PUBLIC COMMENTS. There were no comments from the public. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - December 9, 1998. M/S/C Mullen/van Haaster) approve the minutes dated December 9, 1998 as submitted. RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 2 4. PRESENTATION ON SACRAMENTO ACTIVITIES D.J. Smith, RCTC's Sacramento lobbyist, briefed the Commissioners on changes in Sacramento. This is the first democratic administration on the executive side in sixteen years there is an incredible education orientation taking place. Appointment of the Transportation Committee in the Senate and the Assembly were made. Of all the members of those two committees, 60% of the membership have never served in the legislature or been on the committees previously. Both Policy Committee Chairmen have not chaired the committee before, they were both on Assembly Transit and Senate Transit in past years. He noted that there will be a total of five out of nine seats on the California Transportation Commission that will be appointed by the Governor. Some of the upcoming legislation on transportation include: 1) a Project Delivery Bill to be offered by the Chairman of the Assembly Transportation Committee. Currently, there are $1.6 billion is in the State Highway Account not being utilized. The bill would expedite project delivery and free up highway account cash by instituting a State Highway Account Loan Program, which would allow local agencies with cash flow to borrow funds for up to four years at the STIP escalation rate minus 1 % which will be very attractive and advance shelf and environmental ready projects. Local agencies must have cash flow in order to utilize this as there will be some penalties if local agencies are unable to make payments. In order to qualify, a local agency does not have to be a self-help county, it could be a locality building an interchange with available developer fees, redevelopment or any number of other local sources; 2) to consider extension of local option sales tax. Eighteen counties have local option sales tax and with the exception of Los Angeles County which does not have a sunset division, all of the other counties' measures sunset over the next ten years; 3) the Governor, Senator John Burton talked about developing a Transportation infrastructure Task Force, similar to Governor Deukmejian's 10 year blueprint, called Proposition 111, which doubled the gas tax on transportation improvement program. Unfortunately, well over half of the funding was spent on earthquake retrofit, not transportation improvements. Commissioner Alex Clifford asked what is D.J.'s assessment, the coming year or years relative to the north and south conflict (the Governor appointing San Francisco Mayor Brown's candidate for Caltrans Director). D.J. commented that Mayor Brown's issues are for Transbay Terminal out of downtown San Francisco to Treasure Island and retrofitting the Bay Bridge. To accommodate his issues would cost several hundred million dollars. The statute did not neaotiate a dollar cap on the Bay Bridae retrofit but rather the basic desian of the bridge would be split between the Highway Department and the toll revenues (the tolls doubled as a part of that compromise). Any additional work would need to be paid by toll. Bay Area residents will continue to pay double tolls longer if they add bicycle paths, add a light rail train, etc. In response to Commissioner Jim Smedley's question on the length of loans under the State Highway Loan Program and whether funds are tied in any way to the $1.6 billion, D.J. stated the loan would be no more than four years. D.J. explained that a minimum of $300 million must be kept in the State Highway Account to pay cash flow needs. The total amount limited is one half of a billion dollars. Eric Haley, Executive Director, added that the loans are secured by revenues of the Commission through the State Transportation Improvement Programing process, that is why it's a four year time frame. An RCTC project for the loan program would be the Route 74 project. Local projects would be secured by other sources of revenue, but RCTC is the responsible fiscal body paying back the debt. The Commission need to recognize that what is being committed for the loan program is its future revenues. If a default occurs on the payment, all the outstanding principal and interest plus RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 3 a penalty of 5% will be assessed against your county on the STIP the next time out. He noted that the proposal was created in the Inland Empire. Eric Haley noted that the Quarterly Reports distributed to the Commission included a number of charts and some data from the Self Help Counties Associations regarding the sales tax issue. The California Transportation Commission has embraced both the sales tax extension issue and loans. • On behalf of the Commission, Chairman Bob Buster thanked D.J. Smith for the presentation on Sacramento activities. 5. ADMINISTRATIVE/FINANCIAL ITEMS 5A1. Election of Officers. At this time, Chairman Buster expressed his gratitude to serve as the Commission's Chairman for the last two years where a number of changes and important issues took place. He iterated that the Commission need to concentrate in transportation efforts in areas that will help the greater number of the residents to have local jobs. There is a need to collect and develop data on the number of our residents job commuting to other counties for jobs. He sees that as one of RCTC's main challenge and priority. Commissioner Tom Mullen stated that the a city commissioner and county commissioner rotate on the Chair and Vice Chair position. He raised a proposal whereby city commissioners elect the city officer and the county commissioners elect the county officer. It was determined by the membership that this be addressed at a later time. M/S/C lRoberts/ReeserLowei to nominate•.pommissioner Jack van Haaster for Chairman. Commissioner Jack van Haaster was elected as Chairman by a vote of 21 ayes, and 4 nays. Four commissioners were not present. Commissioner van Haaster then assumed the Chair. M/S/C (Puga/ReeserLowe) to nominate Tom Mullen as Vice Chairman. Commissioner Mullen was unanimously elected as RCTC's Vice Chairman. 5A2. RCTC Executive Committee Appointment. Eric Haley stated that the Executive Committee is comprised of the Chair, a representative from the Cities of Riverside, Corona and Moreno Valley, a representative from the Cities of Banning, Beaumont, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Norco, Perris, San Jacinto and Temecula, a representative from the Cities of Blythe, Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage, andthree representatives from the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors has appointed Commissioners Tom Mullen, John Tavaglione, and Jim Venable to the Executive Committee. RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 4 The Commission adjourned for five minutes to allow the groups to select their representatives. The meeting resumed and Chairman van Haaster announced that the Executive Committee is composed of the Chair and Commissioners Alex Clifford; Ron Roberts, Dick Kelly, Tom Mullen, John Tavaglione, and Jim Venable. Chairman van Haaster took the opportunity to thank Commissioner Bob Buster for the wonderful job that he has done as Chair for two years especially his efforts during the transitional year and at a time when there were a number of tough issues that had to be negotiated. 5A3. RCTC Representation and Appointment/Reappointment to Various Agency Boards and Committees. The following appointments were made by the Chair: Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Clifford, Kleindienst, Roberts -Alt, Puga-Alt) High Speed Rail Ad Hoc Task Force (Clifford, Roberts, Puga, Landers, Venable, Bourbonnais, Silva) Southern California Intercity Rail (Clifford, Kleindienst-Alt) Regional Transp Agencies Consortium (Mullen) Riverside Transportation Financing Authority (Mullen, Pape) SCAG Regional Council (Lowe) Mobile Source Review Committee (Kleindienst, West -Alt) SCAG Transportation & Communications Committee (Lowe, Pettis -Alt) Toll Road Ad Hoc Committee (Buster, Clifford, Hall, Kelly, Mullen, Puga, Roberts, Tavaglione) Four Corners Policy Coordination Group (Tavaglione, Smedley, Landers) Investment Advisor Ad Hoc (Mullen, Hunt, Kleindienst) Local Government & Small Business Advisory (Chlebnik) 5A4. Upcoming 1999 Conferences/Workshops. M/S/C (Pettis/Kelly) approve to approve Conference list as amended. 5A5. Call for Projects for El Nino, Rehabilitation and Arterial Improvement Program. Hideo Sugita, Director of Planning and Programming, informed the Commissioners that January 8th at 5:00 p.m. was the deadline for submittal of projects for the $15 million Call for Projects. Eighteen local agencies submitted a total of 44 projects, with a total value of approximately $129 million. The projects will be reviewed this afternoon. 5A6. Executive Director/Commissioners Report. Eric Haley reported on the following: 1) A movement in some corners to delay the State Transportation Improvement Program because of new appointments of Cabinet Secretary and Caltrans Director. The movement in the administration to delay could go beyond sixty to ninety days and bump ,us into next year. He requested Commission approval to strongly advocate a continuance of the regional program so that we can take a look at the $94 million worth of projects, make those decisions and then move forward the $30 million plus for the larger Measure "A" programs. Unless there was objection he would follow that forward. It RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 5 would override local policies that have already been implemented and the decision making processes that are well on their way. It also helps balloon the cash balance that is a drag on the system; 2) Discussion by Commissioner John Tavaglione and staff with San Bernardino regarding Sierra inter -county corridor - connections east -west between the growing Fontana, Rialto, Ontario area and West Riverside, Glen Avon, Pedley. The study area was defined and includes Sierra Avenue, Pirite and Mulberry, a major thoroughfare in San Bernardino County. SANBAG, with the City of Fontana, has committed to finance half of the study effort which is a year term study completed by June, not to exceed $100,000 will provide the basis for a new corridor decision. No construction funds are committed at this point. He requested direction on whether to move forward as we are at a point where a scope of work could be negotiated. Commissioner Robin Reeser Lowe stated that with regards to the movement to delay the STIP, she and Commissioner Dick Kelly were in Sacramento last week. The cities that were present from the League also voiced concern about the delay. M/S/C (MullenNenable) to authorize Commissioner John Tavaglione and the Executive Director to move forward on the Riverside/San Bernardino intercounty corridor. Eric Haley continued his report and said that RCTC was successful in gaining initial planning money through the PSR (Project Study Report) on the Colton Crossing in the Colton area. This is a flyover that eliminates the service level conflict between BNSF and UP railroads as they go through Colton. This project would also resolve several issues involving rail congestion as well as continuing problems through the City of Riverside and Colton. Additional funds are needed. Under the MetroLink Advocacy Program, $5 million is requested from the State for engineering and design work. Commissioner Buster asked if it would be appropriate,to have a subcommittee to deal with the Colton Crossing issue. M/S/C (Mullen/Buster) to appoint Commissioners Clifford, Mullen, Puga, Leja, and Buster to the Colton CrossingSubcommittee. Eric Haley reported on a meeting of the Ad Hoc Route 91 Toll Road Committee (Commissioners Kelly, Clifford, Puga, van Haaster, Tavaglione, Mullen, Buster) held with OCTA and NewTrak yesterday. Representatives of NewTrak are hoping to acquire the 91 Toll facility. He noted that Jim Guthrie, one of NewT►ak's Directors is present today. RCTC presented its view of the history and dysfunction of the state/CPTC (California Private Transportation Company) and explained its position on the franchise and its inability to make improvements Route 91 for its commuters as follows: 1) status quo acceptance - which gives RCTC no standing in any of the decision making bodies that govern this toll road and waiting 32 years until the franchise ends; 2) re-engage a legislative and legal challenge to the toll facility, which is a long shot and very expensive; 3) purchase the toll road in conjunction with an Orange County agency or agencies through a joint powers authority which will provide control but the downside is considerable liability and is opposed by the Orange County Transportation Authority as they do not want to be in the business of operating a toll road; and, 4) proposal by NewTrak to acquire the franchise. The key issue facing NewTrak is financing but with a non-profit status, they can save between 300-400 basis points in their financing. If that was to happen, they feel there will be some net available revenue, net available revenue gain by the lower financing against the tolls that are paid which could be RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 6 a substantial amount of funds. NewTrak is requesting RCTC's support for the non-profit status. The proposal is that RCTC draft a letter supporting non-profit status consideration to the IRS indicating that there is a public benefit in moving from the current environment to a non-profit operation of the toll road. By doing so, NewTrak has committed that upon completing the transaction, their first action will be to lift any tolls on the 3 + HOVs which will benefit a number of Riverside County residents. NewTrak will give RCTC advanced notification of any transaction that takes place and this is extremely important because RCTC has no fall back positions. Another important issue is a creation of a capital improvement projects committee which will deal with the disposition of the available revenues. NewTrak proposed that the Committee consist of two commissioners each from RCTC and OCTA, and two NewTrak Directors of which one would be a resident of Riverside County and one in Orange County. The proposal would be to use funds to improve and identify connectors connecting Route 71 with the toll lanes, providing direct connection between the toll lanes and the new eastern corridor, increasing MetroLink service in the corridor. Any recommendation should clearly indicate that we are not endorsing the ultimate deal, but commit in writing that there is a perceived public benefit changing the ownership from what it is today to what it would be and to move forward in the next two weeks to wrap up a description and bring it back to the Commission on how the capital improvement committee would work and define excess revenues. The recommendation from Ad Hoc Committee was to endorse the tax exempt status request, holding open all of the rest of RCTC's options, to publicly acknowledge the offer of the lifting the tolls for 3 + HOVs and the creation of an investment committee. Commissioner Buster stated that these are all verbal promises, nothing in writing, and there are no assurances especially when there are changes in the composition of the group in the future. However, the proposal is much better than with CPTC. There are no information on what is being paid as premium for the toll road, estimate of funds leftover for other projects, etc. In response to Commissioner Lowe's question relating to the financial status of CPTC, Eric Haley said that it is difficult to determine if they are financially hemorrhaging. Payments are being made and they have a significant investment in the facility. It appears that much of this is motivated by a change of business interest in one of the major corporations and that is the pressure to make the deal. There is also a risk that at the current interest rate environment they could refinance their junk bonds at least at a couple hundred basis point less, and if they went out we would simply have nothing. He noted that OCTA, in this particular circumstance, has a common interest with RCTC. They would be the joint beneficiaries of any excess revenues that came out of the process. The profits from this non-profit would go into that Capital Improvement Committee. Their interest is in maximizing the amount of funds. In this case, this is not an OCTA/RCTC conflict in any way. In response to Commissioner Jim Smedley's statement that this is such an important item but it would seem that it deserves to be agendized for a discussion by the Commission rather than as part of the Executive Director's report, Eric Haley indicated that the meeting was held yesterday and was uncertain as to the outcome of the meeting. Commissioner Kevin Pape iterated the need to have additional information from NewTrak as it is difficult to make a determination with having those facts. RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 7 Commissioner Andrea Puga stated that at the Ad Hoc meeting, there was a lot of hesitation about the perception. Information such as financial reports were not available but it is a good idea, we need to move forward and get started. She was convinced that NewTrak were very honest and straight forward. Commissioner John Chlebnik stated that in an application for tax exempt status, an organization has to submit its bylaws and budget. Steve DeBaun stated that he has reviewed NewTrak's bylaws and, at this point, they are basic. Our approach has been to draft changes to the bylaws which would incorporate the deal points discussed such as free for 3 + HOVs, the excess revenues or profits available for the county projects and the like. A copy of their budget was not provided although he thinks that there is not much associated with it because they do not have the numbers. But that is something we can ask for. Commissioner Percy Byrd asked what are the consequences if RCTC decides that it cannot support the proposal and Eric Haley explained that RCTC do not went to operate it, own it or want any liability from it. We want to improve our current circumstance. It would be good to have an agreement, with the deal points that have been previously discussed. Commissioner John Tavaglione stated that he participated in the meeting and, as Supervisor Buster mentioned , the toll road as it stands today would appear to be a project that has failed. However, there is no proof of that. As it stands today, RCTC and OCTA have no say in what happens on that road. Commuters of both Riverside and Orange Counties are impacted. The proposal is grey, but it does provide RCTC some say in what occurs. if we let this relationship continue, or if there are no relationship between the two counties and CPTC, the problems in both counties will continue to get worse. He sees this as an opportunity and the only option for exploratory purposes at this point. He supports the non- profit status. Commissioner Alex Clifford stated that conceptually the idea of a non-profit taking over the operation is a good concept. He has every bit of confidence of what the NewTrak members had indicated that they intend to fulfill. But that confidence needs to be boosted by in writing. He is not comfortable going forward with a proposal endorsing non-profit status simply because. If RCTC signs a letter agreeing to a non-profit status, and once they obtain non-profit status they are an entity in their own right. They will no longer have to deal with RCTC and there will be nothing in writing to mandate that the deal points. My argument for needing something in writing to feel comfortable going forward is really based on historical perspective. He had every bit of confidence in 1989-91 that Orange County was going to fulfill their promise in providing free flow through this bottleneck. It was a promise that they made to their voters in their measure, that confidence wasn't justified. As we found out later on, Orange County decided their priorities were elsewhere. They decided to resolve that commuter bottleneck issue, by putting a toll road into place. Back in 1991, RCTC was faced with a dilemma whether to file a lawsuit to stop the toll road from taking place or sit on the sideline. On a very narrow vote, it was decided that a lawsuit would have been a long action and probably not prevail. And maybe the best thing to do was to sign a Memorandum of Understanding to try to come to an agreement. RCTC had ail the confidence that CPTC would fulfill the things that they showed in their franchise agreement with Caltrans. They decided to eliminate the intermediate access points which made this a Riverside County toll road. RCTC filed a suit and it lost. He has raised this only to elevate your conscience on the RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 8 issue of getting the deal points in writing. By just stating the things that we think will benefit Riverside/Orange County. Maybe more importantly what will the CPTC profit be. If the ultimate proposal is to use tax exempt financing and buy out CPTC we are potentially using tax exempt money to provide a profit to CPTC. Once a non-profit status is obtained, they are on their own to decide what that profit will be. RCTC needs to be in a position to say that is unreasonable, what is wrong expenditure of public financing or what is reasonable. Otherwise the proposal potentially endorsed today could come back and haunt us as an endorsement of this transfer proposal. Jim Guthrie, NewTrak Director, stated that for them to get involved was very simple. CPTC has a 35 year contract and debt service with a fairly high interest rate. NewTrak will come in to refinance at 300-500 basis points cheaper. He believes that they have reached their break-even point for the first time in the franchise. By lowering the debt payment, NewTrak has the ability to generate excess funds. They are trying to negotiate something that the do not even know what they are negotiating because they do not have a dollar figure. They have a group of people that are in for the benefit of the corridor rather than for the benefit of a profit. They are trying to figure out what the price would be, what the excess revenue would be and will probably not know until another five or six months. Their projections were made purely on projections - they have apparently been getting closer to meeting those projections. The price will be based on real numbers. NewTrak has two problems, one is the perception that CPTC will walk away with somewhere about $75-$100 million profit. They met with FasTrak and told them that is not going to happen. They are willing to sit down and look at what we feel is reasonable. The other thing that they are finding out the problem between Orange and Riverside Counties and they think this goes a long way to bringing the two bodies together to mutually benefit both counties by supporting their non-profit status. He has had 30 years history of public service and would like to take this and make it into a better situation. Commissioner Dick Kelly stated that he sees this as an opportunity to build a better relationship with the bordering county. He reiterated his concern about the inability to use the Route 91 tollroad without a FasTrak card and should be like the Eastern Corridor tollroad where users could either use a card or pay in cash. He agreed to move ahead and write the letter of support for the non-profit status for NewTrak. Commissioner Will Kleindienst expressed that, at the Commission, most of the work will be done at committee levels. The current Ad Hoc Committee of nine members dealt with this issue yesterday and he has heard the Executive Director's report with the recommendation of that committee. He cautioned the Commissioners that if every issue that comes before this Commission is taken apart, as was done with this issue, and not speak to the recommendation of the committee, RCTC will find itself at a pointwhere it cannot continue. He suggested that the Commission address the Committee's recommendation and any amendment to the recommendation. What is being done now is taking apart the entire issue and if there is not a confidence in its Committee structure at the first meeting, RCTC will find it will move through the process very slowly. The recommendation is quite clear and he appreciated the amendment regarding the bylaws. He suggest that the Commissioners come to closure on this. RCTC Minutes January 13, 1999 Page 9 M/S/C (Puga/Mullen) to authorize the Route 91 Ad Hoc Committee, working with the Executive Director and Legal Counsel, to negotiate on the deaf points and after receiving full assurance, send a letter of support to IRS for a non-profit status for NewTrak.

