Domain process on this property. He understand s that it is the right of the government and/or its agent(s) to expropriate private property for ' p p p y public use with payment of compensation but he believes that there has to be a benefit to the general public based on necessity. Mr Barker would like to know where the necessitywas in taking r from him the first time and then simply n g property p y of doing anything with it. To a layman it appears that there was actually no necessity and no benefit to the general public at all. Could someone explain why it was necessary to make a taking of his property that p y p p y clearly led to no public benefit? Now, 28 years later in 2019, Mr. Barker is being told that the land that was taken was not the right lan d. nd. The land taken from him was taken based on an outdated or "wrong" layout for what is now nece ssary. ry. Cal Trans, the agency that made this taking, clearly did not forecast what would be necessary and have deeded they wanted a different I correctly layout and in turn are completely tearing up the configurations of the current properties. Mr Barker would like a formal response to the questions of necessity and layout. p se questi Please let me know how you would like to proceed but I am not clear what the next ste p should be seeing that there is no way I can be in Riverside on May 8tn Thanks. _Sincerely, -,7gYkk,a, ert LValandra u ©LEO \\991.77i) NI MAR 1 ; nu!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is being asked to consider the adoption of two resolutions of necessity declaring its intent to acquire fee and temporary construction easement interests in all or in portions of certain real property, by eminent domain, more particularly described as Assessor Parcel Nos. Agenda Item 7 1 305-050-051 and 305-050-055 (CPNs 1009 and 1010), and Assessor Parcel No. 305-060-010 (CPN 1012), for the construction of an interchange at the intersection of 1-215 and Placentia Avenue, as part of Mid County Parkway Project (the Project). The immediate need for the property acquisitions is to proceed with the construction of the I-215/Placentia Avenue interchange. The acquisitions are required for and will benefit the community by providing additional lanes on Placentia Avenue between Indian Avenue and Harvill Avenue, as well as a new freeway access point with entrance and exit ramps to 1-215 from Placentia Avenue. Preliminary title reports and/or litigation guarantees were obtained from Commonwealth Title Insurance Company to confirm and identify the record owners of the parcels affected by the Project. The Commission then served the affected property owners with notices of the Commission's decision to appraise the property. The Commission had the properties appraised and made offers to the record owners. Negotiations have been unsuccessful for the purchase of the interests necessary for the Project. The adoption of resolutions of necessity for the interests will not prevent negotiations from continuing. Since an agreement has not been reached with the owners of record, it is necessary to acquire the fee and temporary construction easement interests described in the attachments by eminent domain. The initiation of the eminent domain process is accomplished by the Commission's adoption of resolutions of necessity for the affected property. Description Of Property To Be Acquired: 1. Assessor Parcel Nos. 305-050-051 and 305-050-055 (CPNs 1009 and 1010), the Larger Parcels are owned by Robert Barker and Dorothy Jo Barker, Trustees of the Barker Family Trust. The property is located in Perris, Riverside County, California and has no situs address. The property is a vacant lot located along the east and west sides of East Frontage Road, between Placentia Avenue and Walnut Avenue, in the city of Perris. The design of the Project requires that the Commission acquire both fee and temporary construction interests in both parcels for the construction of the northbound entrance ramp and the realignment of the East Frontage Road. The legal definitions, legal descriptions and plat maps of the portions to be acquired are attached and marked as Exhibit A. 2. Assessor Parcel No. 305-060-010 (CPN 1012) is owned by Chang Z. Kim, Young H. Kim and Grant S. Kim. The property is located in Perris, Riverside County, California and has no situs address. The property is vacant. The design of the Project requires that the Commission acquire the entire parcel to construct the south half of Placentia Avenue as well as the construction of a detention basin for storm water runoff. The legal description and map of the property to be acquired is attached. Agenda Item 7 2 Project Description: 1-215 In and Near Perris from south of Perris Boulevard Undercrossing to north of Oleander Avenue Overcrossing. Propose is to improve the existing Interstate 215 (1-215) by adding an interchange at Placentia Avenue in the City of Perris. The proposed improvements include construction of new northbound and southbound on and off ramps on the east and west side of 1-215 at Placentia Avenue, relocation of the East Frontage Road, removal of the West Frontage Road