4. PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were no public comments.
5. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (ATP) FINAL STATEWIDE PROJECTS AND METROPOLITAN
PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO) RECOMMENDATION
Lorelle Moe -Luna, RCTC, said that two weeks ago, staff took recommendations to the Commission.
$6.6 million was approved for three projects. They were:
• County Public Health Safe Routes to School Program for Banning and Cabazon
• City of Jurupa Valley's Pacific Avenue Safe Routes to School
• CVAG CV Link
6. SCAG SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING GRANT (SPG) RECOMMENDATIONS UPDATE
Ms. Moe -Luna stated that SCAG's sustainable planning grants program call for projects ended in
November for which there was about $9 Million available. Of that amount, $2.8 Million was coming
from the ATP. RCTC staff assisted SCAG in evaluating the Riverside County applications. The projects
that were planning or non -infrastructure were eligible to be automatically considered for SCAG's SPG
program. In total, there were the three that came from ATP and eight additional projects that were
submitted for a total of 11. As of today, SCAG has not released its final recommendations. It is
anticipated that the recommendations will be available in the next couple of weeks. The draft
recommendations for just the ATP portion are being recommended to go towards the county's safe
routes to school project for eastern Coachella Valley for a total of $348,000.
7. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Jenny Chan, Caltrans, provided a presentation of the Active Transportation Program Reporting
Requirements and responded to various questions.
8. COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE SALT CREEK MULTI -MODAL TRAIL SCOPE MODIFICATION
As part of the 2013 Multi -Funding Call for projects, the Commission approved $5,090,000 for the construction phase
of a 7.2-mile multi -modal urban trail along the Salt Creek Flood Control Channel connecting the
communities of Hemet, Menifee, and Canyon Lake. The proposed project would build a 16 ft. hard
surface Class I bikeway to allow for use by alternate energy vehicles, flanked by 10-12 ft. wide soft
surface decomposed granite pedestrian trail - refer to Exhibit C included in your staff report.
Through the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) submittal, it was determined that the project
would impact sensitive habitat, cultural resources, and jurisdictional waters, resulting in considerable
cost increases to cover environmental mitigation costs associated with the cultural impacts,
additional floodplain analysis, right-of-way acquisition, and installation of pedestrian -activated traffic
signals at three street crossings, in addition to major project delays.
Technical Advisory Committee Meeting
January 23, 2017

In order to move forward with the project implementation, the County is proposing to reduce the
original scope of the project from 7.2-miles to 5.2-miles, reducing the 2-mile length at the easterly
most limits of the project at a location where Domenigoni Parkway in Hemet has sufficient shoulder
width to accommodate bicyclist and pedestrians to allow for continuity and a connection to the
proposed trail along the Salt Creek Channel — refer to Exhibit B included in your staff report. The
western segment between Menifee and Canyon Lake remains the same. Additionally, the 16 ft. hard
surface Class I bikeway will be reduced to 14 ft., and the pedestrian/equestrian trail would be reduced
from 10 ft. to 5 ft.; shoulder will remain at 2 ft. on each side.
M/S/C (Corella/Mohammadi) to approve Riverside County's request to reduce the scope of
work for the Salt Creek Trail.
9. CITY OF RIVERSIDE CMAQ REPROGRAMMING REQUEST FOR THE MAGNOLIA AVENUE TRAFFIC
SIGNAL INTERCONNECT SYSTEM
Ms. Alvarez reported that this agenda item is a request by the city of Riverside to reprogram $637,500
of Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding from the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over
the State Route 91 for preliminary engineering only to the Magnolia Avenue traffic signal interconnect
system.
The Magnolia Avenue Traffic Signal Interconnect is another of the 18 CMAQfunded projects from the
2013 Multi -Funding Call for Projects. The funding requested and approved was $1,387,500
(combination of CMAQ $1,012,500 and MSRC $375,000) for the upgrades of the Magnolia Avenue
traffic signal interconnect system that replaces the outdated copper interconnect with new fiber optic
cable to improve signal synchronization and communications between Buchanan and First Streets
encompassing 49 signalized intersections and spanning approximately 10.4 miles.
The Magnolia Avenue traffic signal interconnect system received federal authorization to proceed
with construction on September 20, 2016. Subsequent to federal funding approval in September
2016, the City proceeded to advertise for construction bids. The bids received exceeded the funding
available to implement the traffic signal interconnect by $826,000. Therefore, the City is requesting
the reprogramming of $637,500 of federal CMAQ funds from the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over SR-
91 to the Magnolia Avenue traffic signal interconnect system to offset the contract increase; the
remaining $188,500 funding shortfall will be covered by the City through a combination of local funds
and Air Quality apportionments.
