OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR

Dear Fiscal Officer:
EDMUND G. BROWN JR. • GOVERNOR
STATE CAPITOL ■ ROOM 1 1 45 SACRAMENTO CA ■ 95814-4996 ■ WWW.DOF.CA.GOV
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
The California Revenue and Taxation Code, section 2227, requires the Department of Finance
(Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2017,
in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations
limit for fiscal year 2017-18. Attachment A provides the change in California's per capita personal
income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to
calculate the 2017-18 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated
county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change
for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data
excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. The Revenue and Taxation
Code, section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the
appropriations limit calculation mandate. The Code and the California Constitution can be
accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation
as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be
directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local
appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. Revenue and Taxation
Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that
exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller's Office. Finance will certify
the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2017.
Please Note: Prior year's city population estimates may be revised.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at
(916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living
factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost
of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage
change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used
in setting the fiscal year 2017-18 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year
(FY)
Percentage change
over prior year
2017-18 3.69
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in
California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2017-18
appropriation limit.
2017-18:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3.69 percent
Population Change = 0.85 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio:
Population converted to a ratio:
3.69 + 100 = 1.0369
100
0.85 + 100 = 1.0085
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2017-18: 1.0369 x 1.0085 = 1.0457

AGENDA ITEM 6B
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
May 22, 2017
TO:
Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM:
Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
THROUGH:
Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT:
Quarterly Financial Statements
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Receive and file the Quarterly Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2017;
and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the last nine months of the fiscal year, staff monitored the revenues and expenditures of
the Commission. The attached financial statements present the revenues and expenditures for
the nine months of the fiscal year. Period closing accrual adjustments are not included for
revenues earned but not billed and expenditures incurred for goods and services received but
not yet invoiced, as such adjustments are normally made during the year-end closing process.
The operating statement shows the sales tax revenues for the third quarter at 56 percent of the
budget. This is a result of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
No. 33. GASB No. 33 requires sales tax revenues to be accrued for the period in which it is
collected at the point of sale. The State Board of Equalization (SBOE) collects the Measure A
funds and remits these funds to the Commission after the reporting period for the businesses.
This creates a two -month lag in the receipt of revenues by the Commission. Accordingly, these
financial statements reflect the revenues related to collections for January 2017.
On a cash basis, the Measure A and Local Transportation Fund sales tax revenues are 3.66 and
4.47 percent higher, respectively than the same period last year. State Transit Assistance Fund
receipts through the second quarter have been received as of March 2017. Staff will continue to
monitor the trends in the sales tax receipts and report to the Commission any necessary
adjustments.
Federal, state, and local revenues are on a reimbursement basis. The Commission will receive
these revenues as eligible project costs are incurred and invoiced to the respective agencies.
Agenda Item 6B
8
During FY 2016/17 budget process, the Commission took a conservative approach to estimate
the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues of $18.5 million passed through
from the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG). The Commission received TUMF
receipts through January 2017. The budgeted balance of $20,000 relates to the TUMF zone
reimbursements from WRCOG for the Interstate 215 interchange project.
Toll revenues budgeted at $3.8 million represent a half year of projected toll transactions for the
RCTC 91 Express Lanes based on the Riverside County 91 Express Lanes Extension Investment
Grade Traffic and Revenue Report and 2013 financing assumptions. Substantial completion and
commencement of toll operations occurred in March 2017. Toll revenue transactions of
$657,163 reflect 12 days of toll operations.
Other revenues budgeted include $2.34 million of non -toll source of revenues not attributable
directly to toll transactions and derived from the Commission's share of 91 Express Lanes'
transaction -based fees and account -based fees, net of uncollectable tolls. The budgeted balance
of $173,000 relates to property management revenues generated from various Commission -
owned properties.
The Commission took a conservative approach in estimating investment income for FY 2016/17,
as a result of flat interest yields on investment balances. Investment income is slightly higher in
the third quarter primarily as a result of the investment of sales tax and toll revenue bond
proceeds and rising investment yields.
The expenditures/expenses and other financing sources/uses categories are in line overall with
the expectations of the budget with the following exceptions:
• Professional services include a swap termination payment of $10.3 million to Deutsche
Bank (DB). Due to Moody's Investor Service lowering DB's long-term rating to Baal, the
downgrade resulted in the occurrence of a termination event under the swap agreement.
At its September 2016 meeting, the Commission approved the termination of the forward
interest rate swap with DB in the outstanding notional amount of $63.9 million and a
termination cost of $10.3 million, resulting in the refunding of the 2009 Series A Sales Tax
Revenue Variable Rate Demand Bonds (2009 A Bonds);
• Support costs are under budget due to unused budget authority for rail station and
motorist assistance maintenance and repairs and toll operations support;
• Program operations are under budget due to unused budget authority for the 91 Project
activities, motorist and commuter assistance program operations, and highway and rail
program management;
• Capital project expenditures are generally affected by lags in invoices submitted by
contractors and consultants, as well as other issues encountered during certain phases of
the projects. The status of significant capital projects with budget exceeding $5 million is
discussed in the attachment;
• Operating and capital disbursements are made as claims are submitted to the
Commission by transit operators;
