The standard Commission construction contract will be used, subject to legal counsel review. Fundincj The original funding allocated to this project was $3,500,000 in Measure, A and $500,000 in LTF funds. After the property purchase and engineering expenses the remaining revenue budget is approximately $500,000. In order to 9 accommodate the total cost of the construction, staff is recommending that the Commission approve increases to the total project budget of $1,300,000 in Measure A funding and $1,300,00 in additional project costs. In addition, staff requests that the Commuter Rail Short Range Transit Plan be amended to reflect the additional $1,300,000 in Measure A funds and $1,300,000 in additional project costs allocated to this project.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In May 2005, the Commission directed staff to evaluate a new commuter rail line from Temecula to San Diego to accommodate the large number of Riverside County residents who commute south along the 1-15, once the initial commuter rail feasibility study was completed. The proposed 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility study will examine this segment. In addition given the growth forecast in the 1-15 corridor, the project will include a study of a conventional commuter rail corridor between Temecula and Corona on the 1-15 corridor, maximizing use wherever possible of the former Santa Fe Railroad right of way between Lake Elsinore and Corona. In November 2005, RCTC completed the Riverside County Commuter Rail Feasibility Study which evaluated several commuter rail corridors throughout the county. The project studied extensions of existing or proposed rail routes to the Coachella Valley, Hemet/San Jacinto, and Temecula via both the 1-215 and Winchester road. The analysis supported advancing two scenarios for inclusion in the next SCAG Regional Transportation Plan update, the Perris Valley extension to Hemet/San Jacinto and the extension to Temecula along the 1-215. 11 Selection Process The Request for Proposal (RFP) was released on May 10, 2006 with a mailing to 20 firms. The RFP was also posted on the Commission's website. The Commission received two proposals by the deadline of June 12, 2006: STV Inc. and Wilbur Smith and Associates. The proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee comprised of representatives from the city of Corona, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, and the Commission. The firm selected by the committee to perform the study is Wilbur Smith and Associates. Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Y Year: FY 2006/07 Amount: $100,000 Source of Funds: LTF Budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its October 2003 meeting, the Commission approved the se�%ection of Fieldman to provide financial advisory services to the Commission. The selection was based on the evaluation of six proposals received in response to a request for proposals as well as an interview process. Fieldman is a full -service consulting firm that offers financial and investment advice to state and local governments and non- profit institutions. Agreement No. 04-19-029 with Fieldman expires on August 31, 2006, and compensation is based on the projects assigned to them at the rates set forth in a fee schedule. Since its selection, Fieldman has assisted the Commission in its three most recent rating agency presentations, the establishment of the $185,000,000 commercial paper program related to the 2009 Measure A, development of the strategic partnership advisory services request for proposal, consultation related to financing mechanisms proposed by the county of Riverside for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees, and various other matters. In connection with preparation for a long-term debt issue in 2008 or 2009 related to the 2009 Measure A, Fieldman has recently been advising Commission staff regarding an interest rate swap program, which is discussed in a separate agenda item. 13 Staff is very satisfied with the performance of services provided by Fieldman and its understanding of the Commission's programs, goals, and needs. Accordingly, staff recommends that Agreement No. 04-19-029 be extended through December 31, 2009 based on the efforts to date related to the planning and preparation for a debt financing under the 2009 Measure A. Additionally, staff recommends the following fee schedule revisions: Personnel Original (2003) Hourly Rate Revised (2006) Hourly Rate Managing Principal/Executive Officers of the Firm Principal/Senior Vice President Vice President Assistant Vice President Senior Associate Associate of the Firm Analyst Administrative Assistant Clerical (Other) $ 275 240 185 170 N/A 135 N/A 80 35 $ 300 275 225 195 150 125 85 65 35 The rates for lower level staff have not increased or have decreased, and there are rates for new staff levels that may perform services. The top four staff levels have experienced rate increases of 9% for managing principal/executive officer, 15%,for principal/senior vice president, 22% for vice president, and 15% for assistant vice president/senior associate. Since the rates proposed in July 2003 have not been adjusted during the term of the agreement, staff believes the revised rates are fair and reasonable for such professional services.

(ISDA) Master Agreement (Local Currency -Single Jurisdiction) (Copyright 1992), as amended by a Schedule and Credit Support Annex, with the successful counterparties; and 9) Forward to the Commission for final action. 17 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In February 2005, the Commission approved a commercial paper program to provide advance funding for projects included in the expenditure plan of the. approved 2009 Measure A. In April 2005, $30,005,000 of commercial paper notes was issued under the $185,000,000 commercial paper program that was established. It has been anticipated that the outstanding commercial paper notes will be refinanced with a long -.term debt issuance in late 2008 or in early 2009. Since the inception of the commercial paper program, interest rates on the notes have varied 'from 2.05% to 3.58%, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.92%. Additionally, since February 2005, the Federal Reserve has increased the Fed Funds rate from 2.25% to 5.00%, and investors are anticipating the results of the Federal Reserve's next meeting on June 29, 2006. The Commission anticipates issuing long-term debt to refinance the commercial paper notes as well as to provide financing to advance fund projects included in the 2009 Measure A expenditure plan. Due to the uncertainty of future interest rates, staff and the Commission's 'financial advisor, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (Fieldman), have been discussing financing strategies to achieve a greater level of stability of interest rates upon the issuance of long-term debt: Such discussions have included meetings with investment bankers regarding market information and recommended strategies, which related to interest rate swaps or hedges. Additionally, staff has attended conferences and seminars to obtain an understanding of public finance strategies including interest rate swaps and hedges. It is the opinion of staff and Fieldman that it would be prudent for`the Commission to consider an interest rate swap strategy at this time to insulate the Commission's 2009 Measure A financing program against future interest rate volatility. It is important to note that this strategy is not speculative or a play on expected interest rates. Rather, staff and Fieldman believe that the direction of interest rates in the future is uncertain, that such interest rates will be different than today, and that the fixed rate of interest for tax-exempt long-term debt that could be obtained now is desirable due to the currently flat yield curve and relatively low forward premium cost. As a point of reference, the following is a summary of the range of fixed rates of interest on the long-term debt issued under the Commission 1989 Measure A financing program: 2000 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds 1997 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series A 1997 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series B 4.250% to 5.250% 3.700%`to 5.250% 3.750% to 5.000% 18 1996 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds 1993 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds 1991 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds 3.500% to 6.000% 3.500% to 5.750% 5.600% to 6.700% The use of interest rate swaps by governmental agencies is becoming more common, as such agencies enter into swaps to accomplish three primary objectives: • To reduce borrowing costs; • To better manage or limit interest rate risk; and • To effect a better matching of assets and liabilities. In fact, several transportation agencies including the Orange County Transportation Authority, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, San Joaquin Transportation Authority (SJTA), and Bay Area Toll Authority have entered into swap transactions. SANDAG, CCTA, and SJTA have forward swaps relating to future long-term debt issuances, similar to the type of transaction being contemplated for the Commission. Overview of a Swap Transaction A swap is a contract between a borrower (i.e., the Commission) and counterparty (i.e., a financial institution) to exchange, or swap, cash flows for a defined period of time. In the floating to fixed rate swap under consideration, one party (the Commission) pays a fixed rate to the other, and the other party (the counterparty) pays a floating/variable rate to the other. The swap payments are calculated on a computational base referred to as the notional amount; however, no principal amounts are exchanged between the Commission and the counterparty. When the Commission issues floating rate bonds, it retains the obligation to make interest payments to the bond holders based on a floating rate. This swap is intended to integrate with the floating rate bonds. Under the swap, the Commission will have a floating rate receipt intended to correlate with land offset) its floating rate payment. The primary obligation of the Commission is intended to be the fixed rate payment under the swap. The swap creates a financing structure which, on a net basis, results in fixed rate debt for the Commission —this is called "synthetic fixed rate debt." The floating rates are usually based on objective indices such as the London Inter -Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and Bond Market Association (BMA) swap index. The floating rate paid to the bondholders by the borrower theoretically is offset by the floating rate received from the counterparty by the borrower. 