The Commission's Budget and Implementation Committee meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 3:00 p.m. The Coachella Valley Associated Governments' (CVAG) Executive Board meeting is scheduled on the last Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Commissioners who are members of the Budget and Implementation Committee and the CVAG Executive Board do not have sufficient time to travel from Riverside to Palm Desert and arrive on time for the CVAG Executive Board meeting. To remedy the problem, it is recommended that the Budget and Implementation Committee meeting time be scheduled one half hour earlier ( at 2:30 p.m.). By doing so, the Commission's Plans and Programs Committee meeting (that meets on the same day starting at 12 Noon) must be completed by 2:15 p.m. and staff does not see this as a problem. The attached Ordinance No. 99-02 will amend the Administrative Code to reflect the change in the Budget and Implementation Committee meeting time. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDA LION.• That the Commission approve Ordinance No. 99-02, Ordinance of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Amending the Administrative Code. nk (Hi 00O;. ORDINANCE NO. 99-02 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION'S ADMINISTRATIVE CODE WHEREAS, by Ordinance 93-003, the Riverside County Transportation Commission has enacted Administrative Code; and WHEREAS, by Ordinance Nos. 94-001, 94-002, 95-001, 95-002, 98-002, and 99-01, the Riverside County Transportation Commission has amended its Administrative Code; and WHEREAS, the Commission has determined that it is now necessary to amend again its Administrative Code to change the time in which the Budget and Implementation Committee meetings are to be held. NOW, THEREFORE, the Riverside County Transportation Commission hereby ordains as follows: Section 1: Article III, Section H(1)(a) of the Administrative Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 1. The following Committees of the Commission are hereby created: (a) The Budget and Implementation Committee: This Committee shall be composed of fourteen regular members of the Commission selected by the Chair to provide adequate representation from the western and desert areas of the County. Subject to supervision by the Commission, the jurisdiction of the Committee shall be as follows: annual budget development and oversight; countywide strategic plan; legislation; Measure implementation and capital programs; public communications and outreach programs; competitve grant programs; TEA 21 (CMAQ & STP); and other areas as may be prescribed by the Commission. Meetings shall be held at 2:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month at the offices of the Commission, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Commission. UUO00 Section 2: This ordinance shall be effective on February 10, 1999. APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of February, 1999. ATTEST: Naty Kopenhaver, Clerk of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Jack F. van Haaster, Chairman Riverside County Transportation Commission 000003 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Executive Committee Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Proposal Not to Schedule An RCTC Meeting in August There are a number of local agencies in Riverside County that do not schedule meetings during the month of August. The purpose for RCTC staff recommending going dark in August is threefold: 1) Commissioners who plan on a vacation in August will not miss a Commission meeting; 2) It allows staff to take vacation time; and, 2) It allows staff to catch up on their work. The Commission, by not having a meeting on August 1 1 t, will not schedule a meeting of the Plans/Programs and Budget/Implementation Committees on July 26t. If the Commission approves the proposal, staff will review and adjust their schedule so that agenda items are presented to the appropriate Committee without affecting any of its programs and projects. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve the proposal to cancel RCTC's Committee meetings on July 26 and the Commission meeting in August 11. nk UUOOU4 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: TO: February 10, 1999 Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: SUBJECT: Executive Committee Eric Haley, Executive Director Authority for Executive Director to Budget $10,000 for Casual Employees for FY 1998/99 The Commission's Personnel Policies and Procedures, approved December 9, 1998, included a Casual Employee Category. This is to allow the Executive Director to hire casual employees in a variety of job categories to fill short term jobs, to manage periods of heavy workload, to cover transitional periods caused by a position vacancy or to assist in special train events. Casual employees are employees who work in a non -budgeted position on an as needed basis, generally for less than six months (not more than 1039 hours for the year) and who are paid an hourly rate. When hiring a casual employee, the duties of the position, hours worked, rate of pay, and the expected period of employment will be made clear. Benefits eligibility for casuals is limited, as appropriate, to state mandated benefits, such as workers' compensation. A casual employee's employment does not carry with it the guarantee of a full week's work and is not deemed to have continuity of service with RCTC. Casual employees applying for a regular position will be required to go through the recruitment process. I would like to propose that the Commission authorize the Executive Director to budget $10,000 for the remainder of the FY 98-99. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the Executive Director to budget $10,000 to hire casual employees to assist with staff workload. nk U0000 uu5 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: TO: February 10, 1999 Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans and Programs Committee Susan Cornelison, Rail Program Manager THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Priority Rail Projects for California STIP and Federal Program Background: With the anticipated amendment, or augmentation, to the 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the five Metrolink county partners and the seven county agencies which comprise the Intercity Rail Group have studied needs and developed lists of the most critical rail capital projects needed for system growth, reliability and coordination of services. The lists in Attachments I and II reflect the priorities adopted by each of those two governing boards, for inclusion in the State's Interregional Program of rail projects. Staff is recommending that the Commission endorse these priority lists. And, as RCTC has particular interest in three of the projects listed, staff further recommends that the Commission actively advocate for STIP funding of the following: - Track Improvements at Bandini (located in L.A. County; system wide benefit). - Metrolink Rolling Stock (system wide benefit). • - Colton Junction (located in San Bernardino Co.; benefit to Inland Empire Line). The Metrolink Board has also adopted a list of projects for which it will seek federal funding and is asking RCTC's endorsement of this list as well. (See attachment 1111 PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission: 1) Endorse the priority project lists developed by Metrolink and the Southern California Intercity Rail Group and actively advocate for STIP funding of the particular rail capital projects listed above; and 2) Recommend RCTC's endorsement of Metrolink's federal funding request as listed in Attachment III.