connection to Placentia Avenue, widen Placentia Avenue bridge and overcrossing from 2 to 6 lanes between Harvill Avenue on the west and Indian Avenue on the east, install High Occupancy Vehicle by pass lane and ramp metering on the on -ramps, construct drainage improvements, install new traffic signals on Placentia Avenue at Harvill Avenue, Indian Avenue, East Frontage Road, and at the ramp intersections, and Install advance freeway overhead signs. Hearings And Required Findings: The action requested of the Commission at the conclusion of this hearing is the adoption of resolutions of necessity, authorizing the acquisition of real property interests by eminent domain. The property owners are: Robert Barker and Dorothy Jo Barker, Trustees of the Barker Family Trust: part acquisition of fee and temporary construction easement interests; Chang Z. Kim, Young H. Kim, and Grant S. Kim: full acquisition in fee. The properties are further identified in the legal definitions, descriptions and depictions attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively. California eminent domain law provides that a public entity may not commence with eminent domain proceedings until its governing body has adopted a resolution of necessity, which resolution may only be adopted after the governing body has given each party with an interest in the affected property, or their representatives, a reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard on the following matters: 1. The public interest and necessity require the proposed project; 2. The project is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; 3. The real property to be acquired is necessary for the project; and 4. The offer of just compensation has been made to the property owner. Notices of the hearing were sent by first class mail to the property owners, and stated the Commission's intent to consider the adoption of resolutions, the right of the property owners to appear and be heard on these issues, and that failure to file a written request to appear would result in a waiver of the right to appear and be heard. The Commission has scheduled this hearing Agenda Item 7 3 at which all persons who filed a written request within 15 days of the date of notice was mailed may appear and be heard. The Commission's legal counsel mailed the required notices to the property owners, on March 7, 2019, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, section 1245.235. The property owners were also invited to meet with Commission and Caltrans staff to address any concerns the property owners may have with the design of the Project in the manner proposed and the necessity of the acquisition. The four required findings are addressed as follows: Finding 1: Public Interest And Necessity Require The Proposed Project The Project will reduce traffic congestion and enhance safety, and will ensure compliance with Caltrans' standards for design. Finding 2: The Project Is Planned Or Located In A Manner That Will Be Most Compatible With The Greatest Public Good And The Least Private Injury A thorough analysis was conducted to find the single best location for this Project. Environmental analyses and findings indicate that these sites uniquely satisfy the engineering, public health, and environmental issues, and these locations are the most compatible with the greatest public good. These locations will result in the least private injury. Finding 3: The Property Sought To Be Acquired Is Necessary For The Proposed Project As described above, a careful analysis was performed regarding these locations and what property and property rights were needed, and these parcels meet all the desired characteristics for the construction of the improvements for the Project. Based on that analysis, the acquisition of the properties is necessary for construction of the Project, Finding 4: The Offer Of Just Compensation Has Been Made Appraisals were prepared by the Commission's appraiser Joyce L. Riggs, MAI, SR/WA, of Riggs & Riggs, Inc., to establish the fair market value of the real property the Commission is seeking to acquire from the interest owned by the property owners identified herein. Offers of just compensation were made to the property owners to purchase the property interests, based on the approved appraisals, as required by Section 7267.2 of the California Government Code. Although negotiated settlements may still be possible, it would be appropriate to commence the procedures to acquire the interests sought through eminent domain, to ensure that the property will be available to meet the time frames associated with the construction of the I-215/Placentia Interchange. Agenda Item 7 4 Environmental Analysis: Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act has been satisfied by the Commission's certification of an Environmental Impact Report in its role as lead agency on April 8, 2015. Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact. Notice of Public Hearing: Notices of Hearing to Property Owners were mailed on March 7, 2019, to Robert Barker; Dorothy Jo Barker; Chang Z. Kim, Young H. Kim, and Grant S. Kim, the owners of record.

