Also, in an article that appeared, in the Press Enterprise on the morning ofApril 9, 2008, just before the com- mission voted, John Standiford was quoted as saying: "We are doing this as a result of the input we received from the community" and "The public does make a difference" Whatever the reasons -are for this change in the position about the Perris Valley Line route, the first step is that this 35 acre vacant property should be purchased for transportation uses. We have stated this for many years. This property is becoming a very popular location with the new 48" water pipe line that is being put through it,.(.see photo on right) and the new IowaAve. overpass that is planned near the south west corner, and the possibility of commuter trains going through it. But during these planning stages there also needs to be a new road constructed through it to handle future growth. On April 9, 2008, during the pub- lic comments, Denis and I supported the RCTC decision because the prop- erty needs to be purchased before any road or a track can be put through it!

To provide the reader a better understanding of the projects, staff has 'included descriptive information regarding each department and major projects. The discussion in each department includes a review of major initiatives and key assumptions. Staff used the goals and objectives approved at the Commission meeting on March 12, 2008, to prepare this budget.

The current Management Services budget is 2.84% of Measure A revenues. • Maintain administrative salaries and benefits at less than 1 % of Measure A revenues. The current administrative salaries and benefrts is .99% of Measure A revenues. • Continue to maintain prudent cash reserves to provide some level of insulation for unplanned expenditures. • Maintain current positive bond ratings with rating agencies. • Move forward on Measure A projects for highways and regional arterials using sales tax revenues, TUMF revenues, and state and federal funding as well as financing alternatives such as commercial paper, sales tax revenue bonds, and innovative financing strategies. • Look for opportunities, funding sources, and innovative approaches to address transportation needs that extend beyond Measure A. • Leverage and protect past Measure A investments in rail with state and federal funding for additional rail improvements, including the Perris Valley Line. ;Budget Overview !Chart 1 — Revenues: Major Categories Other Revenue 1% TUMF Revenue 2% Measure A Sales Tax 41% Investment IMMO 29: Intergovernmental 30% I.TF "•ales Tax 24% Total revenues are budgeted at $332,396,200 which is an increase of 24.0% over FY .2007/08 projected revenues and a 6.0% increase over the FY 2007/08 budget. The projected fund balance at June 30, 2008 available for expenditures (excluding reserves for 'debt service of $32,475,500 and loans receivable of $11,273,100) is $445,258,000.

As a result population and job growth have slowed down, and Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues and TUMF fees have declined. The outlook for 2009 is mixed when compared to the economic difficulties being experienced in 2008_ This economic slowdown was not anticipated in the 2006 UCLA Anderson Forecast of {taxable sales revenues for Riverside County through the 2009 Measure A; accordingly, the Commission has revised the long run forecast to include the current decline in sales tax revenues. After taking these economic factors and the state of the local economy into consideration, staff has projected that Measure A sales tax revenues will be comparable to the FY 2007/08 revised budget. ;On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the LTF for public transportation !needs, local streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of LTF funding received by the County and available for allocation is distributed to all transit operators in the. County, and the Commission receives allocations for administration, !planning, and programming in addition to funding for rail operations included in the commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The LTF sales tax revenue received from the state is budgeted based on the LTF sales tax revenue projections, which are projected to remain flat with the FY 2007/08 revised estimate as a result of the state of the local economy. The 9.9% decrease in LTF funding is related primarily to an FY 2007/08 allocation for grade separation jump start funding awards. Intergovernmental revenues include STA transit allocations and federal, state, and local reimbursement revenues. STA funds are generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel and are allocated by formula by the State Controller to the Commission for allocations to the 5 County's public transit operators. The STA transit allocation budgeted for FY 2008/09 reflects a 135.2% increase over FY 2007/08. Reimbursement revenues are expected to increase 55.4% compared to the prior year budget; however, only 35.7% of the prior year budget amount is projected to be realized as revenue in FY 2007/08 as a result of specific capital project activities. The decrease in FY 2007/08 projected revenues is primarily related to federal reimbursements for project development of certain capital projects that have been rebudgeted in FY 2008/09. For FY 2008/09, federal and state sources; will partially fund rail capital projects including the Perris Valley Line, Perris multimodal facility, North Main Corona station parking structure, and 'station rehabilitation as well as highway capital projects including the. State Route (SR) 60 East Junction to Interstate (I) 215 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes connector, SR-79 realignment, SR-91/SR-71 connectors, SR-91 HOV lanes/Adams Street to SR-60/,SR-91/I- 215 interchange, and 1-215 projects. Additionally, federal funds are supporting the geotechnical studies related to the Irvine -Corona Expressway, a Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) corridor. State funds will also reimburse [planning and programming activities and Motorist Assistance services. Federal and state reimbursements also pertain to various Commuter Assistance programs. As a result of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Western Riverside Council ;of Governments (WRCOG), the Commission will receive approximately 48% of TUMF through June 30, 2009, and, in accordance with the 2009 Measure A, thereafter at 100%, after deduction of an administrative fee, up to an aggregate of $400 million. TUMF represents fees assessed on new residential and commercial development in Western County. FY 2008/09 TUMF fees are expected to decrease to $5,000,000 based. on a weakened housingmarket in the Inland Empire. Other revenue consists of miscellaneous revenues and is projected .to decrease 34.6% from the prior year's budget primarily as a result of the decrease in the TUMF regional transit facilities contribution for the Perris multimodal facility. Investment income is anticipated to decrease 51.9%d in FY 2008/09 as a result of declining interest rates as well as declining cash balances. Staff continues to actively manage its resources and make appropriate investments to maximize the return to the Commission without sacrificing security and affecting short-term cash requirements.