Attachment I SCRRA INTERREGION PROJECTS PROPOSED FOR THE 1998 STIP AMENDMENT - REVISED 12/9/93 The first sin seven projects in SCRRA proposed list for funding in the 1998 STIP Amendment total $2.1434 S28.555 million. These are the projects staff recommends for endorsement by the Member Agencies. It should be noted that for all the projects listed below, in some way, benefit accrues net only to the line on which the project is located, but to the entire Metrolink system. Each Metrolink equipment set does not remain on one line, but during each day is cycled through to other lines. Thus, in increasing flexibility and reliability on one line, the project will also benefit all other Metrolink lines. In addition for example, projects located north of Los Angeles, such as a new crossover, will not only benefit Amtrak and Metrolink service north of Los Angeles, but will improve service south of Los Angeles, as a late train north of Los Angeles will not be able to maintain its schedule going south. 1. Three Miles Of?riole Track At Banta' 57.08 million This project is located in the City of Commerce and would build three miles of triple track between Fullerton and Los Angeles Union Station at Bandiai starting at the currently proposed end of BNSF four track main line. It will provide an improvement which is essential if Metrolink and Amtrak are to increase the number of trans running in this corridor. The project total cost is S12 million: a 15% . contribution is assumed from BNSF and a 2S% contribution from Amtrak. The project is located on the LOSSAN Corridor between San Diego and Los Angeles. This corridor is the second busiest in the United States. it is also located on Metrolink's Riverside to Los Angeles via Fullerton Line which is proposed to open FY 2002/03. This section of the corridor is very active: each day there are 21 Amtrak Intercity trains, 22 commuter rail trips and over 41 freight trips. Metrolink ridership on the Orange County Line has grown to over 5,000 daily trips. The corridor is now entirely owned by public agencies accept the 2S-mile section between downtown Los Angeles and Fullerton. This segment of the corridor is owned by the Burlington Northern -Santa Fe Railroad Each Metrolink equipment set does not remain on one line, but duringeach day is cycled through to other lines. Thus, in increasing flexibility and reliability on the Orange County and Riverside to Los Angeles via Fullerton lines, the project will also benefit all other Metrolink lines. The project will also benefit Amuck service not only between San Diego and Los Angeles. but also north of Los Angeles, since a late Amtrak train south of Los Angeles cannot maintain its schedule north of Los Angeles to Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo. Lastly. the project will benefit BNSF since it will permit better control of freight train movements as they go into and out of the Alameda Corridor which will soon be under construction. 000308 Attachment I 2. Ingie Crossover tretween Vans Nuvuinigsvmq S.75 miIIion This project would provide a single crossover between the Van Nuys Station and CP Raymsr, 2 miles west of the Van Nuys Station on the Ventura Line. This segment is double track, but there is currently only a full length passenger platform on one track and there is nowhere for trails to cross from one track to the other and allow trains to pass near the station. The project will increase flexibility and reliability for commuter, Amtrak Intercity and freight trains using this corridor since Men+oiink dispatchers will be able to move UP freight traffic in and ottt of UP's GEMCO Yard and still maintain a high level of passenger rail traffic. Through this section of the corridor, there are 10 Amtrak Intercity trains, 18 commuter rail trips and over 12 freight trips daily. The project total cost is S 1 million and a 25% contribution from Amtrak is assumed. 3 e Ti V $L6 million This project will provide for new and/or upgraded passenger rail ticket vending machines (TVMs) at Metrolink and Amtrak stations. The project benefits the entire Metrolink system, Amtrak Intercity service and has the potential to benefit other transit providers in the region. These new machines will be able to vend either Metrolink. Amtrak, and Coaster errs, The machines will also have the potential to sell bus tickets. This means that fewer total capital costs for ticketing machines are needed and servicing costs are lowered and mod. The new machines will be able to vend different types of tickets. For example, they will not only vend tickets for a regular one-way, round-trip, 10-trip, or monthly pass for adult, student, handicapped, or off-peak {are, they will also allow someone to bury a ticket for a future dote and several different types of tickets at once. They will vend interline tickets and be able to allocate the money collected to the different operators. For example, a person will be able to buy a single ticker allowing the user to travel from Riverside using Metrolink, then transfer to Amtrak to Santa Barbara, then return home —and do this so that both Metrolink and Armtek get their share of the ticket price. Similarly, commuters could purchase joint Metrolink and Coaster tickets transferring at Oceanside. This makes the entire passenger rail network in Southern California much more useable to many. many more travelers. Finally, the SB 457 study on ways to save operating costs in the Sea Diegan Corridor determined that one of the most productive cost saving measures is to introduce TVMs for intercity Rail passengers, Savings come about by eliminating, over and as worlcead out with the union, time, least the number of hours an agent needs to be is at lesser -used Amtrak stations, or at stations on the Sari D' present. � addition, almost Half of the staticticketto be cBan route are =staffed and the machines would allow Amtrak Purchased at these stations or when stations are closed. 000009 oToonn - quasi a ur iulsm° uoslo, arg yana np 2sossad suts u t say yadusije pup sumo or sl y yuryoflahr `suts4 or ado saw 4in tum4 ;noels nu .i.S E 17sa9 41W a uo djpua an, sun uotiallnd + saAlW so?-apprattig ay1 uo aopuas uoppairp Pad aiwyrjoW Alipua aurl (d111:P a+R tro4Ppdiro puv 4111gmlu asaa cni!

This effort, known as "GasRail USA," has also been supported by a number of other sources, including the California Air Resources Board. The research resulted in successful test firings last year, with the next step being the manufacture of a prototype locomotive to be deployed on Metrolink routes for demonstration service. The necessary resources had been committed to complete the project, but last fall the Congressional appropriation process moved $1 million from this effort to another rail project. Metrolink counties must make up the funding shortfall or lose this opportunity to build a clean -fuel locomotive. The logical source of funding is the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program, available in each county. Some of the other counties have already begun their CMAQ call for projects and are submitting the locomotive construction for funding. RCTC's adopted commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan calls for the eventual retrofit or replacement of Metrolink diesel locomotives to LNG over the next several years, utilizing federal Section 5307 rail capital funds. A successful demonstration is necessary before that effort can begin. So that the development and manufacturing process can proceed on schedule, staff is asking that the Commission commit to an advance set -aside of CMAQ funds for RCTC's share, in an amount not -to -exceed $300,000. 000016' If approved, will be included in FY 2000 Budget PLANS & PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission set aside up to $300,000 of CMAQ funds to cover RCTC's share of costs for manufacturing a prototype LNG -fueled locomotive.

Both the Riverside Transit Agency and Family Service Association of Western Riverside County have been operating in the area for a number of years serving seniors and persons with disabilities. In July 1998, the Riverside Transit Agency expanded their service level with the operation of an additional van in the Jurupa/Rubidoux area. When the Commission was making its allocations of Measure A Specialized Transit operating funds for FY 1999 and FY 2000, it questioned whether Family Services needed to receive its previous level of funding support in light of the expanded service levels to be provided by RTA. Commission actions have approved funding for two vehicles through the end of February 1999, with this dropping to support the operation of one van for the balance of FY99 and all of FY 2000. The Commission required that both RTA and Family Services submit ridership and cost information to assist staff in the determination of appropriate service and funding levels for the balance of the programming term. Earlier Commission action also directed that a detailed review of all specialized transit in the Western Riverside County be conducted to determine the effectiveness of our current Measure A program and to provide input to the Commission on whether current service levels were appropriate or whether service duplication was occurring. The Commission has secured a consultant with considerable experience in specialized transit programs to conduct this Specialized Transit Analysis. The consultants are in the process of doing a thorough field review of all the non-profit transit providers receiving Measure A funds, including Family Service Association. Additionally, an on- board survey will be conducted on all the dial -a -rides in early February, including the RTA Jurupa Dial -A -Ride and Family Service, to obtain rider feedback on the efficiency and effectiveness of the services. A community survey will also be conducted during the same timeframe to receive input on unmet needs of non -users. Due to the careful analysis that is underway by our consultants it appears that it would be premature to make changes to the service level of Family Service 0000 9 Association at this time. The results of the surveys will be compiled by the end of February, with the completion of the full study ready for Commission consideration in March/April. Staff is recommending that a status quo service level be continued for Family Service Association until the results of the full analysis are complete. The cost to support the operation of the second vehicle is $4,375 per month. Sufficient funds are available in the Specialized Transit budget to cover this cost.

