Anne Mayer clarified the Commission adopted a process for the election of officers and read this section of the Commission's Administrative Code.

(Tetra Tech); Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to execute task orders awarded to contractors under the terms of the agreements; and Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreements, including option years, on behalf of the Commission. BACKGROUND IN FORMAT/ON: A request for qualifications (RFQ) for on-call right of way environmental services was released by staff, posted on the Commission's website, and advertised on October 18, 2012, in the local newspaper and via postcards that were mailed, with consultant statement of qualifications (SOQ) due November 15, 2012. Commission staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the November 1 deadline. Nine firms -AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc.; BRADY; Civil Environmental Survey; Kleinfelder; Leighton; Ninyo & Moore; SCS Engineers; Tetra Tech; and TRC -submitted responsible and responsive SOOs prior to the November 1 5 submittal deadline. Utilizing the evaluation criteria set Agenda Item 7 A 1 forth in the RFQ, the nine firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission and Orange County Transportation Authority staff. Scoring was based entirely upon the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFQ. Based on the evaluation committee's assessment of the written proposals and pursuant to the terms of the RFQ, the evaluation committee short listed and invited four firms to the interview phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews with the short listed firms were conducted on December 4, 2012. The evaluation committee conducted a subsequent evaluation of each firm, based on both written and interview components presented to the evaluation committee by each proposer. Accordingly, the evaluation committee recommends contract award to Kleinfelder, Leighton, Ninyo & Moore, and Tetra Tech for on-call right of way environmental services. The multiple award, on-call, task order type contracts do not guarantee work to any of the awardees; therefore, no funds are guaranteed to any consultant. Services will be provided through the Commission's issuance of contract task orders to the consultants on an as-needed basis. Consultants will be selected for specific tasks based on qualifications contained in their proposal and/or, as deemed appropriate by the Right of Way Manager, on a rotating basis, and/or, as deemed appropriate by the Right of Way Manager, by requesting written price proposals from two or more approved consultants. The Commission's standard form professional services agreement will be entered into with the consultants subject to any changes approved by the Executive Director and pursuant to legal counsel review. Staff oversight of the contract will work to maximize the effectiveness of the consultants and minimize the costs to the Commission.

BACKGROUND IN FORMAT/ON: The LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency is a joint powers authority (JPA) created to oversee the intercity passenger rail service in the travel corridor between San Diego and Los Angeles. This agency has evolved as rail service has been extended to Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties and now includes all counties along the Pacific Surfliner Corridor from San Diego to San Luis Obispo County In December 2011, the Commission voted to authorize the Chair to execute the revised bylaws and the joint exercise of powers agreement that allows the Commission to be included as an ex-officio member in the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency. The Commission representative and staff have been actively participating in the meetings since 2011. The current voting member agencies include: " Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority - 2 Votes; " Orange County Transportation Authority - 2 Votes; " San Diego Metropolitan Transit System -1 Vote; " North County Transit District -1 Vote; " San Diego Association of Governments -Votes when one of the other San Diego entities is not present; Agenda Item 7B 45 " " " " Ventura ~ounty Transportation Commission - 1 Vote; Santa Barbara County Association of Governments - 1 Vote; San Luis Obispo Council of Governments - 1 Vote; and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) - 1 Vote . The current ex-officio non-voting member agencies include: " Riverside County Transportation Commission; " Southern California Association of Governments; " National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak); and " California High-Speed Rail Authority. As identified above, the LOSSAN Board of Directors is well represented by almost every other major transportation planning agency in Southern California. This makes it important for the Commission to be an active voting member. The LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency has worked for years to try to develop corridor improvements and coordinate services between Amtrak, Metrolink, and the Coaster passenger trains. The 351-mile LOSSAN corridor operates in part over the Commission's commuter rail track rights, specifically between Fullerton and Los Angeles Union Station. In 1992, the Commission purchased the exclusive commuter rights for this segment from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway as part of a shared use agreement for $23.7 million. Therefore, any planned commuter rail service or change to existing service over this section would impact the track rights of the Commission. The Commission has a vested interest in service patterns for both the Inland Empire-Orange County Line and the 91 Line service that currently operate on the LOSSAN corridor. In an effort to gain efficiencies and local control, the LOSSAN member agencies proposed and supported Senate Bill 1225 that was signed by Governor Jerry Brown in September 2012. This bill established a process for transferring the administrative responsibilities for the state-supported intercity passenger rail service along the corridor from the Caltrans