A number of our organizations submitted a request to rescore this application on November 28, 2016 based on missing Census tract information related to Narrative Question #1--Disadvantaged Communities (enclosed). CTC staff subsequently rescored the application resulting in the project's removal from the staff recommendations list that was approved by the Commission at the December 7, 2016 meeting. Since that time, additional information has come to light regarding this project application that warrants reconsideration of the project's eligibility in the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG) competition for the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) portion of Active Transportation Program funds. On December 28, 2016, Council Member G. Dana Hobart of the City of Rancho Mirage submitted a letter to CTC staff regarding additional inaccuracies and misrepresentations within the CV Link application. According to Mr. Hobart, the project sponsors failed to disclose within the application that the cities of Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells have withdrawn from the CV Link project, resulting in substantial gaps in the proposed 50-mile project. These two gaps constitute 10% of the project's length and greatly impact the stated benefits to disadvantaged community residents --in terms of access to services and jobs --as well as the claimed benefits to improved active transportation mobility. The 2017 Active Transportation Program Guidelines (Section 111.9, Page 5) state that "A project applicant found to have purposefully misrepresented information that could affect a project's score may result in the applicant being excluded from the program for the current cycle and the next cycle." Accordingly, we write to request that the California Transportation Commission exclude this project application from the current cycle and the next cycle in alignment with the adopted Program Guidelines. If the Commission chooses to not exclude this project application, then we request that SCAG and the Riverside County Transportation Commission rescore this application in light of a drastically different scope that would impact the project's score for Narrative Question #2--Potential for Increasing Walking and Bicycling. We thank the Commission for working with all stakeholders to ensure the success and integrity of the Active Transportation Program.

We discovered an issue in the CV Link - Multi -Modal Transportation Corridor application in the response to Narrative Question #1 - Disadvantaged Communities, that warrants additional review and possible rescoring of the application. The instructions for Narrative Question #1 state that the applicant "must provide information for all Census Tract/Block Group/Place # that the project affects" (emphasis added). This should include Census tracts that qualify as disadvantaged, as well as those that do not qualify as disadvantaged. A median of household incomes for all the affected Census tracts --both low- and high -income --adjacent to the project is then used to calculate a "severity" subscore which indicates the depth of disadvantage of the whole area affected by the project and is worth up to 4 points in the application. In the case of the CV Link project, there are dozens of Census tracts in the vicinity of the 50-mile project, some of which are very low-income but also many that are high -income. Unfortunately, the applicant agency only provided data for the Census tracts that meet the criteria for low-income (below 80% of median household income) in their response to Narrative Question #1 and failed to list the adjacent census tracts that are not low-income. Therefore, the median of all household incomes for all affected census tracts appears very low because only the low-income affected census tracts were used in the calculation, ultimately resulting in a higher severity subscore for the whole area adjacent to CV Link than should have been awarded. We write to you in earnest with the understanding that the Commission aims to adopt the staff recommendation at the December 7 meeting and that any changes to the staff recommended project list could have implications for funding a number of other projects on the list.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Prior to the beginning of FY 2016/17, staff made projections regarding the revenues to be received from Measure A, LTF, and TUMF funds for budget purposes. Staff tracks the Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues on a monthly basis. Current trends indicate Measure A and LTF receipts are about 9.6 percent and 13.7 percent higher, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period last year. The overall upward yet slowing trend in receipts over the past six months reflects some improvement in sales tax revenues compared to the actual receipts during the same period in FY 2015/16. For comparison purposes, the FY 2015/16 actual revenues reflected an increase of 2.8 percent and 3 percent in Measure A and LTF revenues, respectively, from the FY 2014/15 levels. FY 2016/17 TUMF receipts to date are lower than the FY 2015/16 trend; however, monthly TUMF receipts tend to fluctuate significantly – making it difficult to identify and project any trend. FY 2015/16 TUMF revenues were 14 percent higher than FY 2014/15 and at the highest level since FY 2006/07. Sales tax revenues have rebounded from the economic downturn’s low point in 2010. The unemployment rate continues to decrease and new jobs are being added, primarily in the construction and administrative support service industries. Home sale transactions continue to rise. These indicators support an expanding economy. Nonetheless, staff will continue to take a conservative approach to this year’s mid-year projection analysis based on the revenue trend 1 Agenda Item 6A noted through December 2016. Staff recommends the Commission maintain the current year revenue projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues projections as follows: Revenue Projections Original (January 2016) FY 2016/17 Budget Revised for Mid- Year Adjustment Increase (Decrease) from Budget Measure A $ 177,000,000 $ 173,000,000 $ 173,000,000 $ 0 LTF 85,000,000 85,000,000 85,000,000 0 TUMF 18,500,000 18,500,000 18,500,000 0 For reference purposes, audited revenues for FY 2015/16 were approximately $167,630,000 (Measure A), $83,776,000 (LTF), and $19,789,000 (TUMF). The Measure A and LTF revenue projections for FY 2016/17 are 3.2 percent and 1.5 percent higher than the FY 2015/16 actual revenues, respectively. The TUMF revenue projection reflects the prior fiscal year’s actual revenue with a 7 percent decrease due to the staff’s conservative approach and the fluctuating trends. Any change in Measure A revenue projections has a direct effect on the distributions to the geographic areas and related local streets and roads (LSR) programs. Since there is no change in the Measure A revenue projections, no adjustments are required for LSR expenditures and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterials. Since there is no