19 The following is a graphic illustration of a swap transaction that creates a synthetic fixed rate: Counterparty (swap provider) Swap Variable Rate Fixed Rate Borrower (issuer of debt) Bond Variable Rate Bond Sale Proceeds Bond . Holders SWAP BONDS At the Committee meeting, staff will make a detailed presentation of the mechanics of a swap transaction. Swap Policy As the Commission considers executing a swap transaction, it is prudent financial management to adopt a written swap policy. Such a 'policy should address the following matters: • Commission's rationale for utilizing interest rate swaps; • Permitted instruments; • Approved transaction types; • Risk and benefitanalysis procedures; • Procurement and execution procedures; • Counterparty eligibility requirements; • Collateral requirements; and • Documentation requirements. With the assistance of Fieldman, acting as the. Commission's swap advisor, and Orrick, Herrington, & Sutcliffe LLP (Orrick), as bond counsel, staff has developed the attached swap policy for adoption by the Commission. The adoption of a swap policy recently has been a critical factor considered by the rating agencies for the evaluation of issuers entering into swap arrangements. Accordingly, such a policy would be part of the discussion with the rating agencies during our November 2006 meetings. Swap Bidding Process The Commission's goal is to combine the best elements of a competitive process with the level of document flexibility and customization offered through a negotiated procurement process. Therefore, the Commission's financing team (Fieldman, as swap advisor, and Orrick, as bond counsel) will develop and • " " " implement a process featuring elements of both competitive and negotiated processes. Staff intends to conduct a premarketing effort and implement a process of negotiating the interest rate swap arrangements based on an initial screening of potential counterparties. Initially, participants that have shown particular interest in the Commission's potential swap financing will be forwarded a request for qualifications (RFQ). Additionally, the RFQ will be posted on the Commission's website. The RFQ will seek, among other things, responses related to: " The overall compensation to be paid to the counterparty; " The particular provisions that may require negotiation; and " Substantiation of compliance with the Commission's swap policy pertaining to limitations on potential swap counterparties. This feedback is usually important as structuring considerations for the overall financing plan are finalized and indicates the level of interest in the swap transaction. A formal bid date would be determined, and the final swap terms would be circulated to potential swap providers. On the bid date, bids would be submitted by the swap providers, and two swaps would be entered into with the successful bidders. Since the Commission currently anticipates offering to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, the successful bidders will be those willing to accept the lowest fixed payment in exchange for the desired floating payment. Swap Documentation Upon selection of the swap provider or counterparty, documents will be drafted and executed providing the terms and conditions of the swap. Swap documents are generally based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement which has created uniformity within the market. The Master Agreement is accompanied by a Schedule, Credit Support Annex, and Confirmation. While the Master Agreement is a preprinted form, the Schedule amends the Master Agreement and indicates the elections among the options presented in and additional terms not covered by the Master Agreement. The Credit Support Annex details collateralization requirements, terms, and mechanics. A confirmation which details the terms of each swap transaction is entered into for each swap transaction. Examples of these documents are included as attachments for informational purposes. General Proposal for Swap Transaction for the Commission Based on consultation with Fieldman and Orrick, staff recommends that the Commission enter into the following swap transaction: 21 " The notional amount would be $185,000,000, as the Commission would otherwise reasonably expect to issue long-term debt in 2008 or early 2,009 that would refinance the outstanding commercial paper notes. Staff anticipates that the commercial paper program will be fully utilized over the next two to three years. The amount of any additional long-term debt to be issued and the approximate timing has not been -determined; accordingly, staff does not recommend entering into a swap transaction exceeding a notional amount of $185,000,000. " The term of the swap transaction should be no more than 20 years, as the Commission does not currently anticipate issuing long-term debt with a maturity that approximates the term of the 2009 Measure A, or 30 years. " The swap will commence at a date in 2008 or 2009 when the Commission expects to issue long-term debt. " The Commission would expect to refinance the commercial paper notes with variable rate long-term debt in 2008 or early 2009,resulting in the Commission offering to pay a fixed rate and receive a'floating rate under the swap transaction. However, the Commission may decide not to issue variable rate long-term bonds, in which event the swap would synthetically fix the commercial paper program. " No more than two bids will be selected as winning bids. Advisory Team Agreements Due to the technical nature and complexities of a swap transaction, staff requires the support and advice of advisors with appropriate experience. This team consists of a swap �advisor and bond counsel. Staff therefore recommends that the Commission enter into the following agreements: " Agreement No. 06-19-072-00 with Fieldman; Rolapp Financial Services, LLC, a related company of Fieldman, for swap advisory services with compensation of $65,000 to be paid only, upon execution of the swap transaction. " Agreement No. 05-19-510-01, an amendment of the scope of services to Orrick's existing agreement to include legal services related to the execution of a swap transaction with compensation not to exceed $100,000 to be paid only upon execution of the swap transaction. The above compensation would be paid from commercial paper proceeds upon the execution of a swap transaction. If the swap transaction is not completed, no compensation would be paid to either the swap advisor or bond counsel. Draft agreements for the swap advisor and bond counsel are included as attachments. 22 " " " Swap Risks While the Commission considers an interest rate swap transaction for the benefits described earlier, it must have an understanding of the incremental risks that are assumed compared to a conventional fixed rate bond arrangement. The following are some of the significant risks to a swap transaction: " Basis Risk: Mismatch between the floating rate paid to the bondholders by the Commission and the floating rate received by the Commission from the counterparty. " Counterparty Risk: Failure of the counterparty to perform and make the required payments to the Commission. " Termination Risk: Need to terminate the swap agreement prior to the termination date of the agreement. " Tax Risk: Potential tax events or changes in tax laws that may affect the advantage to issuing tax-exempt debt. Other potential risks include liquidity, interest rate/credit, and rollover. In staff's presentation to the Committee, the risks will be discussed in more detail. Staff and Fieldman are of the opinion that the level of risk to the Commission appears to be minimal compared to the future interest rate stability that would result from this swap transaction. While risk monitoring is an ongoing process once a swap transaction is completed, there are some activities that will not commence until the swap begins in 2008 or 2009. Due to the variable rate nature of the long-term bonds to be issued, it is expected that there will be weekly or monthly swap settlements during the term of the swap for the net payment by the Commission or the net receipt to the Commission. These additional accounting activities would be performed by the Finance Department, whose staff resources will be evaluated over the next few years. Additionally, a swap consultant would be engaged to monitor the performance and effectiveness of the swap by reviewing the floating rate calculations and performing annual mark -to -market valuations for financial disclosure purposes. These additional costs will impact future years' budgets. Next Steps Upon Commission approval, swap terms will be finalized and remaining legal issues resolved so that the bidding process may commence in mid -July 2006. This would be followed by bid closing and selection in mid -August 2006. Staff anticipates presenting the details of the executed swap transaction to the Commission at the September 2006 Commission meeting. 