Recent Incidents Saturday January 16, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Metrolink train 295 (the third southbound train from Lancaster to Los Angeles) struck a pickup truck stopped on the tracks at the San Fernando Road highway -rail grade crossing in Newhall. Witnesses reported seeing the driver stop his truck on the tracks as the gates lowered and not moving while the train approached. The engineer sounded the horn and applied maximum possible braking but was unable to stop the train in time. The vehicle was struck and spun around the side of the train damaging the engine and two passenger cars. The vehicle also struck and uprooted the foundation of the crossing arm mechanism, toppling the crossing mechanism mast. The 83 year old driver died that evening at a local hospital. The damage to the train prevented it from leaving the scene under its own poorer. There were no reported injuries to passengers or crew. SCRRA, Amtrak and MetroIink Sheriff's Deputies responded to the scene. Bus transportation was provided to passengers on train 295. The damaged train was pulled to the Central Maintenance Facility for repairs. Monday, at approximately, 9:20 a.m., Amtrak train 773 (southbound train from Los Angeles to San Diego) struck a pedestrian walking on the tracks in the San Clemente. The pedestrian was reported walking on the tracks wearing headphones as the train approached. The individual was 700 S.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Bus Substitution for Saturday Lancaster Trains for Rail Installation This phase of the C-3022 contract will conclude next Saturday, however additional bus service will be used to replace train service later in the winter and spring. These future substitutions will be required for replacement of wood ties with concrete on sharp curves and for installation of track switches. Generally, the quality of the substitute bus service depends upon highway conditions (we have encountered weekend Caltrans work on Highway 14 that slowed the bus traffic) and coordination at stations. To improve coordination, ambassadors have been assigned to stations and an additional supervisor has been assigned to the dispatcher's office for the days when bus service is substituted. OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT Overall, this was an excellent week for operations. All regular trains arrived at the final terminal within 20 minutes of schedule. Staff continues to work with the Burlington Northern / Santa Fe to resolve on -time performance issues on the Inland Empire Orange County trains. A revised San Bernardino line schedule will be implemented on February 1, to improve the operation of the midday San Bernardino trains. At the same time, the schedules for the Riverside via Fullerton morning trains will be revised to improve the connections with the last Riverside and inland Empire peak trains. Antelope Valley Line: On Saturday, the afternoon train from Lancaster was terminated at Santa Clarita due to a grade crossing incident mentioned previously. UUG053 FROM: " •eiMETROLINK.

On Saturday, the Union Pacific moved the dispatching of the Riverside Line from Omaha to Colton. This is a long awaited, welcome move and will assist us in monitoring the service. Antelope Valley Line: The week's major incident was the closure of the Antelope Valley Line on Wednesday afternoon, due to a construction accident near the tracks. This was the incident where the worker was stuck in a trench for over eight hours. The railroad was closed from approximately 4:00 p.m. to 11: 40 p.m. All service was canceled and 17 buses were called to transport passengers. A great job by the Transportation Coordinators at CCF for creating a massive bus bridge without notice. The train sets were combined and deadheaded to Lancaster for Thursday morning service. The fourth peak -period train Thursday morning was delayed 59 itrinutes between Sylmar/San Fernando and Burbank, due to a bicyclist striking the train. The person was transported to a local hospital. This delay cascaded to the fifth peak -period train, which was delayed 43 minutes, and the second morning train to Via Princessa, which was delayed 61 minutes. San Bernardino Line: The first train from Los Angeles to San Bernardino on Wednesday morning, departed 28 minutes late due to a cascade delay from the first Riverside peak -period train, which was delayed 24 minutes at Riverside due to Union Pacific freight interference. Inland Em ire - Oran a County Line: The second, third and fourth trains from Orange County to San Bernardino on Thursda afternoon were delayed between 21 minutes and 35 minutes at the Colton crossin y located between Riverside and San Bernardino.) The delay was due to a Burlington N �s e Santa Fe track problem in the area. . Northern/ U2. vJ [ 700 S.

Weekly Progress: Week of January 18 - 23 January 25, 1999, • Page 2 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Rail A' Coming As part of the capital maintenance of the system, we grind the running surface of the rail on an annual basis. This controls the wear pattern of the rail and wheels, and reduces the likelihood of forming surface defects in the rail. This service is performed under contract by Pandrol-Jackson using a large unit that resembles a small freight train. It will pass over all Iines beginning next Monday, February 1, beginning on the San Bernardino Line, then doing the Ventura, Valley, River, and Orange County lines, in that order. The work will be done at night to avoid train interference and will take about seven working days. The noise will be comparable to that of a slow freight train and it will make sparks as the grinding wheels bear against the rail. We have begun a process of notifying all of the communities along the line to expect this activity. Brighton Siding New Rail Last weekend the supplementary maintenance contractor installed half of the new rail in this siding, located in Burbank. Next weekend the rest of the rail will be installed. Following some surfacing work, we will increase the speed in the siding, which is used by several Santa Clarita trains each day. Newhall Siding Grading for this siding is complete enough that construction of the track will begin late this week. New Rail in Saugus Canyon, Santa Clarita The contractor is completing rail installation north of Via Princessa, and will soon begin work closer to Santa Clarity This work will require substitution of bus service for the mid -day Lancaster trains, numbers 205/212. Ventura Line Speed Adjustments Following the capital maintenance work, speeds will be increased at several locations between Chatsworth and Moorpark, by 5 to 10 MPH, effective February 1. �u0JS5 tl rrancisco Oaxica,Mctrolink cim (213) 452-02S5 tnciaent Report 0448200 i�:i�l METROLWIG January 21, 1999 Southern California Regional Rail Authority 700 South Flower Street, 26th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90017-4101 MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD MEMBERS AND ALTERNATES FROM: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Z.S. FAX TRANSMITTAL SUBJ: ANTELOPE VALLEY TRAIN DELAYS AND TRESPASSER INCIDENT Yesterday, at approximately 3:30 p.m, a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) con- tractor employee and two DWP employees fell into a 30 foot deep trench adjacent to Metrolink tracks in Pacoima. They were standing near the edge of the trench when it collapsed The contrac- tor employee was burled nearly completely while the DWP employees were able to escape quickly with the help of other workers at the site. Due to the proximity of the trench to the tracks, Los ngeles City Fire Department officials closed the Antelope Valley Line tracks to minimize vibration am passing trains. The tracks were closed until the worker was removed from the trench at 11:41 p.m. Five northbound, peak hour Antelope Valley Line trains were terminated at Burbank and one train was annulled. 17 buses were used to transport passengers around the rescue site. This morning, at approximately 8:05 a.m., a cyclist struck the side of Antelope Valley Line Metrolink tram 206 (the fourth sorthbound train from Lancaster). The incident took place at the Van Nuys Boulevard crossing in Pacoima. The cyclist was transported to a local hospital for treatment. There were no reported injuries to passengers or crew. SCRRA, Amtrak and Metrolink Sheriff's Deputies responded to the scene. Train 206 was delayed about I hour and following train 208 was delayed 30 minutes. North- bound train 203 was also delayed 60 minutes. cc: TAC Members SCRRA Directors SCRRA Staff 000056 rai:r u.

But where there has been a significant improvement on the Riverside -to -Los Angeles line, there are still some westbound trains that arrive late half the time. "In general, the Riverside line is better than it was five to eight months ago," said Executive Director David Solow. "We are trying to use as many trains as efficiently as we can during peak periods. The trains coming in to Los Angeles come in on the Union Pacific (Railroad} line and then go out the (Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway) line." It's those empty trains going from Los Angeles to Riverside on the BNSF line where the delays occur, causing a domino effect on the later morning trains. Train 409 out of Riverside bears the brunt of those return trip delays. Scheduled to leave Riverside at 8:28 a.m., with an 8:48 a.m. stop at the east Ontario station, it runs late more than half the time due to other trains on the line, Metrolink officials said. "We're throwing a lot of trains at them and they have 'a•lot of freight traffic," Solow said. "We are working with BNSF and trying to make some adjustments." Those adjustments will likely come in the way of schedule changes to allow for more turnaround time. Solow described that as a temporary fix. "The bigger issue is adding more track and other capital improvements like signals and switches," Solow said. The delays on the 8:28 a.m. train from Riverside to Los Angeles are the only ones marring the dramatically improved on -time rate. In July, commuter trains on the Riverside line were arriving on schedule only 66.5 percent of the time. That caused Metrolink officials to request help from the U.S. Surface Transportation Board in August. Union Pacific has since responded with better trafficking of freight trains, helping Metrolink's on -time rating on the Riverside line to move up to 87.5 percent. "It was quite a service issue," said John Bromley, spokesman for Union Pacific. "We acquired more locomotives and hired a lot more people to handle the capacity. When we got all those big ticket items behind us we had a smoother running railroad." In an effort to ensure things continue to operate smoothly, Union Pacific recently moved out rail dispatchers from its center in Omaha, Neb., to Colton.

The Commission determined that HSR is techni- cally, environmentally, and economically feasible once constructed and would be operationally self-sufficient. Furthermore, the Commission determined that HSR would positively impact the State's economy, enhance California's competitiveness in a global market, and receive widespread support from the people of California. The Commission recommended a statewide HSR network 676 miles long. Serving over 90 percent of the state's population, the system would link Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley, Los Angeles and San Diego. The system would be electrified, double -tracked, completely grade -separated, with operating speeds exceeding 200 mph. The construction of the HSR network would be a public works program on the scale of the State Water Project or the creation of the state's freeway system. Now that the feasibility of HSR has been determined, California must secure financing to implement the system, The Commissions financial projections showed that farebox and other revenue would not be sufficient to finance the HSR systems � . `' ft. I. �:. Ada .rp rrr construction costs. A voter -approved public funding source would be needed to provide a stable base for project construction. Although the projected operating surpluses are not large enough to achieve a system financed by private sources, private partners are expected to contribute to the financing structure, and the Commission recommended a design -build or design -build -operate contracting relationship with private sector entities. Implementing the HSR networic in California is the responsibility of the California High -Speed Rail Authority (Authority) created by Senate Bill 1420 (Kopp/Costa) in 1996, and signed by Governor Pete Wilson in September 1996. THE CALIFORNIA H1GH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY BEGINS WORK The Authority's mandate is to direct the develop- ment and implementation of intercity high -Speed train service that is fully coordinated with other modes of transportation and public transportation services. The Authority is required to prepare a plan for the construction and operation of a high-speed train network for the state capable of achieving operating speeds of at least 200 mph that is consistent with, and continuing the work of, 000059 www.cahlgi speedrall ca gov -e ONAOT AMIE CONTINUED MOM FRONT , a the Intercity High -Speed Rail Commission.4-The .

