RESOLUTION NO. 01-06

REVISED SHASTA COUNTY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY

TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT ALLOCATIONS AND CLAIMS FOR

FY 1999/00

WHEREAS, Section 99230 of the California Public Utilities Code (PUC) requires that each transportation planning agency shall annually determine the amount of LTF funds to be allocated to each claimant, from an analysis and evaluation of the total amount anticipated to be available in the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the relative needs of each claimant for the purposes for which the fund is intended, and consistent with the provisions of the law; and

WHEREAS, PUC Section 99231 and the California Code of Regulations, Section 6655 require that the transportation planning agency shall allocate to a claimant for a given area only such moneys as represent that area's apportionment; and

WHEREAS, the provisions of PUC Section 99401.5 require that the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) annually review and make findings concerning "unmet transit needs" in each claimant jurisdiction and, prior to making any LTF allocations to claimants for street and road purposes, fund such unmet transit needs in each claimant jurisdiction as have been found "reasonable to meet"; and

WHEREAS, the RTPA made the required transit needs findings process for each claimant agency in Shasta County for 1999/00 at its April 24, 2000 meeting, as reflected in Resolution No. 9-00; and

WHEREAS, the resulting proposed LTF allocations to the claimant jurisdictions will fund all identified transit needs that can be reasonably funded, and only thereafter will LTF monies be made available for eligible streets and road purposes; and

WHEREAS, these revisions to the 1999/00 TDA allocations to the claimants maintain the existing level of transit service previously determined by the RTPA to be reasonable to meet; However, specified true-ups are proposed to more accurately reflect actual transit expenses incurred since the original claims were adopted. Actual expenses were agreed to audited financial statements and compared to the original filing. RABA costs were greater than estimated by $1,566,998. TDA funds received were actually $4,803,856, which is $217,630 greater than estimated. Additionally, funding for $2,525,475 of capital items acquired is also a portion of this true-up of TDA allocations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency:

(1) Determines that the 80% service hours/20% population-based cost sharing formula represents the cost sharing alternative which reflects the most equitable distribution of RABA service area costs to the claimant agencies in light of the transit system benefits each will realize from the RABA provided services; and

(2) Approves the true-up to the 1999/00 claims as summarized in Schedule A and better reflect actual transit costs incurred to date.

(3) Approves allocations for each claimant jurisdiction that are consistent with and reflected in the 1999/00 TDA Budget attached as Schedule B; and

(4) Approves the claims for TDA funds as submitted by claimants for transit funds in the amounts not exceeding those shown on Schedule B for fiscal year 1999/00.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 24th day of April 2001, by the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency.