23 Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: No Year: FY 2006/07 Amount: $165,000 Source of Funds: Commercial Paper Proceeds Budget Ad ustment: Yes GLA No.: 303-19-65302 P8100 80 $65,000 303-19-65101 P8100 80 $100,000 Fiscal Procedures Approved: \iii_e4,4eay. jit.v Date: 6/26/06 Attachments: 1) Swap Policy 2) Debt Management Policy 3) Resolution No. 06-014 4) Form of Master Agreement, Schedule, Confirmation 5) Agreement No. 06-19-072-00, 6) Agreement No. 05-19-510-01 7) Resolution No. 06-015 Credit Support Annex, and including Form ADV Part ll 24 " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION INTEREST RATE SWAP POLICY I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Interest Rate Swap Policy (Policy) of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is to establish guidelines for the use and management of all interest rate management agreements, including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, swaptions, caps, collars and floors (collectively Swaps or Agreements) incurred in connection with the issuance of bonds, notes and other obligations (collectively, the Bonds). This Policy sets forth the manner of execution of swaps, provides for security and payment provisions, risk considerations and certain other relevant provisions in the context of being responsive to the 2003 Recommended Practices of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) regarding the contents of an interest rate swap policy. The failure by RCTC to comply with any provision of this Policy shall not invalidate or impair any Agreement. " I1. AUTHORITY " ' RCTC is authorized to issue Bonds and to enter into Swaps from time to time to better manage assets and liabilities and take advantage of market conditions to lower overall costs and reduce interest rate risk. RCTC has issued this Policy to provide guidance as to how RCTC intends to use and manage Swaps. While it is the intention of RCTC to adhere to this Policy in applicable circumstances, RCTC recognizes that changes in the capital markets and other unforeseen circumstances may from time to time produce situations that are not covered by the Policy which will require modifications or exceptions to achieve policy goals. The Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer and their authorized designee(s) (the Authorized Representative) are the designated administrators of this Policy. The Governing Board of RCTC (the Board) shall have "oversight" on the approval of each Agreement. However, the Authorized Representative, subject to Board approval, shall have the authority to enter into each Swap. Each Agreement shall be structured by staff and members of the financing team. The Authorized Representative shall have the day-to-day responsibility for implementing, and managing the Agreements. 25 RCTC shall be authorized to enter into Swaps only with qualified counterparties (each a Counterparty). Counterparties shall be selected pursuant to the criteria set forth in this Policy. This Policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis by the Authorized Representative. Any recommended changes shall be presented to the Governing Board/Budget and Implementation Committee for their consideration. III. PURPOSE The, issuance of Bonds involves a variety of interest payment obligations and risks that a variety of financial instruments are available to reduce, offset, or hedge. The structure of RCTC's debt is often designed to manage the assets and liabilities on its balance sheet. It is the policy of RCTC to also consider the use of Swaps and other financial instruments to better manage its assets and liabilities.. RCTC may execute a Swap if the transaction can be expected to result in one or more of the following or any similar type of benefit: ■ Reduce exposure to changes in interest rates on a particular financial transaction or in the context of the management of interest rate risk derived from RCTC's overall asset/liability balance; ■ Result in a lower net expected cost of borrowing with respect to the Bonds; • Manage variable interest rate exposure consistent with prudent debt practices; ■ Manage exposure to changing market conditions in advance of anticipated issuance of Bonds (through the use of anticipatory hedging instruments); • Achieve more flexibility in meeting overall financial objectives that cannot be achieved in conventional markets. For example, entering into a swaption with an upfront payment; ■ Provide customized cash flows to match required payment obligations or revenue projections. RCTC will not use Agreements that: ■ .Are speculative or create extraordinary leverage; ■ Lack adequate liquidity to terminate without incurring a significant bid/ask spread; ■ Provide insufficient price transparency to allow reasonable valuation; or • Provide exposure to currency risk, sovereignty risk, commodity risk or the use of credit derivatives - unless directly .linked .to RCTC's or the Counterparty's credit. 26 " IV. ASPECTS OF RISK EXPOSURE ASSOCIATED WITH SWAPS Before entering into a Swap, RCTC shall evaluate all the risks inherent in the Agreement. These risks to be evaluated should include basis risk, yield curve/maturity mismatch, tax risk, Counterparty risk, termination risk, rollover risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. TYPE OF RISK Basis risk DESCRIPTION '" - The mismatch between actual variable rate debt service and variable rate indices used to determine Swap payments. Defines the risk that the normal relationship between indices or prices might change. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY, RCTC will review and consider based on the historical trading differentials between the indices relevant to the Swap agreement. Yield Curve/ Maturity Mismatch This type of position is typically a deliberate arbitrage play or to take advantage of the shape of the yield curve. The risk created when swap payments are based on indices that lie along different parts of the yield curve (e.g. 7-day rates vs. 30-year rates). RCTC will evaluate historical trading relationships, and make sure to have adequate reserves or a hedging mechanism to offset unexpected movements. Tax risk The risk created by potential tax events that could affect Swap payments. RCTC will review the tax events in proposed Agreements. RCTC will evaluate the impact of potential changes in tax law on LIBOR indexed Swaps. Counterparty risk The failure of the Counterparty to make required payments. RCTC will monitor exposure levels, ratings thresholds, and collateralization requirements. Termination risk The need to terminate the Agreement in a market that dictates a termination payment by the issuer. RCTC will compute its termination exposure for all existing and proposed Swaps at market value and under a worst -case scenario. Rollover/ Mismatch risk The mismatch of the maturity of the Swap and the maturity of the underlying Bonds. RCTC will determine its capacity to issue variable rate bonds that may be outstanding after the maturity of the Swap. 27 TYPE_ RISK` Liquidity risk Credit risk The inability to continue or renew a liquidity facility. The occurrence of an event modifying the credit ratingof the Issuer or its Counterparty. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY RCTC will evaluate the expected availability of liquidity support for swapped and unhedged variable rate debt. RCTC will monitor the ratings of its Counterparties and guarantors. Risk exposure should not be measured solely in terms of notional amount, but rather how changes in interest rates would affect RCTC's exposure on all of its Swaps (as measured by mark -to market and termination risk exposure). The mark -to -market and termination value of the entire swap portfolio should be measured at least semi-annually by an independent third party. In addition, RCTC should measure the termination risk for the respective Counterparty each time it enters into anew Agreement. Termination Value Risk Limit The aggregate termination payment risk for all existing and projected Swaps shall equal that amount that would be paid by an individual Counterparty based on the reasonably expected termination payment of the proposed Counterparty for the existing swaps and the proposed swap. The method of such analysis may provide a worst -case termination value, using a methodology such as a (Value At Risk) VAR Analysis, or a parallel yield curve sensitivity analysis PV(01) method. Maximum Counterparty Termination Value RCTC shall endeavor to diversify its exposure to Counterparties. To that end, before entering into an Agreement, it should determine its exposure to the relevant Counterparty and determine how the proposed Agreement would affect RCTC's additional risk to termination. Maximum Counterparty Termination ' Exposure refers to the aggregate mark -to - market exposure to a counterparty net of the mark -to -market value of any collateral pledged to RCTC by such counterparty. RCTC's goal is to limit its Maximum Counterparty Termination Exposure attributable to a single swap counterparty, as set forth below. 