The pedestrian/bicycle bridge over SR-91 is another CMAQfunded project from the 2013 Multi -
Funding Call for Projects; funding approval was for preliminary engineering in the amount of
$637,500. The preliminary engineering for the pedestrian and bicycle bridge is on hold mainly due
to the Marketplace Specific Plan underway by the city of Riverside. The Marketplace Specific Plan
will determine the feasibility of the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over SR-91.
Additional CMAQ funds can be approved by Caltrans through the contract award package, provided
RCTC approves the obligation of additional funding as a result of high bids. Staff supports the
requested reprogramming request.

(CMAQ) funding from the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over the State Route 91 for preliminary
engineering only to the Magnolia Avenue traffic signal interconnect system.
10. CALTRANS LOCAL ASSISTANCE UPDATE
Sean Yeung, Caltrans, reported there are only four projects listed as inactive and of those four, only
one needs to submit an invoice to Caltrans no later than February 20. The next due date for inactive
projects would be May 19.
11. FEDERAL OBLIGATION PLAN FFY 2016/17
Martha Durbin, RCTC, stated that it is the Commission's goal to help obligate 100 percent of its federal
apportionment every year. She further stated that RCTC and Caltrans meet every month to review
and discuss the status of CMAQ and STP projects awarded through various call for projects that are
part of the FFY 2016/17 obligation plan. If 100 percent of the obligation authority is not utilized,
apportionments/funds may be loaned to other counties per AB 1012. Additionally, if our region
obligates 100 percent or more, Riverside County can also benefit from the State's August Re -
Distribution of OA from FHWA. Staff encourages you to start your federal aid process early in the
year.
Sean Yeung added that on the listing attached to the agenda there is a due date to local assistance
and stated it is acceptable to submit before the due date.
12. 2017 FTIP UPDATE
Ms. Alvarez reported that the 2017 FTIP officially replaced the 2015 FTIP on December 16, 2016, the
date of adoption. She provided SCAG's website http://ftip.scag.ca.gov/Pages/2017/approved.aspx
to view the listing.
13. MEASURE A CIP FY 2017/18 — FY 2021/22 ANNOUNCEMENT
Lorelle Moe -Luna announced that staff will send out the Measure A CIP notice letters on February 6.
14. SB 821 CALL FOR PROJECTS
Ms. Durbin stated that each year two percent of the Local Transportation Fund revenue is set aside
for use on bicycle and pedestrian facility projects through the Commission's SB 821 Program. This
discretionary program is administered by the Commission.
A formal call for projects will be released on February 6 on Planet Bids. Staff will host a technical
workshop at RCTC February 16, 1:30, Conference Room C. Proposals will be due April 27. There is
approximately $3.4 million available.

Ms. Medina reported that the Commission approved FY 2016/17 revenue projections outlined in
the January 11 staff report.
• FY 18 REVENUE PROJECTIONS
Ms. Medina reported that the Commission approved FY 2017/18 revenue projections for
Measure A, LTF, and TUMF as outlined in the January 11 staff report provided.
She further reported that there was discussion regarding the MPO/ATP recommendations. There
were advocates who provided testimony to disqualify CV Link from the MPO recommendations. The
Commission recommended and supports the project. SCAG is expected to present a final
recommendation on February 2 and finally approved at the CTC meeting of March 15-16.
17. OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Commission meeting and workshop will be held in Palm Springs this Thursday and Friday,
January 26 and 27. The Commission meeting will start at 1:30 followed by the workshop.
At the January 18 CTC meeting, there was discussion regarding the 2018 STIP. It is hoped there will
not be another negative STIP and that there will be funds to make whole the projects that were
reduced or deleted from the last STIP cycle. We had to remove over $30 million from the I-15/French
Valley Interchange and it is hoped those funds will be restored. RCTC has been working with the
legislators on increasing revenue for transportation. She encouraged the TAC members to meet with
their representatives to at least get funding for rehabilitation -type projects. The next priority is to
increase funding for the STIP.

At the January CTC meeting, there was an ATP project from the city of Laguna Hills funded in Cycle 1
in which a scope change was requested. The CTC denied the request.
