FROM: Isael Ojeda, Senior Planner Chris Jasper, Assistant Planner

DATE: October 30, 2019

SUBJECT: Contract with Nelson Nygaard Consulting Associates for the StanCOG Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend that the Policy Board adopt a Resolution to authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute a contract with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates for a cost not-to-exceed $275,000 for the preparation and execution of the StanCOG Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign.

Background

In 2016, StanCOG applied for and received a grant from the Active Transportation Program’s Metropolitan Planning Organization component to launch a Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Education Campaign. The project will implement an advertising campaign focusing on promoting safe roadway behaviors, a minimum of four open street events, and a regional safety summit to discuss the Stanislaus region’s top roadway safety concerns with local, State, and federal stakeholder participation. The project will also include the development and dissemination of a local planning and implementation toolkit and a final report that documents the events held throughout the campaign.

StanCOG staff released a Request for Proposal on September 6, 2019 to obtain the professional services of a qualified consultant to support the development of the campaign. The consultant will develop and deploy the creative collateral associated with the campaign; collect and analyze geospatial data related to roadway safety; provide event planning assistance; and develop the regional planning and implementation toolkit and final report. The campaign and its associated events are anticipated to be held in the Spring and Summer of 2020, with project completion anticipated in the Fall of 2020.

SUBJECT: Amendment 1 Subrecipient Agreement between StanCOG and the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency for the Expenditure of Fiscal Years 2010-12 Job Access and Reverse Commute (FTA Section 5316) Funds

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend the Policy Board adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute Amendment 1 to the Subrecipient Agreement between StanCOG and the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency for the expenditure of Fiscal Years 2010-12 Job Access and Reverse Commute (FTA Section 5316).

Background

Pursuant to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), and as continued by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), StanCOG serves as the designated recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC), FTA Section 5316 grant program funds for the Modesto Urbanized Area (UZA). As the designated recipient, StanCOG administered a competitive grant application process in order to award JARC grant funding to eligible service providers in the Modesto UZA. On February 13, 2014, StanCOG initiated two Call for Projects cycles for FYs 2010-12 JARC grant funds that were apportioned to the Modesto UZA under SAFETEA-LU.

The JARC grant program provides funding to support projects designed to reverse commute recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from employment related activities that are located in suburban and rural job locations. Eligible activities include mobility management, capital, planning or operating costs of services and facilities that improve mobility for reverse commuters and low-income individuals for employment-related trips.

In March 2014, StanCOG received a grant application submitted by Paratransit, Inc., while serving as the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) for the Stanislaus County region. The project contained in the application was evaluated by StanCOG staff for eligibility and selected for funding.

13

Item 4C

On September 21, 2017, the StanCOG Policy Board adopted Resolution 17-05 terminating the agreement with Paratransit, Inc. and approving MOVE Stanislaus, Inc. as the new CTSA effective November 1, 2017. On June 20, 2018 the StanCOG Policy Board approved transferring the remaining JARC 2010-2012 Grant Funds in the amount of $586,494 to MOVE Stanislaus, Inc. to continue the travel training program for the Stanislaus Region. This included $249,059 to fund travel training for the state’s Wheels to Work Program. This program was later eliminated by the state.

Discussion:

In August 2019, StanCOG staff submitted a request to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to change the scope of work and extend the timeframe to utilize grant funding previously awarded for participation in the Wheels to Work program to continue funding the MOVE’s travel training program. The FTA approved the amendment in September 2019, reallocating total funds of $237,106 for travel training. This provides approximately three additional years of funding for the program currently funded by the grant. The amendment changes the JARC FTA Section 5310 Fiscal Years 2010-2012 to 480,170.

DISCUSSION & ACTION ITEMS

17


FROM: Elisabeth Hahn, Deputy Director of Planning and Programming


SUBJECT: 2019 Update of Measure L Strategic Plan

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend that the Policy Board adopt by Resolution the 2019 Update of the Measure L Strategic Plan.

Background

One of the taxpayer safeguards included in the Measure L Expenditure Plan to ensure that the projects and programs approved by voters are funded and delivered is a requirement that StanCOG prepare and adopt a Strategic Plan. The first Strategic Plan was adopted by the Policy Board on March 29, 2018. The StanCOG Board directed that the Strategic Plan be updated after the fall 2018 elections when the fate of SB 1 would be known. A repeal of SB 1 (Proposition 6 on the ballot) would have eliminated the competitive funding programs that are needed to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in matching funds for the 16 Measure L regional projects. If SB 1 survived repeal, the Board directed that StanCOG consider updating the Plan to use unprogrammed Measure L Regional Control program capacity to advance other regional projects to “shovel ready” status and position them to compete for SB 1 matching funds. Because the repeal of SB 1 with Proposition 6 failed at the ballot, the 2019 Strategic Plan Update was initiated to comply with Board direction.

Discussion

The 2018 Strategic Plan focused resources on funding the highest priority regional project in the Measure L Expenditure Plan, the SR 132 project, from SR 99 to Gates Road. This one project will be delivered as three phases. The only other regional Measure L project the Board approved to be

18

Item 5A

advanced in the first 11 years is the McHenry Avenue widening project. It would extend the benefits of a widening project constructed in San Joaquin County from the City of Escalon across the Stanislaus River Bridge. The Measure L project would widen McHenry Avenue between the bridge and Ladd Road (SR 108) to five lanes. All Measure L allocations for SR 132 and McHenry Avenue were to be made using a “Pay-As-You-Go” financing methodology.