BULLET TRAINS' U.S. FUTURE IN DOUBT By GLEN JOHNSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Florida had what seemed to be a visionary plan to reduce airport crowding and traffic congestion: Build a 200-mph train that would whisk tourists and the like between Orlando, Tampa and Miami. But the state's new governor, Jeb Bush, killed the project nine days after taking office. The move cast doubt not only on the future of high-speed rail in Florida, but also in the rest of the country. On the same day, the General Accounting Office told Congress that most of the 10 other high-speed corridors under development in the United States "have not determined their funding sources" - a sto listen warning for high speed. P. look and The 10 include the Gulf Coast, the Texas Triangle, Midwest corridors between Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis and Minneapolis, plus similar tracks through California, the Southeast, upstate New York and the Pacific Northwest. The auditors concluded: "These systems may be an effective alternative in corridors where travel is increasing and it is difficult to expand highway and airport capacity. "However, high-speed rail systems are costly, and thus ridership levels may not be high enough in the United States for systems to cover their costs." An exception is in the Northeast Corridor, where Amtrak will begin operating 150-mph trains between Boston, New York and Washington in October. Amtrak expects its high-speed trains to help revive the financially strapped national railroad, as well as provide momentum for the proposed systems. "High-speed rail is not just a metropolitan solution; it is a solution also for my part of the country," John Robert Smith, mayor of Meridian, Miss., and a member of Amtrak's board of directors, said last year. High-speed trains are typically defined as those capable of traveling more than 125 mph. They achieve those speeds either with special tracks and locomotives or through technology allowing trains to tilt into existing curves. Japan, France and Germany, three nations with long rail histories, have taken the lead in developing such systems. When France opened its first TGV line between Paris and Lyon in the late 1980s, the internal French airline, Air Inter, had to cut back on its service because the 180-mph TGV was faster. Last June, when a 175-mph InterCity Express train crashed near Eschede, Germany. killing 101 people, it' was a blow to the national psyche. The trains were viewed as a symbol of German innovation and over their .../wmailLetter.py?Pyt=Tyzn&YY=786&box=Inbox&messag�7826_1557138 10401 725 49171/27/99 000063 — _ rage : o: 10-year history had become an integral part of the country's travel network. The Florida project was to have mirrored such foreign innovation. The late Gov. Lawton Chiles signed a deal in 1996 with Florida Overland eXpress, a private consortium. It planned to run French -designed trains on new tracks that would cross existing obstacles with underpasses and overpasses, instead of traditional grade crossings. The project carried a price tag of up to $8 billion. Bush questioned the projected ridership and whether the routes might lead to unwelcome development around the Everglades. His biggest concern, though, was money. The state had already committed to $28 million to the project. "There are better alternatives for $70 million per year compounded at 9 percent," the newly elected governor said. Anne Chettle, spokeswoman for the Washington -based High Speed Ground Transportation Association, said Bush's decision shows why if high-speed rail is to spread across the United States, it will have to be done in increments. Typically, that means straightening track curves, rebuilding existing stations and buying trains with higher top speeds - exactly what Amtrak is doing in the Northeast Corridor. "That seems to set lawmakers at ease, because it is not the big chunk of money they so often see advertised. It may not be the wisest use of money and actually lead to higher costs, but it seems to be the most palatable," Chettle said. The Transportation Department is encouraging the approach by designating routes as "high-speed rail corridors," making them eligible for special development money. Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater is traveling to the Midwest this week to make such a designation for the line between Chicago and Indianapolis. Amtrak currently makes one run a day between the cities. Despite the GAO's dire assessment, rail advocates believe high-speed trains can flourish in the United States, given the right approach. "What we're trying to do here is not really all or nothing," said Amtrak spokesman John Wolf. "If you use an incremental approach and build on existing rights of way in partnership with states and private businesses and freight railroads, we believe it will work."

Cost estimates range from $21 billion for standard high speed to $29 billion for magnetic levitation trains. The California Intercity High -Speed Rail Commission is studying the proposal and trying to obtain financing: A statewide vote is expected by 2000. CHICAGO-DETROIT: The corridor covers 279 miles and links Ann Arbor, Mich., and Kalamazoo, Mich., with Detroit and Chicago. The estimated cost is $800 million for an incremental approach to rebuilding stations and improving signals along the line. Amtrak and the Michigan Department of Transportation hope to begin service on part of the corridor this year and along the full route by 2006. CHICAGO-MILWAUKEE-MINNEAPOLIS: The corridor covers 418 miles and links Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis, and possibly Madison, Wisc., and Wisconsin Dells. Incremental improvements are planned. The estimated cost for the stretch between Chicago and Milwaukee is $471 million. There is no firm price tag for the overall project. Wisconsin is working with a nine -state coalition to find funding. CHICAGO-ST. LOUIS: The corridor covers 282 miles and links Springfield and Bloomington -Normal, Ill., to Chicago and St. Louis. The estimated cost is $350 million. Engineers are working on incremental improvements, including developing a net to prevent accidents at railroad crossings and a new system to control trains. Once completed, Illinois would seek a private -sector partner. The states hope to begin service in 2003. GULF COAST: The corridor covers 719 miles from Houston through New Orleans to Birmingham, Ala. Incremental improvements are planned, but currently there is no estimated cost. A ridership and feasibility study is underway. Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are working together to obtain funding. NORTHEAST: The corridor runs 457 miles between Boston, New York and Washington. There has been a $4 billion improvement project underway, electrifying the track between New Haven, Conn., and Boston, and buying 20 new trains capable of traveling at 150 mph. The improvements are scheduled to debut 01)0065 /wmailLetter.py?PyrTym&yy_25981&boxu.Inbox&messages8138_1562782 10590 724 391/27/99 rakze _ oz _ in October. PACIFIC -NORTHWEST: The corridor covers 466 miles and links Portland and Seattle with Eugene, Ore., and Vancouver, B.C. The estimated cost is $1.865 billion. The project would entail a series of incremental improvements to push train speeds up to 125 mph. No timetable yet for starting the service. SOUTHEAST: The corridor covers 390 miles between Washington and Charlotte, N.C. The work would involve a series of incremental changes such as straightening curves to push existing rail speeds up to 110 mph. There is no cost estimate, although Virginia said it would cost $350 million to add a second track to the corridor. There is no starting date for' the 110 mph service. TEXAS TRIANGLE: The corridor runs in a 436-mile triangle between Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. The estimated cost is $4 billion. In 1989, the state awarded a franchise to build the line, but the franchise was terminated in 1994. While the project is now dormant, the state Transportation Department has been talking with private investors and rail companies about making incremental improvements along the corridor. UPSTATE NEW YORK: The corridor covers 431 miles and links Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, N.Y., with New York and Buffalo. The estimated cost is $315 million, much of which is for improving the condition and technology of the existing rail lines. The work should be completed by 2004.

For that reason, strong internal controls should be a vital objective of government managers and public officials. Annual audits by an independent firm are a critical element of internal controls. Public officials should have a keen interest in wanting to ensure that appropriate controls exist and are followed. The annual audit provides an independent and objective evaluation of financial results , internal controls, and policies and procedures. Commissioners then have a fair, objective, and reliable assessment of the agency's performance. Increasingly, as one of the internal control measures, jurisdictions are creating audit committees composed of policy makers. The audit committee serves two functions: 1 y to advise the governing board on matters pertaining to agency audits; and, 2} to advise on issues involving the internal control structure. Staff is recommending that an Audit Subcommittee be established for the Commission. The Audit Subcommittee would meet twice a year and as needed. The first meeting would be to discuss with the auditors the annual scope and other audit areas of concern. The second meeting would be to receive the results of the annual audit, including auditor required communications, management letter comments, and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report with the auditor's analysis of those results. Additionally, the result of the audits of funding recipients would also be considered. Other meetings could be held if requested by the auditors, staff, or the Subcommittee itself. Once every five years the Subcommittee would also be charged with selecting the Commission's independent auditors. While the Audit Subcommittee would undoubtably include some members with a financial background (e.g., CPA's, bankers, financial planners), membership should not be limited to financial types. Others with varied expertise(e.g., attorneys) would broaden the skill level and usefulness of the committee. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada(GFOA) recommends in their publication, U00067 "Audit Management Guidebook", that in "selecting members to serve on an audit committee, governing bodies should seek not just accounting and auditing skills, but whatever other skills appear needed in the government's particular situation". The GFOA also recommends that audit committees should be limited in size. It should be large enough to accommodate a good range of expertise to enhance its role as advisors to the full Board, but small enough to be able to operate efficiently and effectively. Evidently, a number of governments have found five members to be a number that will accomplish those two goals. An audit committee could either be established as a subcommittee of the Budget and Implementation Committee, or a standing committee of the Commission. The Budget and Implementation Committee chose to have the audit committee serve as a subcommittee. Commissioner Jim Venable, Chair of the Budget and Implementation Committee then appointed Commissioners John Hunt (also appointed Subcommittee Chair), John Tavaligone, Alex Clifford, Jim Smedley, a d G egory Audit Pettis to the Audit Subcommittee. i Project Cost Financial Assessment Source of Funds Included in Fiscal Year Budget Included in Program Budget Approved Allocation Budget Adjustment Required Financial Impact Not Applicable X :•: Year Programmed Year of Allocation Year BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. OU036$ RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer Claudia Chase, Property Agent THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Friends of Jefferson House Contract In September 1993, the Riverside County Transportation Commission and the Friends of Jefferson House entered into an agreement for maintenance services at the Riverside Downtown Station and the Pedley Station. In October 1995, this agreement was amended to include the La Sierra Station, the West Corona Station and the additional parking lot at the Riverside Downtown Station. In January 1999, with the completion of the expansion at the Riverside Downtown Station, which includes two elevators, two stair cases, a pedestrian bridge, a second platform, a restroom facility and a security building, Friends of Jefferson has requested an additional $1,056.00 for their services. Due to a mandated increase in minimum wage, Friends of Jefferson House is also requesting an increase in their current agreement. The proposed amendment will add an additional $945.00 to the current contract. Friends of Jefferson House has provided the personnel, supervision, supplies and equipment necessary to assure the rail stations are always clean and safe. Friends of Jefferson House has always demonstrated a genuine interest in the quality of their performance, as well as an ability to be prompt to respond to emergencies that have occurred at the stations. Therefore, with the expansion at the Riverside Downtown Station and the increase to the current contract, the proposed adjustment will be from $4,155.00 per month to $6,156.00 per month for maintenance services. The total contract value will be $61,899.00 thru June 30,1999. 000069 Financial Assessment Project Cost 12,006.

The table to the right shows the change in market value for both an instantaneous change in rates (takes place in one day) and a change in rates that takes place over six months. interest rates are assumed to move up or down 300 basis points (bp) in 50 by increments. Next to the change in market value is the gaiMoss column for each scenario. The gain or loss is calculated by subtracting acquisition cost from market value. There are other factors, but the major difference in the two scenarios is interest eamed. If the change takes place over six months there is an additional six months interest income, plus interest on cash flows assumed to be reinvested at 5.29%. In addition, the portfolio would be ^ix months shorter.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: , Budget and Implementation Committee Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Local Transportation Fund (LTF) Projection The Local Transportation fund consists of revenues generated from a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax. These sales tax revenues are principally used to fund transit requirements within the County. The Transportation Development Act, legislation which created LTF, requires the County Auditor Controller to annually estimate the amount of revenues expected to be generated from the sales tax. That revenue estimate then becomes the basis for geographic apportionment and claimant allocation. 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. The practice has therefore been for Commission staff to actually develop the revenue estimate. That estimate is then submitted to the County Auditor Controller for concurrence. Once the Commission and the County have agreed on a revenue amount, staff prepares the statutorily required apportionment. Apportionment is the process which assigns revenues to the three major geographic areas(as defined by TDA law) within the County - Coachella Valley, Palo Verde Valley, and Western Riverside County. Those revenues are divided between the three areas based on their respective populations. The area apportionments occur after off -the -top allocations for administration (distributed to the County, the Commission, and SCAG), set asides for planning activities (3%), and reservations for bicycle and pedestrian projects (2%). Attached is the 1999/2000 LTF apportionment based on a revenue estimate of $35,500,000. The County has reviewed the estimate and concurs with it. The estimate was based on revenues to date projected to the end of the year, and then inflated by 5.8%, the lower of two estimates furnished by local economists (the higher estimate was six percent). BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve the attached apportionment for Coachella Valley, Palo Verde Valley, and Western Riverside County.