change in Measure A revenues, there is no change in the 1 percent statutory limitation on administrative salaries and benefits. Based on preliminary analysis through December 31, 2016, it appears that this limitation will not be exceeded. Additionally, the original Measure A administrative allocation $3,250,000 is sufficient to cover FY 2016/17 administrative costs. This allocation does not exceed the 4 percent limitation on administration costs adopted by the Commission in the prior year. The LTF audit was completed and financial statements were issued in October 2016. Staff revised the original LTF projections to include the carryover that is available to the local governments and transit agencies amount to approximately $9,299,000. Staff recommends the LTF administrative allocation to the Commission remain unchanged at $1 million. Expenditure adjustments are required for Commission and Southern California Association of Governments planning of approximately $279,000 and $69,700, respectively. Since the Commission administrative and planning allocations may be transferred to the General fund, similar adjustments to transfer in and out are also needed. The increase for SB 821 bicycle and pedestrian projects of approximately $179,000 does not require a budget adjustment, as this amount will be included in the amount available for the next call for projects. The increase in the LTF balance available for apportionments for transit operators of approximately $7,894,000 also does not require a budget adjustment as this amount will be available for any transit allocation adjustments based on amendments to transit operator Short Range Transit Plans. 2 Agenda Item 6A Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this updated information to the necessary local governments and transit operators. Additionally, staff will continue to monitor FY 2016/17 revenues to determine if any adjustments to the revenue projections or Measure A and LTF administration are necessary.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Prior to the commencement of the annual budget process, the Chief Financial Officer presents to the Commission the projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues related to the next fiscal year. These revenue projections include consideration of historical and current trends of receipts and economic data collected from various sources. The source of data is the quarterly sales tax forecast of Measure A revenues prepared by MuniServices, LLC. Measure A The Measure A projection consists of revenues generated from the local half-cent transactions and use tax approved by voters in November 2002. The 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. The percentage of Measure A revenues allocated to each of these geographic areas is based on return to source of the sales tax revenues generated. FY 2017/18 represents the ninth year of the 30-year term of the 2009 Measure A. The Measure A projection for FY 2017/18 is $176 million. The estimate is based on the mid-year projection for FY 2016/17 and a 1.7 percent increase over the FY 2016/17 estimate. 5 Agenda Item 6B This increase is conservative and represents cautious optimism based on current economic forecast information and recent fiscal year trends. This projection will become the basis for the preparation of the FY 2017/18 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 $3.4 million, which is approximately 1.9 percent of Measure A revenues, the amount available for distribution to the three geographic areas is $172.6 million, which is allocated as follows: Geographic Area Amount Western Riverside County $ 133,414,000 Coachella Valley 38,171,000 Palo Verde Valley 1,015,000 Total $ 172,600,000 Local Transportation Fund The LTF projection consists of revenues generated from a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax. These LTF funds are principally used to fund transit requirements within the county of Riverside (County). The Transportation Development Act (TDA) legislation that created LTF requires the County Auditor Controller to annually estimate the amount of revenues expected to be generated from the sales tax. The estimate then becomes the basis for geographic apportionment and for claimant allocation through the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process, which commences in January for the next fiscal year. While the County is the taxing authority and maintains custodial responsibility over the LTF revenues, the Commission by statute is charged with administration of the LTF 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 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 planning (3/4 of 1 percent), local planning activities (3 percent), and bicycle and pedestrian projects (2 percent). Attached is the FY 2017/18 LTF apportionment based on a revenue estimate of $88 million. The estimate will be submitted to the County for its concurrence. The estimate is based on the mid-year projection for FY 2016/17 and assumes a 3.5 percent increase over the FY 2016/17 estimate. This increase is conservative and represents cautious optimism based on current 6 Agenda Item 6B economic forecast information. After the deductions for administration of $1,050,000 and set-asides of approximately $4,985,000, the amount available for apportionment before reserves is approximately $81,965,000. The balance available for apportionment before reserves is as follows: Geographic Area Amount Western Riverside County $ 65,228,000 Coachella Valley 15,852,000 Palo Verde Valley 885,000 Total $ 81,965,000 In accordance with Reserve Policy adopted by the Commission at its January 12, 2005 meeting, a reserve of 10 percent for each apportionment area will be established and set aside for FY 2017/18, 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 2015/16 LTF operating allocations. Operators may access reserve funds by amending their SRTPs through the established amendment and Commission approval process. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee 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 2017/18 is $20 million. The estimate is based on the projection for FY 2016/17, and assumes an 8.1 percent increase. Next Steps Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this information to the local jurisdictions and transit operators for planning purposes. Staff will continue to monitor FY 2016/17 revenues during the development of the FY 2017/18 budget to determine if any adjustments to the revenue projections are necessary. 