The attached 2019 Strategic Plan Update continues to focus resources on fully funding the highest priority Measure L regional project, SR 132. Other projects will be allowed to advance only so long as they do not compete with it for Measure L or matching funds. The McHenry Avenue project remains “grandfathered in” to this strategy. This project will be allowed to advance to construction in FY 20-21 because it does not compete for future matching funds with SR 132. Four other projects will be allocated Regional Control funding to advance them to shovel ready status so long as they do not compete with SR-132 for Measure L or matching funds.

o North County Corridor Phase 1o SR 99 Briggsmore Interchangeo SR 99 Standiford Interchangeo SR 99 Mitchell-Service Interchange

The allocation of Measure L Regional Control cash flow capacity to fund construction of these four projects will be deferred until their progress can be evaluated during the next Strategic Plan update, planned for 2021 to coincide with the development of the 2022 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). All new RTIP revenues will be dedicated to the SR 132 project until it is fully funded to provide an additional funding source for the project. A Pay-As-You-Go approach will be used focused on delivering the SR-132 and McHenry Avenue projects and advancing the four above-named projects to shovel ready status to compete for SB-1 matching funds. To facilitate a Pay-As-You-Go approach, the Expenditure Plan will be amended to change the eligible uses of Measure L Regional Control funding on the North County Corridor project from Design and Right of Way to Right of Way and Construction of North County Corridor Phase 1 (Coffee Rd. to Claus Rd.). Also to benefit positive cash flow and a Pay-As-You-Go approach, the $31.8 million in Measure L reimbursement payments to the City of Modesto for construction of SR-132 Phase 1 are spread over FY 19/20 to FY 21/22 and “capped” per each fiscal year in the Measure L Regional Project Cooperative Agreement between StanCOG and the City.

In 2019, the Strategic Plan Update has been the subject of discussion at Management and Finance Committee meetings, meetings of the Measure L Working Group, and at Policy Board meetings and workshops. The Working Group was established to steer emerging Measure L policy issues in 2019, including the 2019 Strategic Plan Update. The Working Group consisted of Board members from Modesto and Riverbank and the city managers from Modesto, Ceres, Riverbank, Turlock, and Waterford. The Committee met periodically to provide direction to StanCOG staff during the update of the Strategic Plan. A consensus emerged at the Working Group on an updated strategy for delivering Measure L’s regional projects which is incorporated into the 2019 Strategic Plan Update document.

Executive Summary

The first Measure L Strategic Plan covering FY 18/19 to FY 27/28 was adopted by the StanCOG

Policy Board on March 29, 2018. It focused on funding the highest priority regional project in

the Measure L Expenditure Plan, the SR-132 project, from SR-99 to Gates Road with the

estimated $11 million in annual revenues remaining after pass-through payments are made to

local agencies. This one project will be delivered as three phases. The only other regional

Measure L project the Policy Board approved to be advanced in Measure L’s first 10 years was

the McHenry Avenue widening project. It would extend the benefits of a four lane widening

project on McHenry Avenue constructed in San Joaquin County from the City of Escalon across

the Stanislaus River Bridge. In Stanislaus County, McHenry Avenue would be widened to five

lane from the bridge to State Route108 \Ladd Road. All Measure L allocations for SR-132 and

McHenry Avenue were to be made using a “Pay-As-You-Go” financing methodology.

In adopting the Plan in 2018, the Policy Board directed that the Strategic Plan be updated after

the fall 2018 elections when the fate of Senate Bill 1 (SB-1) would be known. A repeal of SB-1

(as Proposition 6 on the ballot) would have eliminated the competitive funding programs that are

needed to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in matching funds for the 16 Measure L

Regional Control projects that were promised to Stanislaus County voters. If SB-1 survived

repeal, the Board wanted to revisit the Strategic Plan and consider amending the Plan to use

unprogrammed Measure L Regional Control program capacity to advance other regional projects

to “shovel ready” status and position them to compete for SB-1 matching funds. Because the

repeal of SB-1 as Proposition 6 failed at the ballot, the 2019 Update was initiated to comply with

Board direction.

The Board created a Working Group to steer the 2019 Strategic Plan update. It consisted of

Board members from Modesto and Riverbank and the city managers from Modesto, Ceres,

Riverbank, Turlock, and Waterford. The Committee met periodically to provide direction to

StanCOG staff during the update of the Strategic Plan. A consensus emerged at the Working

Group on an updated strategy for delivering Measure L’s regional projects, which was adopted

by the Policy Board. Elements of the strategy pertaining to Project Prioritization, Matching

Funds, and Financing Methodology are summarized as follows:

Project Prioritization

Focus resources on fully funding the highest priority Measure L regional project, SR-132.

Other projects will be allowed to advance only so long as they do not compete with it for

Measure L or matching funds.