Staff issued a request for projects (RFP) to the Cities and County of Riverside on December 14, 1998. The deadline for project submittal(s) was at 5:00 p.m. on January 8, 1999. A total of 17 agencies met the deadline and submitted 44 projects for the rehabilitation and arterial improvements categories requesting a total of $93,029,813 in STIP funding. Three (3) agencies submitted El Nino projects requesting $2,246,882 in STIP funding. The total amount requested equaled $95,276,695. Staff and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) met on January 13 following the Commission meeting to evaluate projects. The work to be accomplished was to reduce $95,276,695 of project requests into $15,000,000 of available funding. The first area of discussion was to address the "off the top" funding for the El Nino storm damage projects. The discussion surrounded the fact that in many cases there is a window of time which can extend upwards of 20 months whereby the storm damage projects could be funded by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Therefore, if the Commission funded these projects and FEMA or FHWA came up with funding to support them in the future, the funded projects would technically be ineligible for reimbursement. This situation would create an awkward situation. for the Commission because the Commission has a long standing policy to maximize the receipt of federal and state funds. The only other option staff and TAC could consider is to reserve an amount of the $15 million to address the submitted and qualified unfunded storm damage after the federal funding window closed. Staff and TAC determined that it would be best to recommend the Commission eliminate the El Nino category from the call for projects 1 .j 1 At because there were more than enough projects to consider for rehabilitation and arterial improvements. Setting aside a reserve of funds would not support the California Transportation Commission and Caltran's efforts to spend down the State Highway Account balance nor would it put these funds to work as soon as possible. It is the recommendation of staff and the TAC that the Plans and Programs Committee recommend the Commission eliminate the El Nino storm damage category of the $15 million call for projects. 17 agencies submitted 44 projects for rehabilitation and arterial projects for a total request of $93,029,813. Staff and the TAC determined that a reasonable way to narrow the evaluation of project requests was to allow each agency to identify their highest priority project. With the Commission structure in mind, each agency, with the exception of the County of Riverside identified their highest priority project. The County was allowed to identify the highest priority project per supervisorial district, or 5 projects. This narrowed the field to 20 projects requesting $42,480,288 of STIP funding. Staff and the TAC applied 7 of the 8 Commission approved criteria assigning a low, medium and high point structure (1,2 or 3 points per criteria) and evaluated each of the 20 projects. The maximum points a project could receive was 21. The 8' criteria "Geographic Balance" was withheld until after the projects were evaluated, scored and placed in rank order. The priority list, by evaluation score, left two obvious omissions from the distribution of projects namely the Pass Area and the City of Riverside. Even though it was not necessary, because their project ranked well into the funding area, the City of Hemet staff offered to seek $400,000 of local funds to support their arterial widening and rehabilitation project on State Street with the knowledge that this could allow the funding line to be lowered resulting in an additional funded project. This contribution has since been confirmed and will be in writing the week of January 18' Given the Commission's discussions prior to establishing the intra county formula, the list when viewed in terms of the Discretionary funds showed almost $2 million of discretionary funds going to the Coachella Valley area ($1,994,457 of $3,630,000 of available discretionary funding). The project which was viewed as being funded with discretionary funds was the rehabilitation and widening of Washington Street which was the highest ranked project and is a joint submittal by the Cities of La Quinta, Indian Wells and Palm Desert along with the County as lead agency for the project. As a result of discussion between staff and the TAC on how to reach geographic balance , it is recommended that STIP funding for the Washington Street project be reduced by $1,000,000. The reduction of the Washington Street project and the increased local contribution of $400,000 from the City of Hemet makes it possible to Af. establish a reasonable geographic balance for the distribution of the funds by; • funding the highest scored Pass Area project (rehabilitation of Highland Springs Avenue - $446,320), and • funding the City of Riverside's project (rehabilitation of Magnolia Avenue - $600,000), and • the recommendation is consistent with the adopted Intra-county Formula by identifying the Palo Verde Valley Area formula share of funds ($156,906). PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE, STAFF AND TAC RECOMMENDATIONS: 1 j That the Commission eliminate the El Nino storm damage category from the $15 million call for projects. 2} That the Commission approve the attached list of arterial and rehabilitation projects for STIP funding recognizing that the two actions listed below make it possible to establish a reasonable level of geographic equity by funding the Pass Area project which received the highest score in the evaluation process; funds the City of Riverside's project, and establishes a reserve of formula STIP funds for the Palo Verde Valley Area, consistent with the adopted Intra-County Formula for allocating STIP Regional Improvement Program funds: • The City of Hemet has increased its local share for the State Street arterial widening and rehabilitation project by $400,000. • The Washington Street widening and rehabilitation project STIP request is reduced by $1,000,000.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans and Programs Committee Hideo Sugita, Director of Planning and Programming THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: , 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program Amendment At the December 9, 1998 meeting the Commission approved the following Intra-County Formula allocation of new programming capacity for the 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). INTRA-COUNTY FORMULA APPLICATION 1998 STIP AMENDMENT ($'s in millions) STIP/RIP Funds Available $50.333 2% Planning Funds ($1.007) Regional Rideshare $(1.220) Discretionary STIP 24.20% ($11.642) Subtotal STIP $36.464 El Nino, Rehab & Arterials ($15.000) Formula STIP $ 21.464 Western County 72.23% $15.503 Coachella Valley 26.39% $5.665 Palo Verde Valley 1.38% $0.296 Distribution of El Nino, Rehab & Arterial Funds: Discretionary 24.20% $3.630 _ Western County 72.23% $8.213 Coachella Valley 26.39% $3.000 _ Palo Verde Valley 1.38% ' $0.157 This item will provide recommendations for the allocation the discretionary STIP funds $1 1.642 million; the formula STIP shares which are; Western County = $15.503 million; Coachella Valley = $5.665 milliion; and the Palo Verde Valley = $.0296 million. It is staff's recommendation that the full amount of discretionary STIP funds and the Western County formula share be allocated to the following Measure A projects in the following amounts: Route 91 - Mary Street to Th Street $ 1.0M for Environmental 00I) 095 $10.0M for PS& E Project Subtotal = $11.0M Route 79 Newport Road to Keller Road Project Subtotal Route 91 Phase 11 Sound Walls & Auxiliary lanes Total Western County The Western County formula share ($15.503M) ($11.642M) is $27.145M. $ 0.5M for Environmental $ 1.5M for PS&E $ 2.5M for R/W and Utilities $ 8.3M, for Construction $12.8M $ 3.345M Construction $27.145M plus the STIP discretionary share The Western County funding recommendation will lead to the full delivery of the Newport to Keller Measure A project by 2003-04, complete the needed refinement for the environmental, preliminary studies and engineering for the Route 91 widening project from Mary Street to Seventh Street, and will complete the Route 91 Phase 11 soundwall project, required mitigation for the Route 91 HOV lanes previously constructed, and add auxiliary lanes between interchanges to improve traffic flow. At this time, CVAG has not taken formal action to make a recommendation on the Coachella Valley or Palo Verde Valley STIP formula shares. CVAG may take action on all or a portion of their formula shares the evening of January 25, 1999 at their regularly scheduled Executive Committee meeting. Staff recommends, due to the deadlines established by the California Transportation Co,'rimission for the 1998 STIP Amendment that any recommendation(s) coming forth from the CVAG Executive Committee meeting be forwarded directly to the Commission's February 10 meeting agenda. if no recommendation is forwarded from the CVAG Executive Committee, staff recommends reserving the Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys' formula share of 1998 STIP Amendment funds for their use at a later date. With respect to the $1.007M of Planning, Programming and Monitoring (PP&M) funds, staff recommends the Commission to reserve the funds for a combined programming recommendation including previously programmed PP&M funds of $1:376M which is in the 1999-00 year of the STIP. The reason for this recommendation is to make programming recommendations for these planning Commission's direction to allocate the funds inaccordance with the adt wd the hue - County Formula for allocating shares of STIP funds. (Commission action October 14, 19981 000096 This will provide a short window of time to align the PP&M funds with RCTC and CVAG because the CTC is not meeting in April. In order to amend the STIP by the CTC's June 9t and 10t meeting staff estimates that the Commission will have to adopt recommendations on the PP&M program at our March 10, 1999 meeting. In order to meet this schedule Commission staff and CVAG staff will have to get this program recommendation in order as soon as possible. PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1) That the Commission program the entire amount of discretionary 1998 STIP amendment funds and the entire Western County formula share of 1998 STIP Amendment funds to the following Measure A projects in the following amounts: Route 91 - Mary Street to 7t' Street $ 1.0M for Environmental $10.0M for PS&E Project Subtotal = $11.0M Route 79 - Newport Road to Keller Road Project Subtotal $ 0.5M for Environmental $ 1.5M for PS&E $ 2.5M for R/W and Utilities $ 8.3M for Construction $12.8M Route 91 Phase II Sound Walls & Auxiliary lanes $ 3.345M Construction Total Western County= $27.145M 2) That the Commission consider any programming recommendations coming from the January 25, 1998 CVAG Executive Committee meeting for the Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys' formula share of 1998 STIP Amendment funds. 3) Should no recommendation be forwarded from CVAG, then staff recommends the Commission reserve the respective Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys' formula shares of 1998 STIP Amendment funds for their future programming recommendations. 4) That the Commission combine the $1.007M of 1998 STIP Amendment Planning, Programming & Monitoring funds with the $1.376M of previously programmed 1998 STIP funds to make programming recommendations for these planning funds consistent with the Commission's direction to allocate the funds in accordance with the adopted Intra-County Formula for allocating shares of STIP funds. (Commission action October 14, 1998) UUG097 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans and Programs Committee Hideo Sugita, Director of Planning and Programming THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Contracts/Agreements for CETAP The CETAP project requires the Commission execute a contract/agreement with the Southern California Association of Governments {SCAG} in order to facilitate the flow of SCAG planning funds to the Commission to support the CETAP project. Staff estimates approximately $350,000 to $400,000 of SCAG planning funds will be available to support the CETAP project on an annual basis for a period of three years. The Commission previously approved $1.5 million of SB 45 State Transportation Improvement Program Planning, Programming & Monitoring funds to support the CETAP project. Additionally, the CETAP project will include all work associated with updating the County General Plan's Circulation Element. County staff has agreed to pay the Commission for all costs associated with updating the County's Circulation Element. There is a very constrained time line for reviewing consultant proposals, interviewing and developing a recommendation for consultant(s) selection and executing a contract with the selected consultant(s). The current time line has the County of Riverside making a consultant selection on February 16, 1999. Due to the Commission's meeting schedule, as well as the consultant selection schedule, staff proposes that the Commission make every effort to expedite the selection and contract for the recommended CETAP consultant. The current schedule is to review proposals and short list consultants for interviews by January 28, 1999. If the schedule is maintained, consultant interviews will be conducted on February 3, 1999. The selection process may allow staff to bring recommendations forward to the Commission at the February 10, 1999 meeting.

