Chand, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Receive and file the quarterly financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2002; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the first nine months of the fiscal year, staff has monitored the revenues and expenditures of the Commission. The attached financial statements show the revenues and expenditures incurred in the first nine months of the fiscal year. On a linear basis, we have completed 75% of the fiscal year. At the end of the quarter, Administration expenditures are 17% under budget. The primary reason for the Commission incurring less expenditures are cuts in consulting services and timing of invoices currently being processed. Staff has some legal invoices and invoices for consulting services that were processed in April. Debt Service is paid in December and June and staff expects that the entire budget will be spent at the end of the fiscal year. Intergovernmental Expenditures are_ incurred early in the year and, as such, staff expects the expenditures to remain within the budget. Expenditures in the Program/Projects are below budget, however, these expenditures are related to progress on projects and staff expects that these funds will be spent as projects are completed. The Revenues have exceeded expectations and at the end of the March 2002, Measure A revenues were 6% higher than the same time last year. Staff expects to complete the fiscal year with Measure A revenues increasing 4-6% from prior fiscal year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Under SB 45 the California Transportation Commission established a process whereby projects programmed by regional agencies such as the RCTC and delivered by Caltrans would have a process to follow in completing the project and closing out the contract. This process is identified in the CTC State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Guidelines. Under the guidelines once a project is "voted" by CTC any cost increases due to change orders and contractor claims is generally addressed through the provision of additional funds under CTC Resolution G12 which can provide a maximum of $200,000 plus 10% of the voted share amounts. Any cost increases over the G12 funding limitation is to be "shared" on the basis of how the agencies (either Caltrans or RCTC) may have proportionally funded the project. This type of request is called a Supplemental Fund Request. The one thing of note is while the request is initiated by Caltrans and can impact RCTC STIP funding shares, it does not require the approval of the RCTC. This is simply a contract close out procedure and while this experience has a direct financial impact, CTC, at the time of implementing SB 45, had to develop a process which determines how additional funds, if necessary, would be provided for a project. 000013 For your information there are several projects where RCTC and -ealtrans have combined resources to program projects for delivery. Attached is a Supplemental Fund Request for the Route 60 Valley Way to University Ave project. This project has exhausted the G12 funding ($3.148 million was previously approved by CTC for the project) and Caltrans as lead agency for delivering this project had several contractors working on the project at the same time. In addition, Caltrans had issues related to the design of the project. The reason for two contractors on the project is related to the structure/bridge work being split out as a seismic retrofit project and the roadway work for the addition of 4 lanes being carried out as a separate contract. The bottom line is that while this request is for a total of $1.5 million of funds ($1.2 million RCTC Regional Improvement Program funds; $300k of Caltrans SHOPP funds) it is expected that finalization of the claims and change orders will take time and when resolved will likely have a further impact on reducing unprogrammed Western County Regional Improvement Program funds. For your information the RCTC has $80.767 million of unprogrammed Western County Formula funds which are committed to the last segment of Route 91 Mary Street to Seventh Street (HOV lane) project. This action as proposed by Caltrans will reduce that commitment to $79.767 million with the expectation that there will be additional costs for the Route 60 project to come forward when settlement is reached with the contractors. It is anticipated that this Supplemental Fund Request for $1.5 million will be voted by CTC at their June 2002 meeting.

The supplemental funds are required in order to resolve several Notices of Potential Claims (NOPC) the most expensive of which were delays and conflicts with an adjoining contract ($1,200,000) as shown on attachment. Several contract change orders were required due to differing site conditions and work was added for a median extension, including an increase in the number of concrete slabs replaced, increased landscaping work, extending soundwalls and other related costs. Copies of the G-12 Majors (97-632, 97-633, 99-595 and 00-487,) a copy of the Request for Additional Funds from the District Construction Branch and a Supplemental Vote Fact Sheet are all attached for your reference. The District recommends approval of this request for $1,500,000 to allow payment to the contractor in order to avoid future escalated claims with unnecessary additional cost of interest and other fees. The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) has been informed that the STIP portion of this request ($1,200,000) will be funded from their STIP share balance. This request of $1,500,000 is based on resolving several NOPCs that have been justified by audit or have been determined to have entitlement. An additional supplemental vote may be necessary in the future, in the event that an arbitration settlement awards additional compensation to the Contractor. It is further recommended that the Commission be requested to vote these funds at the May 2002 meeting. /S/ GARRY COHOE GARRY COHOE Deputy District Director Program/Project Management SLH:mc Attachments 1.