7 Agenda Item 6B Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: N/A Year: FY 2017/18 Amount: $176,000,000 Measure A; $88,000,000 LTF; $20,000,000 TUMF Source of Funds: Measure A, LTF, and TUMF Budget Adjustment: N/A GL/Project Accounting No.: Measure A $ 3,400,000 001001 401 40101 101 1X 40101 40,501,000 623999 401 40101 262 31 40101 14,691,000 613999 401 40101 261 31 40101 8,100,000 654199 401 40101 265 33 40101 2,025,000 269 62 40101 2,531,000 260 26 40101 844,000 270 26 40101 1,985,000 632199 401 40101 263 41 40101 11,913,000 266 72 40101 38,515,000 267 71 40101 10,721,000 264 19 40101 1,588,000 683999 401 40101 268 31 40101 19,085,000 563999 401 40101 256 31 40101 13,360,000 257 71 40101 5,726,000 258 26 40101 1,015,000 234 71 40101 LTF 88,000,000 601 62 40102 TUMF 10,000,000 725000 416 41607 210 72 42110 10,000,000 735000 416 41607 210 73 42110 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 12/15/2016 Attachments: 1) Measure A Program Allocation FY 2017/18 2) Riverside County LTF FY 2017/18 Apportionment 8 Revenues 176,000,000$ Less: Administration 3,400,000 APPORTIONMENT TO PROGRAMS 172,600,000$ Western County Highway Improvements 40,501,000$ New Corridors 14,691,000 Public Transit Commuter Rail 8,100,000 Intercity Bus 2,025,000 Specialized Transit-Operations 2,531,000 Specialized Transit-CTSA 844,000 Commuter Services 1,985,000 Regional Arterial 11,913,000 Local Streets & Roads 38,515,000 BANNING 552,000$ BEAUMONT - CALIMESA 155,000 CANYON LAKE 174,000 CORONA 3,950,000 EASTVALE 1,255,000 HEMET 1,656,000 JURUPA VALLEY 1,896,000 LAKE ELSINORE 1,280,000 MENIFEE 1,624,000 MORENO VALLEY 3,829,000 MURRIETA 2,299,000 NORCO 643,000 PERRIS 1,476,000 RIVERSIDE 7,280,000 SAN JACINTO 836,000 TEMECULA 2,929,000 WILDOMAR 604,000 RIVERSIDE COUNTY 5,211,000 RCTC Regional Arterial 866,000 Bond Financing 10,721,000 Economic Development Projects 1,588,000 SUBTOTAL―Western County 133,414,000 Coachella Valley Highways & Regional Arterials 19,085,000 Local Street & Roads 13,360,000 CATHEDRAL CITY 1,461,000$ COACHELLA 602,000 DESERT HOT SPRINGS 466,000 INDIAN WELLS 232,000 INDIO 1,866,000 LA QUINTA 1,449,000 PALM DESERT 2,660,000 PALM SPRINGS 2,007,000 RANCHO MIRAGE 874,000 RIVERSIDE COUNTY 1,743,000 Specialized & Public Transit 5,726,000 SUBTOTAL―Coachella Valley 38,171,000 Palo Verde Valley Local Street & Roads 1,015,000 BLYTHE 826,000$ RIVERSIDE COUNTY 189,000 SUBTOTAL―Palo Verde Valley 1,015,000 TOTAL 172,600,000$ Note: Estimate for Planning Purposes, subject to change and rounding differences.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In May 2013 the Commission approved the ORCOA to facilitate the joint operation of the 91 Express Lanes between the Commission and OCTA through the use of the existing contractor, Cofiroute. In November 2016, the Commission approved an amendment to the ORCOA to reflect a reduction in total costs due to a reduction in the annual escalation rate and the removal of the customer assistance patrol from the scope of work. Staff is requesting an additional amendment to the ORCOA to incorporate the final joint agreements related to the use and maintenance of the Revenue and Account Management Systems (RAMS) software with Cofiroute, to reduce the monthly costs under the ORCOA for the software license and maintenance agreements and to reallocate funds originally anticipated for the Commission’s share of joint operating costs to extended pre-operations costs. The ORCOA includes three items related to the RAMS software that required further negotiation upon completion of the software updates to incorporate the Commission’s extension of the 91 Express Lanes: • RAMS Software License Agreement (License Agreement), • Software Escrow Agreement (Escrow Agreement), and • Software Maintenance Agreement (Maintenance Agreement). 11 Agenda Item 6C Updates to the RAMS software have been completed for the inclusion of the Commission’s extension of the 91 Express Lanes. Commission and OCTA staff worked with Cofiroute to finalize the terms of the License Agreement, Escrow Agreement, and Maintenance Agreement. All three agreements have been negotiated as joint agreements with OCTA, and the costs will be shared equally. The License Agreement grants the Commission and OCTA a joint non-exclusive license to use the RAMS software on the computer hardware and software that operates the 91 Express Lanes. The annual license fee was included in the ORCOA as an agency specific cost at an initial annual amount of $91,875 per year per agency. Commission and OCTA staff negotiated a lower initial year amount of $87,500 per agency by entering into a shared license agreement with OCTA. The monthly amount charged to each agency under the ORCOA for the license fee will be adjusted in the ORCOA to reflect the reduced cost. The Commission’s annual license fee may increase if the Commission or OCTA require additional upgrades to the RAMS software. The license fee is not subject to annual escalation due to other factors. The Escrow Agreement sets forth Cofiroute’s requirement to deposit a copy of the RAMS source code and certain related documentation related to the RAMS software into an escrow account. The Escrow Agreement also sets forth both the Commission and OCTA’s rights to retrieve such items from escrow. The escrow account will be shared equally by the Commission and OCTA and has been included in previous Commission authorization requests. The Maintenance Agreement sets forth Cofiroute’s responsibilities related to the on-going maintenance of the RAMS software. The estimated Maintenance Agreement cost was included in the ORCOA joint scope of work; however, both the form of the agreement and the annual cost was subject to negotiation. Staff worked with OCTA and Cofiroute to finalize the form of the Maintenance Agreement and to negotiate an annual shared maintenance cost of $687,435, which is subject to 2 percent annual escalation and is a reduction in the original amount of $731,315 included in the ORCOA. The pre-operation activities performed by Cofiroute in preparation for the Commission’s opening of the 91 Express Lanes extension are included in Exhibit C (the Commission’s scope of work) of the ORCOA. The pre-operation activities include the cost of staff hired in advance of revenue commencement to prepare for operations and to service customers. In accordance with the pre-operations plan, Cofiroute hired and trained staff in preparation for an estimated January opening. In order to keep the additional staff in place through the current anticipated opening date of early spring 2017, staff recommends that funding identified in the ORCOA for joint operating costs be reallocated to provide for extended pre-operations costs. The total contract authorized amount will not change. Staff requests approval of Amendment No. 2 to the ORCOA to incorporate the final License, Software and Maintenance Agreements related to the RAMS software, reflect the reduction in Software License and Maintenance Agreements, and reallocate funds from operations to pre-operations, as described in this staff report. These amendments do not result in an increase in costs to the Commission. 12 Agenda Item 6C Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes Year: FY 2016/17+ Amount: $0 net increase Source of Funds: Toll Bonds Operations and Maintenance Reserve Funds and toll revenues Budget Adjustment: N/A GL/Project Accounting No.: 009199 73305 00000 0000 591 31 73302 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 12/15/2016 Attachment: ORCOA Amendment No. 13-31-105-02 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 17336.02109\29406376.4 1 924805.1 AMENDMENT NO. 2 OCTA AGREEMENT NO.