Since September of last year, the FED has now lowered the funds rate 300 bps, for a total of six cuts, one of which was Inter -meeting. The FED has also slashed the discount rate 375 bps. since August of last year. One now has to question, what more can the FED do before It starts running out of ammo to help fight off this economic slowdown? On the other hand, by flooding the sys- tem with liquidity via drastically lower rates, cheap cash can lead to Inflation, which creates another enemy the FED must contend with. It's like fighting a battle and being surrounded on all sides; Just as the 101"Airborne at Bastogne had to hold off the enemy while failing to gain any ground. So what are the policy makers to do7 Be innova- tive, and like Patton, charge in for the rescue. The FED has extended a new lending program for the embattled broker dealers. They are basically marching to the heart of the prob- lem by exchanging mortgage -backed bonds, which in many cases are Illiquid or trading at huge discounts, and swapping them for Treasury bonds. This move is a new tactic and a big departure from the traditional remedies of the past. Flashback to last years' March edition; we wrote of our pending, new and improved.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The SR-91 HOV lane project, from Adams Street to the 60/91/215 interchange, was approved for CMIA funds in the amount of $157,198,000 for the construction phase. The approval of these funds completed the funding picture based on engineering estimates as of January 2007. The environmental document for the SR-91 HOV project was approved on August 31, 2007. Caltrans is currently working on the design phase and finalizing right -of- way costs. The latest estimate for right-of-way indicates up to an additional $51 million may be needed for this phase. Now that the design is 35% complete, the number of required parcel acquisitions has increased from 49 to 70 parcels. In addition, the number of conflicts with utilities has substantially increased. Agenda Item 8C 36 The original estimate and current programmed amount for right-of-way is $24 million of State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds. The.STIP funds were allocated at the February 2008 California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting. The CMIA agreement between the CTC and the Commission states that any cost increases on CMIA projects will be funded by theprojectsponsor, or in this case, the Commission. Additionally, CMIA projects are monitored by the CTC to ensure project milestones are met and funding is secured. The CTC website includes the project milestone dates for each CMIA project to ensure accountability of the bond funds. Due to the cost increase for right-of-way, an amendment to the CMIA baseline certification is needed prior to the next CTC meeting in May to prevent this project from being placed on the "watch" list, which is a list of projects in jeopardy of losing CMIA funds. Staff has reviewed the funding availability and is proposing to fully fund the right-of-way phase through a combination of a TCRP LONP reimbursement and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program funds. In 2005, the Commission approved a loan to the state of $21 million of CMAQ funds to cover TCRP funds that were suspended due to the 2003 budget crisis. The repayment is anticipated to occur when the 2008/09 State budget is passed. Utility Relocations Staff has identified up to $30 million of federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program funds that are available for programming this fiscal year. Staff proposes that these funds be used to cover the utility relocation cost increases currently estimated at $25 million. The availability of the CMAQ funds is due to project schedule delays, which frees up capacity this fiscal year. Staff proposes to encumber $20-25 million of the CMAQ funds within the next month. When design plans are closer to completion and it is determined more funds are needed staff will encumber additional CMAQ funds up to $30 million. Federal funds are required to have a local match. Staff proposes that the match be funded with the TCRP LONP repayment. Additionally, staff recommends that up to $3.8 million of 1989 Measure A Highway funds be approved as a loan to match the federal funds for cash flow purposes until the TCRP LONP funds are available to pay back any Measure A funds used. Agenda Item 8C 37 " " " Acquisitions Staff recommends that TCRP LONP funds that are not used for matching the utility relocations be approved for right-of-way acquisition cost increases. This amount is approximately $17 million. The $24 million of STIP funds allocated in February 2008 is sufficient to fund current year right-of-way acquisition activities. In summary, staff recommends funding the right-of-way shortfall by programming up to $30 million of federal CMAQ funds and $21 million of the TCRP loan repayment from Ca!trans. The urgency for resolving the additional funding need is so that the Commission can amend the CMIA baseline certification and cooperative agreement and meet the CMIA delivery schedule.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In July 2005, Congress approved the reauthorization of the Federal Transportation Bill commonly referred to as SAFETEA-LU. Among the categories of earmarks are the "Projects of National and Regional Significance." The Commission joined with others in seeking an earmark for $125 million for the ACE; through this process, it was agreed that the earmark would be split evenly between Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties and used to fund grade separation projects to mitigate the impacts of ever-increasing freight traffic. In April 2006, the Commission approved $21 million of the $31.25 million of the Commission's SAFETEA-LU ACE earmark funds leaving a fund balance of $10.25 million. In December 2007, the Commission allocated $6.2 million of the remaining funds to the city of Corona for Auto Center Drive as part of the project nominations for the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) Proposition 1 B funding, leaving an earmark fund balance of $4.05 million to be allocated on a first come, first -served basis: Agenda Item 8D 39 Project Allocation Fund Balance $ 31.25 Avenue 48/Dillon Road $ 2.50 Auto Center Drive 7.70 Clay Street 2.50 Jurupa Avenue 6.00 McKinley Street 1.00 Sunset Avenue 7.50 Total Allocated: $ 27.20 $ 27.20 Balance Available: $ 4.050 Commission staff is requesting that the balance of $4.05 million be allocated to the city of Riverside for the Iowa Avenue grade separation, which was recently awarded $13 million in TCIF funds. The project, which is designed as an overpass, is scheduled to begin construction by March 2010. In exchange for the $4.05 in SAFETEA-LU funds, staff is requesting that $4.05 million of the $8 million in STP funds that was originally allocated to the city of Riverside for the Iowa Avenue grade separation be deobligated'. To cover design and right-of-way costs on Auto Center Drive, Commission staff received a request from the city of Corona to reprogram $600,000 of the funds originally programmed in 2006 for the McKinley Street grade separation to Auto Center Drive. If approved, this would add an additional $600,000 to Auto Center Drive increasing the SAFETEA-LU allocation from $7.7 million to $8.3 million; decreasing the McKinley Street earmark from $1 million to $400,000. Once the various allocation and reprogramming requests are approved, staff will work with the FHWA to update the Riverside County portion of the ACE Corridor program application so that recipient agencies can draw down the funds identified on the attached corridor plan spreadsheet.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its July 12, 2006 meeting, the Commission awarded an exclusive negotiating agreement (ENA) No. 07-67-004-00 for joint development at the La Sierra Metrolink station to BRE Properties for a 180-day period. The ENA allows for the Commission to negotiate exclusively with BRE Properties. At its February 14, 2007 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 07-67-004-01 authorizing a six-month extension of the negotiating period. Representatives from the Commission, BRE Properties, Best, Best & Krieger, the city of Riverside Planning and Redevelopment, and Keyser Marston Associates (real estate financial advisory) have participated in the negotiations. Briefings with Riverside Public Utilities and Riverside Transit Agency representatives have also been held. The TOD project at the La Sierra station proposed by BRE Properties contemplates construction of two 1,000 space parking structures to the Commission for Metrolink parking in exchange for Commission property in two phases. The first phase option would terminate in December 2009, while the second phase option would terminate in December 2012. Agenda Item 8E 43 At its September 2007 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 08-67-018-00 with BRE Properties for a TOD option at the La Sierra station. The proposed option agreement also contemplates the use of the Infrastructure Financing Act (Government Code Section 5956-5956.10), which would require a public hearing prior to the opening of each Metrolink parking structure related to a parking fee to cover maintenance of the parking structure. The proposal does not require a fee for the capital construction of the parking structure since the Commission would convey its property to the developer, BRE Properties. Need For Exclusive Negotiating Agreement Extension Since the September 2007 meeting, the option agreement has not been executed at the request of BRE Properties. During the last few months, the downturn in the residential market coupled with the costs of the public infrastructure requirements give pause to BRE Properties in light of their impact to the pro -forma. BRE Properties continues to meet with the city of Riverside and Commission staff to discuss funding alternatives. BRE recently submitted a joint application with the Commission for Prop 1 C TOD funds for the parking structure at the . La Sierra station. As a result, BRE Properties is requesting an ENA extension in order to pursue other funding/financing options to complete its funding plan. Staff recommends that the ENA extension term end September 30, 2008. Agenda Item 8E 44 " AGENDA ITEM 8F " " " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: May 14, 2008 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Property Committee Sheldon Peterson, Program Manager Min Saysay, Right -of -Way Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Property Easement Amendments to Accommodate Transit Oriented Development Plans with BRE Properties Adjacent to the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station PROPERTY COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Amend property easement nos. 73060 and 313756 to accommodate transit oriented development (TOD) plans with BRE Properties adjacent to the Riverside Downtown Metrolink station; and 2) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: After the construction of the southside platforms at the Riverside Downtown station, the Commission established property easement nos. 73060 and 313756 in 1997. These were developed for the purpose of providing pedestrian and vehicular access to the platform for maintenance and emergency purposes and to provide emergency access, ingress and egress to and from the platform. These easements are located along the property east of the station and provide access along the continuation of 121" Street to Howard Avenue and roughly from the pedestrian access location west towards 14`" Street. From the station platform, there is a pedestrian crossing of the station tracks and a gate that provides access to the easement. The property encumbered by these easements is owned in fee by BRE Properties and is currently being designed as a TOD that will include a 14.9 acre development with 427 rental apartment units and 771 parking spaces. The developer is requesting that the Commission modify the existing easements to relocate them to coordinate with vehicle and pedestrian access areas designated within the project plans. This means that the easements will shift approximately 20 to 50 feet within Agenda Item 8F 45 the property to meet the proposed driveway locations. There will be no change in the total area of the easements and the Commission's rights will be fully retained. This change will support the creation of the first TOD in Downtown Riverside that will help to revitalize the neighborhood and increase Metrolink ridership. There is no fiscal impact with this easement modification.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Inland Empire -Orange County Weekend Service Performance Q3/Q4 FY 07/08 Passenger Trips IEOC Weekend Service FY 06/07 —®—FY 07/08 A� e � w � o$ o� A° o� o0 0� o° lac �acc° �a� aa� � k�� F°' <<° mac �aV �aV e 4$' P2 79 V q(l. �0 io `l% Of ^go e � qi ,th ,lit% `Lg F1 0 Daily passenger trips on the year-round Inland Empire -Orange County (IEOC) Metrolink weekend service have continued to grow through the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, providing 1,742 passenger trips quarter to date. This is an increase of nearly 24% over the 1,403 trips provided at this point last year. The success of this service is due in large part to the coordinated marketing efforts among the Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and San Bernardino Associated Governments. Most all responsibilities for marketing of the service have transitioned to Metrolink; this has included revised seat drops, branding, and consolidation of the various weekend services under a single promotional umbrella. Agenda Item 86 48 La Sierra Photovoltaic Carport Structure Update In furtherance of the Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) goal to have one megawatt of local renewable resources in place by 2004, RPU and the Commission entered into an agreement for the construction of a photovoltaic carport generation structure at the Commission's La Sierra Metrolink station. Under the Self -Generation Incentive Program, authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission at that time, more than $1.2 million was allocated to the project. The program encouraged the installation of self -generation technologies by offering monetary incentives. Photovoltaic Carport Structure at the La Sierra Metrolink. RPU maintains the power generation equipment while the renewable energy benefit is shared with the Commission. As a result of the electricity generated by this facility and its agreement with RPU, the Commission has reduced its electricity costs at the station by nearly 60%. To date the Commission has saved an estimated $80,000 and is expected to save more than $400,000 over the anticipated 20-year life of the facility. Additionally, the carport provides 128 covered spaces, an added benefit for commuters utilizing the station. May 17 Ride Free Day on the IEOC Line from Riverside Downtown Station In order to further promote the IEOC weekend service and stimulate increased ridership, the Commission has partnered with OCTA to provide a free ride day for passengers who board the IEOC line at the Riverside Downtown station on Saturday May 17. Passengers who board at the Riverside Downtown station will be provided a special ticket allowing travel to any destination on the IEOC line between Riverside Downtown station and Oceanside. The cost of this promotion is to be shared between the Commission and OCTA. Marketing activities will include newspaper advertisement, seat drops, station banners and online promotion on the Metrolink website. Bicycle Facility Upgrade at Riverside Downtown and North Main Corona Stations To mitigate the costs of ever increasing Metrolink ridership and additional parking facilities, and to promote alternatives to single driver auto commutes, it is important for the Commission to reasonably accommodate alternative modes of transportation to its stations. This includes connecting bicycle commutes. In order to accommodate Agenda Item 8G • 49 " " " and promote bicycle ridership, the Commission has invested in both bicycle lockers and racks at its West Corona, La Sierra and Pedley stations. Until recently, the Commission lacked secure and covered bicycle facilities at its two most utilized stations, Riverside Downtown and North Main Corona. In addition to bicycle racks, lockers provide an added level of security against possible theft and vandalism. However, conventional lockers require continuous maintenance and management. Lock mechanisms break; keys have to be distributed, tracked and hopefully returned; key deposits and refunds have to be tracked and accounted for; the potential for misuse, non-use and under use is significant as conventional lockers are assigned. All this adds complexity and cost to a conventional bike locker program, diminishing the benefit to the Commission as well as the overall passenger experience. To address such complexity and costs, alternatives to conventional bike lockerswere explored. The primary factor contributing to the complexity and cost of conventional lockers is the design. Essentially metal boxes, conventional lockers pose particular challenges to ensure proper and efficient use. In the past, lockers have been used for storage, remained assigned but unused, are an ideal habitat for any number of pests and pose a potential safety threat concealing devices intended to inflict public harm. Demonstration of the BikeLid's clamshell design. In consideration of these concerns, the Commission has purchased and installed six BikeLids at both the Riverside Downtown and North Main Corona stations. The BikeLid is a competitively priced alternative product that significantly alleviates both the complexity and cost of a traditional bike locker. The design is essentially hybrid, integrating the simplicity of a bike rack with a clamshell hinged lockable cover. BikeLids allow first come/first served single use while patrons utilize their own standard bicycle lock. This eliminates the need of a separate key and lock mechanism while still providing the security of covered storage, discouraging misuse and optimizing proper use. Furthermore, the unique design has been demonstrated to increase awareness and consideration of bicycle use. The BikeLid product is utilized at the Oceanside transit center. The units are durable, simple and attractive. BikeLid provides a 5-year warranty on material and workmanship. In addition, the Commission staff is considering additional bicycle facilities at the two stations, having constructed a designated bicycle area at the Riverside Downtown station.