The discrepancyibetween the contract plans and site conditions resulted in several number of contract change orders (CCO)_ Some of the CCO are.being protested by the contractor and expected to cost much more than originally anticipated due to actual field conditions. The Resident Engineer, Designers, Maintenance and District Safety Review Committee requested the CCO with the concurrence of the Senior Construction Engineer, the Project Manager, Designers, Headquarters, Federal Highway Administration and others as needed. Without these CCO, the originally planned work could not have been completed as scoped.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff is in the process of updating the estimated budget for the Measure A Route 74 project. Staff anticipates completion of property appraisals and estimates for mitigation required as part of the environmental process. It is expected that the majority of appraisals will be completed by the end of April. Staff will update the Committee on the progress of updating the budget at the April 22nd meeting but anticipates this item not being complete at that time. Staff will recommend taking the updated budget information for Route 74 directly to the Commission at its May 8, 2002 meeting. 000020 AGENDA ITEM 8 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Construction Manager Dennis Mejia, Bechtel Resident/Office Engineer THROUGH: Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT• ' Advertise Bids for the Construction of the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink Station Parking Lot Expansion STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Authorize staff to advertise bids for construction of the parking lot expansion at the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink Station; 2) Bring back to the Commission the results of the bidding for contract award to the lowest, responsive bidder; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the May 9, 2001 RCTC Meeting, the Commission approved the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to address policy issues identified in the draft Station Management Plan, submitted to the Commission at the same meeting. One of the main findings of the draft Station Management Plan was that by 2010, five out of the six, existing and proposed, Metrolink stations are forecasted to have parking deficits. In conjunction with direction from both the Commission and the newly formed Ad Hoc Committee, staff negotiated with several entities for the possible expansion of existing and proposed parking for the Riverside -La Sierra and Riverside -Downtown Metrolink commuter rail stations. At its September 10, 2001 meeting, the Commission authorized staff to advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Consultant to provide Engineering and Environmental Services to develop and implement a Parking Lot Expansion Plan, mainly for the existing Riverside -La Sierra and Riverside -Downtown Metrolink stations. On November 14, 2001 the Commission entered into Agreement #02-33-029 with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc. (ER), to provide Engineering and Environmental Services for development and implementation of a Parking Lot Expansion Plan for the existing two stations. - ,-. ,0 0�0,9 21 Engineering Resources developed two options for expanding the parking lot at the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink Station. Option #1: The first option was to develop the existing RCTC's triangular property, directly north and adjacent to the Riverside -Downtown Station temporary parking area, across Vine Street. This option would add approximately 125 to 140 additional parking spaces for the station. This option could be developed and constructed very quickly for a minimum cost. It must be noted that this RCTC property is anticipated to be needed for the future expansion of Route 91. It is currently projected that the expansion of Route 91 will not occur, in this area, for more than 5 years. Option #2: The second option was to investigate the viability of purchasing and developing the properties along Tenth Street and Commerce Street, adjacent to the east end of the Riverside -Downtown Station south side platform. This option would add approximately 390 to 430 additional surface parking spaces for the station. In a preliminary investigation of this option, it was also determined to be a viable option for a future parking structure that would serve the long term parking needs. RCTC staff is currently looking deeper into this option. In March of this year, staff directed Engineering Resources to proceed with the development of the preparation of a complete PS&E and other tasks related to the City of Riverside's design review process for Option #1. The PS&E will be submitted to the City of Riverside on April 15, 2002 for review and comments. It is anticipated that the PS&E package will be ready for advertisement by May 20, 2002. The preliminary Engineer's Estimate for Option #1, for the Riverside -Downtown Parking Lot Expansion Project, is in the range of approximately $200,000 to $225,000. 000022 AGENDA ITEM 9 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Construction Manager Erik Galloway, Bechtel Resident Engineer THROUGH: Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Advertise Bids to Construct the Riverside -La Sierra Station Phase 1 Parking Lot Expansion Project Metrolink STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Authorize staff to advertise bids for the construction of the Riverside - La Sierra Metrolink Station Phase 1 Parking Lot Expansion; 2) Bring back to the Commission the results of the bidding for contract award to the lowest, responsive bidder; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the May 9, 2001 RCTC Meeting, the Commission approved the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to address policy issues identified in the draft Station Management Plan, submitted to the Commission at the same meeting. One of the main findings of the draft Station Management Plan was that by 2010, five out of the six, existing and proposed, Metrolink stations are forecasted to have parking deficits. In conjunction with direction from both the Commission and the newly formed Ad Hoc Committee, staff negotiated with several entities for the possible expansion of existing and proposed parking for the Riverside -La Sierra and Riverside -Downtown Metrolink commuter rail stations.

On November 14, 2001 the Commission entered into Agreement #02-33-029 with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., to provide Engineering and Environmental Services for development and implementation of a Parking Lot Expansion Plan for the existing two stations. - 000023 RCTC is currently in negotiations with the Riverside Community College (RCC) to purchase the entire 20 acre parcel which includes the property which RCTC currently leases from RCC for the existing Riverside -La Sierra Metrolink station. In the process of developing the Parking Lot Expansion Plan for the station, it was mutually agreed, by the City of Riverside Planning staff and RCTC staff, to construct the additional parking for the Riverside -La Sierra station in the following two (2) phases: Phase I: To ease the immediate parking problem at the Riverside -La Sierra station, RCTC staff working in conjunction with RCC, had previously developed, submitted, and received the City of Riverside's approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), on April 10, 2000, for a temporary parking lot, adjacent and to the west of the existing station. At the request of RCC, the plans for the temporary parking using the RCC property were abandoned and RCTC staff had to look for other ways to resolve the station parking at the Riverside -La Sierra station. RCTC staff subsequently negotiated with an adjacent bowling alley facility to provide additional parking. The adjacent bowling alley is still used for additional parking today at a cost of $1,075 per month and requires RTA to run special service to transport the passengers using this parking location back to the station platform. This auxiliary parking lot also requires the added cost of having a separate guard for security. In discussions with the City of Riverside Planning staff, it was determined that the previously approved CUP, for the Riverside -La Sierra Station Temporary Parking Lot Expansion using the RCC property, could be resurrected, and revised to allow for a permanent expansion of the parking lot as long as the permanent facility was within the footprint of the previously approved temporary facility. This would save several months in gaining City approval. This along with other mitigating issues possibly requiring a prolonged period of time to gain the City of Riverside approval, was