28 " " Counterparty Long -Term Rating (lower prevailing) Maximum Termination Value Exposure* AAA $75 Million AA1/AA+ $50 Million Al/A+ $25 Million * The table above provides general exposure guidelines with respect to whether RCTC should enter into an additional agreement with an existing Counterparty. RCTC may make exceptions to the guidelines at any time to the extent that the execution of a Swap achieves one or more of the outlined benefits in this Policy or provides other benefits to RCTC. These limits shall only apply as of the time a Swap or related transaction, such as a cap, collar, etc. is entered into, and thus may be exceeded during the term of a Swap or Swaps with the same Counterparty. Additional limits may be established for each Counterparty as well as the relative level of risk associated with each existing and projected Swap. Case -by -Case Analysis RCTC should also take into account RCTC's financial position and overall asset/liability management strategy when evaluating its termination exposure for each transaction. The Authorized Representative shall determine the appropriate term for a Swap on a case -by -case basis. The slope of the swap curve, the marginal change in swap rates from year to year along the swap curve, and the impact that the term of the swap has on the overall exposure of RCTC in connection with its Bonds shall be considered in determining the appropriate term of any Swap. In connection with the issuance of Bonds, the term of a Swap shall not extend beyond the final maturity date of the applicable issue of Bonds, or in the case of a refunding transaction, beyond the final maturity date of the refunding Bonds. The total net notional amount of all Swaps related to an issue of Bonds should not exceed the amount of the related outstanding Bonds. For purposes of calculating the net notional amount, credit shall be given to any Swaps that offset for a specific bond transaction. 29 V. LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS In evaluating a particular transaction involving the use of swaps, RCTC shall review long-term implications associated with entering into each agreement, including costs of borrowing, historical interest rate trends, variable rate capacity, credit enhancement capacity, liquidity capacity, opportunities to refund related debt obligations and other similar considerations. IMPACT OF USE OF LIQUIDITY RCTC shall consider the impact of any variable rate bonds issued in combination with a Swap on the availability and cost of liquidity support. , CALL OPTION VALUE CONSIDERATIONS When . considering the relative advantage of variable rate bonds issued in combination with a Swap versus fixed rate Bonds, RCTC will take into consideration the value of any call option on fixed rate Bonds. When comparing potential cost savings by utilizing a swap, RCTC should take into consideration that a synthetic fixed-rate swap does not usually have an optional call provision; and therefore, should evaluate the potential impact on future cost savings and flexibility. QUALIFIED HEDGES RCTC understands that, (1) if payments on and receipts from the Agreement are to be taken into account in computing the yield on the related Bonds, the .Agreement must meet the requirements for a "qualified. hedge" under federal tax law (sometimes referred to as an "integrated" Swap); and (2) if one of the goals of entering into the Agreement is to convert variable yield bonds into fixed yield bonds (sometimes referred to as a "super integrated swap"), then certain additional requirements must be met. In both of these situations, the terms of the Agreement and the process for entering into the Agreement must be reviewed and approved in advance by tax counsel. VI. QUALIFIED SWAP COUNTERPARTIES Unless approved by the Board, RCTCwillwork with qualified Swap Counterparties that have a general credit rating of: (i) at least "Aa3" or "AA-" by ;two of the nationally recognized rating agencies and not ratedlower than "Aa3" or "AA-" by any nationally recognized rating agency, or (ii) at least "A1" or "A+" by two of the nationally recognized rating agencies and has a continuing "AAA subsidiary as rated by at least two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. The nationally recognized rating agencies are Moody's Investors Services, Inc., Standard and Poor's Rating Services and Fitch Ratings. 30 " " Swap Counterparties must have a demonstrated record of successfully executing Swap agreements as well as minimum capitalization of at least $500 million. Swap Counterparties should serve as principal on each transaction not as "agent" in order to assure most efficient pricing and direct responsibility. In addition to the rating criteria specified herein, RCTC will seek additional credit enhancement and safeguards in the form of: i. Contingent credit support or enhancement; ii. Collatera�% consistent with the policies contained herein; Ratings downgrade triggers; iv. Guaranty of parent, if any; and/or v. Replacement Swap Agreements. VII, FORM OF SWAP AGREEMENTS It is RCTC's intention to have a form of Swap Agreement to be used in all Swap Agreements, modified as necessary to meet the needs of a particular transaction. The form of the Agreement executed by RCTC shall contain terms and conditions as set forth in the International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement, including any schedules, and confirmations. All Agreements shall be subject to the approval of the Authorized Representative The Agreements shall include payment, term, security, collateral, default, remedy, termination, and other terms, conditions and provisions as the Authorized Representative deems necessary or desirable. RCTC may use legal counsel and/or outside professional advisors to assist in preparation of the swap documents. VIII. TERMINATION PROVISIONS RCTC shall consider including in all Agreements provisions granting RCTC the right to optionally terminate an Agreement at any time over the term of the Agreement. Any termination of an Agreement shall be made by the Authorized Representative. A termination event is deemed to occur should the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) fail to maintain the ratings below and the Swap Counterparty has not delivered any collateral as required under the Credit Support Annex with RCTC: 1. Credit Rating of at least "Baal" from Moody's; or 2. Credit Rating of at least "BBB+" from S&P; or, 3. Credit Rating of at least "BBB+" from Fitch 31 4,. An equivalent rating determined by a nationally recognized ratings service acceptable to both parties. Furthermore, an additional termination event is deemed to occur should the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support providers) have one or more outstanding issues of rated unsecured, unenhanced senior debt and none of such issues has a rating of at least (i) Baa2 or higher as determined by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or (ii) BBB or higher as determined by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. or (iii) an equivalent investment grade rating determined by a nationally -recognized rating service acceptable to both parties. A termination payment to or from RCTC may be required in the event of termination of an Agreement due to a default or a decrease in credit rating of either RCTC or the Swap Counterparty. It is the intent of RCTC to avoid making a termination payment out of 'available RCTC funds to a Counterparty that does not meet its contractual obligations. Prior to making any such termination payment, the Authorized Representative shall evaluate whether it is financially advantageous for RCTC to obtain a replacement Counterparty to avoid making such termination payment or finance the termination payment through a long-term financing product. For payments on early termination and optional termination, Market Quotation, and the Second Method, as defined in the 1992 Form of the ISDA will apply. IX. SECURITY AND SOURCE OF REPAYMENT While RCTC has a preference to subordinate swap payments to debt service payments, RCTC may use the same security and source of repayment (pari pasu) for the Swap as is used for the underlying Bonds. RCTC shall subordinate the termination payment under the swap to the debt service on the underlying bonds. RCTC shall consult with Bond Counsel regarding the legal requirements and compliance with RCTC's legal documentation associated with making the payments under the Swap on a parity or non -parity basis with the applicable outstanding Bonds: X. SPECIFIED INDEBTEDNESS The specified indebtedness related to credit events in any Agreement should be narrowly defined and refers only to indebtedness of RCTC that could have a materially adverse effect on RCTC's; ability to perform .its obligations under the Swap. Debt should typically only include obligations within the same, or higher, lien as the Swap obligation. 