Such services address the needs of transit dependent riders as well as help mitigate congestion and the necessity for expensive parking capacity at the Commission stations. The Commission is working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of transit connections. In order to meet these requirements, the Commission has worked with Metrolink and local transit operators to offer connecting services to and from Riverside County Metrolink stations at no cost for those with valid Metrolink tickets. Within Riverside County, services include free transfers to routes operated by RTA, RTA's Commuter Link service and Corona Cruiser.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In January 2008, the Commission began construction of the North Main Corona Metrolink parking structure. With the implementation of the parking strategy program, there has been an increase in transit connections to the stations on both RTA and Corona Cruiser. Also, the alternative Metrolink stations at West Corona and La Sierra have seen an increase in ridership. The main component of the strategy is the satellite parking program at 351 W. Rincon Street in Corona, which has proven to be a success. Since January, over 200 vehicles daily are using this site to park for the North Main Corona Metrolink station. The greater frequencies of the RTA service help morning commuters by providing quick and reliable connections in order to not miss their trains. The larger buses are especially helpful in the afternoons when the trains arrive and there is the need to move many passengers quickly. Passengers are extremely happy with the level of shuttle service, and there have been no complaints received for the shuttles or the satellite parking lot. At its April 9, 2008 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 08-25-095-00 with RTA to provide shuttle services to the North Main Corona station, however the required amendment to the SRTP was inadvertently omitted from the item. Agenda Item 8H 58 The cost related to RTA's shuttle services for the six-month period in FY 2007/08 totals $135,000 and will be paid from Commuter Rail operating LTF funds. The costs for shuttle services next year will be included in the Commission's FY 2008/09 budget and RTA's FY 2008/09 SRTP (both service levels and required funding).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As part of the Commission's biennial call for projects for the Western Riverside Measure A Specialized Transit program, the Independent Living Partnership was allocated $416,598 in FY 2007/08 for its Trip Reimbursement and Information Project (TRIP), which provides escorted travel for eligible program participants by volunteer drivers. The program provides disabled and frail senior citizens with transportation to medical appointments and other needed social service destinations. Volunteer drivers are reimbursed at $0.32 per mile for assisted travel. The Independent Living Partnership also provides information relating to other available means of transportation and discounted or free bus tickets for use on public transit for its clients. Annually, volunteers provide approximately 500 clients with over 60,000 (one-way) trips. Through the end of February 2008, 136 new TRIP applicants have been approved for program participation resulting in mileage reimbursements projected to exceed available funding. As a result, TRIP is requesting an additional allocation of $30,000 to cover increased program participation. The program is also requesting $2,000 as matching funds to acquire an updated version of Agenda Item 81 60 TripTrak software, the database program currently used to manage and monitor TRIP program operations and performance records. If approved, the additional funding will cover the cost of mileage reimbursement payments for Measure A participants through the end of June 2008 as well as the agency's software upgrade. There are adequate Measure A Specialized Transit funds available to cover the additional costs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its June 13, 2007 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 07-33-151-00 to Epic Land Solutions, Inc.; Agreement No. 07-33-153-00 to Real Estate Consulting & Services, Inc.; and Agreement No. 07-33-152-00 to Overland Pacific & Cutler, Inc. for on -call right-of-way property management services in the amount of $140,000 each. At the time of approval, it was not possible to accurately identify projects and specific properties that would require demolition, testing for and removal of hazardous materials, fencing, security, and other similar site -clearing related services. During the last few months, more detailed preliminary engineering work has been completed which identified more specifically the properties that would be needed for the Perris Valley Line, the Perris Multimodal Facility, the Agenda Item 8J 62 State Route 91/Adams Street to 60/91/215 interchange high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and the SR-60/East Junction to 1-215 HOV lanes.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: After having been involved with the construction of all of the Metrolink stations in Riverside County over 14 years ago, Volt Edge was contracted by the Commission to provide various minor general, electrical, and mechanical repair services on an as -needed basis at those same stations. In addition, Volt Edge has provided installation, repair, and maintenance services for Metrolink/Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA). As a result of its involvement in construction and the years of experience doing maintenance and repairs on the Metrolink stations, Volt Edge has gained a specialized and detailed knowledge of the electrical fixtures, hidden wiring and plumbing, and potential problem areas. This has benefited the Commission in terms of greater time and cost efficiencies in resolving electrical, plumbing, and equipment failures, enhancing staff's ability to respond effectively to emergencies. The existing contract with Volt Edge will soon expire. Given the specialized knowledge of this firm, staff therefore recommends that an agreement be executed with Volt Edge Services for a period of three years, at $50,000 per year, with a not to exceed amount of $150,000.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Commission Legislation Moves Forward Both of the Commission's sponsored bills in Sacramento have been approved by their first policy committees. AB 1954 (Jeffries), to authorize the Commission to implement high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on Interstate 15, cleared the Assembly Transportation Committee unanimously. Executive Director Anne Mayer testified on behalf of the bill. AB 1954 will now move to the Assembly Appropriations Committee, where the bill will be assessed for its cost to the state. SB 1316 (Correa), which will allow the Commission to implement an extension of the State Route 91 express lanes, was approved by the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee by an 8-2 vote. Commissioner Mary Craton traveled to Sacramento to meet with the committee's chairman, Senator Alan Lowenthal ID -Long Beach), and testify in support of the bill alongside representatives from Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). That bill will now go to the Senate Appropriations Committee to assess its cost to the state. These initial steps are encouraging signs, although both bills have a long vetting process by the Legislature still ahead. Assemblymember Kevin Jeffries and Senator Lou Correa are both owed credit for their leadership in carrying this important legislation. Agenda Item 8M 68 AB 3021 (Nava), Recommended Position: Support This bill would create the California Transportation Financing Authority (CTFA) for increased construction of new capacity for the state highway system through the issuance of revenue bonds. The objective of CTFA is to increase the construction of new capacity for the state highway system through the issuance of, or the approval of the issuance of, revenue bonds secured by Local Transportation Funds (LTF), fuel taxes, fuel sales taxes, local transportation sales taxes, developer fees, tolls, and other state revenues approved for this purposes by the Legislature or by initiative. The CTFA would be chaired by the state treasurer, and also include the director of finance, state controller, Ca!trans director, California Transportation Commission (CTC) executive director, and two local agency representatives appointed by the Legislature. The bill provides an entity through which agencies such as the Commission could apply to the state for authority to perform innovative financing on projects such as SR-91 and 1-15 for which the Commission is already pursuing authority by statute. The bill moves the state closer to developing a coherent policy on issues of tolling and alternative project financing. Staff recommends a support position on the bill, based on the Commission's experience of pursuing authority to finance important capacity -enhancing projects absent an existing comprehensive legal framework. AB 1854 (Duvall), Recommended Position: Work with Author This bill would delete the California Public Utilities Commission's Section 190 grade separation funding program. The program provides $15 million annually to grade separation projects according to a prioritized statewide list. The program was the subject of a Bureau of State Audits report last year at the request of local Assemblymember John Benoit (R-Bermuda Dunes). The audit recommended that the Legislature follow one of two paths: fund the program at a higher level or eliminate it all together and reconsider the state's role in funding grade separations. Previous attempts to fund the program at a higher level have failed, and considering the state's fiscal problems, it is unlikely that the program will receive more money anytime soon. Assemblymember Benoit has passed legislation that helps clean-up some of the arcane parts of the program, and Assemblymember Cathleen Galgiani (D-Merced) is currently authoring a bill, which the Commission is seeking to amend that would further reform the structure of the program. Assemblymember Michael Duvall's bill would take the state auditor's latter recommendation and do away with the program. Grade separations would then become eligible to compete in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the $15 million that would otherwise be spent on grade separations would be added to the STIP program. This bill has cleared its first policy committee; however it is expected to be further amended upon stakeholder input. Mr. Duvall's office has expressed an openness to Agenda Item 8M 69 " discuss changes to the bill. Commission staff recommends that the Commission adopt a "work with author" position on this bill. The impact of moving grade separations to the STIP program requires further evaluation. Changes to grade separation funding should enhance the state's role in funding grade separations. Proposition 98, Recommended Position: Oppose The June California Primary ballot will include two initiatives relating to eminent domain: Propositions 98 and 99. Consistent with the Commission's position on the most recent eminent domain initiative to qualify for the ballot in 2006, Proposition 90, staff is recommending an oppose position for Proposition 98. In many ways, Prop 98 is similar to Prop 90, and is an attempt by Prop 90 proponents to again achieve "reform" of eminent domain in California in the wake of the Kelo vs. New London, CT Supreme Court decision. Prop 98 has been opposed by the League of California Cities, the California Transportation Commission, and other transportation agencies in California. The basis for the recommended oppose position is the vast potential for increased transportation project costs and delays to project delivery. Prop 98 institutes new requirements and processes mandated with regard to property acquisition by agencies such as the Commission or Ca!trans. The initiative would require transportation agencies to compensate property owners for attorney's fees and litigation expenses if the court awards more for a property than the agency was offering, even if agencies acts in good faith with a reasonable settlement offer. Currently property owners are responsible for their own expenses in this regard. "Just compensation" is also expanded to include temporary business losses, relocation expenses, business reestablishment costs, and "other actual and reasonable expenses incurred." This definition is not well-defined and rather open- ended, exposing the Commission to an unknown magnitude of cost impacts on transportation projects. Also, as Prop 90 did, there is an increased exposure to litigation over the intent of the vague and open-ended language of Prop 98. This is likely to result in increased project delays and increased costs. The initiative also creates impediments to transportation agencies implementing "public -private partnerships" because of the proposition's restrictions on acquiring land for private purposes. Federal Update Transportation has finally become a topic in the race for White House. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), the presumed Republican nominee for President, has proposed to suspend the federal gas tax for three months this summer in order to provide an economic stimulus.

Agenda Item 9 72 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its April 9, 2008 meeting, the Commission directed staff to continue: efforts to develop a plan to refinance the outstanding commercial paper as a result of the need for additional financing capacity. Drafts of the proposed documents relating to the issuance of the 2008 Series A Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (2008 Bonds) were also provided at that meeting for preliminary consideration. The continuing efforts regarding the plan to refinance the commercial paper included presentations to the rating agencies to confirm the strong credit ratings on the Commission's outstanding bonds and to seek ratings on the 2008 Bonds. Meetings were held on April 21, 2008 in New York with Standards & Poor's and Fitch Ratings and on April 30, 2008 in San Francisco with Moody's Investors Service. Credit ratings are expected to be received by May 7, 2008 and will be presented at the May 14, 2008 Commission meeting. The financing team has also continued to review and revise the draft documents as the specific details of the plan of finance have been refined. The financing team is comprised of the following key members: • Financial Advisor: Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates; • Bond Counsel: Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP; • Disclosure Counsel: Nossaman, Guthner, Knox & Elliott LLP; • General Counsel: Best, Best & Krieger LLP; • Underwriters/Remarketing Agents: Lehman Brothers and Banc of America Securities LLC; and • Underwriters Counsel: Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth. The latest drafts of the following documents for the 2008 Bonds are included as attachments to this staff report for the Commission's adoption or approval: • Preliminary official statement (draft); • Resolution No. 08-010 (draft) authorizing the issuance and sale of a not to exceed amount of sales tax revenue bonds; the execution and delivery of an indenture, supplemental indenture, purchase contract, and official statement; and the taking of all other actions necessary in connection with this transaction; • Indenture between the Commission and the trustee (draft) regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of sales tax revenue bonds; • First supplemental indenture between the Commission and the trustee (draft) regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the 2008 Bonds; and Agenda Item 9 73 • " " " Bond purchase agreement (draft) between Lehman Brothers, as senior managing underwriter and representative of the underwriters, and the Commission regarding the purchase of the 2008 Bonds. As noted at the April 9, 2008 Commission meeting, one of the actions at today's meeting is for the Commission to approve the form of the Preliminary Official Statement and authorize its distribution in connection with the sales of the 2008 Bonds, as well as the preparation of a final Official Statement once the 2008 Bonds have been priced. These offering documents are required under state and federal securities laws prohibiting the offer and sale of securities such as the 2008 Bonds unless all matters that would be material to an investor in the 2008 Bonds have been adequately disclosed and that there is no omission of material facts. Furthermore, under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the underwriters cannot purchase the 2008 Bonds unless they have received a "substantially final" offering document which discloses all material information that they reasonably believe to be true and correct. The Commissioners serving on the Board as the governing body of the issuer of the 2008 Bonds are expected to read and be familiar with the information described in the draft Preliminary Official Statement included with this staff report. The Commissioners may employ the services of experts to take the lead in the drafting and review of the official statement; however, the Commissioners have the duty to review the information and bring to the attention of those responsible for the preparation of the offering document any misstatements or omissions in the draft and to ask questions if they are unclear about the information or their role. The financing team will be available at the Commission meeting to respond to the identification of any misstatements or omissions or to such questions. Significant changes to these documents are not anticipated, with the exception of the final details of the bond pricing scheduled for May 28-29, 2008. Since general legal counsel is a key member of the financing team, staff recommends that the executive director be authorized to approve and execute the final documents. The preclosing activities related to the 2008 Bonds, including the execution of all documents, is scheduled for June 9, 2008 at the offices of bond counsel in San Francisco. Executive Director Anne Mayer and Chief Financial Officer Theresia Trevino are scheduled to attend the preclosing meeting. Plan of Finance The plan of finance is to issue approximately $130 million of sales tax revenue bonds to refinance the outstanding commercial paper of approximately $110 million; fund capitalized interest on the bonds through December 1, 2009, Agenda Item 9 74 since sales tax receipts will not commence until September 2009; establish a debt service reserve fund; and pay costs of issuance of the 2008 Bonds. The 2008 Bonds are long-term bonds due in June 2029 with a mandatory tender to purchase the' 2008 Bonds on December 1, 2009. The initial interest rate will be a fixed interest rate through December 1, 2009. On December 1, 2009, the 2008 Bonds will be required to be remarketed and a new long-term rate period would be established. In the unlikely event that the Commission does not have access to the capital markets on December 1, 2009, the existing bond holders would continue to own the 2008 Bonds and those bonds will bear an interest rate of 11 % until such time as the bonds can be remarketed. Considering the Commission's current strong underlying credit ratings, there are no plans to obtain a liquidity facility (e.g., letter of credit) or credit enhancement (e.g., bond insurance) to support the 2008 Bonds. The 2008 Bonds will be repaid solely from 2009 Measure A sales tax receipts. This plan of finance was presented to the rating agencies, and the presentation is included as an attachment to this staff report. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 08-010, approval of the draft preliminary official statement; indenture, first supplemental indenture, and bond purchase agreement, and authorization of the Executive Director to approve and execute the final documents.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to DTC Direct Participants, by DTC Direct Participants to DTC Indirect Participants, and by DTC Direct Participants and DTC Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners of Series 2008 Bonds will be governed by arrangements among them, and the Commission and the Trustee will not have any responsibility or obligation to send a Conversion Notice to Beneficial Owners of Series 2008 Bonds. Rescission of Notice of Conversion. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, the Commission may rescind any previously given Conversion Notice by giving written notice thereof to the Notice Parties two or more Business Days prior to the proposed Conversion Date. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission prior to the time the Trustee has given notice of the proposed Conversion to DTC, then the Conversion Notice previously delivered by the Commission shall be of no force and effect. If the Trustee receives notice from the Commission of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice of the proposed Conversion to DTC, then the Series 2008 Bonds shall continue to be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the proposed Conversion Date (unless, prior to the proposed Conversion Date, the Series 2008 Bonds were in a Long -Term Rate Period for which there was no Liquidity Facility) and the Rate Period for the Series 2008 Bonds shall automatically adjust to, or continue as, a Weekly Rate Period on the proposed Conversion Date. Failure to Convert. The Indenture includes provisions setting forth the procedures and conditions for the exercise by the Commission of its right of conversion of Series 2008 Bonds from one Interest Rate Determination Method to another, including the conditions described above under "— Right of Conversion'. Under certain circumstances, a planned conversion may not be completed. However, once a notice of conversion is provided to DTC as described above, all Series 2008 Bonds must be tendered for purchase (whether or not the planned conversion is completed, unless the planned conversion is from a Long -Term Rate Period for which there is no Liquidity Facility and the conversion is not completed, in which case the tender will be cancelled). The Indenture provides that a failed conversion of Series 2008 Bonds to another Interest Rate Determination Method means that the Series 2008 Bonds will continue to bear interest at the Interest Rate Determination Method in effect prior to the proposed Conversion Date (as if no proceedings for Conversion had taken place) and the rate of interest thereon shall be determined on the proposed Conversion Date. If the failed conversion is due to insufficient funds to purchase all Series 2008 Bonds (from remarketing proceeds or from funds provided by a 2008 Liquidity Provider, if any), that interest rate is required by the Indenture to be the lesser of the SIFMA Swap Index plus 3% and the Maximum Interest Rate (unless the conditions described below under "Long -Term Rate Period — End of Long -Term Rate" apply, in which case the interest rate is required to be 11% per annum) from the date of such failed purchase until all Series 2008 Bonds are purchased as required in accordance with the Indenture, and all tendered Series 2008 Bonds will be returned to their respective owners. 6 • • 101 i Long -Term Rate Period Conversion to or Continuation of Long -Term Rate. During a Long -Term Rate Period after the initial Long -Term Rate Period, the Series 2008 Bonds shall bear interest at the Long - Term Rate. The Interest Rate Determination Method for the Series 2008 Bonds may be converted by the Commission to a Long -Term Rate from another Interest Rate Determination Method, by the Commission's delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Notice Parties. See "Conversion of Interest Rate Determination Method" above. Prior to the end of a Long -Term Rate Period, the Commission may also elect to establish a new Long -Term Rate Period and Long -Term Rate for the Series 2008 Bonds, by its delivery of a Long -Term Rate Continuation Notice to the Notice Parties. The Long -Term Rate Continuation Notice must be accompanied by (i) an Opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the new Long -Term. Rate Period is authorized and permitted under the Indenture and will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the Tax -Exempt status of the interest on the Series 2008 Bonds, and (ii) a notice of any 2008 Liquidity Facility or any 2008 Credit Enhancement, if at the same time as the new Long -Term Rate Period is being established there will be any 2008 Liquidity Facility or 2008 Credit Enhancement with respect to the Series 2008 Bonds. The Commission shall select the duration of each Long -Term Rate Period and shall include the duration of the Long -Term Rate Period in the Conversion Notice or the Long -Term Rate Continuation Notice, as applicable, delivered with respect to such Long -Term Rate Period. Each Long -Term Rate Period shall commence on the Long -Term Rate Conversion Date and end on a Business Day selected by the Commission which is a minimum of 180 days after the Long - Term Rate Conversion Date, but in no event later than the maturity date of the Series 2008 Bonds. The Long -Term Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day no later than the Business Day next preceding the Long -Term Conversion Date. Subject to certain provisions of the Indenture, the Long -Term Rate shall be the rate of interest per annum determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the minimum interest rate which, if borne by the Series 2008 Bonds, would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Series 2008 Bonds on the Long -Term Conversion Date at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to the principal amount thereof (except as otherwise provided under "- Sale at Premium or Discount" below) End of Long -Term Rate. If, prior to the end of any Long -Term Rate Period, the Commission has not given a Long -Term Rate Continuation Notice or a Conversion Notice at the time required by the Indenture, or if the conditions to the effectiveness of a new Long -Term Rate Period or Conversion to a new Interest Rate Determination Method set forth in the Indenture are not satisfied, including as a result of the Remarketing Agent failing to remarket all the Series 2008 Bonds on the day following the last day of the current Long -Term Rate Period, then on such day the Series 2008 Bonds will automatically commence to bear interest at a Weekly Rate of 11% per annum. The Series 2008 Bonds will continue to bear interest at a Weekly Rate of 11% per annum until such time as the Series 2008 Bonds are successfully remarketed at an Interest Rate Determination Method in accordance with the Indenture. During such Weekly Rate Period, the Series 2008 Bonds will not be subject to optional tender, and notice of Conversion to another Interest Rate Determination Method may be given 5 Business Days prior to the Conversion Date. Notice of Conversion to or Continuation of Long -Term Rate. The Trustee shall give notice of a conversion to a (or the establishment of another) Long -Term Rate Period for the 7 102 Series 2008 Bonds to DTC not less than 15 days prior to the proposed effective date of such Long -Term Rate Period.