In response to a question regarding CMAQ, Ms. Medina stated staff can provide an update on
projections; however, currently most of the CMAQ funds have been committed. Over $100 million is
expected to be obligated this year for the 1-15 Express Lanes. RCTC is expecting guidance from the
long-range transportation planning efforts that will be started this year.
Martha Durbin said she has a list of the projects that were awarded SB821 in 2015/16. She
recommended looking at her list to see if extensions are needed, etc.

AGENDA ITEM 5
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: March 20, 2017
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Senior Management Analyst, Planning and Programming
SUBJECT: Riverside County Travel Demand Model (RIVTAM) Update by the Western
Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide input on the RIVTAM Update.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The initial development of RIVTAM began in 2009 and was a collaborative effort involving six
agencies: County of Riverside, RCTC, WRCOG, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG), the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the California Department
of Transportations (Caltrans). The primary goal of developing RIVTAM was to provide a greater level
of detail for land use and transportation forecasting in Riverside County, while maintaining
consistency with the SCAG Regional Transportation Model (RTM). At the time the model was
finalized, it used the most recent data from the SCAG Regional Transportation Model (RTM), which
was Existing Year Data for 2008 and Forecast Year Data for 2035. These forecasts are used in a wide
range of studies including General Plans, Specific Plans, corridor studies, interchange studies,
environmental documents, the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Programs in Western
Riverside and the Coachella Valley, and for locally implemented Development Impact Fees (DIF).
Since the initial model was developed a comprehensive update to RIVTAM has not occurred.
WRCOG has reached out to partner agencies, agency staff from its member jurisdictions, and
conducted a needs assessment survey, and the feedback received supports the need to undergo a
RIVTAM update. WRCOG has a vested interest in committing financial resources and staff time to
support the RIVTAM update because future TUMF Nexus Studies rely heavily on updated regional
travel demand models and member agencies have expressed a strong desire to use RIVTAM for a
variety of planning and infrastructure projects.
WRCOG has had initial discussions with the partner agencies regarding their interest in participating
in an update of RIVTAM and would like to finalize those discussions so the RIVTAM update process
can begin. Some key issues that need to be fina lized are as follows:
Are jurisdictions in the Coachella Valley interested in a RIVTAM update?
Which agencies are available to contribute financially to an update?
Which agencies would like to participate in the update process?
Does the existing RIVTAM MOU require restructuring?
Is there concurrence on the model elements to be updated?

Transportation Director Report
Why does RIVTAM need to be updated?
•Significant challenge facing agencies is the need to develop long-terms
forecasts of future travel behavior using socio-economic and transportation data
-Since 2008 was beginning of the Great Recession, many assumptions
incorporated into the model may be considered aggressive related to land
use assumptions
•Utilized to ensure transportation projects are planned, designed, and
constructed based on best forecasts available
•Models require regular updates to remain relevant and reflect the current state
of infrastructure
-RCTC and CVAG continue to build projects that expand the transportation
network

RIVTAM Needs Assessment –Survey Results
•Survey respondents indicate several features of RIVTAM should be kept –model
is user-friendly
•Feedback on a possible RIVTAM update, responses had overarching themes:
1.Update is needed for consistency –SCAG TDM, RTP/SCS, CEQA challenges
2.Updates are needed to update network and SED
3.When an update is developed, transparency is needed (in the form of
documentation and make source files available to all users)
4.Update should reflect emerging transportation trends –multi-modal
transportation planning, ride-sourcing, automated vehicles

Conclusion
•Based on feedback from MOU signatories, discussions with agency staff in
Western Riverside County, and the surveys, there is a strong desire to undergo a
RIVTAM update.
•RIVTAM Update Work Plan has been drafted and shared with MOU signatories
for review and comment.
•Work Plan is to further define how an update might occur and contains two
elements:
1.Series of model specifications which the RIVTAM will have to meet.
2.Scope of Work for RIVTAM update.
•Two advantages to approach in Work Plan:
1.Encourages technical experts to recommend innovative approaches and identify best
practices that have been implemented
2.Allows a more expansive discussion of tradeoffs when evaluating a proposed cost

AGENDA ITEM 6
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: March 20, 2017
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Regional Truck Study and Development and Implementation of a Regional
Logistics Mitigation Fee
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In July 2016, the Commission, the county of Riverside (County), city of Moreno Valley
(Moreno Valley), and Highland Fairview entities came to a settlement agreement in response to
litigation involving the World Logistics Center (WLC). The Commission and the County had filed suit
challenging the environmental impact report in order to ensure adequate mitigation to address
added impacts created by the WLC project. Additional lawsuits were f iled by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District and a number of environmental organizations.