Specifically, we designed our audit to issue reports and letters on the following: • General Purpose Financial Statements of the Riverside County Transportation Commission • Financial Statements on the Local Transponation Fund • Internal control over financial reporting and compliance • Management letter Areas of Audit Emphasis The principal areas of audit emphasis were as follows: • Evaluation of the Commission's investment policies and internal control over cash and investments • Evaluation of the Commission's accounting for debt, including issuance of debt, and debt covenant compliance • Evaluation of the Commission's accounting for project expenditures • Evaluation of TDA and Measure A expenditures Analytical review and inquiry into the nature of various account balances • Evaluation of litigation, claims and assessments • Review of compliance with the provisions of Measure A, including level of administrative salaries and benefits • Review of compliance with the provisions of TDA • Evaluation of the Commission's internal control • Implementation of GASB Statement No. 31 on investments • Implementation of GASB Statement No. 27 on pension plans UUU104 4 ERNST & YOUNG LLP TDA Claimants and Measure A Recipients Our Approach We designed our audits to issue reports and letters on the following: • Transit and Transportation Financial Statements of TDA claimants and Measure A recipients • Internal control over financial reporting and compliance • Management letter Areas of Audit Emphasis The principal areas of audit emphasis were as follows: • Evaluation of TDA and Measure A expenditures • Evaluation of Measure A expenditures in relation to approved Measure A five-year capital improvement plans • Evaluation of deferred revenues and capital grants equity, as applicable • Analytical review and inquiry into the nature of various account balances • Analytical review of actual results and comparison to budgeted amounts • Review of compliance with the provisions of TDA and Measure A There were no changes to our planned approach or audit areas of emphasis. 000105 5 ERNST & YOUNG LL P BUSINESS RISK ASSESSMENT UPDATE As changing demographics, regulations and other factors continually transform the operating environment, the Comrrnssion faces a steady stream of new business risks. Business risks have audit implications and drive our choice of audit procedures and emphasis. Understanding Internal/External Factors ^' Business Implication Audit Implication-`_."`,: INDUSTRY ISSUES Funding Sources The Commission. TDA claimants and Measure A recipients rely heavily on various funding sources including federal, state and local monies. There continues to be a possibility of a decrease in funding, primarily at the federal and state level. However, under SB45, the Commission has direct responsi- bility relating to the regional choice allocation of State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) dollars. The Commission must continually assess project funding availability and monitor sales tax growth. Debt financing of future projects is limited. Two-thirds voter majority is required to extend Measure A beyond 2009. Expenditure/expense funding for cities/agencies is often dependent on other federal, state and local monies. Assess budgeting controls and review project expenditures for allowability under transportation plans and grant awards. BUSINESS ISSUE Restructuring Cash Management Technology Year 2000 The Commission continues to evolve and will expand its Board as of January 1999. The Commission is responsible for making investment decisions for its cash and investments. The Commission operates in an environment that requires the Commission to continue to assess the security and adequacy of information systems. As the Year 2000 approaches, the Commission is faced with ensuring that the information systems are compliant with Year 2000 issues. Restructuring presents the Commis- sion with operating challenges. The Commission must balance its safety, liquidity, and yield investment objectives and ensure that investments are made in accordance with state laws and Commission policies. Maintain operations during disasters. Prevent unauthorized use of system and related data. The Commission cannot function without operational information systems. Be aware of whether vendors, fiscal agents and others will be Year 2000 compliant. Impact on financial statement disclosures. Compliance with investment ob- jectives. state laws and policies. Determine disclosures in financial statements are appropriate. Adequacy of access and pro- gramming controls on EDP con- trols and related effect on nature and extent of audit testing. Review Commission's plan for Year 2000 issues to ensure management has properly addressed the issues and proper financial statement disclosures are made. 000106 6 111ERNST & YOUNG LL P Understanding Internal/External Factors Business Implication TECHNICAL ISSUES Property Held for Development Debt GASB Statement No. 31 GASB Statement No. 27 The Commission has property purchased tin right-of-way acqui- sition, of which a portion may not be used for project construction. The Commission, the Riverside Transit Agency and the SunI_ine Transit Agency maintain various types of debt. Issuance of GASH Statement No. 31 required a change to fair value accounting and reporting for invest- ments.

Fraud Consideration SAS clarifies auditor responsi-bilities (SAS 82) filr detecting fraud. Identification of strategy for excess property is necessary to maximize the Commission's investment. Evaluate financial feasibility scenarios. Commission requires understanding of and adherence to deht covenants and operating ability to service debt. Arbitrage calculations are required.

Annual pension cost to he recorded may differ from pension expenditures, and net pension obligations will he recorded as general long-term debt. Management should be aware of the risk factors related to the Commission in order to he able to address them. Adequate disclosure in the financial statements. Compliance with debt covenants and proper accounting and reporting. Ascertain proper accounting and reporting for investments and related unrealized gains and losses. Ascertain proper accounting and reponing during implementation. Auditors must document their assessment of the risk and their response to the risk factors. 000107 7 Lij ERNST & YOUNG LLP REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS Professional standards require the auditor to communicate to the audit committee or an equivalent group to ensure that it is provided with additional information regarding the scope and results of the audit that may assist the group in overseeing management's financial reporting and disclosure process. Summarized below are these required communications related to our financial statement audits: Area Comments Auditors' Responsibilities under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) The general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our audits were designed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards' (GAS), which provide for reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. We have a responsibility to opine on whether the general purpose financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As a part of our audit, we obtain a sufficient understanding of internal control to plan our audits and to determine the nature, timing and extent of testing to he performed. We have issued an unqualified opinion on the Commission's general purpose financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1998. We have issued or anticipate issuing unqualified opinions on the financial statements of the TEA claimants and Measure A recipients, except for the City of Beaumont, which received a qualified opinion for a going concern uncertainty; the City of Perris, which may receive a qualified opinion for a going concern uncertainty: and the cities of Blythe. Indio and Perris, the County of Riverside and the Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency, which received qualified opinions as a result of a scope limitation resulting from insufficient audit evidence to support the disclosures with respect to the Year 2000 Issue. Management did not place any restrictions on the scope of our audits. Significant Accounting Policies Initial selection of and changes in significant accounting policies or their application and new accounting and reporting standards implemented during the year must be reported. UU310� The significant accounting policies used by the Commission are described in Note 1 to the general purpose financial statements. There were no changes in significant accounting policies or new accounting or reporting standards, except for the following: • GASB 31 requires fair value reporting for investments. The Commission's accounting policy for investments is included in Note I. The effect of the change in accounting for investments on fund balance at July I. 1997 was not maierial. • GASH 27 established standards for employer pension measurement, accounting and disclosure. The Commission's participation in PERS is disclosed in Note 12. The pension liability was $0 both before and at the transition. 8 =l ERNST & YOUNG LCP Comments Management Judgments and Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the use There are no areas requiring significant judgments or of accounting estimates. Cenain estimates are accounting estimates in the 1998 general purpose particularly sensitive due to their "significance to the financial statements. statements and the possibility that future events may . diller significantly from management's expectations. Significant Audit Adjustments No audit adjustments were recorded for the Commission. Various audit adjustments were recorded by the TDA claimants and Measure A recipients. Oilier Information in Documents Containing Audited Fiuunrial Statements The Commission's 1996 audited general purpose financial statements were used in connection with the $48 million sales tax bonds financing.

Reimbursement revenues fluctuate as federal and state funding sources relate to eligible projects. The increase reflects an increase in available federal and state funding. • Other sources reflects an increase primarily due to proceeds from bond issuances in 1998 and 1996. • Program expenditures during the past three fiscal years represent increased regional arterial program activity. • The increase in debt service in 1998 is primarily due to the payment of commercial paper in the amount of $44,000,000 from the 1997 bond proceeds. • Other uses primarily represent operating transfers to cover debt service for the 1991, 1993, 1996 and 1997 bonds as well as refunding of debt in 1996. • Ending fund balance has decreased 25% since 1994 due to significant program expenditures, of which a significant portion of Measure A highway/regionaI arteriallcommuter rail projects have been funded from bond proceeds. The Commission's capacity to issue additional debt is limited.

The following have a fund balance representing at least three years of unspent monies: • City of Riverside Article 8 monies of $257,515, representing allocations since 1991. • County of Riverside Article 8 monies of $352,408, representing allocations since 1994. • City of Beaumont Measure A monies of S753,599, representing allocations since 1994. • City of Blythe Measure A monies of $2,703,866, representing allocations since 1995. • City of Indio Measure A monies of $2,924,640, representing allocations since 1994. - • City of Riverside Measure A monies of $15,574,608, representing allocations since 1996. Income; Statement Items For your information, the following cities/agencies allocate indirect costs and other overhead allocations to TDA or Measure A funds: • The City of Banning allocates interfund costs, such as administration, personnel, attorney costs, insurance, fleet maintenance, financial and computer costs to the Article 4 Transit fund. • The City of Beaumont allocates administrative overhead costs to both the Article 4 and Measure A funds. • Family Services Association allocates overhead based on a percentage of total expenses. • Inland AIDS Project allocates overhead based on actual duties performed for the Measures A fund. • Transportation Specialists allocates overhead costs based on vehicle service hours, which agree to the Measure A match requirements. • Volunteer Center of Riverside County allocates salaries based on the percentage of full-time equivalents for the program. 000113 13 ERNST & YOUNG LLP Compliance Findings In 1997 the City of Blythe was not in conformance with the Measure A requirement to maintain its continuous commitment of local discretionary expenditures for streets and roads. During 1998. the City's Annual Street Reports for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were amended and filed with the State Controller's Office to properly classify discretionary expenditures for those years. As a result. in 1998 the City is in conformance with the Measure A requirement to maintain its continuous commitment of local discretionary expenditures for streets and roads. The City of Beaumont did not submit and receive approval of the Measure A five-vear expenditure plan for the year ended June 30, 1998. Therefore, the current year Measure A expenditures of $33,806 are considered to be questioned costs. The City intends to submit the 1998 Measure A five-year expenditure plan to the Commission. Until the 1998 five-year expenditure plan is approved, the City's 1998 Measure A allocation of $168,981 is being withheld by the Conunission. The City of Moreno Valley had approximately $325,000 of Measure A expenditures that were not on the approved five-year expenditure plan. They were identified as questioned costs. The City intends to request that the submitted plan be revised to include these expenditures. The City of Riverside had approximately $18,000 of Measure A expenditures that were not on the approved five-year expenditurepian. They were identified as questioned costs. The City intends to request that the submitted plan be revised to include these expenditures. Ca,h FluvkConcerns The City of Beaumont's General Fund has a cash balance deficit of approximately $1.600,000, and the City, as a whole, has a total cash balance of approximately $471,000, including $253,784 and $761,418 in the Transit Fund and Transportation Funds, respectively, at June 30, 1998. This raises substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern and repay the Transit and Transportation Funds for cash borrowed, which could affect the planned operations of both the Transit and Transportation Funds. The City of Lake Elsinore has continued to experience City-wide financial pressures regarding the debt incurred related to the baseball stadium. There has been significant press coverage relating to the City's financial matters. The City of Perris has experienced an unusually high rate of turnover of City personnel. Various open items include the City's difficulty to reconcile timely cash at June 30, 1998. The City received a going concern opinion from the City auditors for the year ended June 30, 1997. We anticipate issuing a going concern opinion for the fiscal 1998 year.