Sale at Premium or Discount. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the Long -Term Rate shall be the rate of interest per annum determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the interest rate which, if borne by the Series 2008 Bonds, would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Series 2008 Bonds at a price (without regard to accrued interest) which will result in the lowest net interest cost for the Series 2008 Bonds, after taking into account any premium or discount at which the Series 2008 Bonds are sold by the Remarketing Agent, provided that: (1) The Remarketing Agent certifies to the Trustee and the Commission that the sale of the Series 2008 Bonds at the interest rate and premium or discount specified by the Remarketing Agent is expected to result in the lowest net interest cost for the Series 2008 Bonds on the Long -Term Rate Conversion Date; (2) The Commission consents in writing to the sale of the Series 2008 Bonds by the Remarketing Agent at such premium or discount; (3) In the case of Series 2008 Bonds to be sold at a discount, either (a) a Series 2008 Liquidity Facility is in effect with respect to such Series 2008 Bonds and provides for the purchase of such Series 2008 Bonds at such discount or (b) the Commission agrees to transfer to the Remarketing Agent on the Long -Term Rate Conversion Date, in immediately available funds, for deposit in the 2008 Bonds Purchase Fund, an amount equal to such discount; (4) In the case of Series 2008 Bonds to be sold at a premium, the Remarketing Agent shall transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Revenue Fund an amount equal to such premium, which amount may be used to pay the specific costs of conversion; (5) On or before the date of the determination of the Long -Term Rate, the Commission delivers to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent a letter of Bond Counsel to the effect that Bond Counsel expects to be able to give a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel on the Long -Term Rate Conversion Date; and (6) On or before the Long -Term Rate Conversion Date, a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel shall have been received by the Trustee and confirmed to the Commission and the Remarketing Agent. 8 103 " Payment of Principal and Interest The Series 2008 Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds without coupons and, when issued, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.

The Commission will designate which maturities of Series 2008 Bonds are to be redeemed; provided that Series 2008 Bonds registered in the name of a 2008 Liquidity Provider must be redeemed prior to redeeming any other Series 2008 Bonds. If less than all Series 2008 Bonds maturing on any one date are to be redeemed at any one time, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each DTC Direct Participant in the Series 2008 Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of such selection, the Series 2008 Bonds shall be deemed to be composed of multiples of minimum Authorized Denominations and any such multiple may be separately redeemed. The Commission may designate the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments, or portions thereof, that are to be reduced as a result of such redemption. Notice of Redemption. The Trustee will send each notice of redemption by first class mail not less than 10 nor more than 90 days prior to the redemption date, to DTC, the Remarketing Agent and other parties specified in the Indenture.

Mandatory Tender Provisions Tenders of Series 2008 Bonds and Deliveries of Converted Series 2008 Bonds Are Subject to DTC Procedures. As long as the book -entry only system is in effect with respect to the Series 2008 Bonds, all tenders for purchase and deliveries upon Conversion of Series 2008 Bonds tendered for purchase or subject to mandatory tender under the provisions of the Indenture shall be made pursuant to DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time, and neither the Commission; the Trustee, nor any Remarketing Agent shall have any responsibility for or liability with respect to the implementation of these procedures. For a description of the tender procedures through DTC, see "APPENDIX D — BOOK —ENTRY SYSTEM." Mandatory Tender for Purchase. The Series 2008 Bonds will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase, at a Purchase Price equal to the principal amount thereof, on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the initial Long -Term Rate Period; provided, however, that if all Series 2008 Bonds are not successfully remarketed on such date, the mandatory tender will be cancelled.

After the initial Long -Term Rate Period, the Series 2008 Bonds will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the date of each proposed Conversion to a new Interest Rate Determination Method and on such other dates as are specified in the Indenture. PLAN OF FINANCE The Series 2008 Bonds are being issued in order to refinance all of the outstanding principal amount of the Commercial Paper Notes and all or a portion of the accrued interest thereon, (ii) fund capitalized interest on the Series 2008 Bonds to December 1, 2009, (iii) fund a reserve fund for the Series 2008 Bonds, and (iv) pay costs of issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds. In March 2005, the Commission authorized the issuance of its Commercial Paper Notes (Limited Tax Bonds) Series A in an aggregate principal amount up to $110,000,000 and Series B in an aggregate principal amount up to $75,000,000. As of April 15, 2008, there is $110,005,000 outstanding principal amount of Notes. The Notes are secured by a pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues in favor of the holders of the Series 2008 Bonds. The principal of and interest on the Notes are payable from draws under an irrevocable, direct pay letter of credit issued by Bank of America, N.A. (the `Bank"), pursuant to a reimbursement agreement dated as of March 1, 2005 ("Reimbursement Agreement") by and between the Commission and the Bank. The stated amount of the letter of credit may not exceed $190,000,000. The letter of credit expires March 29, 2010, unless terminated earlier as provided 12 • 107 " " " in the Reimbursement Agreement. The Commission's obligation to reimburse the Bank for draws under the letter of credit to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes is secured by a pledge of Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge in favor of the holders of the Series 2008 Bonds and on parity with the obligation to pay Note holders. The Commission may continue to issue the Notes while the Series 2008 Bonds are outstanding. The Commission has entered into the Initial Swap Agreements, in a combined notional amount of $185,000,000, which Initial Swap Agreements have an effective date of October 1, 2009 and expire on June 1, 2029. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2008 BONDS  Initial Swap Agreements" herein._ Pursuant to the Initial Swap Agreements, the Commission has agreed to pay a fixed interest rate to the Bank and Lehman, and the Bank and Lehman have agreed to pay the Commission a floating rate of interest. To secure its obligation to make regularly scheduled payments to the Bank and Lehman pursuant to the Initial Swap Agreements, until the Commission issues variable rate debt payable from the Sales Tax Revenues on a senior lien basis to the Notes, the Commission has pledged the Sales Tax Revenues on a parity basis with the obligation to pay principal of and interest on the Notes and to reimburse the Bank for draws under the letter of credit; after issuance of any variable rate debt payable from the Sales Tax Revenues on a senior lien basis to the Notes (such as the Series 2008 Bonds), the pledge of Sales Tax Revenues in favor of Lehman and the Bank will be on a parity basis with the pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues in favor of the senior lien variable rate bond holders. Accordingly, the Commission's obligation to make regularly scheduled payments under the Initial Swap Agreements will constitute a Parity Obligation under the Indenture. The Commission's obligation to pay any early termination amounts to Lehman and the Bank pursuant to the Initial Swap Agreements is secured by a pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge in favor of the Series 2008 Bonds and the Notes. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2008 BONDS  Initial Swap Agreements". APPLICATION OF SERIES 2008 BOND PROCEEDS The proceeds from the sale of the Series 2008 Bonds will be applied as follows: Sources of Funds: Principal Amount of Bonds $ [Plus/Less]: Original Issue [Premium/Discount] Total Sources: $ Uses of Funds: Notes Escrow 2008 Capitalized Interest Fund(1) Costs of Issuance(2) Reserve Fund Total Uses: 0) Capitalized interest calculated from the date of the delivery of the Series 2008 Bonds to December 1, 2009.