The McHenry Avenue project remains “grandfathered in” to this strategy. This project will

be allowed to advance to construction in FY 20-21 because it does not compete for future

matching funds with SR-132.

21

Four other projects will be allocated Regional Control funding to advance them to shovel

ready status so long as they do not compete with SR-132 for Measure L or matching funds.

o North County Corridor Phase 1

o SR-99 Briggsmore Interchange

o SR-99 Standiford Interchange

o SR-99 Mitchell-Service Interchange

Defer allocating Measure L cash flow capacity to fund construction of these four projects until their

progress can be evaluated during the next Strategic Plan update, planned for 2021.

Matching Funds \ Use of Formula State Gas Taxes (RTIP)

All new RTIP revenues will be dedicated to the SR-132 project until it is fully funded, as a match to

Measure L funds allocated to the project in the Expenditure Plan.

Financing Methodology

A Pay-As-You-Go approach will be used focused on delivering the SR-132 and McHenry

Avenue projects and advancing the four above-named projects to shovel ready status to

compete for SB-1 matching funds.

To facilitate a Pay-As-You-Go approach, the Expenditure Plan will be amended to change

the eligible uses of Measure L Regional Control funding on the North County Corridor

project from Design and Right of Way to Right of Way and Construction of North County

Corridor Phase 1 (Coffee Rd. to Claus Rd.).

Also to facilitate a Pay-As-You-Go approach, the $31.8 million in Measure L reimbursement

payments to the City of Modesto for construction of SR-132 Phase 1 are spread over FY

19/20 to FY 21/22 and “capped” per each fiscal year in the Measure L Regional Project

Cooperative Agreement between StanCOG and the City.

Every two years, at the same time that the Regional Transportation Improvement Program

(RTIP) is updated, the Strategic Plan will be simultaneously updated to capture two new years of

Measure L and RTIP revenues. When Measure L and RTIP capacity is available within the new

10 year horizon, regional measure projects may be added to the plan. The next update is

scheduled to coincide with the 2022 RTIP and should begin in late 2021.

1. Introduction

Voter passage in November 2016 of the Local Roads First Transportation Funding Measure,

referred to as Measure L, will provide approximately $960 million for transportation needs over

25 years within Stanislaus County, from 2017-2042. The dedicated sales tax revenue generated

will help leverage and match an estimated $842 million in state and federal funds. The measure

went into effect and revenues began to be collected on April 1, 2017. Funds will be spent in

accordance with the Expenditure Plan that was part of the measure ordinance.

The Expenditure Plan identified projects and programs that will receive Measure L revenue and

the amounts they will receive, but not the priority order in which they will receive funds.

Recognizing that not all $1.8 billion in projects can be delivered at the outset of the program, one

of the taxpayer safeguards included in the Measure L Expenditure Plan to ensure that the projects

and programs approved by voters are funded and delivered is a requirement that the Stanislaus

Council of Governments (StanCOG), the Local Transportation Authority responsible for the

measure’s administration, prepare and adopt a Strategic Plan. The Plan must spell out how

StanCOG will synchronize the receipt of measure funds with pass-through payments to local

agencies, large, periodic and occasionally overlapping expenses for regional projects, the use of

state or federal formula funds received by StanCOG, and the securing of “outside” state and

federal grants. The Strategic Plan is to include, among other items, a draft timeline for regional

project delivery, cost estimates, and revenue estimates. The first Strategic Plan was adopted on

March 29, 2018. This document contains the updated, 2019 Strategic Plan for the Measure L

program.

2. Purposes of the Strategic Plan

Per the Expenditure Plan:

“The Strategic Plan will include project cost estimates, revenue estimates, other matching funds, and a

draft timeline for regional project delivery. Its prime purpose is to clarify program and project costs,

schedule, financial plans and project readiness to expedite project delivery and to allow projects that are

“ready” to proceed forward within the parameters of the Expenditure Plan.”

Strategic Plans prepared for transportation sales tax measures typically focus on scheduling a

measure’s regional projects for delivery by weighing each project’s cost, priority and readiness

with the estimated cash flow of measure funds and the estimated availability of matching funds.

Strategic Plans highlight the fiscal years when cash flow is adequate or when shortfalls are

projected to occur, and build consensus on whether to use a “Pay-As-You-Go” strategy and

advance or delay projects to correspond with cash flow, or use a debt financing\bonding strategy

to deliver projects even during periods when cash shortfalls are projected to occur. Through the

preparation of Strategic Plans, transportation sales tax authorities and regional project sponsors

also typically reach a consensus on which projects will apply for competitive state and federal

funding sources and in what cycles.

24


3. Regional Control – Regional Projects Category

Included in the array of promised improvements in Measure L are 16 regional projects that are

identified in the Expenditure Plan resulting from a combination of public outreach, local agency

priorities and StanCOG Board direction. They have been allocated 28%, or approximately $269

million, of the measure’s total estimated revenues. These funds will be used for planning,

project development, right-of-way, and/or construction of the 16 projects. Funds will be

distributed to the projects according to the amounts included in the Expenditure Plan with

approximately $30,000,000 left in reserve to accommodate future regional needs.

As these projects move through the complex project development and delivery process we have

in California, they will require periodic infusions of millions of dollars of measure funding,

drawing down the entire measure program’s cash balance, potentially creating negative balances.

