BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its December 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement to MuniServices, LLC (MuniServices} for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on additional sales tax revenue generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax} audit services. As part of the recurring contracts process, the Commission approved a five-year extension through June 30, 2018. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only the Measure A sales tax revenues. Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices submitted an audit update, which reported findings generated and submitted to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE} for review and determination of errors in sales tax reporting related to 282 businesses. For Q3 2013, the SBOE approved corrections for 209 of these accounts for a total sales tax revenue recovery of $3,867,090. Updated amounts through Q4 2013 will be provided once received from MuniServices. If the SBOE concurs with the error(s} for the remaining claims, the Commission will receive additional revenues; however, the magnitude of the value of the remaining findings was not available. It is important to note that while the recoveries of additional revenues will be tangible, it will not be sufficient to alter the overall trend of sales tax revenues. Additionally, MuniServices provided the Commission with the quarterly sales tax summary report for the Q4 2013. Most of the Q4 2013 Measure A sales tax revenues were received by the Commission in the first quarter of calendar 2014, during January through March 2014, due to a lag in the sales tax calendar. The summary section of the Q4 2013 report is attached and includes an overview of California sales tax receipts, local results, historical cash collections Agenda Item 7 A 1 analysis, summary of the top 25 sales tax contributors, historical sales tax amounts, sales tax by • business category, economic trends for significant business category (general retail), and results. The following observations were noted in the Q4 2013 report: • Sales tax receipts for Riverside County were 9.3 percent compared to Q4 2012. While auto sales-new and auto parts/repair receipts had the largest gains in Q4 2013 compared to Q4 2012, staff noted the largest declines during the same period from electronic equipment and light industry. The declines were attributable to certain energy-related companies, which may be attributable to the completion of renewable energy developments in Riverside County. • Taxable transactions for the top 25 tax contributors in Riverside County, which generated 23 percent of the taxable sales for the year ended Q4 2013, which was comparable to the year ended Q4 2012. The top 100 tax contributors generated 37 percent of the taxable sales for the year ended Q4 2013, which was comparable to the year ended Q4 2012. • All six economic categories experienced increases in the Q4 2013 benchmark year compared to Q4 2012. Construction had the largest increase at 16.0 percent and experienced significant increases for several recent quarters. The construction increase was primarily related to the building materials wholesale segment. The other top five economic categories had increases ranging from 1.1 percent to 6.0 percent.

These seven segments represent 55.9 percent of the total sales tax receipts. Service stations, one of the top ten segments representing 11.1 percent of the total sales tax receipts, decreased to a new low point in the past two-year period during Q4 2013. The high Agenda Item 7 A 2 • • " " " " point for service stations occurred in Q4 2012. The other two top ten segments (building materials-retail and light industry) were under the high point, which occurred in Q4 2011. These two segments represent 8.8 percent of the total sales tax receipts. The top ten segments represent 75.8 percent of the total sales tax receipts. For the other segments representing 24.2 percent of the total sales tax receipts, the segments representing 22.5 percent of the total sales tax receipts reached new high points in the past two years during Q4 2013. Service stations, department stores, and auto sales-new represent the three largest economic segments for Riverside County, or 32.6 percent of total sales taxes. This is the fifth consecutive quarter since Q3 2008 that auto sales-new has been in the top three economic segments, as the restaurants segment held that position since the recession. It should also be noted the growth seen in previous quarters for the service stations segment has been declining as shown by the 1.7 percent decrease for the year ended Q4 2013 due to lower gas prices. The recent increase in gas prices will affect calendar 2014.

Budget Overview Total sources (Table 1) are budgeted at $987,596,500, which is a decrease of 37% over FY 2013/14 projected sources and a 49% decrease over the FY 2013/14 revised budget. Total sources are comprised of revenues of $461,561,800, transfers in of$334,434,700, and debt proceeds of $191,600,000. The projected fund balance at June 30, 2014 available for expenditures (excluding reserves for debt service of $144,250,800 and advances • receivable of $34,456,400) is $800,632,200. Accordingly, total funding available for the FY 2014/15 budget totals $1, 788,228;700.