to a locally governed joint powers authority. This local authority would have more control over schedules, operations, fares, marketing, and coordination with other transit operators. The funding for the operations and capital for the corridor is intended to still come from the state as it currently does. The LOSSAN agencies must unanimously approve the new joint powers agreement before the transition can take place. The agencies would also need to locally fund the legal and development costs associated with the actual transfer agreement with the state, which will be shared and is anticipated to be less than $700,000 for the entire 1 0-member group. The LOSSAN Board will select a managing agency that will have a managing director and a small local staff. The current LOSSAN agencies are eligible to submit proposals expressing their interest in becoming the managing agency. This decision will likely take place in the spring of 2013. It is anticipated that the Commission's share of the legal and Agenda Item 78 46 " " " " " " development costs will be a one-time cost in the range of $60,000 to $100,000, which could be funded with Measure A funds in support of regional rail projects. The final determination of the Commission's share of the one-time cost as well as any future administration costs is still subject to further negotiations. Based on the current discussions and ongoing effort for Southern California rail integration and coordination, staff recommends authorizing the chair to execute the LOSSAN joint powers agreement and secure voting membership on the LOSSAN Board.

One significant duty of the Managing Agency is to assist the Agency in preparing and negotiating an Interagency Transfer Agreement which will allow the transfer of intercity rail services on the LOSSAN corridor from the State of California to the Agency beginning as soon as June 30, 2014. During the Transition Period between the effective date of this Agreement as amended per SB 1225 and the effective date of a contract between the Agency and the Managing Agency, the San Diego Association of Governments will serve as the Transitional Managing Agency. During the Transition Period, the San Diego Association of Governments will provide professional staff assistance to the Agency at a level no greater than it provided during the first half of the fiscal year 2012-2013. Whenever this Agreement establishes duties or appointments for the Man~ging Agency or its officers, those duties or appointments will be the responsibility of the Transitional Managing Agency and its officers during the Transition Period, but only to the extent such duties correspond with the past practice of the Transitional Managing Agency and the Agency or as otherwise required by law .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its July 2012 meeting, the Commission approved and adopted the FY 2012/13 transit operating and capital funding allocation for Riverside County based on the FY 2012/13 SRTP updates prepared by the eight transit operators providing public transit services in the county. Federal and State Funding Awards RTA recently received notification of selection for a $2.4 million federal grant under the FTA Section 5308 Clean Fuels Program. RTA also received $9,022,707 and $1,490,132 of state bond funds from the FY 2010/11 PTMISEA and the FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/11 CTSGP-CTAF Proposition 1 B grant programs, • respectively. Accordingly, these federal and state funds awarded need to be • programmed. Riverside Transit Center/Twin Cities Transit Center The Riverside Transit Center is currently funded with a mix of federal and local funds including $4.56 million in TUMF. At its October 25, 2012 meeting, the RTA Board directed RT A staff to redirect the remaining TUMF funding from the Riverside Transit Center to the Twin Cities Transit Center project, which will be located near the cities of Murrieta and Temecula. In addition, the RTA Board also directed RTA staff to redirect $1.33 million of residual TUMF from the now-completed Corona Transit Center to the Twin Cities Transit Center project. Finally, the RTA Board directed RTA staff to redirect $2.4 million of L TF from the heavy duty CNG bus purchase to the Twin Cities Transit Center project in lieu of the notification of being selected to receive $2.4 million of FTA Section 5308 Clean Fuels funding for the bus purchase. These actions serve to fully fund the Twin Cities Transit Center project. Further, the RTA Board directed RTA staff to redirect $2,716,000 of federal funding assigned to the Riverside Transit Center for an Alternative Transit Center project and seek a local match of $585,084 from the Commission. These actions serve to protect the federal funding while a suitable site to replace the Riverside Transit Center is studied and identified. Agenda Item 7C 71 71 • " " " 40-Foot Heavy Duty Bus Purchase RT A, over the past two fiscal years, programmed L TF funds to be used toward the purchase of 40-foot replacement CNG vehicles. Given the age and mileage of the RTA fleet, along with the fact that the fleet is facing CNG tank certification deadlines, the bus purchase is critical to continue efficient operations. Obtaining state and federal grant funds alleviates the need to use much of the programmed L TF for bus purchases and frees those funds up for other uses, namely in this case, the Twin Cities Transit Center as previously discussed. Financial Impact Staff reviewed RT A's revised plan and recommends approval of its capital funding modifications and related amendments to the FY 2012/13 SRTP. Since the federal, TUMF regional transit, and Proposition 1 8 funds are directly allocated to RT A, the only financial impact to the Commission is the allocation of L TF. There is sufficient L TF budgeted for Western County bus transit in FY 2012/13 to cover the net LTF funding required of $585,084 without the need for a budget adjustment. Therefore, there is no financial impact to the Commission with the approval of the SRTP amendments as requested. Staff will work with SCAG to update the FTIP for these amendments .