Yet at the same time, a steady stream of measure revenues representing the other 72% of planned

expenditures must be passed through continuously to local agencies for road repairs, bicycle

improvements, traffic management improvements and transit services, as promised in Measure

L. A careful synchronization of planned expenditures with estimated revenues will be required

to ensure that the funds are available for all of these purposes in a timely manner and that the

entire program of improvements can be completed within 25 years.

Adding to the complexity of the task, Measure L, as passed by voters, does not specify the date

or order that the 16 projects are to be delivered. Furthermore, Measure L only partly funds the

16 regional projects. An estimated $750 million in state, federal, or other local revenues must be

secured to fully fund the regional projects. Some of these funds are apportioned by formula and

the amount of funds to be received and the timing of their arrival can be reasonably predicted by

StanCOG and matched with planned Measure L expenditures. However, apportioned funds are

not anticipated to be enough to fully fund the regional projects. “Outside” funding from

competitive state and federal grant programs will be needed to complete most of the projects.

The sheer magnitude of the funding needed to match the Measure L allocations in the

Expenditure Plan will require StanCOG to develop a strategy unto itself for securing these funds.

And the sporadic availability of these funds, based on project selection decisions made in

Sacramento and Washington D.C., will to a large extent determine when over Measure L’s 25

years the 16 regional projects can be delivered.

4. Priority Regional Projects

During development of the 2019 Strategic Plan update, as with the development of the 2018

Strategic plan, seven of the 16 regional projects were “nominated” to be considered for delivery

in the measure’s first 10 years based on interviews with StanCOG and local agency staff and

direction from the Policy Board. The projects, and their Measure L funding amounts, are:

SR-132 (SR 99 to Gates Rd.) $74.3 mil.

North County Corridor $59.8 mil.

25


Faith Home Road $17.9 mil.

SR-99 Briggsmore Interchange $24.9 mil.

SR-99 Mitchell Service Road Interchange $30.7 mil.

McHenry Avenue (Ladd Rd. to Hogue Rd.) $2.6 mil.

SR-99 Standiford Interchange $7.9 mil.

5. Strategic Plan Approach

The development of the 2018 Strategic Plan and 2019 update has focused on attempting to

schedule the seven regional projects for delivery in the first 10 years of the Measure L program.1

A ten-year program of planned Measure L expenditures for regional projects demonstrates how

Measure L revenues will be used to match the estimated programming in Regional

Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). Essentially, for the 2018 Strategic Plan and 2019

Update, a 10-year FY 18/19 – FY 27/28 “LTIP” is being created, covering the five-year RTIP

period plus an additional five years. The Strategic Plan is intended to be updated at least every

two years at the same time as StanCOG programs new shares of RTIP funding. This would

allow for the close coordination of the programming of Measure L Regional Category funds and

RTIP funds to the SR-132 project and, when it is delivered, to the other regional projects in the

Expenditure Plan.

When Measure L and RTIP capacity is available within the new 10 year horizon, regional

measure projects may be added to the plan. Since the Strategic Plan can be amended at any time,

amendments can be made between biennial updates as necessary to reflect changes in the plan’s

assumptions, including rates of growth of revenues and cost escalation rates, and outside funding

received (or not received) for regional projects.

Ten years is the typical time frame for developing and constructing a large transportation capital

projects in California. So theoretically, all phases of a regional project could be “programmed”

in the plan’s 10 year horizon.

1 The 2018 Strategic Plan and 2019 Strategic Plan Update also includes revenues collected in FY 17/18, prior

to the adoption of the 2018 plan.

A 10-year window also allows StanCOG to anticipate cash flow issues and decide whether to

issue bonds or pursue other debt instruments, such as federal TIFIA loans. If bond issuances are

pursued, they can be carefully scheduled with the assistance of StanCOG’s Measure L Financial

Advisor. A “sub-strategy” for bonding can also be developed separately that allows multiple

cash flow shortages to be addressed with a single consolidated bond issuance or through

government loan programs such as TIFIA.

6. 2019 Strategic Plan Update

The StanCOG Policy Board directed that the Strategic Plan be updated after the fall 2018

election when the fate of SB-1 would be known. When the Board was considering the adoption

of the 2018 Strategic Plan, signatures were being gathered to place a proposition on the statewide

ballot to repeal SB-1. A repeal of SB-1 (as Proposition 6 on the ballot) would have eliminated

the competitive funding programs that are needed to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in

matching funds for the 16 regional projects.

If the repeal was successful, StanCOG would continue to focus on delivering the SR-132 project

and McHenry Avenue, albeit with reduced resources. Aside from losing opportunities to

compete for outside funding, a repeal would have reduced the amount of new RTIP funding that

StanCOG receives on a biennial basis that would be dedicated to the SR-132 project. In that

case, the schedule for the delivery of the SR-132 project’s three phases may have needed to be

delayed and the Strategic Plan updated.