Compliance with California Code of Civil Procedure. There has been compliance by the Commission with the requirements of section 1245.235 of the California Code of Civil Procedure regarding notice and hearing. Section 2. Public Use. The public use for the fee interests in the property to be acquired is for the Mid County Parkway Project in Riverside County, California. Section 130220.5 of the California Public Utilities Code authorizes the Commission to acquire, by eminent domain, property necessary for such purposes. 24 Section 3. Description of Property. Attached and marked as Exhibit "A" are the legal description and plat map of the interest to be acquired by the Commission, which describe the general location and extent of the property with sufficient detail for reasonable identification. Section 4. Findings. The Commission hereby finds and determines each of the following: (a) The public interest and necessity require the proposed project; (b) The proposed project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury; (c) The property defined and described in Exhibit "A" is necessary for the proposed project; and (d) The offer required by section 7267.2 of the California Government Code was made. Section 5. Use Not Unreasonably Interfering with Existing Public Use.

The legal descriptions of these easements and rights -of -way are on file with the Commission and describe the general location and extent of the easements and rights -of -way with sufficient detail for reasonable identification. In the event the herein described use or uses will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use as it now exists or may reasonably be expected to exist in the future, counsel for the Commission is authorized to acquire the herein described interest subject to such existing public use pursuant to section 1240.510 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Section 6. More Necessary Public Use. Some or all of the real property affected by the interest to be acquired is subject to easements and rights -of -way appropriated to existing public uses.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff completed the initial budget preparation process and the attached executive summary for the proposed FY 2019/20 Budget. The policy goals and objectives approved by the Commission on March 13 were the basis for this budget. The long-term policy goals that support the Commission's objectives considered during the preparation of the budget relate to promoting quality of life; achieving operational excellence; connecting the economy; being a responsible partner; and maintaining fiscal accountability. Staff will present highlights of significant items included in the budget and is seeking review of an input on the proposed FY 2019/20 Budget. Additionally staff recommends opening of the public hearing on May 8. As a result of input received from the public and the Commission, staff will make the necessary changes to the budget document for the Commission's final review, closing of the public hearing, and adoption at its June 12 Commission meeting. The Commission's budget is primarily project -driven, although the RCTC 91 Express Lanes added a service -driven component upon the commencement of toll operations in March 2017. As a project -driven agency, the Commission accumulates funds, or reserves, for specific projects and programs — resulting in flexibility to adjust project development or programs especially in times of economic downturns. The proposed FY 2019/20 Budget anticipates that total uses will exceed sources by approximately $142.8 million. Similar to prior years, the accumulated reserves, which include bond proceeds issued in FY 2017/18, will fund the deficiency. In the executive summary, Agenda Item 8 31 Table 16 provides a summary of the projected fund balance at June 30, 2020, and tables 17-19 provide a summary of budgeted sources and uses from different perspectives (comparative, operating and capital, and fund). Preliminary funding estimates for transit operating and capital expenditures have been included in the budget, although the draft Short Range Transit Plans are still under review. An adjustment for a revised estimate of these transit expenditures may be included in the final budget document presented in June 2019. A summary of the proposed FY 2019/20 Budget is as follows: FY 2019/20 Budget Revenues and other financing sources: Sales taxes -Measure A and Local Transportation Funds $ 290,000,000 Reimbursements (federal, state, and other) 272,475,800 Transportation Uniform Mitigation Funds, including reimbursements 25,000,000 State Transit Assistance 31,050,600 Tolls, penalties, and fees 41,869,400 Other revenues 553,000 Interest on investments 12,754,300 Debt proceeds 75,703,000 Transfers in 165,207,900 Total revenues and other financing