The Commission may by Supplemental Indenture establish one or more additional Series of Bonds payable from Sales Tax Revenues and secured by the pledge made under the Indenture equally and ratably with the Series 2008 Bonds, but only upon compliance by the Commission with the provisions of the Indenture. Certain of the applicable provisions of the Indenture are described below: (a) No Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. (b) If so required in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of such Series, either (i) a Bond Reserve Fund shall be established to provide additional security for such Series of Bonds or (ii) the balance in the existing Bond Reserve Fund, forthwith upon the receipt of the proceeds of the sale of Bonds of such Series shall be increased, if necessary, to an amount at least equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement with respect to all Bonds to be considered Outstanding upon the issuance of Bonds of such Series. Said deposit may be made from the proceeds of the sale of Bonds of such Series or from other funds of the Commission or from both such sources or in the form of a letter of credit or surety bond or insurance policy as described under "APPENDIX C SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE - Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund." (c) The Commission shall place on file with the Trustee a Certificate of the Commission certifying that the amount of Sales Tax Revenues and 1988 Sales Tax Revenues collected during the Fiscal Year for which audited financial statements are available preceding the date on which such additional Series of Bonds will become Outstanding shall have been at least equal to 1.5 times Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Series of Bonds and Parity Obligations then Outstanding and the additional Series of Bonds then proposed to be issued, which Certificate shall also set forth the computations upon which such Certificate is based. Nothing in the Indenture shall prevent or be construed to prevent the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of an additional Series of Bonds from pledging or otherwise providing, in addition to the security given or intended to be given by the Indenture, additional security for the benefit of such additional Series of Bonds or any portion thereof Issuance of Refunding Bonds. Refunding Bonds may be authorized and issued by the Commission without compliance with the provisions of the Indenture described above under "Issuance of Additional Series of Bonds" and other terms of the Indenture; provided that Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Obligations Outstanding following the issuance of such Refunding Bonds is less than or equal to Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds and Parity Obligations Outstanding prior to the issuance of such Refunding Bonds. 17 112 Issuance of Parity Obligations. The Commission may also issue Parity Obligations which will have, when issued, an equal lien and charge upon the Sales Tax Revenues, provided that the conditions to the issuance of such Parity Obligations set forth in the Indenture are satisfied, including satisfaction of the coverage test described in subsection (c) above under the caption "Issuance of Additional Series of Bonds (unless such Parity Obligations are being issued for refunding purposes, in which case the coverage test shall not apply)." As defined in the Indenture, "Parity Obligations" means any indebtedness, installment sale obligation, lease obligation or other obligation of the Commission for borrowed money, the Initial Swap Agreements and any other Interest Rate Swap Agreement (excluding fees and expenses and termination payments on Interest Rate Swap Agreements) entered into in connection with a Series of Bonds, in each case incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and having an equal lien and charge upon the Sales Tax Revenues and therefore being payable on a parity with the Bonds (whether or not any Bonds are Outstanding). The Commission's obligation to make regularly scheduled payments under the Initial Swap Agreements constitutes a Parity Obligation under the Indenture. Initial Swap Agreements The Commission has entered into the following interest rate swap agreements (collectively, the "Initial Swap Agreements"), in a combined notional amount of $185,000000, which Initial Swap Agreements have an effective date of October 1, 2009 and expire on June 1, 2029: a. An ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2006, between the Bank and the Commission, as supplemented by the Schedule, dated as of August 22, 2006 and the confirmation of a transaction entered into on August 22, 2006 between the Bank and the Commission (the "Bank Swap Agreement"); and b. An ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2006, between Lehman Brothers Derivative Products Inc. ("Lehman") and the Commission, as supplemented by the Schedule, dated as of August 22, 2006 and the confirmation of a transaction entered into on August 22, 2006 between Lehman and the Commission (the "Lehman Swap Agreement"). The Commission's obligation to make regularly scheduled payments to the swap counterparties under the Initial Swap Agreements is secured by Sales Tax Revenues on a parity basis with the Commission's obligation to pay principal of and interest on the Series 2008 Bonds, and therefore such obligation constitutes a Parity Obligation under the Indenture. The Commission's obligation to make any early termination payment under the Initial Swap Agreements is secured by a pledge of Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge of Sales Tax Revenues in favor of the Series 2008 Bonds, Parity Obligations and payment of principal of and interest on Subordinate Obligations. The Bank Swap Agreement is in the notional amount of $100,000,000. Pursuant to this agreement, the Commission has agreed to pay the Bank a floating rate equal to 67% of USD- LIBOR (One Month) and the Bank has agreed to pay the Commission a fixed rate equal to 3.6790%. The Bank Swap Agreement is subject to early termination in the event that the 18 • 113 " unenhanced ratings on the Series 2008 Bonds issued by Moody's and S&P fall below investment grade or are withdrawn or suspended; a reduction in the long-term unsubordinated ratings of the Bank below investment grade can also result in an early termination of the Bank Swap Agreement. The Commission has the option of terminating the Bank Swap Agreement upon two Business Days' notice provided it has sufficient funds to pay any early termination amount. The Lehman Swap Agreement is in the notional amount of $85,000,000. Pursuant to this agreement, the Commission has agreed to pay Lehman a floating rate equal to 67% of USD- LIBOR (One Month) and Lehman has agreed to pay the Commission a fixed rate equal to 3.6790%. Under certain circumstances, Lehman's rights and obligations under the Lehman Swap Agreement can be assigned to Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. ("LBSF") in which event LBSF's obligations would be guaranteed by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The Lehman Swap Agreement is subject to early termination in the event that the unenhanced ratings on the Series 2008 Bonds issued by Moody's and S&P fall below investment grade or are withdrawn or suspended; if LBSF has been substituted for Lehman, a reduction in the unenhanced unsecured senior debt ratings of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. below investment grade can also result in an early termination of the Lehman Swap Agreement. The Commission has the option of terminating the Lehman Swap Agreement upon two Business Days' notice provided it has sufficient funds to pay any early termination amount. Subordinate Obligations The Commission may issue obligations ("Subordinate Obligations") payable out of Sales Tax Revenues on a basis subordinate to the payment of the principal, premium, interest and reserve fund requirements for the Bonds and all Parity Obligations, as the same become due and payable. The Notes and the credit agreements supporting the Notes constitute Subordinate Obligations under the Indenture. The Commission's obligation to make early termination payments under the Initial Swap Agreements is secured by a pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues subordinate to the pledge in favor of the Series 2008 Bonds, Parity Obligations and payment of principal of and interest on Subordinate Obligations. THE SALES TAX General The Act, among other things, authorizes the Commission to develop a countywide consensus on a proposed transaction expenditure plan to be submitted to the voters as part of an ordinance imposing a retail transactions and use tax in the County in accordance with the provisions of the California Transactions and Use Tax Law (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7251, et. seq.). In accordance with the Act, on November 5, 2002, more than two-thirds of the voters of the County voting on the measure approved Measure "A", which authorized the imposition of the Sales Tax in the County commencing in July 2009. The Sales Tax will be collected for a thirty year period. The Sales Tax consists of a one-half of one percent (1/2%) sales tax on the gross receipts of retailers from the sale of tangible personal property sold in the county and a use tax at the same rate upon the storage, use or other consumption in the county of such property purchased from any retailer for storage, use or other consumption in the county, subject to certain limited exceptions described below. 19 114 The one-half of one percent sales tax imposed in the county for transportation purposes and administered by the Commission, is in addition to a seven and one -quarter percent sales tax levied statewide by the State of California. In general, the statewide sales tax applies to the gross receipts of retailers from the sale of tangible personal property. The statewide use tax is imposed on the storage, use or other consumption in the state of property purchased from a retailer for such storage, use or other consumption. Since the use tax does not apply to cases where the sale of the property is subject to the sales tax, the application of the use tax generally is to purchases made outside of the state for use within the state. The Sales Tax is generally imposed upon the same transactions and items subject to the sales and use tax levied statewide by the state (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "State Sales Tax"), with generally the same exceptions. Many categories of transactions are exempt from the State Sales Tax and the Sales Tax. The most important of these exemptions are: sales of food products for home consumption, prescription medicine, edible livestock and their feed, seed and fertilizer used in raising food for human consumption, and gas, electricity and water when delivered to consumers through mains, lines and pipes. In addition, "Occasional Sales" (i.e., sales of property not held or used by a seller in the course of activities for which he or she is required to hold a seller's permit) are generally exempt from the State Sales Tax and from the Sales Tax; however, the "Occasional Sales" exemption does not apply to the sale of an entire business and other sales of machinery and equipment used in a business. Sales of property to be used outside the county which are shipped to a point outside the county, pursuant to the contract of sale, by delivery to such point by the retailer, or by delivery by the retailer to a carrier for shipment to a consignee, at such point, are exempt from the State Sales Tax and from the Sales Tax. Action by the State Legislature or by voter initiative could change the transactions and items upon which the State Sales Tax and the Sales Tax are imposed. The State Legislature could further change the transactions and items upon which the State Sales Tax and the Sales Tax are imposed. In addition, other voter initiative measures could be adopted, further affecting the receipt of sales tax revenues. Such changes or amendments could have either an adverse or beneficial effect on the sales tax revenues. The Commission is not currently aware of any proposed legislative change which would have a material adverse effect on sales tax revenues. See also "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS Proposition 218" below. Collection of Sales Tax Revenues Collection of the Sales Tax is administered by the California State Board of Equalization (the 'BOE" or the "State Board of Equalization"). The Commission and the State Board of Equalization have entered into an agreement for state administration of district transactions and use taxes to authorize payment of Sales Tax Revenues directly to the Trustee. The State Board of Equalization, after deducting amounts payable to itself, is required to remit the balance of amounts received from the Sales Tax directly to the Trustee. The Trustee is required to apply the Sales Tax Revenues to make deposits to the funds and accounts established under the Indenture and to transfer the remaining amounts to U.S. Bank Trust National Association,, as issuing and paying agent for the Notes (the "Issuing and Paying Agent"). The remaining unapptied Sales Tax Revenues, if any, are transferred to the Commission for use for any purpose contemplated by the ordinance. The fee charged by the BOE to the Commission for fiscal year 2006-07 for collection of the 1988 Sales Tax was $1,395,000. The fee that the BOE is authorized to charge 20 115 i • for collection of The Sales Tax is determined by State Legislation; there can be no assurances that the amount of this fee or the method for determining the amount of the fee will be the same in July 2009, when collection of the Sales Tax commences. 1988 Sales Tax Revenues The 1988 Sales Tax (as defined below) represents an additional source of revenue to the Commission, is a separate tax from the Sales Tax and does not secure the Series 2008 Bonds. On November 8, 1988, more than two-thirds of the voters approved the Riverside County Transportation Commission Transportation Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance (the "Prior Ordinance") which authorized the imposition of a -retail transactions and use tax of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the gross receipts of retailers from the sales of all tangible personal property sold at retail in the county and a use tax at the same rate upon the storage, use or other consumption in the County of Riverside ("County") of such property purchased from any retailer for storage, use or other consumption in the county, subject to certain limited exceptions (the "1988 Sales Tax"). The 1988 Sales Tax ceases to be effective on June 30, 2009, with major collection of the 1988 Sales Tax to be received by the Commission no later than September 30, 2009. The Commission has issued indebtedness secured by the 1988 Sales Tax and expects all outstanding principal and interest on these obligations to be fully paid on or before June 1, 2009. The Sales Tax does not serve as security for the repayment of the obligations secured by the 1988 Sales Tax. The following table shows the 1988 Sales Tax remitted to the Commission during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 through June 30, 2007.

