Becky Bucar, Engineering Manager, presented from the memo (presentation on file with
Town Clerk.)
Becky Bucar provided opening comments to the commission.
Staff provided background information on the three different tax measures under
the oversight of the board.
Introduced Measure K, the newest tax measure; a Transient Occupancy Tax
(TOT).
Measure K funds are allowed use on general services, such as housing, open
space, preparation for wildfire, and other natural disasters.
Of the total trail maintenance 25% of the cost is charged to the general fund.
Clarifying questions were asked of staff on how the determination is made which
funds are spent, such as on the Guardrail project?
Staff attempts to maximize the use of grant fund dollars first; this project
had a match funds requirement, so Town had to fulfill the match funds out
of the General Fund.
Grant funds were only for construction - Town had to utilize those dollars
for design and construction.
Staff tries to minimize the use of general fund dollars on projects because
that is out most flexible funding source.
Staff utilizes Council approved budget on specific projects , but non-
General Fund sources - grants and then special funding such as TSSA 1,
TSSA 5, Traffic Impact Fees, and special tax funds, are prioritized to be
used first.
Town also utilizes Town Special Service Area (TSSA) funds in certain
neighborhoods, i.e., Tahoe Donner and Glenshire/ communities for
maintenance in those subdivisions.
Truckee Donner Land trust will cover 75% of the pedestrian bridge included in the
Truckee River Legacy Trail Phase 4.
Measure K funds didn’t start being collected until the beginning of 2021 ; mostly
staff has been in planning mode.
The commission will see expenditures go up next fiscal year with Measure K.
There is no Measure K Master Plan.
There are no restrictions on how the Measure K funds are spent, however,
Council has prioritized use of funds on key community priorities, primarily
housing, open space, and emergency road maintenance.
Measure K funds are segregated from our General Fund s.
Measure R & V funds can only be used on the items stated in the ballot measure.
Staff Recommendation was moved by Kipp Cooley and seconded by Reid Cox;
motion passed with the following votes:
Ayes: Allison Pedley, Kipp Cooley, and Reid Cox.
Noes: None.
Absent: Nancy D’Amico, Dr. Brooks Rohlen, and Troy Ortiz, (Voting Alternate).
Abstained: None.
Motion passed 3-0.
6. ADJOURNMENT - Meeting adjourned at 5:42 p.m.