Prior to the national recession, Riverside County's economy thrived, reflecting the area's competitive advantages over its neighboring counties, largely as a result of the County's continuing ability to draw jobs, residents, and affordable housing away from the Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego county areas. As a result, the County's employment and commercial base diversified and the County's share of the regional economy increased. 14 • " " " During the nationwide recession, the County experienced high unemployment; reduced personal income, taxable sales, and residential building permits; a decrease in the rate of home sales and the median price of single-family residences; and high rates of notices of default on mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. The impact of the recession was amplified in the Inland Empire (i.e., Riverside and San Bernardino counties) due to its relatively greater growth and the relatively lower average income levels when compared to coastal areas. These factors resulted in fluctuating Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues and TUMF fees; however, as noted on Chart 1 the sales tax revenues appear to have stabilized following the recession.

Debt Proceeds While recovery from the nationwide recession in the local Inland Empire economy has lagged the nation and other areas of California, the local economy is experiencing significant improvement. Sales tax revenues have rebounded from the recent economic downturn's low point in 2010. The Commission's Measure A and L TF sales tax revenues for FY 2013/14 are projected to reach their highest annual level. The Commission's economic outlook for FY 2014/15 continues to be cautiously optimistic; however, the state and federal budget issues continue to affect funding of the Commission'~ capital projects and programs. Ongoing problems with funding of the Federal Highway Trust Fund could cause delays in receipt of federal funding. Should Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues continue to fluctuate and the availability of federal and state revenues continue to be uncertain, the timing and scope of the Commission's projects and pr.ograms may be impacted. While the Commission's primary revenues are the Measure A and LTF sales taxes, other revenues and financing sources are required to fund the Commission's programs and projects as illustrated in Chart 2 . 15 Chart 2 -Sources: Major Categories Oper.iing Transfers In 34% Measure A Sales Tax 17% Oiher Revenue 0% The State Board ofEqualization (SBOE) recently provided to cities and other agencies its projections that statewide taxable sales over the next fiscal year will increase X%. However, given the tenuous local economy, the Commission Is not basing its estimate of revenues on the SBOE's projection and will continue its conservative projection practices. After taking the state of the local economy and recent revenue trends Into consideration, staff projects Measure A sales tax revenues of $167,000,000 for FY 2014/15. This is a 6% increase from the FY 2013/14 revised projection of $157,000,000. At midyear the Commission will reassess sales tax revenue projections based on the economy and revenue trends. On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the L TF for public transportation· needs, local streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of L TF funding received by the County and available for allocation is distributed to all public transit operators in the County, and the Commission receives allocations for administration, planning, and programming in addition to funding for western county rail operations included in the commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The LTF sales tax revenue received from the St.ate is budgeted at $81,500,000; an increase of 7% from the FY 2013/14 revised projection of $76,500,000. STA funds generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel are allocated by formula by the State Controller to the Commission for allocations to the County's public transit operators; however, these funds have been subject to suspension in past years due to the State's budget issues. The STA transit allocation, which is based on recent State estimates, for FY 2014/15 is $12,944,700. Intergovernmental revenues include reimbursement revenues from federal sources of $83,566,500, state sources of $99,143,000, and local agencies of $6,211,000 for highway and rail capital projects, rail operations and station maintenance, commuter assistance, and motorist assistance programs as well as planning and programming activities. Reimbursement revenues vary from year to year depending on project activities and funding levels. As a result of an amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Western Riverside Council of Governments {WRCOG), the Commission will receive 48.7% of TUMF revenues {as updated by the most recent Nexus study). TUMF represents fees assessed on new residential and commercial development in Western County. FY 2014/15 TUMF fees are projected at $8,000,000 compared to the FY 2013/14 revised projection of $7,400,000 and reflect the slow but encouraging signs in the housing market in the Inland Empire. Additional TUMF zone reimbursements of $154,600 are expected for the 74/215 interchange project. Other revenue of $575,000 is projected to decrease 47% from the prior year's budget of $1,090,400 and is related to property management revenues from properties acquired in connection with the SR-91 corridor improvement project. Investment incoi;ne is anticipated to decrease in FY 2014/15 as a result of increased activity with the Perris Valley line and the SR-91 corridor improvement projects. 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. 16 • • • " " " Transfers in of $334,434,700 relate primarily to the transfer of available debt proceeds for highway projects; LTF funding for general administration, planning and programming, rail operations and station maintenance, and grade separation project allocations; approved interfund allocations for specific projects; and debt service requirements from highway, regional arterial, and local streets and roads projects. Debt proceeds consist of drawdowns of $191,600,000 from the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan related to the SR-91 corridor improvement project.