the reasoning behind splitting the Riverside -La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion Project in two (2) phases. The Phase I Permanent Parking Lot revised CUP was approved by the City of Riverside in March of 2002. The Phase I permanent parking area will provide an additional 254 parking spaces. The station currently has 343 parking spaces. The Phase I parking expansion will bring the total number of spaces to 597. Phase II: This Phase will provide for an additional 400 parking spaces. This phase will require an additional entrance to be located at the east end of the station and widening of 000024 the existing Indiana Avenue entrance. Phase II will bring the total number of parking spaces to 997. It is anticipated that construction will start on the Phase II parking lot expansion at the completion of Phase I, which is scheduled for the end of Summer of 2002. Staff has been working with Engineering Resources to develop the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the Phase I Riverside -La Sierra Metrolink Station Parking Lot Expansion Project. The PS&E will be submitted to the City of Riverside on April 15, 2002 for review and comments. It is anticipated that the PS&E package will be ready for advertisement by May 20, 2002. In conjunction with developing the design for Phase I, staff has been coordinating with the City of Riverside for the inclusion of the construction of a Solar Panel Parking Stall Project with the construction of the Phase I Project. A separate agenda item will be presented to the Committee for approval to include the City of Riverside Solar Project with the Phase I Riverside -La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion Construction Project. The Engineer's estimate for the Phase I Project, is in the range of approximately $750,000 to $800,000. 000025 AGENDA ITEM 10 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Construction Manager Dennis Mejia, Bechtel Resident/Office Engineer THROUGH: Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Advertise Bids for Construction of an Extension of the Existing Emergency Platform at the Pedley Metrolink Station STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Enter into a Project Construction Program Supplement to obligate STPL funding for construction of an extension of the existing Emergency Passenger Unloading Platform at the Pedley Metrolink Station; 2) Authorize the Chairman, subject to Legal Counsel review, to execute the Supplement on behalf of the Commission; 3) Authorize staff to advertise bids for construction of an extension of the existing Emergency Passenger Unloading Platform at the Pedley Metrolink Station, contingent upon finalization of the Project Construction Program Supplement and receipt of the Authorization to Proceed with Construction from the Caltrans Office of Local Assistance; 4) Bring back to the Commission the results of the bidding for contract award to the lowest, responsive bidder; and 5) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When the Pedley Metrolink Station was constructed, an emergency passenger unloading platform was included in the original station construction. This emergency passenger unloading platform is 194 feet long, located between two sets of Union Pacific tracks, and is intended to be used during situations where Metrolink passengers need to disembark from the set of tracks furthest away from the Station's main platform. Because the existing emergency passenger unloading platform is only 194 feet long, it will not easily accommodate Metrolink passenger trains over three (3) cars in length. Currently, Metrolink trains longer than three (3) cars in length must first stop and unload passengers from the first set of cars and then pull forward to unload the remaining cars. This has resulted in impacts to the freight traffic on this rail line. Extending the emergency passenger unloading platform to match the lengili f { i 000026 Metrolink trains, up to six (6) cars in length, will minimize the delays to unload passengers when the emergency platform must be used. In February 2001, the Commission amended Contract No. RO-9952, with PB Farradyne, to develop the Final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) Design for the Emergency Passenger Unloading Platform extension at the Pedley Metrolink Station. Staff and PB Farradyne have been working cooperatively with the Union Pacific Railroad and SCRRA in the development of the PS&E for the Pedley Emergency Passenger Unloading Platform Extension Project. It is anticipated that the final PS&E will be completed by the end of April, 2002. The majority of the funding for this project is STPL Federal Funding. To retain the STPL Federal Funding, for this project, a Program Supplement Agreement must be entered into by RCTC and Caltrans. The Program Supplement amends the Agency -State Agreement for Federal -Aid Projects No. 08-6054 to specifically describe the costs and special conditions that apply to the construction phase for the Pedley Emergency Passenger Unloading Platform Extension Project. After the PS&E for the project is completed, a Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction will be submitted to the Caltrans Office of Local Assistance. The Program Supplement Agreement will then be finalized by RCTC and Caltrans. The subsequent Authorization to Proceed/Obligation of Federal Funds will be the basis for the financial responsibilities to be outlined in the Program Supplement. This action is being brought forward to the Committee at this time in an effort to have funds obligated prior to the federal expiration date of June 30, 2002. The Engineer's Estimate for the Pedley emergency passenger platform extension Project, is in the range of approximately $200,000 to $250,000. 000027 AGENDA ITEM 11 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl I Sauer, Bechtel Construction Manager Dennis Mejia, Bechtel Resident/Office Engineer THROUGH: Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Advertise Bids for Construction of a Closed -Circuit Television Security System at the Pedley Metrolink Station STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Enter into a Project Construction Program Supplement to obligate CMAQ funding for construction of a CCTV Security System at the Pedley Metrolink Station with a data link to the monitoring facilities at the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink Station; 2) Authorize the Chairman, pursuant to Legal Counsel review, to execute the Supplement on behalf of the Commission; 3) Authorize staff to advertise bids for construction of a CCTV Security System at the Pedley Metrolink Station including data links to monitoring facilities at the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink Station, contingent upon finalization of the Project Construction Program Supplement and receipt of the Authorization to Proceed with Construction from the Caltrans Office of Local Assistance; 4) Bring back to the Commission the results of the bidding for contract award to the lowest, responsive bidder; and 5) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1999, with the completion of the South Side Platform/ Pedestrian Overcrossing Project, the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink station was retrofitted with a Closed - Circuit Television (CCTV) Security System. The improvements to the Riverside - Downtown Station included a master monitoring console that would receive the images from the other Riverside County Metrolink stations. This would allow a single person to be able to monitor each of the stations CCTV systems from one location. The Commission has also authorized the retrofitting of both the Riverside -La Sierra and West Corona Metrolink stations with a CCTV Security System. By providing 24 hour monitoring and video recording, and centralizin.g the security system, RCTC will enhance the security currently provided by the station guards already provided at the various Metrolink Stations operated by RCTC. ' ''J f_+ ' t 00 0112I In December of 1999, the Commission awarded Contract No. R0-9952, to PB Farradyne, Inc. to perform a Phase I Communications Study to develop the most cost effective means to provide a CCTV Security System at the Pedley Metrolink Station and the means to connect the Pedley CCTV Security System to the Main Security System located at the Riverside -Downtown Metrolink Station. The results of the Phase I Communications Study produced by PB Farradyne was that the most economical way to connect the Pedley Metrolink Station CCTV Security System to the Riverside -Downtown Monitoring Facility was via a telephone T1 connection. RCTC staff concurred with this finding and in July 2001, staff recommended and the Commission authorized the Executive Director to