If SB-1 survived repeal, the Board directed that StanCOG staff revisit the Strategic Plan in 2019

and consider amending it to use Measure L capacity within the first 10 years to advance other

regional projects in the Expenditure Plan to “shovel ready” status and position them to compete

for SB-1 matching funds. Because the repeal of SB-1 as Proposition 6 failed at the ballot, the

2019 Update was initiated to comply with Board direction.

7. Strategic Plan Update Process

The cash flow model of Measure L regional revenues and project expenditures created to aid in

the development of the 2018 Strategic Plan delivery strategy was employed for the 2019 Update.

The model cash flows the Measure L funds and matching funds that StanCOG is responsible for

programming or would have to help regional project sponsors secure. These matching funds

include StanCOG’s RTIP funds and “outside” competitive funding from State and federal

programs such as SB-1 Solutions for Congested Corridors, SB-1 Trade Corridor Enhancements,

federal TIGER programs, etc. The sponsors of some of the priority regional projects have

indicated they will be providing partial funding from locally controlled sources such as public

facilities fees.

It was assumed in developing the cash flow model that Measure L funds will be “passed

through” on an annual basis without interruption to the cities and Stanislaus County for the Local

27


Control Programs (65% of total revenues), including Local Streets & Roads, Traffic

Management, Bicycle & Pedestrian Improvements.

To expedite the 2018 Strategic Plan preparation as well as the 2019 Update, it was also assumed

that Transit Program funds (7%) would be “passed through” annually to project sponsors, as if

for annual transit operations. StanCOG staff has indicated that Rail Services funds and

Community Connections funds under the Transit Programs category will in reality be allocated

on a project-by-project basis to projects and sponsors using project selection methods yet to be

determined. When individual projects are selected for funding, they will be amended into the

Strategic Plan at a later date, and the cash flow reanalyzed. But for the 2018 Strategic Plan and

the 2019 Update, they are treated as pass through funds.

For the 2019 Update, Measure L revenue assumptions were updated using full FY 18/19 receipts.

This has increased Measure L Regional Control program funding by $15 million over the first 10

years of Measure L as compared to the 2018 Strategic Plan. Measure L generated $42.3 million

in FY 17/18 and $45.0 million in FY 18/19, a 6.35% rate of growth, year over year.

Approximately $11.9 million and $12.6 million was available for regional projects in FY 17/18

and 18/19, respectively, after passing through Local Control Programs and Transit Programs

funding. It was assumed that revenues would grow at a conservative rate of 3.25% per year over

the eight remaining years of the ten year period, based on total taxable sales in the Stanislaus

County from 2012 to 2015 (the last year total year data is available from the BOE) which grew

year over year, 6.45%, 3.45%, and 3.4%, respectively.

The 2019 Update also assumed that the StanCOG Policy Board would adopt an investment

policy in FY 19/20. This would result in StanCOG earning 2.5% or approximately $2.9 million

over 10 years on the Regional Control program cash balance. Interest revenues were not

assumed in the 2018 Strategic Plan.

The project allocations for each regional project in the Expenditure Plan were escalated by

3.25%, matching the assumed rate of growth of measure revenues, until the first fiscal year that

Measure L funds are proposed to be expended on a project component (environmental, design,

right of way, construction).

For the 2020 RTIP cycle, covering FYs 20/21 to 24/25, StanCOG’s fund estimate share of new

revenues was $5.396 million. After deducting out funds annually used for RTIP administration

(ie., Planning, Programming & Monitoring), a balance of $4.323 million remained for regional

projects. It was assumed that $13.130 million in new revenues were available for regional

projects between FY 25/26 and FY 27/28 per the fund estimate, after deducting out $650,000 for

RTIP administration.

A project cost escalation rate of 4.0% annually was used for the 10 year period in the 2018

28


Strategic Plan and the 2019 Update. The rate was arrived at by reviewing the California

Construction Cost Indices & Forecast in 2017. Since 2008, construction costs for highway

bridges and highways have escalated annually an average of 1% and 4.5%, respectively. Both

indices have shown a wide range in cost escalation.

The assumption for the interest rates on bonds, if needed to maintain positive cash flow, was 4%

for the 2018 Strategic Plan and the 2019 Update. The term of repayment would be assumed to be

completed before 2042, when Measure L expires.

To establish a benchmark of a realistic amount of outside competitive funding that might be

awarded to StanCOG’s Measure L regional projects over the Strategic Plan period, it was

assumed that outside funding awarded competitively was awarded by formula instead, with

StanCOG receiving $108 million over 10 years.2 This was derived by assuming that StanCOG

would annually receive one-half of its 1.4% state population share in competitive grant funding

from the Local Partnership Program, Solutions for Congested Corridors, and Trade Corridors

programs in SB-1, and Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funding, plus an additional $2

million in federal INFRA or BUILD funding annually.

8. Delivery Scenarios Strategies

The three potential strategies from the 2018 Strategic Plan for delivering priority regional

projects in 10 years were updated for analysis and discussion purposes.

During the development of the 2018 Strategic Plan, the Policy Board expressed concern that the

scenarios should rely on conservative assumptions so as to not “over promise and under deliver”,

creating false expectations for the county’s residents as far as the delivery schedules for the

projects. Board members also emphasized that StanCOG should not overextend its resources.

With matching funds from SB-1 in potential jeopardy, they expressed support for a “Pay-As-

You-Go” delivery strategy that focused on delivering one priority regional project at a time

before moving on to the next project. This strategy would be revisited if SB-1 survived repeal,

as discussed previously.