Source: The Commission 21 116 The Series 2008 Bonds are not secured by 1988 Sales Tax Revenues. Annual 1988 Sales Tax Revenues to be received as projected for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008, total $145,000,000. The projection of 1988 Sales Tax receipts for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008 represents a 7.70% decline from Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007. This decline is higher than what is being experienced at the state and national level with regard to sales tax receipts for this period. There can be no assurances if and when sales tax receipts will begin to increase. For a summary of historical taxable retail sales within the County see the table entitled "County of Riverside, Taxable Sales Transactions" in APPENDIX B of this Official Statement. RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION General The Commission is charged with a number of important responsibilities in serving the residents of the County. Administering the prior sales tax program, which has raised more than $1 billion, is by far the most prominent of these responsibilities. The Commission, which has the responsibility of placing future transportation ballot measures before the public, was successful in November 2002 in obtaining more than two-thirds voter approval of the Sales Tax. In addition to the Commission's Measure A responsibilities, the Commission has also been designated as the congestion management agency (the "CMA") for the County. As the CMA, the Commission has developed a congestion management program that more effectively utilizes transportation funds by linking land use, transportation and air quality efforts. The Commission serves as the service authority for freeway emergencies and operates the freeway service patrol (the "FSP") for the County. The results of these programs — 650 call boxes along the County roadways and 20 FSP tow trucks providing assistance to more than 55,000 motorists annually — are among the most visible of the Commission's programs. In 1998, the State Legislature gave new authority to the Commission by changing the way funding is distributed from the State Transportation Improvement Program, which is funded through state and federal gas taxes. In simple terms, counties no longer apply to the State for funding their most urgent transportation needs. Instead, State transportation dollars are given directly as an entitlement, leaving the decision -making about transportation spending up to the designated county transportation commission like the Commission. While this gives the Commission greater control over how transportation dollars are spent, it also requires a much higher level of local communication and participation to determine how these dollars are spent throughout a county with so many transportation needs. The Commission has the responsibility to program funds received under the California Transportation Development Act, a statewide source of funding for transit purposes, primarily to the County's major public transit providers, although the Commission has no responsibility to provide transit services. In order to enhance county -wide participation and improve its decision -making, the Commission made a major change in its structure in 1999 by expanding the Board from eight members to thirty. The expanded Commission ensures better representation throughout the 22 117 " " " County and provides the participatory framework for continued success among these responsibilities. Commissioners Section 130053 of the California Public Utilities Code specifies that the Commission consists of five members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, one member from each incorporated city in Riverside County (each of whom must be a mayor or member of the City Council) and one non -voting member appointed by the governor of the State of California. The role of the Commission is to act as the policy -making board for Riverside County transportation activities. Executive Staff The Commission's key staff members, the position held by each and a brief statement of the background of each staff member are set forth below. ANNE MAYER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. Anne Mayer was appointed in October 2007 as the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission. She is responsible for overall management of the Commission including execution of operational policies and procedures and all personnel decisions. Ms. Mayer joined the Commission in May 2005 as Deputy Executive Director. Prior to joining the Commission, she was the District 8 Director for the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS). As District Director, she was responsible for management of the state highway system in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. With over 24 years of experience in the public works field, Ms. Mayer was with CALTRANS for 14 of those years. Ms. Mayer holds a civil engineering degree from Michigan State University. JOHN STANDIFORD, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. In January 2008, John Standiford was appointed as Deputy Executive Director for the Commission, he joined the Commission in 1999 and was the Public Affairs Director prior to his new appointment. He also served as the Manager of Government and Media Relations for the Orange County Transportation Authority, where he worked for more than seven years. Earlier in his career, Mr. Standiford worked for three state legislators from the Los Angeles area. He received his bachelor and masters degrees from the University of California, Irvine. THERESIA TREVINO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. Ms. Trevino joined the Commission as the Chief Financial Officer in January 2004. Ms. Trevino previously worked as Manager of Accounting and Financial Reporting for the Orange County Transportation Authority. She also served as an adjunct professor for governmental accounting and reporting at the University of Redlands. Ms. Trevino's 19-year public accounting career included 16 years with Ernst & Young LLP. As Senior Manager in its Assurance and Advisory Business Services practice serving government clients, she led the development of the Southern California practice and served as a national technical resource. She is a Certified Public Accountant in California and completed the Executive Management Program at the University of California, Riverside. Ms. Trevino received a bachelor of science degree in accounting from Loyola Marymount University with Magna Cum Laude Honors. 23 118 THE TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN On November 5, 2002, 69.2 percent of the voters of the County approved Measure "A" — The Riverside County Transportation Commission Transportation Expenditure Plan (the "Plan") and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance which expressed the following concerns in its preamble: "The transportation system in Riverside County is rapidly deteriorating and our population and economy are growing rapidly. Maintenance and repairs of existing roadways and improvements to relieve congestion cannot be accomplished with available funds. Without additional funds, the system will bog down and pavement will crumble into permanent disrepair... Local governments must either generate revenues to expand our system and maintain our investments or watch the system collapse and endanger the health, welfare and safety of all Riverside County residents." The goals of the Plan are as follows: (1) Maintain and improve the quality of life in Riverside County by supplementing existing funds for transportation; (2) provide for accountability in the expenditure of taxpayer funds; (3) provide for equity in the distribution of Measure "A" Revenues; and (4) provide for local control of the Transportation Improvement Program. To address the concerns as expressed in the preamble, and to accomplish its goals and policies, the ordinance provided that sales tax revenues be distributed to the specific geographic areas of Riverside County (i.e., Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley) based on their proportionate share of revenues generated in the County, and that funds be allocated for highway and regional arterial projects, local streets and roads, transit and commuter rail, new corridors and economic development. In the Western County, $370 million is to be used for new corridor projects, $1.020 million for highway projects, $300 million for regional arterial projects, $390 million for public transit, $970 million for local street and road improvements, $270 million for bond financing costs, and the remaining $40 million for economic development projects. In the Coachella Valley, fifty percent is to be earmarked for its highway and regional arterial system, thirty-five percent for local streets and roads, and the remaining fifteen percent for transit. All Palo Verde Valley funds are designated for the maintenance of local streets and roads. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS Economy of the County and the State The level of Sales Tax Revenues collected at any time is dependent upon the level of retail sales within the County, which level of retail sales is, in turn, dependent upon the level of economic activity in the County and in the State generally. The economy of the County is currently experiencing a slowdown as evidenced by an increased unemployment rate, a slowdown in total personal income and taxable sales, a drop in residential building permits, a 24 119 i decline in the rate of home sales and the median price of single-family homes and condominiums and in increase in notices of default on mortgage loans secured by homes and condominiums. Any substantial deterioration in the level of economic activity within the County or in the State could have a material adverse impact upon the level of Sales Tax Revenues and therefore upon the ability of the Commission to issue sales tax revenue bonds in the future. For information relating to current economic conditions within the County and the State see "APPENDIX B - COUNTY DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC INFORMATION." No Liquidity Facility There is no initial or planned third -party liquidity facility supporting the purchase of the Series 2008 Bonds. If the remarketing agents appointed by the Commission are unable to remarket all the Series 2008 Bonds on the Initial Mandatory Tender Date, the Series 2008 Bonds will continue to be owned by the then current Holders and will commence to bear interest at a Weekly Rate of 11% per annum until such time as the Series 2008 Bonds are successfully remarketed at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Long -Term Rate, Commercial Paper Rate or Fixed Rate. See "THE SERIES 2008 BONDS — Initial Rate Period" herein. The Sales Tax With limited exceptions, the Sales Tax will be imposed upon the same transactions and items subject to the sales tax levied statewide by the State. The State Legislature or the voters within the State, through the initiative process, could change or limit the transactions and items upon which the statewide sales tax and the Sales Tax are imposed. Any such change or limitation could have an adverse impact on the Sales Tax Revenues collected. For a further description of the Sales Tax, see "THE SALES TAX." Proposition 218 On November 5, 1996, voters in the State approved an initiative known as the Right to Vote on Taxes Act ("Proposition 218"). Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. Article XIIIC requires majority voter approval for the imposition, extension or increase of general taxes and two-thirds voter approval for the imposition, extension or increase of special taxes by a local government, which is defined to include local or regional governmental agencies such as the Commission. The Sales Tax was approved by more than two- thirds of the voters in Riverside County and is therefore in compliance with the requirements of Proposition 218. Article XIIIC also removes limitations that may have applied to the voter initiative power with regard to reducing or repealing previously authorized local taxes, even previously voter -approved taxes like the Sales Tax. In the view of the Commission, however, any attempt by the voters to use the initiative provisions of Proposition 218 to rescind or reduce the levy and collection of the Sales Tax in a manner which would prevent the payment of debt service on the Notes, would violate the Impairment Clause of the united States Constitution and, accordingly, would be precluded. However, the interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts. 25 120 Further Initiatives Proposition 218 was adopted as a measure that qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted, which may affect the Commission's ability to levy and collect the Sales Tax, or change the types of products or items subject to a sales tax. Loss of Tax Exemption As discussed under "TAX MAI IERS," interest on the Series 2008 Bonds could become includable in federal gross income, possibly from the date of issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds, as a result of acts or omissions of the Commission subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds. Should interest become includable in federal gross income, the Series 2008 Bonds are not subject to redemption by reason thereof and will remain outstanding until maturity. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Commission for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007, included in APPENDIX A of this Official Statement, have been audited by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, certified public accountants, as stated in their report therein. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was not requested to consent to the inclusion of its report in APPENDIX A, nor has it undertaken to update its report or to take any action intended or likely to elicit information concerning the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements made in this Official Statement, and no opinion is expressed by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP with respect to any event subsequent to the date of its report. Except as described herein, the Commission represents that there has been no material adverse change in its financial position since June 30, 2007. LITIGATION There is not now pending any litigation restraining or enjoining the issuance or delivery of the Series 2008 Bonds or questioning or affecting the validity of the Bonds or the proceedings and authority under which they are to be issued. Neither the creation, organization or existence of the Commission, nor the title of the present members of the Commission to their respective offices, is being contested. TAX MATTERS In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the Commission ("Bond Counsel"), based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Series 2008 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. Bond Counsel is of the further opinion that interest on the Series 2008 Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, although Bond Counsel observes that such interest is included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in Appendix E hereto. 26 121 To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Series 2008 Bonds is less than the amount to be paid at maturity of such Series 2008 Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the term of such Series 2008 Bonds), the difference constitutes "original issue discount," the accrual of which, to the extent properly allocable to each beneficial owner thereof, is treated as interest on the Series 2008 Bonds which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and State of California personal income taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the Series 2008 Bonds is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Series 2008 Bonds is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The original issue discount with respect to any maturity of the Series 2008 Bonds accrues daily over the term to maturity of such Series 2008 Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such Series 2008 Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such Series 2008 Bonds. Beneficial owners of the Series 2008 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Series 2008 Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of beneficial owners who do not purchase such Series 2008 Bonds in the original offering to the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such Series 2008 Bonds is sold to the public. The Series 2008 Bonds purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than their principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) ("Premium Series 2008 Bonds") will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of bonds, like the Premium Series 2008 Bonds, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interest received, and a beneficial owner's basis in a Premium Bond, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such beneficial owner. Beneficial owners of Premium Series 2008 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances. The Code impose various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Series 2008 Bonds. The Commission has made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions, conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the Series 2008 Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Series 2008 Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes the accuracy of these representations and compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other matters coming to Bond Counsel's attention after the date of issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series 2008 Bonds. Accordingly, the opinion of Bond Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or matters. Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Series 2008 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of 27 122 California personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2008 Bonds may otherwise affect a beneficial owner's federal, state or local tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the beneficial owner or the beneficial owner's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences. Future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions may cause interest on the Series 2008 Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent beneficial owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. As one example, on November 5, 2007, the United States Supreme Court heard an appeal from a Kentucky state court which ruled that the United States Constitution prohibited the state from providing a tax exemption for interest on bonds issued by the state and its political subdivisions but taxing interest on obligations issued by other states and their political subdivisions. The introduction or enactment of any such future legislative proposals, clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Series 2008 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2008 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion. The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel's judgment as to the proper treatment of the Series 2008 Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about the future activities of the Commission or about the effect of future changes in the Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The Commission has covenanted, however, to comply with the requirements of the Code. Bond Counsel's engagement with respect to the Series 2008 Bonds ends with the issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the Commission or the beneficial owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Series 2008 Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties other than the Commission and their appointed counsel, including the beneficial owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax- exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the Commission legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the Series 2008 Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the marketprice for, or the marketability of, the Series 2008 Bonds, and may cause the Commission or the beneficial owners to incur significant expense. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel, will render an opinion with respect to the validity of the Series 2008 Bonds.

Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state and local, nontax payments fines, fees, penalties, etc.) and personal contributions to social security insurance and federal retirement payroll deductions. According to U.S. government definitions, the resultant figure is commonly known as "disposable personal income."