32 " XI. GOVERNING LAW Governing law for Swaps may be New York or California, except that the capacity, power and authority of RCTC to enter into a Swap shall be governed by and construed in accordance with law of the State of California. , XII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT Events of default of a Swap Counterparty shall include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Failure to make payments when due; 2. Breach of representations and warranties; 3. Illegality; 4. Failure to comply with downgrade provisions and/or provide collateral as required; and 5. Failure to comply with any other provisions of the Agreement after a specified notice period. XII1. COLLATERAL REQUIREMENTS As part of any Agreement, RCTC may require, or be required to post collateral or other credit enhancement to secure any or all Swap payment obligations. As appropriate, the Authorized Representative may require collateral or other credit enhancement to be posted by each Swap Counterparty under the following circumstances: �% Each Swap Counterparty may be required to post collateral if the credit rating .of the Swap Counterparty or parent falls below the "A- or A3". Collateral for further decreases in credit ratings of each Swap Counterparty shall be posted by each Swap Counterparty in accordance with the provisions contained in the credit support annex to each Agreement. �% Collateral shall consist of cash, U.S. Treasury Securities, or Agency Securities. �% Collateral shall be deposited with a third party trustee, or as mutually agreed upon between RCTC and each Swap Counterparty. �% A list of acceptable securities that may be posted as collateral and the valuation of such collateral will be determined and mutually agreed upon during negotiation of the Agreement. �% The market value of the collateral shall be determined on at least a monthly basis. 33 �% RCTC will determine reasonable threshold limits for increments of collateral posting based on a sliding scale reflective of credit ratings. �% The Authorized Representative shall determine on a case -by -case basis whether other forms of credit enhancement are more beneficial to RCTC. XIV. OTHER CRITERIA RCTC may select a Swap Counterparty through either a competitive or negotiated process. The selection of a Swap Counterparty shall be done on a -case -by -case basis. The conditions to be considered in determining the process shall include: �% Traditional swap or financial products such as synthetic fixed -.rate swaps, reverse swaps caps, floors, collars, and swaptions without significant deviations from standard ISDA contract. The proposed structure does not require customized features. �% Several counterparties are eligible and willing to provide bid(s). �% Terms of the swap match the underlying bond structure (i.e.. same or shorter maturity, payment dates, amortization schedule). �% Marketing of the Swap will require complex explanations about the security for repayment or credit quality. �% Demand is limited among Swap Counterparties. �% Coordination of multiple components of the financing is required. �% The Swap has non-standard features, such as one way collateral. " Bond insurance is not available or not offered. �% Counterparty risk (termination exposure) to other providers is limited. �% Counterparties are likely to demand individual changes in bid documents. �% A Swap Counterparty has provided a structure or concept that is unique. - The timing and facilitation benefit to RCTC of using a Swap Counterparty that isalso managing an accompanying bond issue. " " The transaction structure or financing structure has been developed, for RCTC by a Counterparty and RCTC has determined that it is in its best interest to proceed with proposed transaction or a similar structure:'. RCTC shall use outside professional advisors to assist in the price negotiation. RCTC shall obtain an opinion from an independent party that the terms and conditions of any financial product entered into reflect a fair market value as of the execution date. XV.., ONGOING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Written records noting. the status of all Agreements will be maintained by RCTC and shall include the following information: 34 " " " " Highlights of all material changes to Agreements or new Agreements entered into by RCTC since the last report, and a summary of any Agreements that were terminated. �% Basic term sheet containing trade date, effective date and termination date of each of the Agreement, as well key terms such as: notional amount, rate paid by each Counterparty, day count basis, payment dates, and amortization/accretion schedules. This term sheet will also contain Counterparty contact information. " Most recent (at least annually) mark -to -market valuation, performed by an independent third party advisor. �% For each Swap Counterparty, shall provide the total notional amount position, the average life of each Agreement, the available capacity to enter into a Swap, and the remaining term of each Agreement. �% The credit rating of each Swap Counterparty and credit enhancer insuring the Swap payments. �% Actual collateral posting by the Swap Counterparty, if any, per Agreement and in total by Swap Counterparty. �% Information concerning any default by a Swap Counterparty and the results of the default, including but not limited to, the financial impact to RCTC if any. RCTC shall reflect the use of derivatives on its financial statements in accordance with GASB Technical Bulletin No. 2003-1. The disclosure requirements include: 1. Objective of the Derivative 2. Significant Terms 3. Fair Value 4. Associated Debt 5. Risks 35 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Agency Security — Negotiable debt obligations which are issued and/or guaranteed as to both principal and Interest by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), or the. Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) excluding interest only securities, principal only securities, residual interest, and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO's). Amortization Risk - Amortization risk refers to the cost of servicing debt or making swap payments due to a mismatch between the bonds and the notional amount of the related outstanding Swap. Basis Risk - Basis risk refers to a mismatch between the interest rate received from the swap contract and the interest actually owed on RCTC's bonds. The risk, for example, in a floating to fixed rate swap is that the variable rate interest payments will be less than the variable interest payments actually owed on the associated bonds. BMA Index - The Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index, the principal benchmark for short-term, tax-exempt rates among municipal issuers. A market basket index of over 200 actively traded, highly rated, non-AMT tax-exempt variable rate issues that reset their rates every Wednesday. Confirmation — A form that is executed for a specific swap or financial product transaction and details the specific terms and conditions applicable to that agreement (fixed rate, floating rate index, payment dates, calculation methodology, amortization, maturity date, etc.). Continuing AAA subsidiary — A wholly owned subsidiary of a Bank or Broker/Dealer organized to transact business as a "AAA" Counterparty to eligible clients. Eligible clients are those clients acceptable to the rating agencies. To the extent a "Trigger Event" occurs, the entity will maintain all of its Agreements to their original maturity with the assistance of an independent derivatives portfolio manager. A Trigger Event is typically a downgrade of the parent company, a bankruptcy of the parent company, failure to make a payment and/or failure to deliver collateral. Counterparty - A principal to a swap or other derivative agreement, as opposed to an agent such as a broker. Counterparty Risk - The risk that the swap Counterparty will not fulfill its obligations as specified by the terms of an ISDA Master Agreement or other similar contract. Under a fixed payer swap, for example, if the Counterparty defaults, RCTC would be exposed to an unhedged variable rate bond position. The • • 36 " " creditworthiness of the Counterparty is indicated by its credit rating. RCTC has established minimum rating criteria for swap counterparties. Credit Risk - The occurrence of an event modifying the credit rating of RCTC or its Counterparty. Credit Events can trigger certain termination provisions or collateral provisions as outlined in the Agreements. Credit Support Annex - An attachment to the ISDA that covers the mutual posting ' of collateral, if required. This schedule is based on the net mark -to -market values , of the cash flows in the swap. Forward Starting Swap - An interest rate swap in which the "swap coupon" and terms of the agreement are established today, but the start of the swap is delayed until some date in the future. ' Hedge - A position taken in order to offset the risk associated with some other position. Most often, the initial position is a cash position and the hedge position involves a risk -management instrument such as a swap. Interest Rate Cap - An instrument that pays off on each settlement date based on the market value of a reference rate (i.e. BMA or LIBOR) and a specified contract rate; effectively establishing a maximum on a variable rate. Interest Rate Collar - An instrument that provides protection within a band of interest rates; a combination of purchasing an Interest Rate Cap and selling Interest Rate Floor. Generally, it is structured so that the net cost of the collar is zero or close to zero. This means that the expense for the interest rate cap premium is offset by the credit received for the interest rate floor. Interest Rate Floor - An instrument that pays off on each settlement date based on the market value of a reference rate (i.e. BMA or LIBOR) and a specified contract rate; effectively establishing a minimum on a variable rate. Interest Rate Risk - The risk that variable rates will increase and thereby cause an increase in variable rate debt service costs and negatively impact cash flow margins. Interest Rate Swap - A contract between two parties to exchange cash flows over a predetermined length of time. Cash flows are calculated periodically based on a fixed or variable interest rate against a set notional amount (amount used only for calculation of interest payments). Principal is not exchanged. 