During the 2019 Update process, the Policy Board expressed concerns about the costs of bond

financing and continued to support a “Pay-As-You-Go” delivery strategy, deferring any

decisions about the need for debt financing until the four projects added to the 10-year Strategic

Plan horizon are ready for construction.

Consequently, the Pay-As-You-Go strategy was carried through the entire update process and

2 For the first draft of cash flow scenarios shown in Appendix C, it was assumed that StanCOG would

receive 1.4% of its population share. Based on direction from the Policy Board in 2018, a more conservative

assumption of one-half of 1.4%, escalated at 3.25% per year, was used for the final cash flow analysis shown

in Appendix A.

29


served as the basis for the updated 2019 Strategic Plan strategy. The Unconstrained scenario

and Bonding scenarios were updated but dropped from consideration as infeasible after being

reviewed by the Management & Finance Committee and Working Group and receiving direction

from the Policy Board. The scenarios are reviewed briefly below.

The Unconstrained Scenario from 2018 was updated with new revenue and cost estimates to see

how closely the funds requested by the sponsors of the seven priority projects aligned with

measure and matching fund revenue projections over the 10-year Strategic Plan period. In order

to provide the funding requested over the next 10 years, $214 million in Measure L funds (in

escalated dollars) would be needed as compared to the $167 million in measure funds that are

projected to be available, resulting in a shortfall of measure funds of $47 million. Large RTIP

and outside matching fund shortfalls would also be realized. This scenario demonstrated in

2019, as it did for the 2018 Strategic Plan, that an “unconstrained” and simultaneous pursuit of

all seven projects over the first 10 years would not be feasible.

The Pay-As-You-Go Scenario developed for the 2018 Strategic Plan demonstrated the number of

projects that could be delivered while maintaining positive measure and matching fund balances.

In addition to updated project costs and revenue estimates previously discussed, the 2019 version

of this scenario was modified based on an assumption that the eligible uses of Measure L funds

for the North County Corridor project would be changed by an Expenditure Plan amendment to

benefit cash flow. The Working Group expressed concern that the Expenditure Plan restricts

funding used on the North County Corridor project to the design and right of way components of

the project. Consequently, in order to add the North County Corridor project to the 10-year

Strategic Plan horizon and advance it to the point where a $20 million BUILD grant could be

authorized in FY 19/20, Measure L design and right of way support expenditures would have to

be “front loaded” in the early years of the horizon. This would utilize the Measure L capacity

that could otherwise be used to begin project development work on SR-99 Mitchell Service

Road, SR-99 Briggmore and SR-99 Standiford.

The Working Group requested that scenarios be developed assuming that the Expenditure Plan

were amended by the StanCOG Board to allow North County Corridor funding to be used on all

project components, including construction. This would allow Stanislaus County, the project

sponsor, to use public facilities fees on design and right of way support, deferring expenditures

of Measure L funding on right of way acquisition and construction to later years in the horizon.

This in turn would free up Measure L funding capacity to allow other projects to advance,

especially those requesting funds to begin project development work. One additional qualifier

was added at a Strategic Plan Policy Board Workshop in May 2019. Funds available for rights

of way acquisitions and construction of the North County Corridor would be limited to Phase 1

between Coffee Rd. and Claus Rd. The Board added this qualifier to avoid the perception that

StanCOG was committing to providing Measure L and matching funds for the construction of

the entire 18 mile-long North County Corridor project during the 25 year Measure L program.

30


The updated Pay-As-You-Go scenario demonstrated that funding for six of the seven nominated

regional projects could be included in the 10-year Strategic Plan horizon: SR-132 (all three

phases), McHenry Avenue, North County Corridor Phase 1 (Coffee Rd. to Claus Rd.), SR-99

Briggsmore Interchange, SR-99 Standiford Avenue Interchange, SR-99 Mitchell Service Road

Interchange. Faith Home Road was not included in the 10-year horizon. Even assuming the

amendment to the North County Corridor project, capacity existed to include only six of the

seven projects nominated for funding in the first 10 years. The City of Ceres also expressed

concern that the Faith Home Road project, which would construct a new bridge over the

Tuolumne River, would be completed and direct traffic to the SR-99 Mitchell-Service

Interchange before the Measure L funded improvements at the interchange were made to handle

higher traffic volumes. Consequently, no Measure L funding for Faith Home Road was included

in the 10-year horizon.

Finally, the Bonding Scenario, Measure L bonding amounts of between $36 million and $50

million were examined to determine the extent to which the regional projects could be advanced

ahead of a Pay-As-You-Go approach. And indeed, Measure L funds for SR-132 Phases 2 and 3

could be available up to three fiscal years earlier with bonding. However, RTIP matching funds

are not projected to be available three fiscal years earlier, negating some of the advantages of

bonding. The Policy Board also continued to express concern about the amount of interest that

would have to be paid on bond issuances. Their clear preference was to continue to defer bond

issuances until there were no other options available to maintain a positive cash flow.

In summation, the Expenditure Plan amendment for the North County Corridor project combined

with updated revenue estimates are projected to make sufficient Measure L funding available on

a Pay-As-You-Go basis to accomplish the Policy Board’s goals of advancing additional regional

projects to shovel ready status.