The regular application of patches is also part of preventative maintenance. All patches are first applied to Staging and QA systems where the impact can be validated. For efficiency purposes, server resets/reboots are typically timed to coincide with patch application, so that the systems will restart and operate properly once patches have been applied. During maintenance activity automated processes – virus scanners, disk defragmentation, and index optimization are validated. System Checks System checks are performed daily to check that all systems are functioning properly. These checks include validation of website integration, IOP, and IVR integration. These checks proactively seek out possible system failures before they significantly impact on-going operations. SQL Maintenance On a monthly basis automated routines affecting index rebuilds, system statistics, and table growth are all reviewed. Tables that contain log data and are not essential to maintain system transactions are purged and pruned. Server Maintenance Schedule No maintenance is performed the first week of the month. System Checks are performed, but servers are not reset. The second week of the month, staging servers receive maintenance. The third week of the month QA servers receive maintenance and applications receive a brief validation. The last week of the month Production servers receive maintenance to satisfy the PCI requirement to apply vendor security patches within 30 days of release. Backups Disk backups are performed as routine part of normal operations. In addition, RAMS SQL Server backups are performed and maintained. The Production Servers support full recovery making use of full backups weekly, differential backups daily, and transaction logs hourly. Backups are routinely tested by restoring production backups for QA testing. Maintenance Schedule System and Security Patches (P) are released by Microsoft on the second Tuesday of each month for both servers and workstations. These updates are typically comprised of patches for the Operating System, Windows components and applications. Server Reboots (R) are typically required after patches are applied to a server or workstation and scheduled accordingly. 45 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 17336.02109\29406376.4 D-Attachment 2 10 924805.1 Reboots specific to the bimonthly Mailroom Toolkit Architect installation (M) are required on certain servers.

(Joshua Grading) for railroad right of way (ROW) property maintenance services for a three-year term, and two one-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount of $2,750,000, plus a contingency amount of $250,000, for a total amount not to exceed $3 million; 2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement, including option years, on behalf of the Commission; 3) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to execute task orders awarded to the contractor under the terms of the agreements; and 4) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve the use of the contingency amount as may be required for these services. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission owns and maintains approximately 24 miles of the operating railroad ROW within the county of Riverside. The Commission’s maintenance begins at a junction with the BNSF Railway (BNSF) line north of the city of Riverside and turns southeast along the San Jacinto Branch Line. The terminus of the line is in the city of Menifee west of Sherman Road.

At any time during the term of this Agreement, Commission may request that Contractor perform Extra Work. As used herein, “Extra Work” means any work which is determined by Commission to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project, but which the parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization from Commission’s Representative. 79 17336.00603\29314783.1 12 3.3.5 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Commission shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at the Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the Commission, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. 3.3.6 Payroll Records. In accordance with the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1776, Contractor shall keep accurate payroll records which are either on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or which contain the same information required by such forms. Responsibility for compliance with California Labor Code Section 1776 shall rest solely with Contractor, and Contractor shall make all such records available for inspection at all reasonable hours. 3.3.7 Registration. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subcontractor. This Project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. 3.3.8 Employment of Apprentices. This Agreement shall not prevent the employment of properly indentured apprentices in accordance with the California Labor Code, and no employer or labor union shall refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as indentured apprentices on the work performed hereunder solely on the ground of race, creed, national origin, ancestry, color or sex. Every qualified apprentice shall be paid the standard wage paid to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade in which he or she is employed and shall be employed only in the craft or trade to which he or she is registered. If California Labor Code Section 1777.5 applies to the Services, Contractor and any subcontractor hereunder who employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall apply to the joint apprenticeship council administering applicable standards for a certificate approving Contractor or any sub-contractor for the employment and training of apprentices. Upon issuance of this certificate, Contractor and any sub-contractor shall employ the number of apprentices provided for therein, as well as contribute to the fund to administer the apprenticeship program in each craft or trade in the area of the work hereunder. 80 17336.00603\29314783.1 13 The parties expressly understand that the responsibility for compliance with provisions of this Section and with Sections 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code in regard to all apprenticeable occupations lies with Contractor. 3.3.9 Eight-Hour Law. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Labor Code, eight hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work, and the time of service of any worker employed on the work shall be limited and restricted to eight hours during any one calendar day, and forty hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half the basic rate for all hours worked in excess of eight hours per day ("Eight- Hour Law"), unless Contractor or the Services are not subject to the Eight-Hour Law. Contractor shall forfeit to Commission as a penalty, $50.00 for each worker employed in the execution of this Agreement by him, or by any sub-contractor under him, for each calendar day during which such workman is required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any calendar day and forty hours in any one calendar week without such compensation for overtime violation of the provisions of the California Labor Code, unless Contractor or the Services are not subject to the Eight-Hour Law. 3.4 Termination of Agreement. 3.4.1 Grounds for Termination. Commission may, by written notice to Contractor, terminate the whole or any part of this Agreement at any time and without cause by giving written notice to Contractor of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least seven (7) days before the effective date of such termination. Upon termination, Contractor shall be compensated only for those services which have been adequately rendered to Commission, and Contractor shall be entitled to no further compensation. Contractor may not terminate this Agreement except for cause. 3.4.2 Effect of Termination.