The re - programed CMAQ funds are to be utilized to construct a Pedestrian Overcrossing Structure and Security Enhancements at each station. This project is the next step in providing for public safety within the rail program and is required to be in place prior to the BN&SF installing the third main line track in the areas of the stations. The estimated construction cost and contingencies, and the available funding for the project are as follows: Riverside La Sierra $1, 200,000 West Corona $1,300,000 Contingency (13%) $ 325,000 Total Estimated Construction Cost $2,825,000 CMAQ funds available $2,500,000 11.47% Local Match $ 325,000 Total funding available for project $2,825,000 At the October 8, 1998 meeting, the Commission directed staff to advertise to receive bids for the Construction of a Pedestrian Overcrossing Structure and Security Enhancements at the existing La Sierra and West Corona Commuter Rail Stations. The Notice Requesting Bids was advertised on December 21, 1998. Initially, the bids were required to be submitted by January 21, 1999. At the request of the majority of the bid plan holders, an Addendum to the bid documents was issued to extend the bid period an additional two (2) weeks, to February 4, 1999. The additional bid time was intended to give the prospective bidders the time that they felt they needed to assure a competitive bid for the project. Staff concurred with the request. When the bids were opened on February 4, 1999, only one bid was submitted for the project, from Mallcraft, Inc., for $3,311,000.00. There were fourteen (14) plan holders who purchased bid documents for the project; but, only Mallcraft, actually bid on the project. The Engineer's Estimate for the project is approximately $2,500,000.00. The bid received from Mallcraft was reviewed by staff and Legal Counsel and found to be responsive but the bid amount tendered is in excess of what staff believes is a competitive bid for the project. The Mallcraft bid is $81 1,000 (32%) over the Engineer's Estimate. Because of the limited response of the bids received, one from Mallcraft, and the high cost associated with the one bid received, staff is recommending that the one bid received from Mallcraft be rejected and that the project be re -packaged and re - advertised. The project, as currently defined in the bid package, includes both the La Sierra and West Corona Pedestrian Over Crossings. When the project is re -advertised, Staff recommends that prospective bidders be allowed the opportunity to bid on either one or both of the pedestrian over crossings. From conversations we have had with several of the bidders on the plan holders list, we have concluded that by splitting up the bid, smaller sized companies, with smaller bonding capacity, will be able to bid on the project. Staff believes that this approach should result in a lower more cost competitive bid than the one currently received from Mallcraft. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve the following: 1. That the single bid received from Mallcraft, that exceeded the Engineer's estimate by 32%, be rejected. 2. That the project to construct a pedestrian over crossing and security system at both the La Sierra and West Corona Metrolink stations be re -advertised for a period of twenty days. 3. That the project be re -packaged so that prospective bidders be allowed to bid on construction of the pedestrian over crossing and electronic security systems at either one or both of the stations. RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Resident Engineer THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Award of Construction Contract No. RO-9932 to Construct a Pedestrian Overcrossing Structure and Security Enhancements at the Existing La Sierra and West Corona Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations. At the September 9, 1998 Commission meeting, the Commission authorized staff to re -program CMAQ funds, that had been allocated to the San Jacinto Branch Line, to the Riverside La Sierra and West Corona Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations. The re - programed CMAQ funds are to be utilized to construct a Pedestrian Overcrossing Structure and Security Enhancements at each station. This project is the next step in providing for public safety within the rail program. The estimated construction cost and contingencies, and the available funding for the project are as follows: Riverside La Sierra $1,200,000 West Corona S 1, 300,000 Contingency (13%) $ 325,000 Total Estimated Construction Cost $2,825,000 CMAQ funds available $2,500,000 11.47% Local Match $ 325,000 Total funding available for project $2,825,000 At the October 8, 1998 meeting, the Commission directed staff to advertise to receive bids for the Construction of a Pedestrian Overcrossing Structure and Security Enhancements at the existing La Sierra and West Corona Commuter Rail Stations.

But, at the request of the majority of the bid plan holders, an Addendum to the bid documents was issued which extended the bid period an additional two (2) weeks, to February 4, 1999. The additional bid time will give the prospective bidders the time that they feel they need to assure a competitive bid for the project. Staff concurred with the request. 000132 BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: When the bids are received, on February 4, 1999, they will be distributed to the evaluation panel, consisting of staff members and Legal Counsel, and reviewed for compliance to the bid documents. Based on the review by staff and Legal Counsel, the evaluation panel will recommend the lowest responsive bidder to the Commission for award of Contract No. RO-9932, for Construction of a Pedestrian Overcrossing Structure and Security Enhancements at the existing La Sierra and West Corona Commuter Rail Stations. { U0133 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee David Shepherd, Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Local Sales Tax Measure Renewal Options Beginning in early 1998, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) expressed interest in renewing the current half -cent transportation sales tax measure, Measure A. In response, RCTC staff raised the issue of the difficulty in attaining a two-thirds majority to support passage of local sales tax measures. This difficulty presents a clear dilemma for the seventeen self-help counties in the state as well as those counties lacking a dedicated local source of revenue to support necessary transportation investments. The Self -Help Counties Coalition, under the leadership of SANBAG Executive Director, Norm King (Moderator), and RCTC Executive Director, Eric Haley (Vice - Moderator), began discussing options for addressing the two-thirds dilemma. From this discussion and a series of legal reviews, six options seem to be available. Each have their own unique legal and political merits or demerits. 1. Legislation to amend the Constitution to change the two-thirds vote requirement for local transportation sales and use tax to majority vote. To be placed on the ballot, a constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. The proposition would need to be approved by a majority vote of the state-wide electorate. 2. Adoption of a state tax - 50% ratification by the statewide electorate of a state transportation sales and use tax collected in each county, contingent upon local ratification of an expenditure plan by a majority of the cities representing a majority of the county population and a majority of the county Board of Supervisors. This would require 50% approval by the Legislature to be placed on the ballot. 3. A statewide tax (similar to #2 above) - 50% statewide vote required followed by a two-thirds ratification of the cities and County Supervisors. This would require 50% approval by the Legislature to be placed on the ballot. 4. A bill requiring two-thirds vote by the Legislature to impose a state transportation sales and use tax subject to ratification by a majority vote of 000134 the county electorate; 5. State constitutional amendment to reverse the two-thirds, and within the county 50% requirement, i.e. special taxes require 50% and general taxes require two-thirds; 6. A+B-One measure, requiring 50% which outlays the expenditure plan, the other, requiring 50% ratification of the half -cent to pay for the plan, both appearing simultaneously on the local county ballot. (No new legislation needed) Options 1-5 have not undergone any legal tests to date. However, each has been researched by legal counsel representing RCTC, SANBAG, the San Diego Associated Governments (SANDAG), and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). As each option appears legally feasible, their political acceptance by the Legislature is currently uncertain. Senator John Burton recently announced his intention to reduce the two-thirds requirement for local transportation sales tax measures. This past November, Marin, and Sonoma County each had "A + B" measures on their respective ballots. While the expenditure plans for each county passed overwhelmingly (Marin - 63%, Sonoma, 72%), the '/z ratification for each county failed (Marin - 43%, Sonoma, 47%). At the same time, Monterey and San Benito each placed a local transportation sales tax measure requiring two-thirds passage. Each achieved over 50% support but failed to receive the required two-thirds for ratification. Representatives from the Self -Help Counties Coalition, Senator Burton's office, Norm King, Eric Haley, Steve DeBaun, Legal Counsel for RCTC and D.J. Smith, RCTC and SANBAG's Sacramento Advocate, recently met to discuss the options and how to proceed. Senator Burton will present a series of legal questions, relating to options 1-5 above to the Attorney General and Legislative Counsel for a confidential legal opinion. Subsequent to receiving the legal opinion, key legislators will be approached, and a meeting will be scheduled with the anti -tax organization to assess the political ramifications. From these meetings, and additional research, staff will bring forward a specific recommendation to support. BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission support pursuit of a reduction in the current vote requirement for passage of local transportation sales tax measures from two-thirds to 50% Currently, too many legal and political variables exist to specifically select one of several options. 000135 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: February 10, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee' Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Draft Work Plan for the Strategic Plan One of the most ambitious projects for the Commission for the 1999 calendar year will be the development and completion of a comprehensive and countywide Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan will address all major funding sources including sales tax, state and federal funding, possibility of developer fees and any other viable sources of revenue. Projects of regional significance will be identified, prioritized and sequenced. Although many of the major projects will be for highways, rail, regional arterials and new corridors, it is staff's intent that the Strategic Plan will address specialized transportation programs, transit issues, clean air and air quality projects, funding for local rehabilitation and maintenance, and commuter assistance and outreach programs. Staff and the Commission's financial advisors will be prepared to provide an oral presentation that will lay out a suggested approach and time schedule for completion. Staff anticipates completing Phase I of the plan by June 30, 1999 for presentation at the July meeting. Phase II will run on a parallel track with Phase I, and is anticipated to be completed by December 31, 1999. BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1.

It identifies specific performance measures necessary to meet mobility, air quality and other regional goals. Among the various strategies addressed is aviation, highlighting the fact that the capacity of the existing airport system (100 million annual passengers) is projected to experience a shortfall of one-third by 2020. The SCAG Aviation Committee has been the focal point for regional discussion regarding airport expansion options and impacts. Aviation action steps defined in the RTP include the following: • Support expansion of capacity at major existing and potential regional airports to handle anticipated increases in both passenger and freight volume. • Mitigate effects of expanding existing airports and adding military air bases so that community impacts are minimized. • Maximize air passenger and air cargo utilization of outlying airports in less populated areas. • Create a task force to include elected officials from the Regional Council, airport operators and the airlines to further examine aviation issues. At the time the RTP was adopted in April 1998, it was noted that both LAX and El Torro airports were in the process of developing master plans and had not completed capacity modeling analysis. As a result, passenger allocation numbers for the facilities were unconstrained. The RTP further noted that "...substantial growth constraints on these two facilities through 2020 would result in redistribution of air passenger demand to other airports in the regional system...". Today, the LAX Master Plan revision anticipates expanding its passenger activity from a current 60 million to 98 million passengers per year and its cargo activity from a current 1.7 million to 4.2 million tons per year. These projections reflect unconstrained growth which carry significant economic and environmental impacts 0()0146 not just to the surrounding communities of LAX but to the SCAG six county region given the number of subregional airports such as March Air Force Base and their potential ability to minimize the impacts of centralizing airport expansion. In response to the proposed unconstrained expansion of LAX, a coalition of South Bay cities was formed to broaden understanding of the wide-ranging impacts associated with the proposed LAX Master Plan and build a regional coalition of interests to ensure that the RTP action steps are fully met. The coalition is seeking region wide support of its goals through adoption of a resolution calling for the development of a Regional Airport Plan for Southern California. The coalition is represented by Denny Zane of Gladstein and Associates who will be present at the Commission meeting to discuss the issues related to airport expansion and the coalition's resolution. PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission consider adoption of a Resolution No. 99-01, Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Calling For a Regional Airport Plan For Southern California. 00014 7 Pt.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Riverside County Transportation Commission calls upon the communities of Southern California, including the City of Los Angeles, the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura; the State of California; and our Congressional Representatives to join together in developing the Regional Airport Plan for Southern California that constrains LAX to operate within the capacity of its existing facilities and develops the capacity of the many other commercial airports in Southern California to serve the expanding air commerce marketplace.