Capital highway, rail, and regional arterials budgeted uses of $1,074,355,100 are 19% lower compared to the FY 2013/14 budget due to completion of construction on the 1-215 corridor improvement project and completion of final design, right of way acquisition, and utility relocations on SR-74 curve realignment project in addition to decreased operating transfers out of debt proceeds from capital projects funds to special revenue funds to finance 2009 Measure A Western County highway projects costs. Local streets and roads expenditures of $49,882,000 reflect an increase of 6% over the FY 2013/14 budget and represent the disbursements to local jurisdictions for the construction, repair, and maintenance of local streets and roads. Debt Service of $54,696,200 has decreased 60% as a result of the retirement of $60 million of outstanding commercial paper notes in FY 2013/14 from sales tax revenue bond proceeds issued in connection with the SR-91 corridor improvement project financing. Additionally, actual debt service requirements related to the SR-91 corridor improvement project current plan of finance are lower than estimated in the original plan of finance . 17 Commuter Assistance budgeted expenditures of $3,460,400 are 24% lower than FY 2013/14 budget due to decreased expenditures related to completion of the new ridematching system and streamlined media outreach • for projects and operations activities.

Public and Specialized Transit budgeted expenditures of $123,584,000 are 2% higher than FY 2013/14 budget due to increased transit capital expenditures for public transit. The 14% increase in Rail Maintenance and Operation's budgeted expenditures of $18,054,600 is primarily due to additional consultant work needed to perform planning and modeling for rail projects including the SR- 91/Perris Valley Line expansion and Coachella Valley/San Gorgonio Pass corridor rail service. Total uses included in the FY 2014/15 budget by major categories are illustrated In Chart 3. Chart 3 -Uses: Major categories Commission Personnel Plannlng and Programming °" Publlcand Raft Mlllrlten111ce The Commission's salary and benefits total $8,280,300 for FY 2014/15. This represents an increase of $330,900 or 4% over the FY 2013/14 budget of $7,949,400 (Chart 4). The increase relates to a 3% cost of living adjustment to offset the employee's contribution for their share of normal pension costs; a 3% pool for merit-based salary increases; an increase in the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) employer contribution rate and dental, vision, and workers' compensation premiums; and an increase in the annual required contribution for the postretirement health care costs based on a recent actuarial valuation. Beginning with FY 2013/14, the Commission implemented a phased approach over a three-year period requiring employees to pay their share of normal pension costs. The current 5% employer-paid member contribution by the Commission will be eliminated in FY 2015/16. 18 • • " " " Chart 4-Salary and Benefits Costs: Five-Year Comparison $9,000,000 ---�---�--�-�~-~�~----� ��-��-��-----�--�-�-�---�----- $8,000,000 $7,000,000 $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $- FYl0/11 FY 11/12 FY 12/13 FY13/14 FY14/15 The FY 2014/15 FTE of 46 positions is comparable to the FY 2013/14 level (Table 3) as the Commission prepares for significant organization changes that include large transportation capital projects resulting in toll operations and the investment of billions of dollars requiring substantial attention at many staff levels. Management continues to be firmly committed to the intent of the Commission's enabling legislation that called for a small staff. Staff will continue to be provided the tools needed to ensure an efficient and productive work environment.