amend Contract No. RO-9952 with PB Farradyne to proceed with the development of Final Engineering Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for a CCTV Security System at the Pedley Metrolink Station, based on the findings of the Phase I Communications Study. Staff and PB Farradyne have been working cooperatively with the Union Pacific Railroad and SCRRA in the development of the PS&E for the Pedley CCTV Security System Project. It is anticipated that the Final Pedley CCTV Security System PS&E will be completed by end of April, 2002. The majority of the funding for this project is CMAQ federal funding. To retain the CMAQ federal funding for this project, a Program Supplement Agreement must be entered into by RCTC and Caltrans. The Program Supplement amends the Agency - State Agreement for Federal -Aid Projects No. 08-6054 to specifically describe the costs and special conditions that apply to the construction phase for the Pedley CCTV Security System Project. After the PS&E for the project is completed, a Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction will be submitted to the Caltrans Office of Local Assistance. The Program Supplement Agreement can than be finalized by RCTC and Caltrans. The subsequent Authorization to Proceed and Obligation of Federal Funds will be the basis for the financial responsibilities to be outlined in the Program Supplement. This action is being brought forward to the Committee at this time in an effort to have funds obligated prior to the federal expiration date of June 30, 2002. The Engineer's Estimate for the Pedley CCTV Security system Project, is in the range of approximately $200,000 to $225,000. 000029 AGENDA ITEM 12 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Ivan M.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff has gone through the budget process and attached is an executive summary outlining the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2002-2003. The goals and objectives approved by the Commission on March 13, 2003, were the basis of this budget. The goals and objectives considered during the preparation of the budget are mobility, goods movement, congestion relief and safety improvements, air quality, economic development, intermodalism and accessibility, technological innovation, and public and agency communications. Staff is seeking review and input at the Committee meeting and will then forward the item to the Commission, at which time a public hearing regarding the budget is scheduled. Based on input received from Commissioners and other interested parties, staff will update the document and present the final budget for the Commission's review and adoption in June immediately following the close of a public hearing period. Attached is the executive summary for the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2002- 2003. This document contains a summary of all departmental budgets and summarizes the information for the entire Commission. The department budgets present the goals and objectives, the resources needed to accomplish the goal and the appropriation required to accomplish the tasks. At the May 2002 Committee meeting, and the June Commission meeting, staff will present the entire budget with detailed narratives. Staff has also included the fund budgets which examine the budgeted revenue and expenditures from a fund perspective. '00,00 0 3 2 A summary of the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 is as follows: Revenues $142,800,400 Personnel salary and fringe benefits 2,528,200 Professional 2,865,600 Support 2,086,400 Projects and Operations 115,584,100 Capital Outlay 332,000 Debt Service 35,551,000 Total Expenditures $158,947,300 Beginning Fund Balance Ending Fund Balance $151,867,774 $135,720,874 Attachments: FY 02-03 Proposed Budget Executive Summary 0000 33 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The budget for FY 2002-03 is presented to the Commissioners and the citizens of Riverside County. The Budget outlines the projects the Commission would like to complete during the year and appropriates expenditures to accomplish these tasks. The budget also shows the revenues and fund balances that will be used to complete these tasks. This budget document will serve as the Commission's monetary guideline. Staff has included descriptive information regarding each department and major projects. The discussion in each department/program area includes a review of major initiatives and key assumptions. Though the budget is a very comprehensive document, staff believes its value and usefulness to readers has been enhanced by these features. Staff has used the goals and objectives approved at the Commission meeting on March 13, 2002 to prepare the budget. In addition to the Commission's long term goals and strategic plan, the short term factors listed below were used to guide the development of the Budget: Operational • Continue planning the extension of Measure A and work on a transition plan between the two measures. • Continue the Commission mandate of a lean, non -layered staff structure. • Improve on the skills and training of all levels of staff. • Improve communication with Commissioners and educate policy makers on all issues of importance to the Commission. • Continue Commission involvement in the Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) • Improve utilization and increase efficiency of commuter rail lines serving the County. • Support innovative programs which provide transit assistance in hard to serve rural areas. • Encourage greater department and staff involvement in budget development and accountability for budget performance. Financial • Maintain administrative costs below the policy threshold of 4%. The current Management Services budget is 3.11% of Measure A revenues. • Continue to maintain prudent reserves to provide some level of insulation for unplanned expenditures. • Maintain current positive rating with rating agencies. • Look for opportunities, funding sources, and innovative approaches to address transportation needs that extend beyond Measure A. • Move forward on Measure A projects for highways and regional arterials using both sales tax revenues and State and Federal funding. • Leverage and protect past Measure A investments in rail to obtain State and Federal funding for additional rail -improvements. 000034 Budget Overview Revenues Other Revenue 1% Investment SAFE Fees Income 1% 3% Reimbursements 25% Other Sales Tax 5% Measure A Sales Tax 65% Total revenues are budgeted at $142,800,400, which is an increase of 19.3% over projected revenues and a 1.3% decrease from last year's budget. The projected fund balance at June 30, 2002 available for expenditures, (exclusive of debt service reserves of $57,138,700, loans receivables for $959,400, and prepaid lease for $981,700) is $92,788,000. Total funding sources available for FY 02/03 budget amount to $235,588,400. Commission Revenue Trend $160,000,000 $140,000,000 $120,000,000 - $100,000,000 - $80,000,000 $60,000,000 - $40,000,000 - $20,000,000 - FY 00/01 FY 01/02 FY 02/03 FISCAL YEARS i Investment Income o Other Revenue Reimbursements • Sales Tax Revenues After performing a trend analysis and taking into account local economic factors, staff has projected a 6% increase in Measure A sales tax revenues. This projection is based on FY 01/02 receipts and trend analysis. The Commission is aware of the problems facing the State of California economy; however, Riverside County continues to grow due to population increase and a wider base in its economic engine. The other revenue categories are budgeted at lower amounts than prior year. Local Transportation Funds (LTF) are lower, however, the Commission receives reimbursements for projects completed as the 000035 ,s; t(ii*l') Sales tax itself is received as Local Transportation Funds. Local Transportation funds are also projected to increase by 6% and these funds will be distributed to all the Transit operators in the county. Reimbursements are down as the Commission invoices Federal, State and Local agencies based on projects completed. Federal sources will fund rail capital and other capital projects. Investment Income will be lower due to several factors. The current economic environment provides lower interest earnings as the Federal Reserve has lowered raters. In addition, the primary source of the interest income was interest on proceeds of the Construction fund used to fund Route 74. As the project is built, the funds are being utilized, thus resulting in lower interest revenues. Staff continues to actively manage its resources and make appropriate investments to maximize the return to the Commission. Other Revenue consists of miscellaneous revenues that the Commission receives. This revenue category is also projected to be lower.