sources 914,614,000 Expenditures and other financing uses: Personnel salaries and fringe benefits 19,396,500 Professional services 25,447,300 Support services 12,383,200 Projects and operations 753,055,300 Capital outlay 5,288,000 Debt service (principal and interest) 76,654,400 Transfers out 165,207,900 Total expenditures and other financing uses 1,057,432,600 Excess (deficiency) of revenues and other financing sources over (under) expenditures and other financing uses (142,818,600) Beginning fund balance (projected) 792,310,100 Ending fund balance (projected) $ 649,491,500 In the proposed FY 2019/20 Budget, staff included approximately $8.1 million to pay off the Commission's estimated net pension liability as of June 30, 2019, which is based on an actuarial valuation. Paying off the net pension liability is projected to save approximately $7.5 million in Agenda Item 8 32 interest charges. Staff intends to present this recommendation for approval at the May Executive Committee meeting, immediately preceding the May Commission meeting. At its June 12 Commission meeting, staff will present the entire budget document with detailed narratives. Attachment: Executive Summary for the Proposed FY 2019/20 Budget Agenda Item 8 33 Executive Summary Introduction The budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019/20 is presented to the Board of Commissioners (Board) and the citizensof Riverside County.

Workforce Mobility Population Growth Economic Impact RCTC improves the economy by creating a robust workforce to workplace system; ROTC helps move the economy of Riverside County. Snce 1976, RCTC hasbeen responsible forconnecting our County'seconomy asthe County'spopulation hasquadrupled from 550,000to 2.3 million today. RCTC hasinvested $4 billion in the County'seconomythanksto Measure A and future toll revenues, which has a multiplier impact in terms of jobs and economic opportunity throughout Riverside County. 34 RESPONSIBLE PA RTN ER Streets and Roads Active Transportation Facilities d state ovemmentsto deliver road and transit pro"ects. RCTC invests in local priorities for maintaining streets and roads and fixing potholes. RCTC is a partner with transit operators to provide residents mobility choices, flexibility, intercity and intercounty connectivity, and access. RCTC is a partner with agencies within the County to promote active transportation alternatives, including the building of regional trails and bicycle and pedestrian facilities in accordance with local general master and active transportation plans. RCTC isa steward of state and federal grantsto improve our communities. RCM invests Measure A dollars into projects and programs that benefit local communitiesthroughout the County. Staff used these core goalsand objectivesto prepare thisbudget and develop the following short-term objectivesto guide furtherthe development of the FY2019/20 budget. Capital Project Development and Delivery • Continue design and construction of the Interstate (I) 15 Express Lanes and development of the 71/91 interchange improvements, State Route(SR) 60truck climbing lanes, and Mid County Parkway projectsincluded in the Western Riverside County Delivery Plan. • Commence development of the 1-15 ExpressLanes—Southem Extension project. • Maintain and enhance communication and collaboration with Caltrans to improve the Commission'sability to deliver critical projects. • Enhance corridor mobility and traveler choice with the operation of the express lanes and development of the next generation toll projects. • Collaborate with local jurisdictions to implement the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (IUMF) regional arterial program projects and facilitate the delivery of eligible arterial improvements in western Riverside County (Western County). • Continue active engagement in state and federal effortsto streamline and modernize the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to improve the Commission'sability to deliver critical projects. Toll Operations • Efficiently operate express lanes and achieve high customer satisfaction through reduction in congestion, mobility improvements, and management of demand. Regional Programs • Maintain an active involvement in state and federal legislative matters to ensure that the Commission receivesproper consideration fortransportation projectsand funding. • Complete the development of a county -wide transportation plan and the first ten-year update of the 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plan, asrequired by the ordinance. • Subsidize reliable and cost-effective Metrolink commuter rail service to and from Riverside County; Southern Califomia Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) isthe operator of Metrolink. • Provide leadership in the planning and development of the Coachella Valley -San Gorgonio Pass corridor rail service. • Support innovative programsthat provide transit assistance in hard to serve rural areasor for riders with special transit needs. • Promote cost controlsand operating efficiency fortransit operators. • Maintain effective partnerships among commuters, employers, and govemment to increase the efficiency of our transportation system by encouraging and promoting motorized and non - motorized transportation alternatives. • Provide a motorist aid system that ensuressafety and convenience to freeway motorists. 