The remaining unspent funding is $7.421 million. At the September 27, 2012 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved staff's recommendation to negotiate a cooperative agreement with the City of Riverside and appropriate the following funds as outlined below: " Allocate $2,716,252 in Federal funds and up to $1,800,000 in TUMF funds toward the redevelopment and expansion of the Agency's existing transit center in the City of Riverside. " Authorize staff to issue Request for Proposals (RFP) to advance this project. The remaining funding would be re-directed to the Twin Cities Transit Center project. As a result of the actions of the City of Riverside subsequent to the September 27, 2012 Board meeting, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors met on October 12, 2012 to discuss the future direction of the Riverside Transit Center project and, in a broader sense, the longer term vision of the Agency and its operational configuration. After discussing the topic at length, the committee is recommending that all remaining funding currently programmed for the 74 rehabilitation and expansion of the downtown Riverside terminal location be re-directed to an alternate location or use provided that it comports with the regulated use of the various funding sources. As such, staff is recommending and seeking approval for the following action plan: 1. Re-direct the remaining Federal funds ($2.716 million) from the Riverside Transit Center project to another project acceptable to the FT A Project concepts include, but are not limited to, additional funding of revenue vehicles and an alternative operating site. Staff will be required to work with the FTA on amending the various grants containing the residual federal funding. · 2. Re-direct residual Riverside Transit Center TUMF funds ($4.561 million) to the Twin Cities Transit Center in the FY13 through FY17 TUMF TIP and POP (TUMF TIP}, which is anticipated to be approved by the Board in December 2012. To meet critical short-term Transportation Control Measure (TCM) deadlines in the region, the Agency must complete the Twin Cities Transit Center by December 31, 2015 or face regional non-compliance • funding status with the RCTC and the Southern California • Association of Governments (SCAG). TUMF funding not programmed in the current TUMF TIP will be programmed to alternative projects in the annual update. 3. Re-direct residual Riverside Transit Center local funds ($0.057 million) to the alternative project. With the changes outlined in this report, the Twin Cities Transit Center will be funded at a level of $9.136 million. The re-direction of the TUMF funding described in #2 above would substantially fund the Twin Cities Transit Center project and effectively program all TUMF funding represented in the TUMF TIP. Based on these changes, as well as other items independent of the circumstances of the Riverside Transit Center, staff is requesting approval to amend the Agency's FY13 Capital Budget and SRTP in order to program funds as follows: 1. Re-direct $4.561 million of residual TUMF from the Riverside Transit Center project to the Twin Cities Transit Center project 75 • " " " 2. Re-direct $1.330 million of residual TUMF from the completed Corona Transit Center project to the Twin Cities Transit Center project, as included in the current TUMF TIP 3. Program $2.400 million of FT A Section 5308 Clean Fuels grant funds for and toward the purchase of 97 40-foot heavy- duty CNG buses; this supplants $2.400 million of Local Transportation Funds (L TF) currently programmed toward the bus replacement/expansion project 4. Re-direct $2.400 million of the L TF discussed in #3 above from the purchase of 97 40-foot heavy-duty CNG buses to the Twin Cities Transit Center project 5. Re-direct the $2:716 million of residual federal funding from the Riverside Transit Center project to an alternative project of the Board's choice and FT A concurrence 6. Program $0.585 million of the L TF to the Riverside Transit Center alternative project as local match funding for the federal funding described in #5 above 7 . Re-direct the $0.057 million of residual local funding from the Riverside Transit Center project to an alternative project of the Board's choice and FT A concurrence as local match funding for the federal funding described in #5 above 8. Program $9.023 million of Proposition 1 B PTMISEA funds for and toward the purchase of 97 40-foot heavy-duty CNG buses 9. Program $1.490 million of Proposition 1 B Security funds for security improvements at Agency facilities; If approved by the Board, staff will submit these requests to WRCOG and RCTC for consideration. If approved by RCTC, RCTC will submit these changes to SCAG for modification of and subsequent FTA approval for the current Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) to include these project updates. WRCOG's approval would be achieved through the annual TUMF TIP amendment process . 