" BACKGROUND INFORMATION: " At its January 8, 2014 meeting, the Commission approved the FY 2013/14 mid-year revenue projections for Measure A, Local Transportation Fund, and TUMF. Staff continued to monitor the FY 2013/14 revenues to determine if any adjustments to the revenue projections are necessary. It appears TUMF revenues have slowed down during FY 2013/14 and compared to FY 2012/13 actual of $11.9 million. The mid-year TUMF revenue projection was $12 million, or $6 million for regional arterials and $6 million for CETAP corridors. The revised TUMF revenue projection is $7.4 million, or $3.7 million for regional arteriaJs and $3.7 million for CETAP corridors. This results in a $4.6 million decrease in the TUMF revenue projection and budgeted revenues, or $2.3 million decrease for each TUMF program. As a result of the revised TUMF revenue projection for FY 2013/14, the amount set aside in the TUMF regional arterial program for developer credit reimbursements is affected. In October 2013, the Commission approved a payment plan for a developer reimbursement agreement that included an initial payment of $665,000 for amounts set aside through FY 2012/13 plus 10 percent of annual budgeted revenues, commencing with FY 2013/14, until the $3,051,636 obligation is satisfied. Based on the revised TUMF revenue projection, the amount set aside in FY 2013/14 for the developer credit reimbursement agreement will be $370,000, or 10 percent of the TUMF regional arterial program revenues. A budget adjustment is not required for this expenditure, as there are sufficient budgeted TUMF regional arterial expenditures .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Per SB 99, the ATP was created consolidating several funding programs intended for improving active transportation, which included federal Transportation Alternative Program funds, Highway Safety Improvement Program funds, and State Highway Account funds. The goals of the ATP are to: " Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by walking and biking. " Increase the safety and mobility of non-motorized users. " Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals as established pursuant to SB 375 and SB 391. " Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity through the use of programs including, but not limited to, projects eligible for Safe Routes to School program funding. " Ensure disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program. " Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users. The CTC is responsible for administering the ATP including developing guidelines, project selection criteria, evaluation of projects, and allocation of funds. On March 21, 2014, the CTC " released the first Call for ATP projects. Applications are due to Caltrans by May 21 Agenda Item 10 32 Funding Availability The ATP is divided into three categories: 50 percent to Statewide, 10 percent to small urban and rural areas, and 40 percent to MPO Urban Areas. The first call for ATP projects includes three years of funding totaling $360 million. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region will receive approximately $76 million with the Commission's target share at $8,757,000. Eligible Project Applicants The following agencies are eligible to apply for ATP funds: • Local, regional or state agencies {Caltrans, city, county, MPO, etc.) • Transit agencies • Public schools or school districts • Tribal governments • Natural resource or public land agencies (state or local park or forest agencies, state or local fish and game or wildlife agencies, Department of Interior Land Management agencies, U.S. Forest Service) • Private non-profit tax-exempt organizations • Other entities with responsibility for oversight of transportation or recreational trails that the CTC determines eligible Applicants must comply with all federal and state laws, regulations, policies and procedures required to enter into a local administering agency-state master agreement. Additionally, applicants must adhere to the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures manual for administering federal funds. CTC Evaluation Criteria The CTC developed project evaluation criteria and will score all project applications. The evaluation criteria include the following: • Potential for increased walking and bicycling, especially among students, including the identification of walking and bicycling routes to and from schools, transit facilities, community centers, employment centers, and other destinations; and including increasing and improving connectivity and mobility of non-motorized users. (O to 30 points) • Potential for reducing the number and/or rate of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and injuries, including the identification of safety hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists. (0 to 25 points) • Public participation and planning, including identification of the community-based public participation process that culminated in the project proposal, which may include noticed meetings and consultation with local stakeholders. (0 to 15 points} Agenda Item 10 33 • • • " " " " " " " Cost-effectiveness. (0 to 10 points) Improved public health through the targeting of populations with high risk factors for obesity, physical inactivity, asthma, or other health issues. (Oto 10 points) Benefit to disadvantaged