(Fibertronics) for closed circuit television (CCTV) security system capital improvements for an additional amount of $318,000, plus a contingency amount of $31,800, for a total additional amount of $349,800, and a total contract amount not to exceed $1,643,405; 2)Authorize the procurement of CCTV equipment through the use of the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) pursuant to the Public Contract Code Section 10299(a) and the Commission’s Procurement Policy Manual in the amount of $667,000.00, plus a contingency amount of $66,700, for a total amount not to exceed $733,700; 3)Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; 4)Authorize the Executive Director or designee to execute task orders awarded under the terms of the agreements; and 5)Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve the use of the contingency amount as may be required for the CCTV maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its April 10, 2013 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 13-24-066-00 with Fibertronics to provide CCTV security system maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements for the five commuter rail stations owned and operated by the Commission – Downtown Riverside, La Sierra, Pedley, North Main Corona, West Corona – and Perris Transit Center (classic stations) for a three-year term, and two one-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount not to exceed $614,570. As noted at that meeting, staff returned to the Commission and obtained approval for an amendment to the agreement for certain CCTV capital improvements in the amount of $679,035 for CCTV maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements at three new Perris Valley Line (PVL) stations. This brought the total authorization to $1,293,605. 91 Agenda Item 6E With the commencement of PVL operations in June 2016, the Commission now owns and operates nine commuter rail stations and an operations control center in Riverside County (County). As a result of the PVL operations, coordination with the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, city of Riverside, and the County, and fire/public safety services will continue to require ongoing partnership and communication in order to address the needs and safety of the County’s stakeholders, commuters, community, and residents. Since commencement of PVL operations, the Commission’s partners have raised several additional safety concerns including the PVL rail crossings at Poarch Road, Watkins Drive, Blaine Street, Spruce Street, and Mt. Vernon Avenue. To resolve these concerns with the stakeholder agencies in a timely manner, the Commission is currently using Fibertronics to place CCTV video surveillance at these locations along with an electronic operating gate system at Poarch Road for fire/safety personnel to utilize in the event of fire or other emergency events that require the opening of the closed crossing. As a result of these capital improvements required for the safety, preservation, and protection of the PVL route, staff expended a substantial portion of the Fibertronics agreement authority on the installation of crossing cameras, electronic command and control of access, video surveillance, and related software and hardware for operations at these locations. Also, now that the stations are complete and operating, the CCTV systems requirements, and therefore the costs to install those systems, will be higher than originally anticipated in 2015. As a result, CCTV upgrades at the classic stations and installation of new CCTV systems at the three new PVL stations cannot be completed without additional contract authorization. Staff estimates $318,000, plus a contingency of $31,800, for an additional amount of $349,800 is needed for Fibertronics to provide the labor and equipment to complete installation of the CCTV capital improvements at the classic and new stations. Additional equipment costs to complete these capital improvements are estimated at $667,000, plus a contingency of $66,700, for a total amount not to exceed $733,700, and staff recommends the procurement of the equipment through a CMAS Agreement pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 10299(a) and the Commission’s Procurement Policy Manual, to assure competitive pricing. All costs for capital improvements will be funded by Proposition 1B grant funds. CCTV maintenance and repairs as well as capital improvements are an essential part of the security operations. Installing and upgrading the system enhances public safety, reduces vandalism, prevents crime, and identifies criminal activity. The CCTV system has provided law enforcement the ability to identify fault, investigate accidents, and incarcerate offenders, while providing a sense of security and safety for the customers and protecting both the Commission and customers’ assets. 92 Agenda Item 6E Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes N/A Year: FY 2016/17 FY 2017/18 Amount:$611,000 $472,500 Source of Funds: 2009 Measure A Western County Rail and Proposition 1B security funds Budget Adjustment: NO N/A GL/Project Accounting No.: 244XXX 73301/73315 00000 0000 103 24 73301 $1,083,500 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 12/29/2016 Attachment: Draft Agreement No. 13-24-066-04 93 17336.00603\29131210.2 1 Agreement No. 13-24-066-04 AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO AGREEMENT FOR CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR METROLINK STATIONS WITH FIBERTRONICS, INC. 1.

(S2) to provide construction management (CM), materials testing, and construction surveying services for the La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion project, in the amount of $544,000, plus a contingency amount of $54,400, for a total amount not to exceed $598,400; 2)Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and 3)Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve the use of the contingency amount as may be required for the project. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The La Sierra Station was constructed by five separate construction projects, starting in 1995 and finishing in 2003 with the completion of the existing parking lot. The existing parking consists of 1,055 parking spaces, which includes 25 Americans with Disabilities Act spaces, 25 Rideshare spaces, and one bus bay. On a daily basis during the work week, the parking lot reaches 95 percent capacity. As part of the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project’s (91 Project) efforts to obtain a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan, the Commission made a multimodal commitment for express bus service as a part of the 91 Project. The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) agreed to provide the new service, and the location identified for originating the route is the La Sierra Station, just east of the entry point to the RCTC 91 Express Lanes. In April 2009, the Commission approved an amendment to Agreement No. 02-33-029, with Engineering Resources of Southern California for design services for an expansion of the La Sierra parking lot to the adjacent 4.6-acre Commission-owned parcel. A preliminary design was then completed. 