The eventual settlement agreement was finalized to provide needed funding for infrastructure efforts
that would help mitigate the impacts of this kind of development throughout the County and to do so
in a way that would encourage ongoing economic development and job creation for County
residents.
A key provision of the settlement requires the Commission, the County, Moreno Valley,
and Highland Fairview to conduct a regional transportation study to evaluate a logistics-related
regional fee. A result of the study could be a new a program that the County and cities in the County
could adopt. Such a program would, for example, set a fee on new distribution ce nter warehouses,
based on facility size, to help pay for road improvements.
If the County or at least 75 percent of the Commission’s member cities adopt a regional warehouse
fee within two years after a final court judgment is issued, Highland Fairview will pay 65 cents per
square foot for each operating warehouse within the WLC. If no regional fee is adopted, the fee
would be 50 cents per square foot. Proceeds would be used for projects identified as part of the
regional truck study.
The County, Moreno Valley, and Highland Fairview are each required to pay $250,000 to the
Commission to conduct the regional transportation study and evaluate the potential for a regional,
logistics-related fee on distribution centers and warehouses. The Commission is als o required to
contribute $250,000 to the effort.
As per the terms of the agreement, Moreno Valley and Highland Fairview’s payment toward the
regional study is required to be made no more than 60 days after a final judgment determines that
the WLC’s EIR fully complies with state environmental law and that the WLC may legally proceed. A
final judgment has not been reached since litigation between Moreno Valley, Highland Fairview, and
a number of environmental groups has not been resolved.
Moreno Valley and Highland Fairview also must pay $100,000 each for logistics-related studies. Of
that, $100,000 will pay for truck and logistics-related studies by the Center for Environmental
Research and Technology. The Community Translational Research Institute will use the other
$100,000 for public health research and programs.
The settlement agreement also requires another $3 million to be paid to the Commission,
$2 million of which would be used for engineering studies and project development work for
expanding State Route 60 between the Interstate 215 and Gilman Springs Road. The other
$1 million would go toward the same work for the Theodore Street interchange at SR -60.
Those amounts will be paid within 10 days after a certificate of occupancy is issued for the
4 million square foot of warehouse space within the WLC.
All told, the overall settlement between the Commission, the County, Moreno Valley, and Highland
Fairview has the potential of generating as much as $26.4 million for regional transportation
improvements from this single development. Approval of a regional fee would then have the
potential of generating additional revenue on similar developments in the future.
Implementing the Study
Long before a fee program can ever be instituted is the need for a stud y that quantifies the
magnitude of future, similar developments throughout Riverside County, and the anticipated truck
traffic impacts of these developments on major highway facilities. While the study effort will involve
extensive evaluation of the impacts of logistics-related development on the highway network in
Riverside County, the study's core focus will be establishing a nexus for an impact fee program to
mitigate the anticipated truck traffic impacts.
The parameters of what needs to be studied are stipulated in the California Mitigation Fee Act and
have been strengthened by subsequent decisions in state and federal courts. The standard for
determining a fee requires the nexus demonstrate rough proportionality between the impact being
created and the level of mitigation to resolve the impact. This means the process for determining the
fee is not intended to be an exact science, but rather a fair and balanced estimation.
Only impacts attributable to new warehousing and logistics development within Riverside County will
be assessed by the fee. The California Mitigation Fee Act explicitly requires that existing needs must
be accounted for and cannot be the responsibility of new development for mitigation. Similarly, the
impacts created by new development outside of the County and resulting in trips that pass through
the County cannot be made the responsibility of new development in Riverside County to mitigate
(unless a portion of the trip is accessing new development within the County). Differentiating the
impacts of new Riverside County logistics developments from all other traffic effects will be the
primary technical challenge of this study.
Fee programs must be established using a fair, sound, and rational methodology, and must not be
determined arbitrarily and capriciously. In practice, this means that fees must be evidence -based or
risk being thrown out by the courts.