35 Management Services • Maintain close communication with Commissioners and educate policy makers on all issues of importance to the Commission. • Develop and execute a communications and public engagement strategy for the purposes of education, information, and customerservice. • Maintain administrative program delivery costs below the policy threshold of 4% of Measure A revenues; the FY2019/20 Management Servicesbudget is1.48%of Measure A revenues. • Maintain administrative salariesand benefitsat lessthan 1%of Measure A revenues; the FY2019/20 administrative salaries and benefits is 0.73% of Measure A revenues before the one-time disbursement to pay off the Commission's California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) net pension liability. The administrative program share of the $8.1 million net pension liability is$2.5 million, or31%. The inclusion of thisone-time disbursement in FY2019/20 results in the administrative salaries and benefits at 1.39%of Measure A revenues; however, the one-time disbursement to pay off the net pension liability is related to the projected benefits to employees for past service. Accordingly, the impact to the administrative salaries and benefitswill be retroactively applied to priorfiscal yearswithout exceeding the 1%limitation in FY2019/20 orpriorfiscal years. • Maintain prudent cash reservesto provide some level of insulation for unplanned expenditures. • Maintain current strong bond ratingswith rating agencies. • Establish and maintain revenues and reserves generated from toll operations to be available for debt service in accordance with toll supported debt agreements; maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, administration and operations; and capital projectswithin the corridor.

Riverside County's economy is benefitting from employment gains that are a function of the County's ability to attract businegms with lower commercial rents and a skilled labor force. Population migration to the Inland Empire (i.e., Riverside and San Bernardino counties) has occurred due to these employment opportunities and a lower cost of living compared to the coastal counties. Improvements in the local labor market and housing advantages have increased economic activity contributing to stable sales tax revenue growth asnoted on Chart 3.

The Commission's economic outlook for FY2019/20 continues to be cautiously optimistic; however, availability of state and federal funds could affect funding of the Commission's capital projects and programs. Should Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues fluctuate and the availability of federal and state revenues continue to be uncertain, the timing and scope of the Commission's projects and programs may be impacted. Regardlessof the future economic conditions, the Commission facesformidable ongoing challengesin termsof providing needed infrastructure enhancementsto support a population and an economy that has outgrown the capacity of its existing infrastructure. Fortunately, the foundation of the regional economy continuesto retain many of the fundamental positive attributesthat fueled itsearlier growth, including lower priced real estate with proximity to coastal communities, a large pool of skilled workers, and increasing wealth and education levels. While the Commission's primary revenues are the Measure A and LTF sales taxes, other revenues and financing sources are required to fund the Commission's programs and projects as illustrated in Chart 4. 37 Chart 4 —Sources: Major Categories Transfers In Inve3mentIncome 1° Tolls, Penalties, and Fees5% lUM FRevenue Debt Proceed :% % Intergovemmenta130% Measure A Sales Tax 21% L1FSales Tax 11% SRC. SaIesTax 3% The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), asstatutorily created and authorized successor to the former California State Board of Equalization, recently provided to cities and other agencies its projections that statewide taxable sales over the next fiscal year will increase 3.6%. Continuing its conservative projection practices, the Commission also considers short- and long-term sales tax projections from its consultants to estimate sales tax revenues. After taking the state of the local economy, recent revenue trends, and the impact of CDTFA new