97 Agenda Item 6F In May 2016, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 16-009 certifying the La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and approved the La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion project. With the completion of the environmental phase, staff moved forward with the project design. The project will expand the existing parking lot at the La Sierra Station for both regional and commuter rail and bus passengers by providing approximately 495 additional parking spaces, six bus bays for RTA service, a new signalized access/driveway onto Indiana Avenue, landscaping, and a small storage building and restroom facility for the transit operators and station security personnel. The total project construction cost is estimated at $3.2 million. The funding for this project is comprised of proceeds from the sale of two excess properties that were purchased using federal funds in 2003 as part of a larger parcel for the La Sierra Station. On May 8, 2015, the Federal Transit Administration concurred that the sale proceeds can be applied toward transit- related capital projects, specifically for the expansion of the La Sierra Station bus/park and ride parking lot. Accordingly, CM, materials testing, and construction surveying services are required prior to construction. The funding for CM services is comprised of Proposition 1B grant funds. Procurement Process Pursuant to Government Code 4525 et seq, selection of architectural, engineering, and related services, including construction management, shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. Therefore, staff used the qualification method of selection for the procurement of these services. Evaluation criteria included elements such as corporate qualifications of the offeror and team, CM organization and qualifications of key team personnel, project understanding and approach, and materials testing and construction surveying services. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 16-24-080-00 for CM services was released by staff on May 12, 2016. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and the RFQ was posted to the Commission’s PlanetBids website, which is accessible through the Commission’s website. Utilizing PlanetBids, emails were sent to 660 firms, 126 of which are located in Riverside County. Through the PlanetBids site, 89 firms downloaded the RFQ; 22 of these firms are located in Riverside County. A pre-submittal conference was held on May 26 and attended by 17 firms; 8 firms are local to Riverside County. Staff responded to all questions and requests for clarification submitted by potential proposers prior to the June 2 written question deadline. Six firms – Dynamic Engineering Services, Inc. (Corona); Falcon Engineering Services, Inc. (Corona); MARRS Services, Inc. (Fullerton); PreScience Corporation (Santa Ana); Psomas (Riverside); and S2 (Rancho Cucamonga) – submitted responsive statements of qualifications (SOQs) prior to the 98 Agenda Item 6F 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on June 16. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFQ, the firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission, Bechtel, and Caltrans staff. Based on the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written SOQs and pursuant to the terms of the RFQ, the evaluation committee short listed and invited four firms – Falcon Engineering Services, Inc.; PreScience Corporation; Psomas; and S2 – to the interview phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews were conducted on July 19. Subsequently, the evaluation panel determined S2 to be the most qualified firm to provide CM, materials testing, and surveying services for the La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion project, as it earned the highest total evaluation score. The SOQ score counted for 40 percent of the overall combined score, and the interview counted for 60 percent. Negotiation of Contract Terms, Scope, Schedule, and Cost After the evaluation committee determined S2 to be the most qualified firm to perform the work outlined in the scope of services, staff began negotiations to finalize contract terms, scope, schedule, and cost to establish a fair and reasonable price. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Commission approve the consultant selection process and award Agreement No. 16-24-080-00 to S2 to provide CM, materials testing, and surveying services for the La Sierra Parking Lot Expansion project in the amount of $544,000, plus a contingency of $54,400, for a total amount not to exceed $598,400.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 27, 2015, the Commission approved the programming of $20 million of federal CMAQ funds for operating assistance for the Perris Valley Line (PVL). Under MAP-21, agencies are allowed to use CMAQ for operating assistance for startup operating costs for new transportation services, such as PVL for the first five years. An amendment of $20 million to the FY 2016/17 Commuter Rail SRTP is required as the revenue was not identified in the original submittal. The Commission collaborated with partnering transportation providers to use the funds in the most efficient manner. Therefore, staff coordinated with Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) and Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) to use the CMAQ funds to enhance the commuter benefits. After the review of the potential costs, staff decided to augment the scope of use for the funds to cover additional eligible services associated to PVL operations. Staff intends to include the pass-through of CMAQ funds to pay for SCRRA operating contracts meeting federal procurement requirements, RTA new shuttle services that provide direct service to PVL, and Commission security contract costs for the four new PVL stations. The security contract was federalized and executed on October 1, 2016, following Commission award in September 2016. 152 Agenda Item 6H Staff’s intent is to use the funds over five years with an initial start of $4.7 million in the first year and anticipated incremental costs over future years. As such, use of these funds require an increase to the FY 2016/17 budget of $4.7 million for CMAQ grant revenues and corresponding rail operations, shuttle service expenditures and station security. An agreement for the RTA shuttles is addressed in a separate item. The balance of CMAQ funds will offset Measure A funds currently in the budget for SCRRA operations. The CMAQ funds in this grant are reimbursements with toll credits as a local match; therefore, no additional funds will be required. The funding agreements required with SCRRA and RTA will be executed in order to comply with Federal Transit Administration guidelines.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission’s Commuter Rail Program applies for various federal and state funding that is necessary to fund rail projects within Riverside County and to meet the Commission’s annual funding responsibility to maintain and rehabilitate The Commission’s rail stations. Each year various funding opportunities become available and require a resolution from the Commission authorizing the Executive Director to act on behalf of the Commission to complete the necessary paperwork to obtain capital funds for rail projects. The attached resolution is for the following formula funding opportunity: State of California - Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement Account Bond Program (PTMISEA) With the recommended resolution, staff will complete the grant application for $100,774 of residual Fiscal Year 2008/09 and FY 2009/10. The residual amount being allocated to the Commission is a result of funding the state set aside for potential administration costs; however, the State Controller’s Office determined those funds are no longer needed for that use and designated those funds to be used for projects. The Commission will use the funds for its Rail Passenger Efficiency Upgrade project, which is funded with the same funds applied from FY 2014/15. The projects that will fall under this grant will address passenger comfort and security at the stations with passenger shelters to protect riders from the elements, benches and seating to make waits easier, and emergency 154 Agenda Item 6I phones to improve security. Security and safety will also be addressed with improved fencing and access control to the platforms to ensure safe and efficient paths of travel for the riders. Security lighting will also be included to make the stations welcoming throughout the year, especially for the early morning and late night commuters. Funding related to the resolution will be listed and budgeted in FY 2017/18 Short Range Transit Plan, which is approved by the Commission.