communities. (Oto 10 points) Use of the California Conservation corps or a qualified community conservation corps . Points will be deducted if an applicant does not seek corps participation or if an applicant intends not to utilize a corps in a project in which the corps can participate. (0 to -5 points) " Applicant's performance on past grants. Applications from agencies with documented poor performance records on past grants may be excluded from competing or may be penalized in scoring. (0 to -10 points) The CTC will approve projects for the statewide and small urban and rural areas funding on August 20. The CTC will then provide the MPO's a listing of project applications that were not funded from the statewide funds for consideration for funding in the MPO 40 percent urban area regional program. MPO -Regional Program In the SCAG region, SB 99 requires the following: " " " SCAG must consult with county transportation commissions, the CTC, and Caltrans in the development of competitive selection criteria. The criteria used by SCAG should include consideration of geographic equity, consistent with program objectives. SCAG must place priority on projects that are consistent with plans adopted by local and regional governments within the county where the project is located. " SCAG must obtain concurrence from the county transportation commissions. MPOs are given the option of developing and approving separate project selection criteria as long as the criteria are consistent with the CTC's guidelines. Given the timing of this first cycle of funding and the need to quickly deliver projects in the region, SCAG opted to use the CTC's adopted project selection criteria. Additionally, SCAG will allow each respective county transportation commission to assign up to 10 points to the CTC's project scores for projects that are consistent with local and regional plans. Each county transportation commission in the SCAG region is responsible for defining "plans" and developing its guidance and methodology for assigning the additional 10 points. In addition, if a county transportation commission assigns points to a project for which it is the lead applicant, an explanation must be provided on how the scoring process resulted in an unbiased evaluation of projects. Applications submitted for planning activities that were not recommended for the statewide funds will be further reviewed by SCAG for inclusion in the 5 percent MPO set aside for planning activities, which may include the development of active transportation plans in Agenda Item 10 34 disadvantaged communities or non-infrastructure projects. SCAG will also ensure 25 percent of • the total regional program is dedicated for projects benefitting disadvantaged communities as required by state law. Per CTC guidelines, "disadvantaged communities" can be determined as follows: • The median household income is less than 80 percent of the statewide median based on the most current census tract level data from the American Community Survey. • An area identified as among the· most disadvantaged 10 percent in the state according to latest versions of the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool scores. • At least 75 percent of public school students in the project area are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program. If a project applicant believes a project benefits a disadvantaged community but the project does not meet the aforementioned criteria, the applicant must submit for consideration a quantitative assessment of why the community should be considered disadvantaged. The Commission Proposed Guidelines and Methodology for Assigning 10 Points Considering this is the first call for projects under the new ATP, staff recommends providing as much flexibility and discretion to Riverside County projects selected for the MPO Regional Program.· Therefore, for the purposes of defining consistency with adopted local and regional • "plans", plans may include, bu.tare not limited to, the following: • Measure A Expenditure Plan • Riverside County Public Transportation -Annual Countywide Performance Report • SCAG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)/Sustainability Communities Strategy (SCS) • Western Riverside County Non-motorized Transportation Plan • Coachella Valley Non-motorized Transportation Plan • City/County/School District Bicycle Plans • City/County/School District Pedestrian Facilities • Trail System -Regional or Multi-County Trail System (e.g. Santa Ana River Trail, CV-Link) • Other Consistency with the above and/or similar bicycle and pedestrian plans may include the following project improvements: Extensions, gap closures, safety enhancements, and other physical features that enhance the current or planned facilities or systems, and also encourage and/or increase usage of non- motorized or low emission vehicle transportation. Agenda Item 10 35 • " " " For projects determined to be consistent with local and regional plans, staff will assign 10 points to the CTC project score. Staff will also consult with the respective local or regional agencies regarding the consistency and adoption status of such plans. In addition, staff will consider the following as part of its submittal to SCAG: 1) The requirement that 25 percent of the funds distributed to each MPO must benefit disadvantaged communities as part of its project recommendation; and 2) Geographic equity, consistent with program objectives. Each county transportation commission will submit to SCAG its recommended project list and SCAG, in turn, will submit the MPO Regional Program recommendation (including all six counties within the SCAG region) to the CTC by September 30. The CTC ATP guidelines indicate the ATP MPO Regional Program of Projects will be approved by the CTC in November 2014. ATP funds are administered through the CTC, Caltrans, and FHWA. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the Commission's budget .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: An element of MSRC's FYs 2011/12 -2013/14 Work Program set aside $5 million for projects to accelerate traffic flow improvements in the SCAQMD. Historically, the MSRC solicits proposals through a competitive call for projects process; however, for the traffic flow improvement program, MSRC elected to allocate $1.25 million to the four county transportation commissions on behalf of their member cities, county, and possibly regional Caltrans Districts to accelerate traffic signal coordination projects. The Commission's share of the $5 million allocation is $1.25 million. Agenda Item 11 37 The Commission's 2013 Multi-Funding Call for Projects In June 2013, the Commission approved the release of the 2013 Multi-Funding Call for Projects for CMAQ funds, Surface Transportation Program and 2009 Measure A Western Riverside County Regional Arterial funds. As a result of that call, $3,635,975 in CMAQ funding was allocated to the cities of Eastvale, Moreno Valley, and Riverside for traffic flow improvement projects at the Commission's January 8, 2014 meeting. Staff recommends $939,625 in MSRC funding be allocated to support these three projects and $939,625 in CMAQ funding be deprogrammed and returned to the Western Riverside County CMAQ funds for future allocations. If approved, a balance of $2,696,350 in CMAQ funding will remain allocated to the cities of Eastvale, Moreno Valley, and Riverside. The following table provides an overview of the three projects: Total Agency CMAQ Funding, Proposed Agency Project Title Project Cost Match as revised MSRC Funding Eastvale Hammer Avenue Traffic Signal Sync. $ 333,500 $116,725 $ 142,150 $ 74,625 Moreno Valley Transportation Management Center 2,300,000 268,300 1,541,700 490,000 Riverside Magnolia Avenue Signal Interconnect 1,850,000 462,500 1,012,500 375,000 $4,483,500 $847,525 $ 2,696,350 $ 939,625 CVAG's CMAQ Call for Projects CVAG's CMAQ call for projects identified an Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) project to develop a region wide traffic monitoring system that monitors all traffic signals along the Highway 111 corridor from the city of Palm Springs to the city of Coachella. The estimated cost of the ATMS project is $2,634,500; CVAG is requesting $310,375 in MSRC funding be allocated to serve as match funds for the project. At the time of writing this staff report, CVAG's request is pending SCAQMD approval; however, staff is requesting approval to enter into an agreement with CVAG for $310,375 in MSRC funding based on CVAG's February 24, 2014, Executive Committee action to request the MSRC funding for the ATMS project.

Sincerely, Cynthia Ravenstein MSRC Contracts Administrator cynthia@cleantransportationfunding~org " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: April 28, 2014 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Aaron Hake, Government Relations Manager THROUGH: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Receive and file an update on MAP-21 reauthorization; 2) Adopt the following state bill positions: a) AB 2036 (Mansoor)-Oppose Unless Amended; b) AB 2651 (Linder) -Support; c) AB 2728 (Perea) -Support; d) HR 29 (Gomez) -Oppose; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. " BACKGROUND INFORMATION: " MAP-21 Reauthorization Picks Up Momentum In recent weeks the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, chaired by California Senator Barbara Boxer, acknowledged it is moving quickly toward markup of a multi-year reauthorization of MAP-21. In early April, Senator Boxer and Ranking Member David Vitter (R-LA) made a major announcement that a consensus had been reached with the top two members of the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee of EPW, Senators Tom Carper (D-DE) and John Barrasso (R-WY), on the basic principles of a bill. The "big four" agreement centers on: " Passing a long-term bill, as opposed to a short-term patch; " Maintaining the formulas for existing core programs; " Promoting fiscal responsibility by maintaining current levels of funding, plus inflation; " Focusing on policies that expand opportunities for rural areas; " Continuing efforts to leverage local resources to accelerate the construction of transportation projects, create jobs, and spur economic growth; and " Requiring better information sharing regarding federal grants . Agenda Item 12 40 Wholesale policy rewrites of MAP-21 are not to be expected. Many have viewed MAP-21 as a "six-year policy bill with only two years of funding." This round, the focus on major changes is expected to be on the funding issue. As stated in previous staff reports to the Commission, it will take upwards of $19 billion of new revenue to keep the federal highway program at flat funding levels for the next fiscal