The California Mitigation Fee Act specifies that revenues generated by an impact fee program must
be expended within five years. Recognizing projects on the region's freeways to accommodate
additional truck trips can be very costly; a considerable portion of the need for these improvements
may be determined to be attributable to existing needs, other unrelated development activi ty,
and/or pass through trips; and that the revenues from warehouse and logistics uses may be limited
by the rate of development activity, it will be necessary to consider a full range of project types as
well as the potential cash flows associated with a fee, along with other established funding programs,
to ensure a program of projects can be delivered in a time frame that satisfies the requirements for
revenue expenditures.
Moreover, Riverside County is home to two other regional transportation mitigation fee programs –
the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) and the Coachella
Valley TUMF – which are often referred to as the TUMF programs. A regional logistics fee as
established in the settlement agreement is intended to be separate and apart from the existing TUMF
programs and special care will be needed to ensure that a new program will not impact nor harm
either program.
Once these formidable technical challenges are addressed, the Commission and cities throughout th e
County will then be faced with the question of whether or not to implement a regional truck fee
program. As previously stated, if the County or 75 percent of the incorporated cities approve a
regional program, there is a significant difference in the mitigation fee that would be paid by
Highland Fairview.
Next Steps
On January 26, 2017, the Commission approved the award of the study to Parsons Brinkerhoff, Inc.
for a two-year term, in a total amount not to exceed $975,000.
The WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc. proposal and subsequent scope of work include s five tasks:
1) Existing and Future Conditions Analysis;
2) Funding Cost Analysis;
3) Preparation of the Nexus Study;
4) Developing a Fee Allocation Structure and Implementing Mechanism; and
5) Study Recommendations.
The study is anticipated to be completed June 2018. As the study moves forward, staff will return to
the TAC for feedback and regular updates, and may request volunteers to participate in the Study
Advisory Team.

AGENDA ITEM 8
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: March 20, 2017
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Grace Alvarez, Planning and Programming Manager
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
SUBJECT: Multi-Funding Call for Projects Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On January 8, 2014, the Commission approved the TAC’s recommendations for the Multi -Funding Call
for Projects Awards for federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Surface Transportation
Program (STP), 2009 Western Riverside County Measure A Regional Arterials (MARA), and Mobile
Source Reduction Committee (MSRC) funds that became available to the Commission in May 2014.
There were 33 projects awarded for a combined funding of $148 million. Agreements with the awarded
agencies were subsequently executed. The agreements included project descriptions, project
milestones for project implementation, funding breakdown, and a clause about utilization of funds ,
Section 3.2.C stating:
C. Cost Savings. In the event that bids for the Project are lower than anticipat ed, or there
are cost savings for any other reason, the Funding Plan shall be revised to apply such cost
savings proportionately to each funding source listed in the Funding Plan. Agency shall inform
RCTC of any cost savings and the parties shall amend this Agreement to reflect the revisions to
the Funding Plan. RCTC’s Executive Director and the Agency Manager shall be authorized to
execute any such amendment.
The project savings needed to be captured as the Commission approved funding exceeding the tota l
available STP and MARA funds by approximately $12.3 million. Four projects have followed the
executed agreement terms providing a funding adjustment at contract award and/or project closeout,
resulting in savings of $3.15 million.
As the agencies continue to move forward with the project implementation, staff reminds you to notify
the Planning and Programming staff of any cost savings at contract award. Currently, there are
fourteen projects remaining to be obligated utilizing federal CMAQ and STP. We look forward to assist
you with your agencies project implementation process under the Multi-Funding Call for Projects.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: March 20, 2017
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Senior Management Analyst, Planning and Programming
SUBJECT: Measure A CIP FY 2017/18 – 2021/22
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Five-Year Measure A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) submittal is an annual requirement that
is due this year on Monday, May 8, 2017. A letter was mailed on February 6, 2017 addressed to City
Managers, Finance Directors, and Public Works Directors/City Engineers outlining the requirements
for approval. An additional follow-up email was also sent on February 6, 2017 to the Public Works
Directors/City Engineers and other staff that we are aware of who provided Measu re A CIP
information in the past.
Upon submittal, please be sure to include the following:
1. Submittal letter/memo on Agency letterhead – Attn: Lorelle Moe-Luna
2. 5-year CIP for FYs 2018-2022 and Project Status Report for FY 2017 (Return in Excel. Excel
template was emailed.)
3. MOE certification statement (Return signed in PDF. Word template was emailed.)
Measure A disbursements cannot be made for the fiscal year until the Commission has received and
approved a Five-Year CIP, MOE certification, and confirmed participation in the Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program and Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).
