RESOLUTION NO. 04-02
REVISED SHASTA COUNTY
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
ACT ALLOCATIONS AND CLAIMS FOR
FY 2002/2003
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 Aunmet 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 Areasonable to meet@; and
WHEREAS, the RTPA made the required
transit needs findings process for each claimant agency in Shasta County for
2002/03 at its April 23, 2002 meeting, as reflected in Resolution No. 02-02;
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 2002/03 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 more than estimated by
$128,261. Additionally, in the 2001/02
True Up RABA requested $300,000 from reserves to purchase El Rancho Motel
property. This amount was deducted from
the claimants in the 2001/2002 True-up.
RABA recorded this amount as an expense in 2002/2003; therefore the
amount is disbursed back to the claimants.
RABA’s actual funding for 5307 was less than estimated by $128,705.
There were decreases in “off-the-top” administration, core planning functions,
and excess sales tax revenue and State Transit Assistance revenue, resulting in
an increase to claimants of $256,402.
Trial services were decreased by $17,643 due to services terminating one
month earlier than estimated. 5311
revenue increased $10 from the original estimate. Burney Express and rural transit administration costs decreased
collectively by $17,565. The overall result is an decrease to RABA of $43,034,
an increase of $10 in 5311 revenue, an increase in Burney Express, and
decreases in rural transit administration, trial services, “off-the-top”
administration costs, core planning functions, and excess cash. These differences collectively result in a
net impact to the agencies of $334,656.
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 2002/03 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 2002/03 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 2002/03.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 27th
day of April, 2004, by the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning
Agency.