37 ISDA - The International Swap Dealers Association - The global trade association whose members are dealers in the derivatives industry. Most Swaps are executed under standard documentation created by ISDA. ISDA Master Agreement The primary document for the terms and conditions governing the swaps market. The ISDA Master Agreement contains the terms for - events of default, termination events, representations and covenants, early termination provisions and payment calculations. LIBOR - The London InterBank Offered Rate. The rate at which banks will lend Eurodollars to each other over various length terms: (e.g., 1-month, 3-month, 6- month, 12-month etc.). The most active dollar -based -taxable interest rate benchmark utilized globally. Notional Amount - The stipulated principal amount for a swap transaction. There is no transfer of ownership in the principal for a swap; but there is an exchange in the cash flows for the designated coupons. Rollover Risk - The risk that the term of the swap contract does not match the term of the related bonds being hedged. Upon the maturity of the swap, the risk may need to be re -hedged, causing RCTC to incur re -hedging costs. Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement — An attachments) to the ISDA Master Agreement that specifies what options for the various terms. in the Master Agreement have been selected to govern the derivative transactions executed under the agreement. Swap — A contractual agreement evidenced by a single document in which two or more parties agree to exchange make periodic (net) payments for an agreed period of time based upon a notional amount of principal. Swaption - An option on a swap. The swaption purchaser has the right to enter a specific swap for a defined period of time. This option can be exercised on a specific exercise date or series of exercise dates. Tax Risk - All issuers who issue tax-exempt variable rate debt inherently accept risk stemming from changes in marginal income tax rates. This is a result of the tax codes impact on the trading value of tax-exempt bonds. As marginal tax rates decline, the after tax value of tax-exempt income declines, forcing the tax-exempt rates to increase. This risk is also known as a "tax event" risk, a form of basis risk under swap contracts. Percentage of LIBOR swaps and certain BMA swaps with tax event triggers, which can change the basis under the swap to a LIBOR basis from BMA, can expose issuers to tax event risk. 38 Termination Risk - The risk that the swap could be terminated as a result of any of several events, which may include a ratings downgrade for RCTC or the swap Counterparty, covenant violation by either party, bankruptcy of either party, swap payment default by either party, and default events under a bond indenture. RCTC could owe a termination payment to the Counterparty or receive a termination payment from the Counterparty, depending on how interest rates at the time of termination compare with the fixed rate on the swap. Yield Curve - Refers to the graphical or tabular representation of interest rates across different maturities. The presentation often starts with the shortest -term rates and extends towards longer maturities. It reflects the market's views about implied inflation/deflation, liquidity, economic and financial activity, and other market forces. 39 A. GOALS AND CREDIT OBJECTIVES RCTC's goals and credit objectives are to: • Serve the people of Riverside County in the fulfillment of RCTC's policy and transportation objectives, • Comply with all State and Federal laws and regulations governing the issuance of debt, • Promptly repay when due the principal and interest on all debt issued and outstanding, • Implement debt programs with the highest possible credit ratings which provide the necessary flexibility in order to achieve the lowest possible borrowing costs on RCTC's debt obligations, , • Ensure that RCTC's debt proceeds are invested in safe, liquid and secure investments that earn competitive market rates of return in accordance with RCTC's Annual Investment Policy and indenture, • Establish policies and procedures for participation in RCTC's debt financing, • Hold debt financing participants accountable to such policies and procedures, • Reward adherence to RCTC's policies and procedures and good performance by the debt financing participants with continued participation in RCTC's debt financing program, • Explore and implement innovative structuring ideas when they are prudent and consistent with the statements listed above, and thus • Protect the funds that Riverside County taxpayers have entrusted to RCTC. B. CREDIT RATING OBJECTIVES RCTC seeks to obtain and maintain the highest possible debt ratings while at same time providing the appropriate and necessary flexibility in its bond financing documents.

Subject to the approval of its liquidity and/or letter -of -credit provider, RCTC reserves the right to change the number of commercial paper dealers for the commercial paper program., L. REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES An advance refunding involves refunding bonds in advance of the bond's first optional redemption date. An advance refunding is an important debt management tool for RCTC. Advance refundings are commonly used to achieve interest cost savings, remove or change burdensome bond covenants or to restructure future debt service payments. Advance refundings are limited by federal tax law and must be used judiciously. RCTC generally will only pursue an advance refunding if the threshold present value savings level (net of all issuance costs and any cash contribution to the refunding) is at least three percent of the par value of the refunded bonds. However, in certain circumstances, the CFO after consultation with and approval by the Commission, may agree that lower savings levels may be justified. RCTC's debt management practices anticipate the potential for advance refundings. When RCTC issues debt careful attention is given to pricing considerations that will affect future advance refunding flexibility such as: • Optional redemption provisions and F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC - 12/2/05 49 " " " Coupon characteristics. In addition, it is important to create a refunding defeasance escrow that will produce the greatest savings level. A defeasance escrow is efficient if the yield on the defeasance escrow is as close as possible (i.e., generally less than 100"' of a basis point) to the arbitrage yield on the refunding bonds. The CFO will select the appropriate defeasance securities. M. FIXED RATE VERSUS VARIABLE RATE DEBT The CFO and the Commission recognize that variable rate securities are a useful debt management tool that traditionally have had lower interest rate costs than fixed rate debt. RCTC's current goal is to maintain a debt program which consists of approximately 20% to 25% of variable rate debt (which includes commercial paper) with the remaining 75% to 80% kept as fixed rate debt; however, variable rate debt that is the subject of an active floating to fixed rate interest rate swap is not considered to be floating rate debt for the purpose of computing RCTC's total proportion of variable rate debt. RCTC's book -running senior manager, commercial paper dealer and financial advisor shall advise the CFO. if the rating agencies and/or institutional investors feel that 20% to 25% of RCTC's debt in the variable rate mode is too large a percentage. N. DERIVATIVES RCTC will continue to explore the use of derivative products as appropriate and in accordance with the Investment Policy, provided that the derivative products: " Hedge variable rate debt exposure, " Lower interest rate costs, or " Minimize risks to RCTC. Derivative products for debt shall not be used for the purpose of interest rate speculation. The Commission has adopted a separate Swap Policy related to swap transactions that should be referred to for such transactions. The CFO has the sole responsibility for determining which prospective debt products for new issue debt are derivatives. Derivative products debt instruments may be incorporated into RCTC's debt program only after the CFO has informed the Chief Executive Officer and the Commissioners of the purpose and the risks associated with the derivative product debt instruments including but not limited to: " Interest rate risk, " Counter -party credit risks, " Termination risks, and " Tax implications. If appropriate, the CFO, after consultation and approval by the Commissioners, may determine a minimum level of savings required before implementing a derivative product debt instrument. If the Commission authorizes the use of derivative products, the CFO will provide the Commissioners within twenty-four hours a memo detailing any activity related to the use of derivative products. F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC - 12/2/05 50 O. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MARKET DISCLOSURE A trustee has been appointed for the benefit of the Measure A Sales Tax Revenue Bonds.