76 Fiscal Impact: At the Board Budget and Finance Committee of October 3, 2012, a different financial plan was presented, discussed and approved for consideration by the full Board of Directors based on the September 27, 2012 Board action. With the direction provided by the Executive Committee on October 12, 2012, the above plan was developed. The current Board approved FY13 Capital Budget is $19,211,253. With the changes discussed above, the FY13 Capital Budget will increase by $13,497,923 to $32,709,176. Committee Recommendation: This item was discussed at the Board Executive Committee meeting of October 12, 2012. The Committee members unanimously approved and recommended this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration. Recommendation: • Direct staff to work with WRCOG to re-direct TUMF funding from the Riverside Transit Center project to the Twin Cities Transit Center project within the TUMF TIP. • Approve amendments to the FY13 Capital Budget and SRTP as discussed above and direct staff to seek final approval from RCTC. • Direct staff to work with RCTC and SCAG to incorporate approved SRTP amendments into FTIP based on approval from RCTC and SCAG. • Authorize staff to enter into Reimbursement Agreements with WRCOG for TUMF-eligible projects and in amounts depicted in the amended TUMF TIP. 77 • • • " " " :--Jovember 27, 2012 Mr. Robert J.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The FY 2009/1 0 consolidated appropriations bill identified funding in the amount of $1 ,349,000 for grade separation projects located in Riverside County, on the Alameda Corridor East. In March 2010, the Commission allocated the funding - $674,500 to the city of Corona in support of Auto Center Drive and $674,500 to Riverside in support of the Streeter Avenue grade separation project. At this time, Riverside is requesting the $674,500 in federal funds be reallocated from the Streeter Avenue project to the Riverside Avenue grade separation project to support the construction phase. The Riverside Avenue project will grade separate the Union Pacific Railroad at an estimated cost of $35.4 million. Riverside received an $8.5 million allocation in Proposition 1 B Trade Corridor Improvement Funds (TCIF). Under the terms of the TCIF program, the project must start construction no later than December 31, 2013, in order to qualify for the Proposition 1 B funding. Riverside continues to have an estimated $3.8 million funding shortfall in the project's construction phase; however, staff is working closely with the California Transportation Commission to shift unobligated Proposition 1 B funds to cover the funding shortfall. At this time, funding to cover the remaining shortfall is not requested pending further discussions. There is no financial impact to the Commission's budget as the federal funding does not flow through the Commission . Agenda Item 70 79 " AGENDA ITEM 8 " " " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 9, 2013 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 201211 3 Mid-Year Revenue Projections STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1 ) Approve the mid-year revenue projections for FY 201 211 3; 2) Approve the budget increase adjustments to Measure A revenues of 3) 4) $9 million and expenditures of $3,827,000, to reflect the revised Measure A projections; Approve the budget increase adjustments to Local Transportation Fund (L TF) revenues and transfers in of $5,051,400, and expenditures and transfers out of $676,700 to reflect the revised LTF projections; and Approve the budget increase adjustments to Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues of $2.3 million to reflect the revised TUMF projections. BACKGROUND INFORMA T/ON: Prior to the beginning of FY 2012/13, staff