Tavaglione, Chair Riverside County Transportation Commission 156 ATTEST: Jennifer Harmon, Clerk of the Board Riverside County Transportation Commission 157 AGENDA ITEM 6J Agenda Item 6J RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 11, 2017 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Brian Cunanan, Commuter and Motorist Assistance Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Operation of the Freeway Service Patrol Program in Riverside County STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1)Approve Agreement No. 17-45-057-00 with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the operation of the Riverside County Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program in an amount not to exceed $1,648,178 in state funding for Fiscal Year 2016/17; and 2)Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1986, the Commission established itself as the Riverside County Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (RC SAFE) after the enactment of SB 1199 in 1985. The purpose of the formation of SAFEs in California was to provide call box services and, with excess funds, provide additional motorist aid services. Funding for RC SAFE is derived from a one dollar per vehicle registration fee on vehicles registered in Riverside County. Initially, these funds were used only for the call box program. As additional motorist aid services were developed, SAFE funds were also used to provide FSP and the Inland Empire 511 traveler information services as part of a comprehensive motorist aid system in Riverside County. In 1990, Proposition C was passed to fund transportation improvements and to help reduce traffic congestion in California. From this, the FSP program was created by Caltrans, which developed the corresponding Local Funding Allocation Plan to distribute funds to participating jurisdictions through a formula based on population, urban freeway lane miles, and levels of congestion. The Commission, acting in its capacity as the RC SAFE, is the principal agency in Riverside County, in partnership with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol, managing the FSP program. The purpose of the FSP program is to provide a continuously roving tow services patrol along designated freeway segments (referred to as beats) to relieve freeway congestion and facilitate the rapid removal of disabled vehicles and those involved in minor accidents on 158 Agenda Item 6J local freeways. Currently, the Commission contracts with four tow truck operators to provide service on a total of nine beats Monday through Friday during the peak commute hours, 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. on Fridays) to 6:30 p.m. In FY 2015/16, FSP performed 36,711 assists. DISCUSSION: In November 2016, the Commission received the attached fund transfer agreement from Caltrans for FY 2016/17. Caltrans funding agreements are reimbursement-based and allow for the carryover of contract balances not expended in the agreement’s stated fiscal year. This allows the Commission to fully expend allocated amounts and also helps to accommodate the timing of the Caltrans allocation release, which is typically later during the fiscal year for which it is intended. The Caltrans funding agreement for FY 2016/17 provides for continued state funding in the amount of $1,648,178. The Commission will fund the required local match of $412,045 with RC SAFE revenues. As with prior funding agreements, any state funds not claimed in the current fiscal year will be carried over and claimed in FY 2017/18. A budget adjustment is not required and upon approval of this agenda item, the Commission will execute this fund transfer agreement with Caltrans.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SB 99 created the ATP focusing state and federal funds toward projects that improve public health and reduce greenhouse gases. The CTC is responsible for administering the program including the development of guidelines, which involves public input. Project categories for these funds mainly include pedestrian and bicycle facilities or programs that enhance or encourage walking and bicycling. ATP Cycle 3 began with the release of a call for projects on April 15, 2016. The call for projects included three categories of funding: Funding Category Amount Statewide Competitive (50%) $ 131,763,000 Small Urban and Rural Competitive (10%) 26,333,000 Large MPO Competitive (40%) 105,430,000 Total Available ATP Funds – Cycle 3 $ 263,526,000 167 Agenda Item 8 Applications were due to the CTC and Caltrans by June 15, 2016. The CTC received a total of 456 project applications requesting $976.8 million in ATP funds. Scoring of applications was managed by the CTC and involved the participation of various agencies including, but not limited to, regional transportation planning agencies, MPOs, Caltrans, councils of governments, county public health departments, and advocacy and interest groups such as Safe Routes to Schools, California Bicycle Coalition, and Rails to Trails. In total, Riverside County agencies submitted 26 projects requesting approximately $66.1 million of ATP funding in this cycle of funding. The ATP process allows applicants two rounds of opportunity to be awarded – statewide and MPO level. As part of the sequential project selection, projects are first evaluated statewide and those that are not ranked high enough for statewide funding are automatically provided a second opportunity for funding through the large MPO share. Applications were scored based on the following criteria: TOTAL POINTS STATEWIDE ATP SCORING CRITERIA 30 pts Potential for increased walking and bicycling 25 pts Potential for reducing the number and/or rate of bicycle/pedestrian fatalities and injuries 15 pts Public Participation and Planning 10 pts Improved Public Health 10 pts Benefit to Disadvantaged Communities 5 pts Cost-effectiveness 5 pts Leveraging of non-ATP funds 100 pts Total Points were also deducted if the applicant did not contact the California Conservation Corps or a Certified Community Conservation Corps for possible involvement with project implementation prior to submitting the application to Caltrans, and/or if the applicant’s performance on past CTC/Caltrans grants and deliverability of projects was not satisfactory. CTC/Caltrans Statewide Competitive Funding Recommendations On December 7, 2016, the CTC approved its project recommendations for the statewide competitive component, which included the following three projects from Riverside County: 168 Agenda Item 8 CTC/CALTRANS ATP PROJECT FUNDING FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY – STATEWIDE COMPETITION Agency Project ATP Request *DAC CTC Score City of Moreno Valley Juan Bautista De Anza Trail Gap Closure $2,849,000 X 94.0 City of La Quinta La Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project $7,313,000 X 90.0 City of Desert Hot Springs Palm Drive Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project $772,000 X 89.5 Riverside County Statewide Total $10,934,000 *DAC – Disadvantaged Community per CTC guidelines MPO Regional Program Recommendations The SCAG MPO ATP share is about $56 million for the six-county region and includes approximately $53.3 million for implementation projects and $2.8 million for planning and non-infrastructure activities. The $53.3 million for implementation projects is distributed by county based on population as follows: County Funding