(4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method- and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non -defaulting Parry's Loss in respect of this Agreement.

(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties: (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the'Terminated Transactions, and an Copyright © 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association; Inc.

If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y. (iii) Adjustment far Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii). (iv) Pre Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre -estimate of loss and not a penalty.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement. The Agreement has been entered into by Party B pursuant to Resolution No. adopted by the governing board of the Commission on , 2006 (the "Resolution"), in connection with the issuance or carrying of the authorized aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 Riverside County Transportation Commission Commercial Paper Notes (Limited Tax Bonds), Series A and Series B (the "Notes"). The Agreement was entered into by Party B in order to, and based on a determination by its governing body that the Agreement is designed to, reduce the amount or duration of payment, rate, spread or similar risk or result in an overall lower cost of borrowing when used in combination with the Notes, after due consideration for the creditworthiness of Party A. The Notes are payable from, and secured by, the collections received by the Commission from a one-half cent retail transactions and use tax (the "Sales Tax") imposed by the Commission pursuant to the Transportation Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance adopted on May 8, 2002 (the "Ordinance"). The Sales Tax was approved by more than two-thirds of the voters of the County of Riverside voting on the Sales Tax at a general election held on November 5, 2002. The Sales Tax is collected at the rate of zero percent (0%) until June 30, 2009, the date of expiration of a one-half cent sales tax imposed by the Commission pursuant to the Transportation Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance (the "1988 Ordinance") adopted by the governing body of the Commission on July 6, 1988, which was approved by the voters at a general election held on November 8, 1988, and thereafter at the rate of one-half of one percent (1/2%) for a period not to exceed 30 years. Pursuant to the Ordinance, the Sales Tax revenues may be applied to implement the expenditure plan approved by the Ordinance (the "Expenditure Plan") and to pay debt service on bonds (such as the Notes) issued to finance capital expenditures identified in the Expenditure Plan.

I have assumed that Party A has the legal capacity, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and that the Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of Party A and is enforceable against Party A in accordance with the terms thereof.

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, government agency, public board or body, pending, or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against Party B which (a) in any way questions the existence of Parry B or the titles of the officers of Parry B to their respective offices, (b) seeks to restrain or enjoin the execution or delivery or implementation of the Agreement or the application of payments by Party B thereunder, (c) in any way contests or affects the validity of the Agreement, (d) in any way contests the powers of Party B or the execution and delivery of the Agreement, or (e) may result in any material adverse change in the financial condition of Party B.

The enforceability of the Agreement and each Bond Document to which it is a party and the rights and remedies thereunder are subject to and may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws from time to time in effect US_ WEST:260041317.1 43124-2 BA4BA4 15 90 " r relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights, (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (iii) the limitations on remedies against public entities in the State of California.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Measure A Ordinance requires each recipient of streets and roads monies to annually provide to the Commission a five year plan on how those funds are to be expended in order to receive its Measure A disbursements. In addition, the cities in the Coachella Valley and the County (representing the unincorporated area of the Coachella Valley) must be participating in CVAG's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee program. The agencies are required to submit the annual certification of Maintenance of Effort along with documentation supporting the calculation. On April 10, 2006, RCTC staff provided the local agencies with Measure A revenue projections for local streets and roads to assist them in preparation of the required Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The agencies were asked to submit their CIP by June 12, 2006 for submission to the Budget and Implementation Committee at its June 26, 2006 meeting and to the Commission on July 12, 2006. To date, we have received the required CIP, MOE certification and supporting documentation from the following local agencies in the county: 149 Western County Coachella Valley Palo Verde Valley Corona Desert Hot Springs Blythe Hemet Indian Wells Riverside County Moreno Valley Indio Murrieta Palm Desert - Perris Palm Springs Riverside Riverside County Riverside County San Jacinto Temecula The nine (9) cities that have not submitted all of the required documents include: Banning, Beaumont, Calimesa, Cathedral City, Coachella, Lake Elsinore, Norco, and Rancho Mirage. Commission staff has informed city staff that no disbursement of Measure A funds for local streets and roads will be made until all of the required documents are received and approved by the, Commission. Canyon Lake is not required to submit a CIP because of a prior loan agreement with the Commission. The city of La Quinta does not receive Measure A funds because they do not participate in CVAG's TUMF program. The CIPs received are posted on the Budget and Implementation Committee agenda on the Commission's website and are on file at the Commission offices.