made projections regarding the revenue to be received from Measure A, LTF, and TUMF funds for budget purposes. Staff tracks the Measure A, L TF, and TUMF revenues on a monthly basis. Current trends indicate that Measure A and L TF receipts are about 13.1 percent and 11.8 percent higher, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year. The upward trend in receipts over the past six months reflects an improvement in sales tax revenues compared to the revenues recorded for FY 2011/12, which reflected an increase of 9.35 percent and 9.52 percent in Measure A and LTF revenues, respectively, from the FY 201 0/11 levels. TUMF revenues have increased 148 percent for the four months ended October 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year. Recovery from the nationwide recession in the local economy has been slow; however, there are signs that the Inland Empire economy is moving in the right direction. Sales tax revenues have rebounded from the recent economic downturn's low point in 2010 and have increased for 12 consecutive quarters through the second quarter of 2012. The unemployment rate has been decreasing, Agenda Item 8 80 and job growth indicators are somewhat encouraging. The housing market is • showing improvement with price appreciation and increases in building permits- especially multi-family housing. Accordingly, staff has taken a conservative approach to this year's mid-year projection analysis based on the revenue trend noted through December 2012. Staff recommends that the Commission increase the current year revenue projections for Measure A and L TF approximately 4.5 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively, above prior year revenues and to increase the TUMF revenue projection to approximate prior year revenues as follows: FY 2012/13 Revised for Increase Revenue Original FY 2012/13 Mid-Year (Decrease) Projections (January 2012) Budget Adjustment from Budget Measure A $ 124,000,000 $132,000,000 $ 141,000,000 $ 9,000,000 LTF 61,000,000 65,000,000 69,500,000 4,500,000 TUMF 4,000,000 4,000,000 6,300,000 2,300,000 For reference purposes, audited revenues for FY 2011/12 were approximately $134,984,300 (Measure A), $66,556,700 (LTF), and $6,289,800 (TUMF). The increase in Measure A revenues has a direct effect on the distributions to the geographic areas and related local streets and roads (LSR) programs. Accordingly, in addition to the revenue budget adjustments, Measure A budget adjustments for expenditures are required for the LSR aggregating $2,772,000 and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterials of $1 ,055,000. The increase in Measure A revenues also results in an increase in the 1 percent statutory limitation on administrative salaries and benefits. Based on a preliminary analysis through December 31, 2012, it appears that this limitation will not be exceeded. Additionally, the original Measure A administrative allocation of $2.7 million is sufficient to cover FY 2012/13 administrative costs. This allocation does not exceed the 4 percent limitation on administration costs adopted by the Commission in a prior year. The L TF audit was completed and financial statements were issued in November 2012. Staff revised the original projections to include the carryover that is available to the local governments and transit agencies amounting to approximately $12,212,300. Staff recommends the LTF administrative allocation be increased $50,000 for a total of $750,000. Expenditure adjustments are required for Commission and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) planning of approximately $501,400 and $125,300, respectively. Since the Commission administrative and planning allocations may be transferred to the General Fund, similar adjustments to transfers in and out are also needed. The increase for SB 821 bicycle and pedestrian projects of approximately $320,700 does not require a budget adjustment as this amount will be included in the amount Agenda Item 8 81 • • " " " available for the next call for projects. Staff is analyzing the impact of the Measure A funds and L TF apportionments for transit operators and will coordinate adjustments, if any, with the affected operators in a subsequent agenda item. Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this updated information to the necessary local governments and transit operators.