year plus inflation and more than $100 billion for a full six-year bill. Many are prognosticating this new revenue will need to come from the General Fund, and the most likely prospect for an offset for this new spending is from corporate tax reform. The prospects of tax reform are debatable, and tying transportation's success to the outcome of such a major legislative overhaul presents a fair amount of risk. The Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee will need to work swiftly on a solution. It is expected the Highway Trust Fund will sink below minimum levels by July, triggering a slowdown in reimbursements to states. Such a slowdown in federal payments to states could have a downstream impact to federally-funded projects. Worse yet, the sl.owdown would come during the peak of the summer construction season, meaning potentially significant job losses around the country. Commission staff is working closely with regional partners, national associations, and directly with congressional committees, on two primary issues: a new funding program for goods movement projects, and project delivery acceleration (mainly, National Environmental Policy Act -California Environmental Quality Act reciprocity). Freight issues appear to be front and center for both House and Senate Committees, however the issue of elaborating on the project delivery acceleration progress of MAP-21 does not have consensus. The Commission put forward draft legislative language to address the several gaps in the Primary' Freight Network (PFN) on State Routes 60 and 86, and Interstate 215, which the Commission identified as a major concern last winter. The Commission's proposal is to allow states and metro regions the flexibility to self-designate additional miles on the PFN that close gaps in the network and also add "first/last mile" connections to major goods movement hubs such as rail yards and intermodal facilities. This would help the national freight network map to be truly reflective of how the supply chain operates and ensure all of these critical facilities are eligible for funding from a future freight program. The Obama Administration signaled that it has drafted a legislative proposal for MAP-21 reauthorization and intends to release it soon. State Transportation Legislation Fills Committee Agendas Spring is peak season for policy committees to hear bills in Sacramento. This year the transportation committees in the Assembly and Senate have an unusually high volume of legislation to consider. Staff proposes the Commission adopt positions on the following bills: AB 2036 (Mansoor) -Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED • • This bill would require a two-thirds vote of the people of Orange County to authorize the • implementation of any toll facility within the boundaries of Orange County. As drafted, staff Agenda Item 12 41 " " " believes the bill would subject the Commission's SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project to a vote of the people of Orange County. The Commission's project transcends the Orange -Riverside County line for approximately one mile to construct the transition lane between the existing Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) 91 Express Lanes and the Commission's new extension of that facility. Staff believes, at the very least, an amendment to the bill is necessary to ensure the bill does not apply to projects previously authorized by the Legislature or under contract _for construction. Clarity should also be added to the bill regarding projects that cross the Orange County line. Staff identified a number of other legal and practical concerns with the bill, that if signed into law, could set precedent for future projects in other counties. AB 2036 is a direct reaction to the author's publicly-stated dissatisfaction with the potential tolling alternative that has been studied on OCTA's 1-405 widening project. AB 2651 (Linder) and AB 2728 (Perea) -Staff Recommendation: SUPPORT Two bills have been introduced in the Assembly to end the transfer of truck weight fees from the State Highway Account to the General Fund. During the FY 2010/11 budget crisis, the Administration and Legislature enacted a series of fiscal maneuvers that provided relief to the General Fund by way of transportation revenues. Following the passage of Proposition 22 in 2010, which further walled-off most other transportation funds from the General Fund, the state sought the diversion of truck weight fees to the General Fund for the purpose of servicing debt on the Proposition lB transportation bonds. The nexus of Proposition lB debt repayment to transportation purposes enabled the state to provide approximately $900 million of budget relief within the bounds of the Constitution. As the General Fund improves and as transportation revenues decline from erosion of the gas tax, the return of truck weight fees to the State Highway Account would boost funding available for transportation annually by nearly $1 billion. The Commission's adopted 2014 legislative platform states: "Revenue derived from transportation sources should be spent exclusively on transportation projects. Support measures to strengthen the relationship between transportation revenue and expenditures; oppose measures that weaken them." Therefore, staff recommends full support for two measures that restore