Attachment: Measure A CIP FY 2017/18 – 2021/22 Notification Letter to Local Agencies
dated February 6, 2017
DATE: February 6, 2017
TO: All Measure A Local Streets and Roads Fund Recipients
City Managers, Finance Directors, and Public Works Directors /City Engineers
FROM: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Senior Management Analyst, Planning and Programming
Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: MEASURE A LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS REVENUE PROJECTIONS,
MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT CERTIFICATION, and FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PLANS (FYs 2017/18 – 2021/22)
The requirements for receipt of Measure A Local Streets and Roads funding are:
1) Submittal of the local agency Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP);
2) Project Status Report for FY 2016/17 CIP projects;
3) Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Certification; and
4) Participation in the MSHCP and TUMF programs, as applicable.
The Five-Year CIP should be developed using the Measure A revenue projections (Attachment A).
The MOE certification is based on the 2009 Measure A MOE base year amount, which is identified
in the MOE certification statement included in this packet (Attachment C). Commission staff will
contact WRCOG, CVAG, and RCA for verification of local agency participation in the applicable
MSHCP and TUMF programs.
FY 2017/18– 2021/22 Measure A Five-Year CIP
The Five-Year CIP is a list of proposed uses for the Measure A Local Streets and Roads
funds and must be based on the attached revenue projections (Attachment A). The CIP
projects must be listed per fiscal year using the format provided in Attachment B.
The project descriptions should be specific enough to ensure that recipients are properly
planning capital expenditures and reporting such plans to the Commission. Accordingly,
some projects will require more specific descriptions (e.g. Main Street and 1st Street
intersection improvements, drainage improvements, or new traffic signal) while other
projects may only require general descriptions (e.g. City-wide Street Slurry Seal/Crack
Program).
If overhead or indirect costs, not attributable to a specific CIP, are expected to be charged
to Measure A, the indirect costs must be included as a separate CIP item to be an eligible
cost. RCTC’s policy is that such costs are limited to the lower of the jurisdiction’s
Page 2 of 3
Measure A CIP/MOE Notification FY 2017/18 – 2021/22
calculated rate or 8% of annual Measure A revenues. Additionally, such overhead costs
must be based on actual costs for that fiscal year and are subject to specific audit review.
Any projects listed on prior year plans, which are active (not completed - Measure A not
fully expended), should be included in the current five-year plan (carried over), along
with the associated funding anticipated to be expended in the current five-year plan.
FY 2017/18 MOE Certification Statement
The Measure A Ordinance requires annual certification that discretionary General Fund
expenditures for transportation-related construction and maintenance activities for Fiscal Year
2017/18 will meet or exceed the MOE Base Year amount. Funds withheld from a local agency for
failure to meet its MOE Base Year requirement will be redistributed in accordance with Ordinance
No. 02-001 within the Measure A area in which the agency is located (Western County, Coachella
Valley, or Palo Verde Valley). However, if an agency has excess MOE balance from exceeding
prior years MOE, some of the excess MOE balance can be utilized to make up the deficiency in
the current year MOE (refer to your city’s FY 2015/16 Independent Accountant’s Report for MOE
balance).
The MOE Certification Statement is part of the MOE process. The Commission’s auditor will
perform agreed-upon procedures related to Measure A following the end of the fiscal year. At
that time, the fiscal year’s actual MOE expenditures will be compared to the MOE base year, and
the local agency will be required to provide a summary of that fiscal year’s MOE expenditures in
a format consistent with the MOE base year format.
Project Status Report
The Commission must also receive a Project Status Report (sample included in Attachment B) on
the FY 2016/17 CIP projects. The purpose of this report is to document progress to date on
engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and construction; problems encountered (if any); and
completion date and/or anticipated completion date. Projects that are not completed as
previously anticipated in FY 2016/17 should be carried over to the following fiscal year(s)
Measure A CIPs, if Measure A funds will continue to be utilized to complete the project.
Submittal Deadlines
The timeline for approval of the Five-Year CIP is as follows:
• Monday, May 8, 2017 – Submit the following by email to Lorelle Moe-Luna, lmoe-
luna@rctc.org:
1. Submittal Letter on Agency Letterhead, Attention: Lorelle Moe-Luna
2. Five-Year CIP for FY 2017/18 – 2021/22 and Project Status Report for FY
2016/17 (Excel file)
3. MOE Certification Statement (signed PDF)
• June/July 2016 – Committee/Commission review and approval of Five-Year CIPs