9. 2019 Updated Strategic Plan Delivery Strategy

Therefore, the strategy for delivering projects in the first 10 years of Measure L, as updated in

2019, is as follows. Appendices A and B summarize how the estimated Measure L funds and

matching funds would be used on the regional projects and the amounts programmed by fiscal

year according to this delivery strategy.

I. StanCOG will focus its resources on fully funding the highest priority Measure L

regional project. Other projects will only be allowed to advance if they do not compete

with it for Measure L or matching funds.

II. The SR-132 project, from SR-99 to Gates Road, is the highest priority regional

project. This one project consists of three separate sub-projects or “phases”. A

construction contract for Phase 1 was awarded by the City of Modesto in September

31


2019. It is the highest priority regional project in the Measure L Expenditure Plan.

Approximately $115 million in Measure L and RTIP funds from StanCOG have been

committed to the project.

III. Use a Pay-As-You-Go approach for delivering regional projects. A Pay-As-You-Go

approach will be used focused on delivering the SR-132 and McHenry Avenue projects

and advancing the four above-named projects to shovel ready status to compete for SB-1

matching funds. To facilitate a Pay-As-You-Go approach, the Expenditure Plan will be

amended to change the eligible uses of Measure L Regional Control funding on the North

County Corridor project from Design and Right of Way to Right of Way and

Construction of North County Corridor Phase 1 (Coffee Rd. to Claus Rd.). Also to

facilitate a Pay-As-You-Go approach, the $31.8 million in Measure L reimbursement

payments to the City of Modesto for construction of SR-132 Phase 1 are “capped” per

each fiscal year and spread over FY 19/20 to FY 21/22 in the Measure L Regional Project

Cooperative Agreement between StanCOG and the City.

IV. Commit new RTIP revenues over Measure L’s first 10 years to the SR-132 project

as matching funds. All new estimated RTIP revenues would need to be dedicated to the

SR-132 project to expeditiously deliver the project. 3

V. Strategically apply Measure L funds to project components to maximize the

opportunities to leverage matching funds, to the extent practical. Measure funded

construction costs are eligible for a 1-1 match from the SB-1 Solutions for Congested

Corridors and Local Partnership programs. Consequently, the Strategic Plan allocates

Measure L funds to construction phases of SR-132 to maintain those leveraging

opportunities.

VI. Provide Measure L funding for construction of the McHenry Avenue project in FY

20/21. This project would widen McHenry Avenue to five lanes, including a center

turning lane, from Ladd Road to the Stanislaus River Bridge. It extends the benefits of

the 1.1 mile widening of McHenry Avenue in San Joaquin County from Jones Road near

Escalon to .3 miles south of the bridge. The StanCOG Board programmed $4.1 million

to the project in the 2018 RTIP for construction and $2 million in Highway Infrastructure

Program (HIP) as a match. It will not compete for future matching funds with the SR-132

project and Measure funding would provide about 20% of the total project cost. This

updated Strategic Plan continues to support the Board’s commitment to delivering the

project

VII. Aggressively pursue outside matching funds from state and federal sources. The

3 The 2018 Strategic Plan and 2019 Strategic Plan Update does not include the dedication of RSTP and

CMAQ funding exclusively to regional projects. A discussion of the priority uses of these sources would

occur, per Strategy VIII, before the next Strategic Plan update in 2022.

32

October 22, 2019 Pg. 10

$268 million in Measure L funding for the 16 regional projects represents roughly 25% of

the total estimated cost of the projects. StanCOG is going to have to leverage an

additional $750 million to deliver the projects promised to voters. Just the SR-132

project alone will require approximately $174 million in outside matching funds,

significantly higher than “benchmark” amount of $111 million it is assumed StanCOG

could receive in the 10-year cash flow modeling analysis in Appendix A. Pursuing

outside funding will include advocating for $91 million in STIP-IIP funding for the North

County Corridor project that was committed by the California Transportation

Commission (CTC) to the Oakdale Bypass before it was canceled.

VIII. Adopt a strategy for pursuing matching funding before the next Strategic Plan

update. A multifaceted strategy should be adopted by the Policy Board and its member

agencies defining regional priorities for funding and the strategic approach to the very

large task ahead of funding the regional projects. The strategy could include working

together to develop new sources of funding that could contribute to regional projects such

as a countywide traffic impact fee, or reprioritizing the uses of discretionary StanCOG

funding such as Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) and Congestion

Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ). Other elements of the strategy could include clarifying

who is responsible for resourcing the preparation of Measure L grants, if additional staff

or consultant grant writers are needed and who should house or administer them, and

whether additional graphics software and video production capabilities are needed to

support high-quality grant applications if done in-house.

IX. Update the Strategic Plan every two years in concert with the development and

adoption of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program. Every two years,

at the same time that the RTIP is updated, the Strategic Plan will be simultaneously

updated to capture two new years of Measure L revenues. This will allow a coordinated

programming of the RTIP’s revenues to Measure L regional projects needing matching

funds, per the programming approach in Appendix A. If measure and RTIP funding

capacity is available in the two outer years, regional measure projects may be nominated

to be added to the updated Strategic Plan, dependent on a cash flow analysis such as that

in Appendix A.