The Debt Service amount for this year is $35,551,000. Administrative costs are budgeted at $4,205,300 and program expenditures total $119,191,000. Program costs have decreased 5.7% from $126,509,715 to $119,191,000. This decrease is minimal as the Commission continues to maintain the funding levels and programs it currently oversees. Reductions in proposed budgets for several programs are not a ``660436 reflection of the service level. The Regional Arterial program shows a reduction as all reserves were utilized in FY 01/02 and expenditures budgeted in FY 02/03 are for revenues received in the budgeted fiscal year. Similarly in the Transit program, transit operators used reserves from prior years in FY 01/02 and do not intend to use the same amount in FY 02/03.

Chand, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: TDA/Measure A Audit Results STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Receive and file the responses to the suggestions for improvement as presented by Ernst and Young; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As part of the annual Measure A/TDA audit, Ernst and Young reviewed the policies and procedures of the Commission and the agencies receiving the funds. Based on their FY 2000-01 review, Ernst and Young listed four suggestions for improvement. The audits for most of these agencies were presented to the Commission on March 13, 2002. At that time, staff stated that a written response would be brought back to the Commission for their review. Suggestion 1 Adopt a more precise policy for TDA claimants and Measure A recipients relating to overhead allocation. The policy should address the requirements that the overhead allocation must be based on actual costs, not budgeted costs and that the overhead expense must be listed as a project on the approved Measure A five-year capital improvement plan. Any policy clarifications should be timely communicated to all TDA claimants and Measure A recipients. Commission Response On July 11, 2001, the Commission adopted a policy relating to Overhead Allocation. The policy outlined the requirements and conditions for allowing overhead allocation. Staff is presenting a separate agenda item to modify the policy and bring before the Commission a more precise policy requiring the recipients to update their budgeted or estimated allocations to actual at the end of the year. } ' i t J u00048 Suggestion 2 Adopt a process regarding more timely follow up with the various TDA claimants and Measure A recipients regarding resolution of compliance issues and questioned costs reported within the audited financial statements. Commission Response Effective with the FY 2001-02 audit, staff will adopt a process to resolve open matters within 90 days of the receipt of the audit report. Suggestion 3 Adopt a policy relating to the completion of each Article 3 project to request a final report from each city which would provide detail of the final costs of the project and the related funds used to pay for the Article 3 project. Since the TDA claimant may request disbursement of the Article 3 funds approved by the Commission as soon as the Article 3 project is approved, the Commission should ensure that a final accounting of the Article 3 funds be made to the Commission. Any unspent Article 3 grant funds and any interest earned upon the Article 3 funds that was not needed to pay for the completion of the Article 3 project should be remitted back to the Commission. Commission Response As part of the new call for projects to be issued in the later part of the year, staff will incorporate this suggestion into the criteria and set up a process to review the final costs. Suggestion 4 Revise Measure A five-year capital improvement plan requirements to include descriptions of specific projects rather than listing general street improvement projects on the five-year capital improvement plan. Commission Response Staff has informed Ernst and Young that this suggestion would make the process very cumbersome for the recipients and reduce the flexibility they currently enjoy and maintaining streets and roads as needed. Ernst and Young has agreed to remove this suggestion next year. 000049 AGENDA ITEM 15 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Ivan M. Chand, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Overhead Allocation Policy Amendment STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Amend the Overhead Allocation Policy; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On July 11, 2002, the Commission approved a policy for Overhead Allocation. Ernst and Young has requested an amendment to this policy to clarify it further. The suggestion made is "Adopt a more precise policy for TDA claimants and Measure A recipients relating to overhead allocation. The policy should address the requirements that the overhead allocation must be based on actual costs, not budgeted costs and that the overhead expense must be listed as a project on the approved Measure A five-year capital improvement plan. Any policy clarifications should be timely communicated to all TDA claimants and Measure A recipients." Based on the above, staff is suggesting that the following item be added to the current policy. Item 4 Recipients of TDA/Measure A funds that allocate overhead are required to true up their actual costs to the estimated or budgeted costs. This process should be completed within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. 000050 AGENDA ITEM 16 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Jerry Rivera, Program Manager THROUGH: Marilyn Williams, Director of Regional Programs and Public Affairs SUBJECT: Contract Award for Freeway Service Patrol Tow Truck Service STAFF AND EVAL UA TION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Award a 3 year contract, with two one-year options, to Tri-City Towing for tow truck service on Beat #4 of the Freeway Service Patrol program at a cost of $45.00 per hour per truck; 2) Award a 3 year contract, with two one-year options, to Pepe's Towing for tow truck service on Beat #18 of the Freeway Service Patrol program at a cost of $42.50 per hour per truck; 3) Award a 3 year contract, with two one-year options, to Pepe's Towing for tow truck service on Beat #25 of the Freeway Service Patrol program at a cost of $42.50 per hour per truck; 4) Authorize the Chairman, pursuant to Legal Counsel review, to execute the agreements on behalf of the Commission; and 5) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission, acting in its capacity as the Riverside County Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (RC SAFE), reviewed and approved a Request for Proposal (RFP) for tow truck service at its February 13, 2002 meeting. The RFP for the Freeway Service Patrol program was for three beats or segments of freeways in Riverside County and included specific proposal requirements and evaluation criteria. • Beat #4 is on SR -91 from Magnolia Avenue to the SR -60/91/I-215 interchange • Beat #18 is on SR -60/91 from the SR -60/91/I-215 interchange to the SR -60/91 interchange • Beat #25 is on 1-15 from the SR -91/I-15 interchange to the SR -60/I-15 interchange. 