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission ~----------~------ FROM: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer ~----------~------ THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director ~----------~------ SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2013/14 Revenue Projections 1.!::::::======== STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve the projections of the Local Transportation Fund (L TF) apportionment for the Western Riverside County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley areas; 2) Approve the projections for Measure A; and 3) Approve the projections for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues. " BACKGROUND INFORMA T/ON: local Transportation Fund " The L TF projection consists of revenues generated from a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax. These L TF funds are principally used to fund transit requirements within the county of Riverside (County). The Transportation Development Act (TDA) legislation that created L TF requires the County Auditor Controller to annually estimate the amount of revenues expected to be generated from the sales tax. That estimate then becomes the basis for geographic apportionment and for claimant allocation through the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process, which commences in January 201 3 for the next fiscal year. While the County is the taxing authority and maintains custodial responsibility over the L TF revenues, the Commission by statute is charged with administration of the L TF funding process. Therefore, the practice has been for staff to develop the revenue estimate and then submit it to the County Auditor Controller for concurrence. Once the Commission and the County agree on a revenue amount, staff prepares the statutorily required apportionment. Apportionment is the process that assigns revenues to the three major geographic areas as defined by TDA law within the County: Western Riverside County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley. The revenues are divided based on the respective populations for each Agenda Item 9 85 area. The apportionment occurs after off-the-top allocations for administration to the County and Commission and set asides for Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) planning (3/4 of 1 percent), local planning activities (3 percent), and bicycle and pedestrian projects (2 percent). Attached is the FY 2013/14 L TF apportionment based on a revenue estimate of $72.5 million. The estimate will be submitted to the County for its concurrence. The estimate is based on the revised projection for FY 2012/13 and assumes a 4.3 percent increase over the FY 2012/13 estimate. This increase is conservative and represents cautious optimism based on current economic forecast information. After the deductions for administration of $812,000 and set-asides of approximately $4,098,100, the amount available for apportionment before reserves is approximately $67,589,900. The balance available for apportionment before reserves is as follows: Apportionment Area Western Riverside County Coachella Valley Palo Verde Valley Total $ $ Amount 53,701,000 13,076,200 812,700 67,589,900 In accordance with the Reserve Policy adopted by the Commission on January 12, 2005, a reserve of 10 percent for each apportionment area will be established and set aside for FY 2013/14, for unforeseen cost increases or other emergency. For the Western Riverside County apportionment area, a portion of the reserve will be allocated to each of the transit operators. For public bus transit operators, the allocation of the reserve is based on each operator's proportionate share of FY 2011/12 L TF operating allocations. Operators may access reserve funds by amending their SRTPs through the established amendment process. Measure A The Measure A projection consists of revenues generated from the local half-cent transactions and use tax approved by the voters in November 2002. These Measure A funds are principally used to fund highway, regional arterial, local streets and roads, new corridors, economic development, bond financing, bus transit, commuter rail, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation projects in the three geographic areas of Riverside County, as defined in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. FY 2013/14 represents the fifth year of the 30-year term of the 2009 Measure A. Agenda Item 9 86 • • • " " " The Measure A projection for FY 2013/14 is $14 7 million. The estimate is based on the revised projection for FY 2012113 and a 4.3 percent increase over the FY 2012/13 estimate. This increase is conservative and represents cautious optimism based on current economic forecast information. This projection will become the basis for the preparation of the FY 201 3/14 budget. The budget process typically commences in January of each year following the development of the Measure A revenue projections. Additionally, the amounts for the local streets and roads programs are usually provided to the local jurisdictions for planning purposes. After the deduction for administration of $2.8 million, which is approximately 1 .9 percent of Measure A revenues, the amount available for distribution to the three geographic areas is $144.2 million, which is allocated as follows: Geographic Area Western Riverside County Coachella Valley Palo Verde Valley Total Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Amount $ 108,401 ,000 34,781,000 1,018,000 $ 144,200,000 The TUMF projection consists of revenues generated from fees charged to new development to ensure it pays for the new transportation facilities needed to accommodate growth. As a result of a memorandum of understanding executed in 2008 between the Commission and the Western Riverside Council of Governments, the administrator of the TUMF program, the Commission receives 48.7 percent of the TUMF revenues, after an administrative allocation, for the Commission's regional arterial program. The revenue estimate for FY 2013/14 is $6.3 million. The estimate is based on the projection for FY 2012/13, and assumes no change due to the slow but recently encouraging recovery in the housing market. Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this information to the necessary local jurisdictions and transit operators for planning purposes. Staff will continue to monitor FY 2012/13 revenues during the development of the FY 2013/14 budget to determine if any adjustments to the revenue projections are necessary .