automation system delays into consideration, staff projects Measure A sales tax revenues of $193,000,000 for FY 2019/20. This is a 1% increase from the FY 2018/19 revised projection of $192,000,000, which reflects FY 2017/18 sales tax revenues proceed in FY 2018/19 due to CDTFA's new system implementation issues. These issues caused a backlog of unproce%-rd salestax retumsat the end of FY2017/18 that were proceed and reflected in FY2018/19. At midyearthe Commission will reascPsssalestax revenue projectionsba%d on the economy and revenue trends. On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the L1F for public transportation needs, local streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of LTF funding received by the County and available for allocation is distributed to all public transit operators in the County, and the Commission receives allocationsforadministration, planning, and programming in addition to funding for Western County rail operationsincluded in the commuter rail S#iort Range Transit Plan (SR -FP). The L1F sales tax revenue received from the State is budgeted at $97,000,000, an increase of 1%from the FY 2018/19 revised projection of$96,000,000. LTFsalestaxrevenuesin FY2017/18 and FY2018/19were also impacted by the CDTFA implementation issues. A statewide sales tax on motor vehicle diesel fuel generates STA funds, which the State Controller allocates by formula to the Commission for allocations to the County's public transit operators. Beginning in FY2017/18, Senate Bill (SB) 1 provides additional STA revenues, also referred to as State of Good Repair (SGR), for transit maintenance, rehabilitation, and capital projects. The FY 2019/20 STA/SGRallocations, based on recent State estimates, is$31,050,600. 38 Intergovernmental revenuesinclude reimbursement revenuesfrom federal sourcesof$88,718,700, state sources of $173,799,200, and local agencies of $9,957,900 for highway and rail capital projects, rail operationsand station maintenance, commuter assistance, and motorist assistance programsaswell as planning and programming activities. The increase of 9%in FY2019/20 compared to the FY2018/19 budget is related to increases in state and federal reimbursements offset by a decrease in local reimbursements. SB 132 providesstate funding forthe 15/91 ExpressLanesconnector and pass -through funding to the County forthe I-15/Limonite interchange and Hamner Bridge widening and to the County and city of Corona forgrade separation projects. Otherstate reimbursementswill fund the State Route (SR) 60 truck lanes, Pachappa underpass, and station rehabilitation projects. Federal reimbursements provide funding for the 1-15 Express Lanes, 1-15 Express Lanes— Southern Extension, SR60 truck lanes, Pachappa underpass, and station rehabilitation projects. Reimbursement revenuesvary from year to year depending on project activitiesand funding levels. Based on an amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the Commission receives 45.7% of TUMF revenues (as updated by the most recent Nexusstudy). TUMFrepresentsfeesa-mid on new residential and commercial development in Western County. The Commission projects FY2019/20 TUMFfees will remain flat at $25,000,000. The 4%decrease is related to additional TUMF zone reimbursementsfor the Lake Elsinore Railroad Canyon project in FY2018/19. FY 2018/19 marked the second complete fiscal year of toll operations for the RCTC 91 Express Lanes following substantial completion of the 91 Project in March 2017. Since toll revenues surpasscd 2013 financing assumptions, the Commission obtained an updated Riverside County 91 Express Lanes Extension Investment Grade Traffic and Revenue Study in December 2018. The Commission conservatively estimates FY 2019/20 toll revenues of $41,869,400 based on current operations and the updated study. Other revenue of $553,000 includes property management generated from properties acquired in connection with varioushighway and rail properties. The Commission anticipates a 274% increase in FY 2019/20 investment income due to extremely conservative investment yield projections in the FY 2018/19 budget. The FY 2019/20 budget projects investment income at a 2%investment yield, compared to lessthan 1%in prior year budgets. Transfers in of $165,207,900 relate primarily to the transfer of available debt proceeds for highway projects; LTFfunding forgeneral administration, planning and programming, rail operations, and grade separation project allocations; approved interfund allocationsfor specific projects and administrative cost allocations; and debt service requirementsfrom highway, regional arterial, and local streets and roads funds. Debt proceeds consist of $75,703,000 in drawdowns from the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (T1FiA) loan related to the 1-15 Express Lanes project.