1060051 Bids were due March 27, 2002, and four proposals were received. An Evaluation Committee consisting of Commissioner Schiffner and representatives from the California Highway Patrol Headquarters and local staff, Caltrans, the Orange County Transportation Authority FSP program, and Commission staff reviewed the proposals for completeness and responsiveness. Site visit interviews were conducted on all four firms on April 15. Commissioner Ron Roberts was originally scheduled to serve on the Evaluation Committee, but was unable to participate in the process due to scheduling conflicts. The Evaluation Committee spoke with each of the company representatives about their proposals and their understanding of the program's requirements. Each was asked a set of standard questions in addition to several questions concerning their individual proposals to clarify any questions. After all four visits were completed, the Committee discussed the proposals and site visits and finalized their scoring of the proposals based on the following criteria included in the RFP: Qualifications of the Firm 25 points Staffing and Project Organization 25 points Work Plan 15 points Cost and Price 25 points Completeness of Response 10 points Total 100 points The Evaluation Committee's combined average scores is as follows: Beat #4 Beat #18 Beat #25 Firm Score Score Score Pepe's Towing 87.6 90.4* 94.4* Tri-City Towing 82.2* 84.2 81.0 Hamner Towing 61.0 63.0 67.0 Exclusive Towing 60.7 62.9 59.5- * Recommend award of contract. NOTE: While Pepe's Towing was ranked #1 on all three beats, they would prefer operating no more than two beats. Based upon the average score of the five Committee members (Commissioner Schiffner, CHP HQ, Caltrans District 8, OCTA FSP staff, and Commission staff) the Committee recommends that: 1) Tri-City Towing be awarded a three-year contract with two one-year options, to provide tow truck service for the FSP program on beat #4 at $45.00 per hour per truck; 2) Pepe's Towing be awarded a three-year contract with two one-year options, to provide tow truck service for the FSP program on beat #18 at $42.50 per hour per truck; 3) Pepe's Towing be awarded a three-year contract +•O04052 with two one-year options, to provide tow truck service for the FSP program on beat #25 at $42.50 per hour per truck. Beat #4 currently requires four (4) trucks, one of which is funded by a separate agreement with Caltrans for construction projects. Beat #18 requires three trucks and beat #25 requires two trucks. All three beats operate from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. The current tow truck operator for beat #4 is Hamner Towing, and the Committee's recommendation is to award the beat to Tri-City towing effective July 1, 2002. The current operator for beat #18 and #25 is Pepe's Towing, and it is the Committee's recommendation that Pepe's Towing continue to operate those two beats. All obligations incurred by the Commission under the terms of this award are funded 80% from State funds and 20% from local SAFE fees, and are subject to continued funding from the State for the Riverside County Freeway Service Patrol program. Funding for these beats are included in the FY 02-03 Proposed Budget. 000053 AGENDA ITEM 17 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: April 22, 2002 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Darren Kettle, Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Adopt the following bill positions: No Position — SCA 5 (Torlakson, D -Antioch) as amended 2/13/02. Oppose — SB 1827 (Torlakson, D -Antioch) as introduced 2/22/02. Oppose Unless Amended — SB 1856 (Costa, D -Fresno) et al) as introduced 2/22/02. Support — AB 2098 (Bates, R -Laguna Niguel) as introduced 2/19/92 AB 2476 (Pacheco, R -Riverside) as introduced 2/21/02; 2) Receive and file the State and Federal Legislative Update as an information item; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update The last day for policy committees to report fiscal bills out of- the policy committee of the house of origin is April 26, 2002. With this deadline, there has been a flurry of activity to move bills through this step of the legislative process. The budget and the $ 17.5 billion deficit continues to receive most of the attention from legislators with a strong undercurrent of concern of how the deficit will impact any legislation that has fiscal consequences. There has been little in the way of transportation policy legislation with the exception of SB 1262 (Torlakson), the bill requiring a minimum 10% set -aside of transportation Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds for a transit -oriented development and housing incentives program, and the bills referenced above for position consideration. SB 1262 passed out of the Senate Transportation Committee on April 2, 2002 on an 8-3 vote with 8 votes being the minimum to move the bill out of committee and on to Senate Appropriations Committee. �,<<Q,00054 Also the Committee will recall two bills introduced that proposed to clarify the diesel fuel tax exemption as it relates to the definition of farming activities in the event that the BOE approved proposed regulation 1533.2. The bills are AB 2809 (Longville) and SB 10xxx (Sher). The bills are no longer being considered since the transit community and food processing industry reached an agreement and the BOE adopted the proposed regulation as agreed to by the two parties. Staff has analyzed and recommends the following bill positions for approval: SCA 5 (Torlakson, D -Antioch) — This measure is a Senate Constitutional Amendment that would place before California voters the ability to adopt a local option sales tax for transportation projects with a minimum of 25% of the revenues for smart -growth planning and development with a simple majority (50% +1) vote. Staff recommends: NO POSITION. The staff analysis is attached. SB 1827 (Torlakson, D -Antioch) — Senate Bill 1827 redirects a portion of AB 2766 Air District fee revenues to implement a free bus pass pilot project in the South Coast AQMD by redirecting a portion of the AB 2766 vehicle registration fees to a small Los Angeles County public transit system for the purpose of establishing a free bus pass program. Staff recommends: OPPOSE. The bill analysis is attached. SB 1856 (Costa, D -Fresno, et al) — This bill enacts the High -Speed Passenger Train Bond Act, which, subject to voter approval, would provide for the issuance of $6 billion of general obligation bonds to be used for the purpose of funding the planning and construction of a high-speed train system. Staff recommends: OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED. The staff analysis is attached. AB 2098 (Bates, R -Laguna Niguel) - The purpose of this legislation is to conform California law to federal requirements related to repeat drunk driving offenders in order to permit flexibility in using federal highway funding. Staff recommends: SUPPORT. The staff analysis is attached. AB 2476 (Pacheco, R -Riverside) - This measure grants the Department of Housing and Community Development flexibility in awarding grants within the existing Jobs - Housing Balance Improvement Program. Staff recommends: SUPPORT. The staff analysis is attached. Federal Update Appropriations requests were due in the Transportation Appropriations Committee Chairmen's offices March 28, 2002 in the House and April 17, 2002 for the Senate. Staff will report back on those requests as information becomes available. The two Highway Funding Restoration Acts (S. 1917 and H.R. 3694) are bipartisan bills that continue to garner veto proof support. As introduced, the measure restores the highway program from the $23.3 billion level of the president's budget N .16 t; 66d55 to $27.7 billion, the FY 2003 level of highway authorizations found in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA -21). While the Senate is considering going beyond the $27.7 billion level of restoration, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Don Young (R -Alaska) is committed to not exceeding the $27.7 billion as part of an agreement worked out with the House's budget and appropriations leaders. Attachments: SCA 5 (Torlakson) — Bill Analysis SB 1827 (Torlakson) — Bill Analysis SB 1856 (Costa) — Bill Analysis AB 2098 (Bates) — Bill Analysis AB 2476 (Pacheco) — Bill Analysis Legislative Matrix 000056 Date of Analysis: April 9, 2002 Bill Number/Author: SCA 5 (Tom Torlakson, D -Antioch) As amended February 13, 2002 Subject: Set a simple majority vote requirement for local sales tax measures for transportation with a minimum 25% set -aside of revenues for smart growth planning and construction. Status: Introduced May 15, 2001 Amended February 13, 2002 Summary: The California Constitution conditions the imposition of a special tax, such as transportation sales tax measures like