B-9 136 " " APPENDIX C SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE C-1 137 " APPENDIX D BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM The information concerning DTC set forth herein has been supplied by DTC, and the Commission assumes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. DTC is a limited -purpose trust company.organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("DTC Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among DTC Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book -entry changes in DTC Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. "DTC Direct Participants" include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its DTC Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("DTC Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its DTC Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchases of Series 2008 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or though DTC Direct Participants, which will receive credit for the Series 2008 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2008 Bond (a `Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and DTC Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the DTC Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2008 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of DTC Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2008 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the Series 2008 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2008 Bonds deposited by DTC Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Series 2008 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2008 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the DTC Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2008 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The DTC Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to DTC Direct Participants, by DTC Direct Participants to DTC Indirect Participants, and by DTC Direct Participants and DTC D-1 138 Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Series 2008 Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each DTC Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to Series 2008 Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Commission as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those DTC Direct Participants to whose accounts the Series 2008 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Series 2008 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit DTC Direct Participants' accounts on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on a payment date. Payments by DTC Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the Commission, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to DTC Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and DTC Indirect Participants. The Commission and the Trustee cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will distribute to the Beneficial Owners (i) principal and interest on the Series 2008 Bonds, (ii) certificates representing an ownership interest in or other confirmation of ownership interests in the Series 2008 Bonds, or (iii) redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as registered owner of the Series 2008 Bonds, or that they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC, DTC Direct Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will service and act in the manner described in the Official Statement. The Commission and the Trustee will be entitled to treat the person in whose name any Series 2008 Bond is registered as the Bond Owner thereof for all purposes of the Indenture and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Trustee or the Commission; and the Commission and the Trustee will have no responsibility for transmitting payments to, communication with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any Beneficial Owners of the Series 2008 Bonds. Neither the Commission nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or obligations, legal or otherwise, to the Beneficial Owners or to any other party including DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor), except for the registered owner of any Series 2008 Bond. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series 2008 Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Commission or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Series 2008 Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. D-2 • 139 " " " THE TRUSTEE, AS LONG AS A BOOK -ENTRY ONLY SYS 1'EM IS USED FOR THE SERIES 2008 BONDS, WILL SEND ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OR OTHER NOTICES TO OWNERS ONLY TO DTC. ANY FAILURE OF DTC TO ADVISE ANY DTC PARTICIPANT, OR OF ANY DTC PARTICIPANT TO NOTIFY ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, OF ANY NOTICE AND ITS CONTENT OR EFFECT WILL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUFFICIENCY OF THE PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE REDEMPTION OF THE SERIES 2008 BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION OR OF ANY OTHER ACTION PREMISED ON SUCH NOTICE.

In the event that the Sales Tax Revenues shall not be sufficient to pay in full all Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be paid at any one time into all such Sinking Accounts, then payments into all such Sinking Accounts shall be made on a Proportionate Basis, in proportion that the respective Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made into each Sinking Account during the then current 12-month period bear to the aggregate of all of the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made into all such Sinking Accounts during such 12-month period. No deposit need be made into the Principal Fund so long as there shall be in such fund (i) moneys sufficient to pay the Bond Obligations of all Serial Bonds issued hereunder and then Outstanding and maturing by their terms within the next twelve (12) months plus (ii) the aggregate of all Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made in such 12-month period, but less any amounts deposited into the Principal Fund during such 12-month period and theretofore paid from the Principal Fund to redeem or purchase Term Bonds during such 12-month period; provided that if the Commission certifies to the Trustee that any principal payments are expected to be refunded on or prior to their respective due dates or paid from amounts on deposit in a Bond.

LEHMAN BROTHERS, on behalf of itself and as representative of the Underwriters By: The foregoing is hereby agreed to and accepted as of the date first above written: RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION By: DOC SOC/ 1274212v4/022584-0015 17 293 0 AGENDA ITEM 10 1 • i " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: May 14, 2008 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans and Programs Committee Tanya Love, Program Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Trade Corridors Improvement Fund Program of Projects and Next Steps Report PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to receive an update on the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) approved program of projects and Next Steps report. BACKGROUND INFORMATION In November 2006, the voters passed Proposition 1B, which provided $2 billion in funding for goods movement. That pot subsequently "grew" to approximately $3 billion through the use of State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) dollars and unspecified additional funding e.g. congressional funding and/or container fees. For the past several months, Commission staff has been working closely with staff from the cities of Banning, Corona, and Riverside as well as the county of Riverside and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (sponsoring agencies) to develop project applications as part of the TCIF funding opportunity. As shown on the attachment, the Commission, on behalf of the sponsoring agencies, submitted applications for 13 first tier projects totaling $596.1 million; of that amount $169 million was requested in TCIF funding. The second tier applications identified three projects for a total cost of $201.7 million; a TCIF match of $50.7 million was requested. The project submittals were based on the economic contributions, congestion relief, and health impacts to Riverside County residents. In January 2008, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) received 84 nominations consisting of 107 individual projects, totaling $4.1 billion of TCIF funding requests. Request for TCIF funding exceeded the CTC Trade Corridor targets and as a result, only tier 1 projects were funded. At its April 2008 Agenda Item 10 294 meeting, the CTC approved projects totaling $3.088 billion for 79 projects; of that amount, $162.7 million' in funding was approved for the following Riverside County projects: Sponsoring Agency City of Banning City of Corona City of Riverside County of Riverside Next Steps in TCIF Process Project Sunset Avenue Auto Center Drive 3rd Street Columbia Avenue Iowa Avenue Magnolia Avenue (UP) Riverside Avenue Streeter Avenue Avenue 56 Avenue 66 Clay Street Magnolia Avenue (BNSF) March Inland Cargo Airport, 1-215 Van Buren Ground Access Improvement TCIF Amount (in millions) $10.0 $16.0 $17.5 $ 6.0 $13.0 $ 20.0 $ 8.5 $15.5 $10.0 $10.0 $12.5 $13.7 $10.0 CTC Approved Funding: $162.7 The CTC staff identified several critical issues that will need to be further developed as part of the next steps in the TCIF process: • Budget appropriation and allocation will occur through legislative process; • Deliverability: Projects must commence construction by December 31, 2013. CTC staff has expressed concern that several projects may not be able to achieve environmental clearance in time for the remaining pre -construction project development activities to take place by the December 2013 date. It is anticipated that in Spring 2010, CTC staff will review the program status; any project that does not have environmental clearance at that time is in risk of being dropped from the program. CTC staff will work with the sponsoring agencies during the development of baseline agreements to further address this issue. $169 million was requested; however, due to funding requests exceeding revenue, transportation commissions were requested to reduce project funding requests. As a result, the requested funding for Magnolia (BNSF) grade separation was reduced from $20 million to $13.7 million. Agenda Item 10 295 " Projects in Riverside County that are potentially at risk include grade separations at Avenue 56 (environmental clearance projected for June 2010) and Avenue 66 (environmental clearance projected for September 2010). " Development of. baseline agreements will be initiated upon adoption of the program and will become the basis for determining accountability. The agreements will set forth the proposed scope, expected benefits, delivery schedule and project cost and funding plan. Once completed, any amendments to the scope, project benefits, schedule and/or cost will require CTC approval. Following is the schedule for completion of the baseline agreements: July 2008: Agreements will be presented to the CTC for highway projects; and September 2008: Agreements will be presented to the CTC for grade separation and mainline rail projects. -�� Note: If agreements are not executed by the specified date, the project will be eliminated from the program. " Supplemental Funding and the 1:1 Match: Several project funding plans included references to unsecured or future revenue sources (e.g. future container fees, future toll authority, railroad contributions, Public Utilities Commission (PUC) 190 funds, etc.). As part of the baseline agreements, the CTC requires that funding plans must be identified and committed through the form of regional board or local commission actions or resolutions. Sponsoring agencies will have the ability to substitute committed local, federal or private funds with newly generated local funds when those funds become available. Projects in Riverside County that are potentially at risk include: Auto Center Drive, Columbia Avenue, Iowa Avenue, Magnolia Avenue (UP line), and Sunset Avenue due to the identification of PUC Section 190 funds; Projects potentially at risk due to PUC Section 190 funds as well as container fees include: 3rd Street, Clay Street, Magnolia Avenue (BNSF Line), Riverside Avenue, and Streeter Avenue; The grade separation project for Avenue 66 identified PUC Section 190 match funds that may be available through the Commission; however, the project is not on the PUC Section 190 list and as a result, would not be eligible for the commission's matching funds. As a result, this project is also at risk; and Agenda Item 10 296 The March Inland Cargo Airport — 1-215 Van Buren ground access improvement project may be at risk as it identified a 87 million contribution in right-of-way costs and $39 million in the Commission's Regional Arterial Measure A funds. Air Quality and Emission Reduction: Screening at the regional level is complete; however, CTC staff is currently reviewing projects to identify which projects could have a potential impact at the local level. Those projects that are identified as such will be flagged for conditional language that will be included in the project's baseline agreement. CTC staff will monitor the progress of the environmental process and will require that the sponsoring agency demonstrate concurrence to recommended mitigation strategies; 3 Note: The commission is the lead agency on an environmental justice and community outreach study. It is recommended that staff from the sponsoring agencies participate on the Environmental Justice Technical Advisory Committee as the focus will be on developing a guidebook on mitigation strategies related to goods movement. • Overprogramming: The TCIF program is over subscribed by approximately $650 million. The approved TCIF project funding is based on the availability of future revenue sources (e.g. additional federal funding, user fees, tolls, etc.). Should that level of funding not materialize, the projects will have to be re -calibrated to fit within available funding levels; • Public -Private Benefits and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): As part of the baseline agreement process, MOUs will need to be developed and negotiated with respect to public and private benefits related to projects that involve investments in rail facilities; and • Grade Separation Projects: A master agreement or MOU for grade separation projects will be required to accompany the baseline agreement. Coordination with railroad agencies is extremely critical as this may have a detrimental effect on the proposed scope, the cost to construct temporary facilities for the railroad, or the level of financial commitments expected from the railroad agency, as well as the delivery schedule. In preparation for the baseline agreements related to grade separation projects, the commission is working with the Southern California Consensus Group and the CTC to convene an initial joint meeting to discuss the potential impacts to the railroads. As stated in the CTC staff report: Agenda Item 10 • 297 " "Many of the proposed grade separations are located along corridors that either UP or BNSF, or both, own and operate. Many of the grade separations propose alternatives that would require the temporary relocation of railroad tracks to construct a vehicular roadway below tracks that must remain in full operation during construction. Coordination with railroad agencies is extremely critical " The intent of the joint meeting is to ensure that uniform and comprehensive data for all 29 TCIF grade separation projects can be presented together with a map of the project locations. It is anticipated that the data and map will assist staff in evaluating whether the combined effect of the projects create a problem for the railroads as well as potential impacts to project delivery. Key to success in the next steps category will be the finalization of the baseline agreements and project deliverability by the lead agencies.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: San Jacinto Branch Line Ad Hoc Committee members requested an analysis of the impacts to freight traffic once the improvement of the tracks for the PVL are completed. Wilbur Smith and Associates conducted a study to: " Document the current freight rail shippers, their freight carload volumes, and any volume trends; and " Determine if improvements planned for the Perris Valley Line commuter rail service will facilitate any expansion of shipper volumes. Study Findings The study identified eight shippers on the San Jacinto Branch Line: Perris Valley Line Shipper Volumes Shipper City Commodity Received Weekly Carloads Quebecor Riverside Rolled paper stock 19.25 AOC Resins Perris Chemicals for resin 6.50 Cal Truss Perris Lumber 2.50 MWD Perris Chlorine 0.25 McAnally Enterprises Perris Com and soy meal 16.50 JM Eagle Perris Resin 9.00 Star Milling Co.