truck weight fees to the State Highway Account: AB 2651 (Linder) and AB 2728 (Perea). The two proposals differ slightly: Agenda Item 12 42 Prohibits diversion of truck weight fees as of January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019. In the interest of full disclosure, staff is aware the California State Association of Counties does not intend to be supportive of these bills because they would have the effect of reducing the General Fund. The California Association of Councils of Governments and other transportation industry groups are expected to support one or both of these bills. The California Transportation Commission expressed supportive statements about bills in this vein. HR 29 {Gomez) -Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE This nonbinding resolution of the State Assembly expresses opposition to "outsourcing of public services and assets, which harms transparency, accountability, shared prosperity, and competition." The resolution also supports, "processes that give public service workers the opportunity to develop their own plan on how to deliver cost-effective, high-quality services." The resolution references the Taxpayer Empowerment Agenda (TEA), a proposal by a group called "In the Public Interest", which is a project of a national coalition known as the Partnership for Working Families. HR 29 itself is sponsored by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. • TEA and HR 29 presents a blanket one-size-fits-all understanding of government services being • contracted to the private sector that does not fit the reality of several agencies, including the Commission and other special-purpose entities. Much of the Commission's work is project- focused, which means workload ebbs and flows with many jobs lasting only a few years, and many of those jobs requiring extremely specialized expertise. Hiring full-time public workers for these temporary, specialized jobs is impractical, cost inefficient, and would cause the Commission to move its work forward more slowly. Historically, the Commission has retained a lean staff of public servants, staying within the 1 percent statutory cap in voter-approved Measure A for administrative salaries and benefits, and the 4 percent Measure A administrative cost cap that has been Commission policy for many years. For FY 2013/14, the Commission's adopted budget provided for approximately $8 million for public staff salaries and benefits, accounting for less than 1 percent of the total Commission budget. The Commission's budget also includes the following stated objectives: • "Commission staffing levels will be consistent with the intent of its enabling legislation, which envisioned a small, but effective staff;" and • "Contract staff and consultants will be used to augment staff efforts as much as possible to support programs or workloads, which do not appear to be of a permanent nature." Agenda Item 12 43 • .------------------------------------------- • • • TEA outlines a number of policies the Commission currently adheres to, including, in general: ../ Contract audits and oversight; ../ Language allowing the Commission to cancel contracts if the company does not meet expectations; ../ Competitive bidding requirements and transparency for recurring contracts; ../ Transparency to public of contracting processes; and ../ Audits to ensure contractors have not broken the law. However, a number of provisions of TEA are problematic in that these provisions either run afoul of existing federal requirements and would slow the Commission's work dramatically while increasing costs of operating the agency. For example: TEA Provision RCTC Concern Require a study to determine how privatization would affect the larger community and post the results online before any contract is signed. Ban contract language that guarantees company profits. Ensure that public service workers have the opportunity to submit their own plan to save money and provide quality services. Would increase project delivery timelines and costs dramatically as a new study would need to be conducted for each phase of a project (environmental, design, right of way, construction). Conflicts with federal requirements to delineate "fees" (profits) in contractor invoices. Would increase project delivery timelines and costs for every contract as Commission staff would need to repeatedly evaluate contracting vs. hiring additional staff, rather than adhering the Commission's consistent adopted budget policy. The most concerning language of HR 29 is, "the Assembly intends to introduce and advocate for responsible outsourcing legislation," signaling that future bills will be coming forward to implement some of these provisions into state law. The resolution passed the Assembly on a 44-22 vote with 13 Members not voting. The resolution is supported and opposed by numerous organizations, including but not limited: Support Oppose AFSCME California Professional Firefighters Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG) Riverside Sheriff's Association Agenda Item 12 44 California Chamber of Commerce California Special Districts Association City of Indian Wells City of Riverside League of California Cities Southwest California Legislative Council ----------------------------- State and Federal Legislative Update Budget and Implementation Committee April 28, 2014 G .