USE The extent of potential use of a bicycle or pedestrian facility is the most important factor. Emphasis of this factor helps ensure the greatest benefits will be derived from the expenditure of SB 821 funds. Relative usage is to be derived from analysis of trip generators and attractors adjacent to the project. 2. SAFETY Points are awarded on the basis of a project's potential to correct current safety problems. 3. IMPORTANCE AS A TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE Points are awarded on the basis of a project's potential to attract users who would otherwise use an automobile. 4. MISSING LINK, EXTENSION, OR CONNECTIVITY Points are awarded to projects that link, are extensions of, or potentially connect to existing facilities. 5. MATCHING FUNDS This factor is used to help ensure that there is local funding participation in the project not just an application for "free" money. One point would be awarded for each 5% of totalproject cost that is financed by the local agency. 6. POPULATION EQUITY The purpose of this factor is to help ensure that one agency does not receive all the funds. The applicant receives the maximum 10 points if the amount of funds requested does not exceed what the applicant would receive if the funds were allocated by population. Year to year totals are recorded so that an applicant could build up a "credit". (Calculated by RCTC) 7. PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY ENHANCEMENT The purpose of this factor is to enhance the physical accessibility of existing pedestrian projects. Applicant agencies may receive up to 10 "bonus" points for their project proposals which improve the physical access to existing facilities.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since 1998, the Riverside County Transportation Commission has shared a contract for state advocacy services with San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG). During this shared era, the Commission has not only shared legislative advocacy contracts with SANBAG but previously employed a shared staff member who coordinated and led legislative affairs efforts. During the past three years, the Commission and SANBAG have begun to implement their own separate legislative efforts while still working in close cooperation regarding regional matters. Staff members are no longer shared between the two agencies and on September 30, 2006, the joint legislative advocacy contract will expire. The current contract is held by Smith, Watts & Company which has provided the Commission with the services of veteran lobbyists D.J. Smith and Mark Watts. Both are well -respected transportation experts with years of experience in Sacramento with leaders of both political parties and in a number of transportation responsibilities. Mr. Watts who serves as the lead consultant on the current contract has served as Chief of Staff for then -Assembly Speaker Curt Pringle and also as an Undersecretary for Transportation in the state's Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. He helped lead a statewide effort to fund Proposition 42 during the last two state budgets. 158 While the Commission has been served capably by Smith,_Watts for a number of years, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in May for state advocacy services. Doing so reflects the Commission's long standing commitment to encouraging open bidding and competition for outside contracts. The RFP was mailed to a number of lobbying firms and posted on the Commission's website. Staff also received a number of phone calls from firms who were interested in the opportunity; however, on the proposal due date of June 7, only two bids were received by the Commission. One was from Smith, Watts and the other was from TMG Government & Public Relations. An evaluation committee comprised of Commission staff reviewed the two proposals and unanimously recommended the selection of Smith, Watts for a new contract. The firm's experience, expertise in transportation matters, leadership position in statewide organizations such as Transportation California, references and cost bid were superior in every respect. State representation will be increasingly important in coming years assuming that the Governor's Strategic Growth plan, which includes $19.95 billion for transportation, is approved by voters in November. Smith, Watts' proposal complies with the Commission's RFP specifications which sought a four-year contract. Staff recommends the approval of a four-year agreement with a two-year option at a cost of $64,000 annually which would increase to $68,500 beginning in 2008. This represents an increase from the current annualized cost of $54,750 but recognizes additional consultant hours for the Commission. These hours will not be shared by the two agencies. It is also more than $40,000 less than the fee sought by the competing bidder and favorable when compared to similar agencies. Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Y Year: FY 2007/08 Amount: $64,000 Source of Funds: Measure A, LTF, and other Budget Ad ustment: N GLA No.: 5-15-65506 Fiscal Procedures Approved: \14€4.4ei.e Date: 6/26/06 159 AGENDA ITEM 14 • " " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 26, 2006 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: John Standiford, Public Affairs Director THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Adopt the following bill position: AB 1699 (Frommer, D-Glendale) OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED (Change in Position); 2) Receive and file as an information item; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Federal Update: House Passes Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development (TTHUD) Appropriations Bill (HR 5576): In mid -June Congress approved a $67.8 billion TTHUD Appropriations bill which includes funding for transportation as well as a number of other items. Of the $67.8 billion total, the issue that has received considerable amount of attention and engendered controversy is the issue of earmarks which are funding for individual projects that are inserted into the bill by Members of Congress. This year, the amount of money set aside for earmarks is $895 million which is down from last year's total of $3 billion. Since these earmarks include the entire scope of the subjects covered by this appropriations bill, projects that have been identified for funding run the gamut from freeway widenings and airport improvements to community centers and swimming pools. Given the reduction of the overall amount that was earmarked, there are fewer Riverside County projects that received funding compared to last year's bill; however, the county and the Inland Empire fared much better than a number of neighboring areas including Orange and San Diego counties. 160 The Riverside County surface transportation projects that received funding in this bill include: 1-10/Ramon Road Bob Hope Interchange $ 500,000 State Route 60 Potrero Road Interchange $ 500,000 Grade Separations in Riverside $ 500,000 Riverside and Corona Transit Centers $1,250,000 Riverside Transit Agency Bus Stop Upgrades $ 250,000 SunLine Transit Agency Bus Replacement $ 500,000 In addition to the above surface transportation improvements, Palm Springs Airport is in line for a $2,000,000 earmark for improvements to the air control tower. All of these earmarks are contained in the House version of the appropriations bill, and it still has to make its way to the Senate which could result in more earmarks and potential changes in funding to earmarks in the House bill. That's a roundabout way of saying that there are still quite a few steps involved before a bill is finalized and sent to the President. Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill Signed by President On June 15, the President signed HR 4939, which is a $94.5. billion emergency supplemental appropriations bill authored by Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis. The primary focus of the bill is to provide funding for the War on Terror and for Disaster Relief. Included in the disaster relief, portion of the bill is $245 million to the state of California for the reimbursement of costs incurred for emergency work on California's roads and highways during the winter storms of December 2004. Riverside County is listed among seven others where this work took place. State Update CTC and Caltrans to Hold Workshop on Bond Program On June 27, Executive Director Eric Haley and two other staff members will travel to Sacramento to participate in a workshop regarding the bond proposals that will appear on the November ballot. Should the transportation bonds pass, the California Transportation Commission iCTC) will play an important role in establishing the criteria used to select projects for funding. The meeting on the 27`" is one of the first steps in the process that will take place to develop policies to be established after November's election. • 161 " " " AB 1699 Bill Would Hamper Metrolink Operations AB 1699 by Assemblyman Dario Frommer (D-Glendale) attempts to address the issue of commuter rail safety. Since its inception, Metrolink has operated trains in a push-pull configuration which allows a locomotive to either pull the passenger cars or push the passenger cars with the locomotive in the back. The form of operation omits the need to turn the train around at the end of a run or to operate multiple locomotives. This type of operating system is used throughout the world by passenger train systems including Amtrak. Metrolink's darkest day occurred on January 26, 2005, when 11 people were killed in a crash which is about to be the subject of a murder trial since it appears to have been deliberately caused. One train that was involved in the incident was being pushed by a locomotive and was derailed in the impact. Some critics believe that the crash was much worse because the initial impact was borne by a light cab car rather than a locomotive. The crash took place in Assemblyman Frommer's district. Since the incident, he has been an outspoken critic of push-pull operations. As recently amended, AB 1699 would prohibit passengers from sitting in the first 10 rows of any cab car that is used in push configuration until 2010. Beginning January 1, 2010, operating a commuter train in push configuration would be prohibited. The wording in the bill is so absolute that a commuter rail system wouldn't even be able to run a train in push configuration with an entirely empty car in the front. Since the Glendale crash, Metrolink has taken a proactive approach regarding the push-pull controversy. In March, United States Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta appeared at a press conference with Metrolink's Executive Director David Solow to promote rail safety and to highlight the purchase of new cab cars that feature a design trait known referred to as "crash energy management" which is a system designed to distribute the impact of a crash throughout the train so passengers can avoid injuries. Crash tests of this new cab car have shown significant promise, and Metrolink has approved a $305 million contract to purchase new cab cars. Unfortunately the Frommer bill ignores this promising development and is so absolute that Metrolink operations would be severely undermined by a complete ban on push operations. RCTC staff suggests an OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED position on AB 1699 with the hope of seeing amendments to the bill that wou�%d encourage Metrolink's ongoing safety efforts. A ban on push operations would either require locomotives on both ends of passenger trains or the construction of 162 railroad infrastructure known as "wyes" that are expensive, require large portions of land to construct, and would allow trains to turn around. To further confuse this issue, RCTC previously took a SUPPORT position on AB 1699 when it concerned the issue of design build. On June 13, what was once a bill that would have allowed design bid contracting was gutted and amended into its current form.