Measure A or I, by a city, county, or special district upon the approval of 2/3of the voters of the city, county, or special district voting on that tax. SCA 5 as amended, places before California voters the ability to authorize a city, county, or the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the bay area, to impose a special tax to fund transportation projects and smart growth planning with a simple majority vote of the voters of the local jurisdiction. As a Senate Constitutional Amendment this bill must be approved by 2/3 of the membership of each house and approved by the voters of the State of California. Staff Comments: In its' introduced form, SCA 5 was a vehicle to reduce the super majority 2/3 - vote requirement for approval of transportation sales taxes to a simple majority. The proposal was identical to SCA 3 (Burton) from the last legislative session that was supported by both RCTC and SANBAG. SANBAG had taken a support if amended position on introduced version of SCA 5 with the amendment being changing the local vote threshold to a 55% majority. The author has since amended the bill to require that local sales tax measures approved under this constitutional provision would be required to set -aside 25% of the revenues for "smart -growth" planning and development. The amended bill retains the simple majority vote threshold. In light of the significant change in the bill to require 25% of the revenues be used for something other than transportation programs, thus limiting local control and specifically our ability to fund transportation projects that the SANBAG Board and County voters deem necessary, staff recommends removing the qualified support for the bill and taking NO POSITION. Staff Recommendation: NO POSITION `8 h858 Date of Analysis: April 9, 2002 Bill Number/Author: SB 1827 (Tom Torlakson, D -Antioch) As introduced February 22, 2002 Subject: Demonstration project to fund free bus pass program from motor vehicle registration fees currently allocated to clean air programs by air districts and related entities. Status: Introduced February 22, 2002 Summary: Existing law permits any air quality management district or air pollution control district, except the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, that has been designated by the State Air Resources Board as a nonattainment area for any pollutant emitted by motor vehicles to levy a fee on motor vehicles registered in the district, and requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to collect, upon the request of a district, those fees upon renewal of the registration of any motor vehicle subject to the air pollution control laws of the state. The districts are required to use the motor vehicle registration fee revenues to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles, and for related planning, monitoring, enforcement, and technical studies to implement the California Clean Air Act of 1988. Existing law requires those motor vehicle fee revenues generated in the Air Quality Management Districts to be subvened to the district and used for specified purposes, including the implementation of ridesharing programs, purchase and lease of clean fuel buses for school districts and transit operators, provision of transportation services to rail and ferry stations and airports, implementation of local arterial traffic management, implementation of -low-emission and zero -emission vehicle and smoking vehicle programs, automobile buyback programs, and other specified emission -reduction programs. This bill would require Air Quality Management Districts, on January 1, 2003, or as soon as practicable thereafter, to provide fee revenues in an amount determined by each applicable district to specified small public transit systems, as defined, within their jurisdiction. The bill would also require the South Coast Air Quality Management District to provide fee revenues, in an amount determined by that district, to a small public transit system in Los Angeles County determined by the district. By imposing additional duties on specified districts, this bill would impose a state - mandated local program. Staff Comments: �OO59 Senate Bill 1827 redirects a portion of AB 2766 Air District fee revenues to implement a free bus pass pilot project in the South Coast AQMD by redirecting a portion of the AB 2766 vehicle registration fees to a small Los Angeles County public transit system for the purpose of establishing a free bus pass program. AB 2766 (Health & Safety Code Sections 44240-44247) stipulates that the $4 registration fee collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles be distributed as follows: ■ Thirty cents of every dollar shall be used by the AQMD for planning, monitoring, enforcement and technical studies that are authorized by, or necessary to implement, the California Clean Air Act; ▪ Forty cents of every dollar shall be distributed by the AQMD to cities and counties located in the South Coast District to be used to reduce motor vehicle air pollution; and; • Thirty cents of every dollar shall be deposited by the AQMD in a discretionary account (the "Discretionary' Fund") to be used to implement programs that reduce motor vehicle air pollution. To determine which projects should be funded by the Discretionary Fund, AB 2766 created the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee consisting of membership from the SCAQMD, county transportation commissions (including SANBAG and RCTC), the regional rideshare agency, and the regional transportation planning agency. The MSRC develops an annual work program, evaluates candidate air pollution reduction projects, and makes a final recommendation to the AQMD Governing Board as to which programs and/or projects should receive Discretionary Funds. The MSRC has provided considerable financial support _to public transit agencies since its inception in 1990. This has been accomplished on a regional basis, ensuring small public transit agencies in each of the four counties that comprise the South Coast AQMD are treated equitably. SB 1827 appears to favor small transit operators in only Los Angeles County Finally, staff is concerned that Senate Bill 1827, if enacted, could potentially reduce the ability to fund other cost-effective air pollution reduction strategies. Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE ;; .,I 1 99,)°060 Date of Analysis: April 9, 2002 Bill Number/Author: SB 1856 (Jim Costa, D -Fresno, et al.) As introduced February 22, 2002 Subject: Enacts the High Speed Rail Bond Act for the purpose of funding the planning and construction of a high-speed rail system. Status: Introduced February 22, 2002 Summary: Existing law creates the High -Speed Rail Authority with the responsibility of directing the development and implementation of intercity high-speed rail service. This bill would enact the High -Speed Passenger Train Bond Act of 2002, which, subject to voter approval, would provide for the issuance of an unspecified amount of general obligation bonds, the proceeds of which would be used for the purpose of funding planning and construction of a high-speed train system in this state pursuant to the business plan of the authority. The bill would provide for the submission of the bond act to the voters in accordance with specified law. Staff Comments: According to the High -Speed Rail Authority's adopted business plan, the total cost of the statewide high-speed rail system is estimated in today's dollars at $25 billion. The Statewide system stretches from Sacramento to the Bay Area, south through the central valley to Los Angeles, then inland to Ontario Airport and south through the Temecula Valley to San Diego. SB 1856 currently cites an unspecified amount in general obligation bond issuance to fund the project. Staff has learned that it is the author's intent to amend the bill to set the amount of GO bond issuance at $6 billion and with that funding the High -Speed Rail Authority would move forward with what they call Segment 