Amount Imperial $ 509,572 Los Angeles 28,785,330 Orange 8,950,017 Riverside 6,627,537 San Bernardino 6,011,091 Ventura 2,407,653 Total $ 53,291,200 ATP guidelines require that large MPOs, such as the SCAG, work with the county transportation commissions to develop its regional program recommendations. MPO ATP guidelines allow each county transportation commission to add up to 10 points to the CTC score for projects based on local criteria. At its May 2014 meeting, the Commission approved adding 10 points to projects consistent with adopted local and regional plans. All Riverside County projects, at a minimum, are consistent with the SCAG adopted 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. Adding 10 points to Riverside County project scores for the projects not recommended for the statewide competitive program results in the next highest scored projects that can be funded from Riverside County’s share of MPO funding: 169 Agenda Item 8 RIVERSIDE COUNTY MPO IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS Agency Project ATP Request Cumulative Total CTC Score/ RCTC Score Riverside County Dept. of Public Health Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program, Cabazon/Banning $500,000 $500,000 87.0/97.0 City of Jurupa Valley Pacific Ave SRTS & Road Diet $607,000 $1,107,000 86.0/96.0 *Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) CV Link $5,520,537 $6,627,537 85.5/95.5 *ATP requested amount was originally $24.307 million. SCAG Sustainability Planning Grant (SPG) Program The $2.8 million of the MPO ATP share that is set aside for planning and non-infrastructure activities was made available through a call for projects through the SCAG SPG program, which included other state and local funding sources for a total of about $9.0 million in the program. There were three projects from Riverside County that applied through Cycle 3 that were considered for funding through the SCAG SPG program. Those projects included: • City of Wildomar’s Active Transportation Plan, $300,000 • Riverside County Department of Public Health – Eastern Coachella Valley SRTS Program, $500,000 • Riverside County Department of Public Health – Lake Elsinore SRTS program, $500,000 As of the writing of this report, SCAG’s recommendations for the SPG program have not been approved. SCAG will be releasing project recommendations for the SPG Program prior to the January Commission meeting and the recommendations will be provided to the Commission. Next Steps Upon approval of the above recommendations for MPO ATP funding, staff will submit the projects to SCAG for inclusion in the MPO ATP Regional Program Cycle 3. Subsequently, SCAG will submit the MPO Regional Program projects to the CTC for final approval at the March 15, 2017 CTC meeting. Staff will work closely with project sponsors in preparing allocation funding requests and requests for obligating federal funds. Projects will also be required to be included in the FTIP. Staff will continue to participate in CTC/Caltrans working groups to further develop and improve the ATP guidelines and process, and participate in future evaluations of ATP project applications. 170 Agenda Item 8 Financial Impact ATP funds are administered through the CTC, Caltrans, and the Federal Highway Administration. The Commission is not a recipient of these MPO ATP funds; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the Commission’s budget.

AGENDA ITEM 9 Agenda Item 9 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 11, 2017 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Anne Mayer, Executive Director THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director SUBJECT: Local Transportation Fund Loan To SunLine Transit Agency STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to approve an advance of Local Transportation Fund (LTF) funds in the amount of $3 million to SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SunLine is requesting a loan in the amount of $3 million from the Coachella Valley Apportioned and Unallocated LTF Reserve Fund. The reason for the loan request is that SunLine delayed filing its Fiscal Year 2015/16 federal 5307 grant application. DISCUSSION: SunLine, along with all other public operators in Riverside County, must file a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) with the Commission as part of the Commission’s annual budget preparation process. The Commission typically approves the SRTPs in June of each year. Part of the funding plan for SunLine, as described in its annual SRTP, includes the programming of federal 5307 funds, which are used to augment LTF and passenger fares as an operating cash component. Staff was informed on December 21, 2016, that SunLine experienced a delay in filing for the FY 2015/16 federal 5307 funds and SunLine does not have the appropriate funds on hand to continue funding operations at the level approved in the SRTP. Staff was able to confirm SunLine did in fact miss the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) September 2016 deadline for filing the appropriate paperwork. Staff was also able to verify the grant application is currently filed with the FTA and it is going through the approval process. SunLine has been advised by the FTA it may have funds available by February 2017. Next Steps Short-term loans, while rare, have been approved in the past by the Commission. Staff recommends approval of this loan with the contingency that SunLine will reimburse the Commission’s Coachella Valley Apportioned and Unallocated LTF Reserve Fund within 14 days of receiving the federal 5307 funds from the FTA once SunLine has secured approval of the grant. 174 Agenda Item 9 A budget adjustment is not required and this loan does not have a fiscal impact to the Coachella Valley Apportioned and Unallocated LTF Reserve Fund. Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: N/A Year: FY 2016/17 Amount: $3,000,000 Source of Funds: Coachella Valley Apportioned and Unallocated LTF Reserve Fund Budget Adjustment: N/A GL/Project Accounting No.: 601-12301 (loans receivable) Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 12/29/2016 175 AGENDA ITEM 10 Agenda Item 10 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 11, 2016 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Jillian Guizado, Senior Legislative Affairs Analyst Aaron Hake, External Affairs Director THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: 2017 State and Federal Legislative Platform STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to adopt the Commission’s 2017 State and Federal Legislative Platform. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the beginning of every year, the Commission adopts a legislative platform that outlines the positions the Commission will take on various pieces of legislation, administrative policies, and regulations. The platform addresses broad themes that are critical in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. These platform points allow staff, Commissioners, and the Commission’s legislative advocates to communicate in a timely, effective manner with state and federal actors as issues arise. The 2017 proposed state and federal legislative platform follows closely with what the Commission adopted in previous years and includes a few items that have been added or adjusted to reflect policy issues that have arisen in the last year and are anticipated to be on the horizon for 2017.