Freight trains are limited to 20 mph north of Perris, and 10 mph through Perris to Romoland. Faster speeds may theoretically result in a small savings in labor cost to BNSF, but since most of the time involved is devoted to local switching activity, any benefit to BNSF would be inconsequential in, the overall cost of delivering loaded cars and returning with empty cars. Furthermore, the inbound trains with heavy carloads would still have to climb a grade through Box Springs Canyon from Riverside at a low speed. Given the current and forecast carload volumes, the improvements planned for the Perris Valley Line commuter rail service will not facilitate any expansion of shipper volumes. Justin Fox of Wilbur Smith & Associates will present the findings of the Freight. Study at the Commission meeting. Attachment: Draft Report - Perris Valley Line Freight Study, Wilbur Smith & Associates Per a railroad timetable. Agenda Item 11 301 " " " Final Report PERRIS VALLEY LINE FREIGHT STUDY Study Purpose The Perris Valley Line (PVL) Freight Study is prepared for the San Jacinto Branch Line Ad Hoc Committee of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). The purpose of this study is twofold. First, the Study documents the current freight rail shippers on the San Jacinto Branch Line (where the PVL will operate), their freight carload volumes, and any volume trends. Second, the Study seeks to determine if improvements planned for new commuter rail service on the line would facilitate any expansion of shipper volumes. The San Jacinto Branch Line is owned by the ROTC. RCTC purchased the line from the. former Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) in 1992. As a condition of the sale, ATSF retained an exclusive right to serve shippers on the line. ATSF's successor railroad, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), operates the freight service on the line today. There appear to be up to two round trips or four trains per day on the line. The line runs 38 miles from Highgrove and a connection to the BNSF Transcon mainline in the north to San Jacinto to the southeast. For commuter rail service, RCTC is planning to build a connection using existing and new trackage between the Metrolink Riverside station and the northern end of the Perris Valley Line. Future 91 Line trains will run on the line, beginning their daily journeys from South Perris. The study team solicited information from BNSF with regards to its current operations on the line. BNSF declined to offer comment. On March 6, the team visited all active shippers on the line with rail spurs  tracks leading to shipper facilities from the line itself. Shippers were asked a series of questions aimed at quantifying rail carload volumes and whether or not the volumes are expected to grow  with or without future improvements installed for commuter rail operations which would facilitate faster freight train speeds. The team posed follow-up questions to some shippers during the following week. As a consequence of the shipper responses, the team learned broadly how BNSF operates on the line. Freight Volumes on the Perris Valley Line There are 8 shippers with rail spurs off of the Perris Valley Line between Riverside south of Eastridge Avenue and Romoland. There is also a public loading and unloading facility in Perris, known as a team track, whose users are likely small. Based on conversations with officials knowledgeable of rail shipments at each site, this study estimates that the line handles about 116 carloads per week, or a yearly volume of just over 6,000 carloads. The shippers and their weekly volumes are cited in Table 1. The specifics of their rail service are discussed in the subsequent section. The locations of the shippers and the Perris team track appear in Figure 1. 102424 PERRIS VALLEY LINE FREIGHT STUDY WILBUR SAUDI ASSOCIATES Page 1 302 " " " Figure 1 Perris Valley Line Shipper Locations 102424 PERRIS VALLEY UNE FREIGHT STUDY Page 2 WIfBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES 303 " " " Table 1 Perris Valley Line Shipper Volumes Shipper City Commodity Received Weekly Carloads Quebecor Riverside Rolled paper stock 19.25 AOC Resins Perris Chemicals for resin 6.50 Cal Truss Perris Lumber 2.50 MWD Perris Chlorine 0.25 McAnally Enterprises Perris Corn and soy meal 16.50 JM Eagle Perris Resin 9.00 Star Milling Co.

If shipper stated a range in weekly carloads, the table shows the average. Quebecot's volume was derived from a yearly carload total The team track figure is a WSA estimate, based on its observation. The shipper interviews revealed that BNSF provides daily service (including weekends) on the Perris Valley Line. BNSF delivers loaded cars and picks up empty cars both during the day and at night, depending on shipper preference. The line and most of the shippers can handle the heaviest loaded car weights of 286,000 pounds. Impact of Commuter Rail Improvements Implementation of commuter rail service on the Perris Valley Line will change the operating environment on the line. The line will be improved: track will be upgraded and passing sidings, providing more capacity to accommodate both freight and passenger services, will be installed. The improvements may enable BNSF to operate at higher speeds than it does now. Freight trains are limited to 20 mph north of Perris, and 10 rnph through Perris to Romoland . Faster speeds might theoretically result in a small savings in labor cost to BNSF, but since most of the time involved is devoted to local switching activity, any benefit to BNSF would be inconsequential in the overall cost of delivering loaded cars and returning with empty cars. Furthermore, the inbound trains with heavy carloads would still have to climb a grade through Box Springs Canyon from Riverside at a low speed. It is unlikely also that the improvements will benefit Perris Valley Line shippers in any material way. Generally, the shippers interviewed appeared satisfied with BNSF service: they are getting the level of service they want. No shippers indicated that the improvements would help them increase their rail shipments. It is important to note that most of these shipments travel hundreds if not thousands of miles and spend several days in transit before they get to the Perris Valley Line. Thus, any minor improvement in freight train speeds on the line would be negligible in the context of total travel time. The largest shipper on the line, Grove Lumber, is located in Romoland, which is beyond South Perris, the southern limit of the planned improvements for the Perris Valley Line With its market being local home construction, this shipper has the largest potential for rail car volume increases, albeit only when the housing market recovers from its current slump. Indeed, Grove Lumber intends to build a new rail -served facility in Per a railroad timetable. 102424 PERRIS VALLEY LINE FREIGHT STUDY WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page 3 304 Ramoland. Clearly, current conditions on the line to Perris are no constraint for this shipper's expansion plans. Line Shippers Quebecor World 6688 Box Springs Blvd. Riverside, CA 92507 Contact: Paul Cleveland, Transportation This facility receives box cars of paper stock which it uses for printing. The paper comes from central and western Canada, Washington, Oregon, and in some cases from overseas via the Port of Los Angeles. The facility receives on the low side about 1,000 carloads per year, or almost 20 carloads per week. This volume should increase about 10 percent over the next year and a half. BNSF serves the plant 6 to 7 days a week. Cars are spotted (delivered) and picked up both day and night The facility can handle the biggest cars with a total loaded weight of 286,000 pounds. AOC Resins California Oleander and Havrill Avenues Perris, CA, 92570 Contact: Mitch Bell, Operations Supervisor This facility receives tank car loads of chemicals for the production of polyester resins. The chemicals are unloaded into tanker trucks at this facility. The carloads originate in Tennessee. The facility receives about 6 or 7 carloads per week. This volume is expected to grow with the domestic economy or at about 2 or 3 percent per year. Shipments are received on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day. The facility can receive maximum car weights of 286,000 pounds, but rarely does so, as smaller cats are more economical. California Truss Company, Inc. (Cal Truss) 23665 Cajalco Road Perris, CA 92570 Contact: Dean Turner, Production Manager This facility receives carloads of lumber for the manufacture of trusses used in construction. Ninety percent of the lumber comes from Washington, and the remainder from other western states and Canada. The facility typically receives about 10 carloads per month, or about 2 to 3 carloads per week. This volume is expected to increase, but by how much and when is unknown. In the past, rail shipments have been two and a half times what they are today. The facility can receive deliveries day and night Whether or not it can handle 286,000 pound cars is also unknown. Metropolitan Water District (MWD) Chlorine Unloading Facility (CUF) 19765 Patterson Avenue Perris, CA 92570 Contact: Sergio Ochoa, Facility Manager 102429 PERRIS VALLEY LINE FREIGHT STUDY W►LBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page 4 305 " This facility receives tank cars full of chlorine. The chlorine comes from Henderson, Nevada, and is used as a water disinfectant. The chlorine is unloaded from the tank cars into tanker trucks. Last year, the facility received just four tank cars. Before that, the facility had been dormant. The volume should expand in the near future to about a tank car per month. BNSF delivers the cars during the day. Current net loads amount to 180,000 pounds, with total car weights about 240,000 pounds. MWD related that being able to receive heavier carloads would not be important. McAnally Enterprises, Feed Division 23840 Rider Street Perris, CA 92570 Contact: Mark Jacobs, Mill Manager This facility receives hopper cars of soybean meal and corn, which it processes into finished chicken feed. The feed is then loaded to trucks for delivery to McAnally's area poultty farms, whose eggs are distributed locally. The soybean meal comes from Kansas, and corn comes from South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. The facility typically receives between 16 and 17 carloads per week. This volume is likely to hold steady for the next year or two, and then grow with the local population. The BNSF delivers the rail cars Monday through Friday, during the day. The facility can handle maximum car weights of 286,000 pounds. JM Eagle 23711 Rider Street Perris, CA 92570 Contact: Joe Seanz, Materials Supervisor This facility receives hoppers of PVC resin for pipe making. The PVC comes from plants in Texas. The facility receives 9 cars per week on average. The volume is anticipated to grow with the economy, or about 2 to 3 percent per year. BNSF serves the plant on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The facility can receive 286,000 pound cars. Star Milling Co. 24067 Water Street Perris, CA 92570 Contact: Garrit Van Leeuwen, Purchasing Manager This facility receives hopper cars of grain products, the majority of which is corn, originating in the Mid West. The corn is processed into chicken feed. The facility receives about 20 carloads a week, a volume which is likely to remain steady indefmitely. BNSF serves the facility Mondays through Fridays during the day. The facility can handle maximum car weights of 205,000 pounds. Being able to handle heavier cars would be beneficial to the business, by lowering transportation costs per pound of commodity received. Star Milling has another facility on Oleander Street, near AOC Resins, which is used only for com car storage. 102924 PERRIS VALLEY LINE FREIGHT STUDY WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page 5 306 Team Track Orange Avenue, Perris A team track is a facility open'to the public where shippers can load and unload rail cars. The shippers taking advantage of a team track typically are small shippers, lacking spurs of their own. Such a facility exists just south of Star Milling, accessible via Orange Avenue. Other than easy access, the chief requirement for a team track is a siding or spur, where cars can be delivered and picked up after unloading, leaving the branch line itself clear for trains. The study team spotted rail cars being worked at the team track during its early March tour of the Perris Valley Line. Grove Lumber 27126 Watson Road Romoland, CA 92585 Ron Hillman, Purchasing Manager This facility receives carloads of lumber and wood products used in housing construction. The origins of the carloads include Canada, Louisiana, Minnesota, and the Pacific Northwest. The facility receives typically 40 carloads per week, which is down from a high of 70 carloads a week during periods of strong house construction. The 70-car figure is the facility's current maximum car handling capacity. Even the lower figure can drop significantly. No major growth is volume is expected to occur this year. The facility receives cars three days a week and can handle maximum car weights of 286,000 pounds. Grove Lumber does not expect a stronger market to return until perhaps 2010. The firm is planning on the development of a new lumber transload facility about one mile southeast of the Watson Road facility along the portion of the Perris Valley Line that is now out of service. When operational in 2010, that facility will have the capacity to handle 10 rail cars per day. 102424 PERRIS VALLEY LINE FREIGHT STUDY WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Page 6 307 Perms Valley Line Freigh-t Study - Study purpose Inventory the shippe Determine if iri provemen • Methodology . • Prepared questions • Contacted BNS • Visited sh p'pe.rs;o. •- Made follow=u anston of shipper:yolumes- Perms Valley Line Line runs: 38 miles from BNSF Transcon in; Highgrove,to San Jacinto Northern portion cli'mbs'a • RCTC owns •the`line • BNSF runs daily frei • 2 to 4 trains-p0(. • Carib -ads. are inboun Trains are limite BNSF appears to'store 4 Line is out of serer • RCTC is plannin distant future.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Two days ago, the Senate Appropriations Committee referred Commission - sponsored Senate Bill 1316 (Correa) to the "suspense" file. This action was in response to analysis by Senate staff that identified upwards of $100,000 of state - mandated costs imposed upon the Commission contained in the bill. These costs are associated with the requirement for a reconstituted State Route 91 Advisory Committee to oversee the operation of the toll facilities on each side of the Riverside -Orange County line, and also for an annual audit of toll revenue and expenditures. These "mandates" have been voluntarily sought by the Commission; however, the Commission could potentially seek reimbursement from the State for the costs in incurs as a result of the advisory committee and the annual audit. The role of the Appropriations Committee is to screen legislation for fiscal impacts to the state; given California's budget deficit, there is a low threshold for bills that have the potential to impose new costs on the state. Senate Appropriations Committee staff has recommended the Commission and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) adopt resolutions declaring their intent to not seek reimbursement from the state related to costs imposed by SB 1316. The OCTA Board of Directors already adopted a similar resolution this week. Additionally, Appropriations Committee staff recommends SB 1316 be amended with standard language that prohibits the Commission or OCTA from being reimbursed with state funds for any costs related to the bill. The Commission's other sponsored legislation, AB 1954 (Jeffries) for Interstate 15 high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, is in the Assembly Appropriations Committee "suspense" file. However, that bill does not contain any potential reimbursable state mandates at this time. In anticipation of the possibility that AB 1954 may be amended in the future with a similar framework as SB 1316, staff is recommending that the Commission proactively adopt a similar resolution for AB 1954 that declares the Commission's intent to not seek state reimbursement related to the legislation. The urgency of this item is related to the legislative deadline that Appropriations committees in the Senate and Assembly report all of their bills to the floor by May 23. The need for the resolutions developed Monday, and this Commission meeting provides the last opportunity for the Commission to declare its intent to the legislature with regard to this aspect of these bills. SB 1316 can be removed from the suspense file and heard on the Senate floor if state -mandated reimbursable cost concerns are addressed within the legislative deadlines.