1 of the system which stretches from San Jose to Los Angeles Union Station. The problem here is that Segment 1 costs are estimated at $12 billion for planning, construction, vehicles, and support costs so the GO bond issuance only would fund half the costs. To ensure completion of Segment 1, the other $6 billion is necessary, placing extreme 000061 pressure on decision -makers to identify sources of revenue for the project outside the bond financing mechanism, including general purpose transportation funds. If amended as expected by staff, the bond act would fund only half the estimated cost of the first segment of the high-speed rail network that does not extend to the Inland Empire. It is highly unlikely that California voters will approve a measure that funds half a segment of a high-speed rail system that has only limited statewide benefit, particularly if arguments are made that other transportation dollars may be at risk to fund the half of the first segment of the project not covered by the GO bond issue. So unless the bill is amended to address the variety of concerns cited above, staff recommends an oppose position. However, if the following amendments are incorporated into the bill staff would suggest removing the opposition. 1. The high-speed rail system shall be constructed as a single project as proposed by the High -Speed Rail Authority adopted business plan which includes segments through San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. This ensures that the High -Speed Rail Authority will realize adequate revenues to cover anticipated operational costs. This amendment will also allow a GO ballot measure to garner the state- wide support necessary for passage. 2. The bill should guarantee that general transportation dollars, including State Transportation Improvement Program, State Transit Assistance, Proposition 42 Sale tax on gasoline revenues, and Federal formula funds not be used to fund any part of the high-speed rail system including operations costs. Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED f o lj ) 000062 Date of Analysis: April 9, 2002 Bill Number/Author: AB 2098 (Patricia Bates, R -Laguna Niguel) As introduced February 19, 2002 Subject: Conforms California law to federal requirements in order to permit flexibility in using federal highway funding. Status: Introduced February 19, 2002 Summary: Existing law requires that if any person is convicted of driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or drug and the offense occurred within 7 years of a separate violation of specified provisions relating to driving under the influence, which resulted in a conviction, that person be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 90 days nor more than one year and by a fine of not less $390 nor more than $1,000. The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is also required to be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles. If any person is convicted of driving under the influence and the offense occurred within 7 years of 2 separate violations of provisions relating to driving under the influence, which resulted in convictions, that person shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 120 days nor more than one year and by a fine of not less than $390 nor more than $1,000. The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is also required to be revoked, as specified. Under existing law, whenever a person is convicted of any specified provisions committed while driving a motor vehicle of which he or she is the owner, the court, at the time sentence is imposed on the person, is authorized to order the motor vehicle impounded for a period of not more than 6 months for a first conviction, and not more than 12 months for a 2nd or subsequent conviction. This bill would require that, for the above violations relating to driving under the influence, the person also be punished by the impoundment of his or her motor vehicle and receive an assessment regarding his or her alcohol abuse and, if applicable, treatment as determined by the court. Staff Comments: The federal statute regarding repeat drunk driving offenders requires each state to enact and enforce a law that provides that any individual convicted 000063 of a second or subsequent offense for driving under the influence or while intoxicated to be subject to four penalties. California law meets the first (one year driver's license suspension) and fourth (30 days of community service or 5 days of imprisonment) requirements. This bill would clarify that repeat offenders are to receive an assessment regarding his or her alcohol abuse and treatment as determined by the court (the third requirement), and would make impoundment of the offender's vehicle mandatory, rather than permissive (the second requirement). As a result, this bill would amend the applicable California laws to comply with the second and third provisions of the federal repeat offenders statute in order to permit maximum federal highway funding flexibility. California is currently being penalized for noncompliance with the federal repeat offenders requirements. This penalty requires that 1.5% of the state's apportionments and associated obligation authority for the federal highway system, surface transportation, and interstate maintenance programs be transferred to the state's safety program. Under federal law, this penalty will increase to 3% beginning October 1, 2002, and potentially could be over $45 million. These funds would have been available for maintenance, reconstruction, and certain additions to the interstate system, which includes all freeways throughout the state. Without the transfer of these penalty funds, more federal highways funds potentially would have been available for interstate maintenance or even regional transportation projects through the STIP. Staff Recommendation: SUPPORT E; 9199964 Date of Analysis: April 15, 2002 Bill Number/Author: AB 2476 (Rod Pacheco, R -Riverside) As introduced February 21, 2002 Subject: State Grant Funding for Jobs -to -Housing Studies Status: Introduced February 21, 2002 Assembly Transportation Hearing — April 22, 2002 Summary: Existing law, the Budget Act of 2000, provides for a transfer of $10,000,000 by the Controller from the General Fund to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund, and requires $5,000,000 of that amount to be distributed for collaborative work by a county, in partnership with certain governmental entities, to mitigate interregional impacts of substantial imbalances of jobs and housing. This bill would authorize the Department of Housing and Community Development, in accordance with provisions in the Budget Act of 2002, or a subsequent Budget Act, that are similar to the provision described above, to distribute funds for local, regional, or interregional studies that address interregional impacts relating to transportation systems, traffic congestion, and long commutes that result, in part, from the imbalance of jobs and housing. The bill would require those studies to focus on developing strategies to promote jobs -to -housing balance objectives. Staff Comments: The Inland Empire is projected to have the region's highest population growth over the next twenty years while Orange County is projected to create more jobs than it can fill with its' projected population growth. That means the workforce in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties will continue to commute to the jobs in Orange County resulting in increased congestion and traffic accidents. The 91 freeway is currently the only transportation corridor linking the two counties and is one of the most congested freeway in the United States. This measure grants the Department of Housing and Community Development flexibility in awarding grants within the existing Jobs -Housing Balance Improvement Program. AB 2476 will allow the Department to consider inter -regional studies that address the imbalance of --jobs and housing in awarding grant funds.