X. Prepare a cost estimate, project scope and schedule for each regional project

“nominated” by its sponsor to be included in the next Strategic Plan update in 2022.

Any project nominated by its sponsor for new and limited Measure L regional revenue

will be required to have a cost estimate, project scope and schedule prepared by qualified

engineers for review by StanCOG. This will insure that industry-standard estimating

methods and materials prices are used for the nominated projects resulting in a fair,

“apples to apples” comparison of the scope, cost and schedule of the nominated projects

during the next update.

FROM: Elisabeth Hahn, Deputy Director of Planning & Programming


SUBJECT: Amendment #1 to Expenditure Plan of Measure L: Local Roads First Transportation Funding Measure Ordinance #16-01.

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend that the Policy Board adopt by Resolution Amendment to Measure L: Local Roads First Transportation Funding Measure Ordinance #16-01 Expenditure Plan.

Background

In November, the StanCOG Policy Board will consider an amendment to the Measure L Expenditure Plan for the North County Corridor (NCC) project and the McHenry Avenue project. This would be the first amendment made to the Expenditure Plan since Measure L was adopted by voters in 2016.

The Measure L Ordinance allows StanCOG to annually review and propose amendments to the Expenditure Plan to provide for the use of additional federal, state, and local funds, to account for unexpected revenues, or to take into consideration unforeseen circumstances.

Amendments to the Expenditure Plan must be passed by a two-thirds majority vote of the Local Transportation Authority board’s total membership by a roll call vote following a noticed public hearing. The amendment becomes effective 45 days after the Board of Supervisors and city councils are notified of the amendment, unless appealed by a local jurisdiction under the process outlined in the Measure L Ordinance.

59

Item 5B

Discussion

StanCOG created a working group to discuss Measure L related issues in 2019, including the 2019 Strategic Plan update. The working group consists of Board members from Modesto and Riverbank and the city managers from Modesto, Ceres, Riverbank, Turlock, and Waterford. The working group has met periodically to provide direction to staff during the update of the Strategic Plan.

A consensus emerged at the Working Group that a new strategy should be adopted in 2019 to accelerate the delivery of Measure L Regional Control projects. The strategy is to amend the Expenditure Plan to allow Regional Control Measure L funding to be expended on construction of Phase 1 of the NCC project between Coffee Road and Claus Road (Attachment 2). The Expenditure Plan currently limits NCC expenditures to design and right of way. This requires the project sponsor, the County of Stanislaus, to front-end load expenditures in the early years of the Measure L program, using up fiscal capacity that could otherwise be expended to develop other Measure L Regional Control projects. If approved, this amendment would allow Measure L expenditures to be deferred to later project phases and the number of Regional Control projects under development could be expanded from two (State Route 132, McHenry Avenue) to six, financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Without the amendment the Policy Board would have to consider bond financing (borrowing) to maintain a positive cash flow in order for the six projects to initiate project development. The six projects are:

• SR 132 Phases 1,2,3• McHenry Avenue• SR 99 Briggsmore Interchange• SR 99 Mitchell-Service Interchange• SR 99 Standiford Interchange• North County Corridor

During the 2019 Strategic Plan update, it also became clear that the Measure L Expenditure Plan description of the McHenry Avenue project did not match the project the County of Stanislaus is prepared to deliver in FY 20/21. The project in the Expenditure Plan includes widening the two-lane McHenry Avenue to five lanes from Ladd Road (SR 108) to Hogue Road. However, the project the County is proposing to construct in FY 20/21 is from Ladd Road (SR 108) to the Stanislaus River Bridge, approximately 0.8 miles further north than Hogue Road. See Attachment 2 and 3 for project maps highlighting the differences. It appears this discrepancy in project limits was an oversight during the development of the Expenditure Plan which an amendment could resolve. The resulting wider facility would include two north bound lanes, two south bound lanes, and one continuous left turn/median lane. It will not include widening or structural improvements to the McHenry Avenue Bridge over the Stanislaus River. The total estimated construction cost is $12.8 million. The benefits of this project are that it will create a 4-5 lane corridor from the City of Escalon in San Joaquin County, over the Stanislaus River Bridge, to Ladd Road/SR 108.

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend that the Policy Board accept by Resolution the FY 2018-19 Measure L Annual Report.

Background

Measure L is a 25-year ½ cent sales tax that was approved by Stanislaus County voters by an overwhelming 71.95% in November of 2016. Measure L provides funding for local transportation improvements including, but not limited to: fixing potholes and maintaining streets; improving emergency response; providing safe routes to schools; providing senior, veterans and disabled shuttle services; and improving safety and reducing traffic congestion on major transportation corridors. The tax revenues are deposited in a special fund and used solely for the transportation projects, improvements and programs described in StanCOG’s adopted Expenditure Plan.

FROM: Debbie Trujillo, Assistant Planner

DATE: October 23, 2019 SUBJECT: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Funds Distribution Methodology

for Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2020/21 and 2021/22

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend that the Policy Board approve, by Resolution, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Distribution Methodology for FFYs 2020/21 and 2021/22.

Background

The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) continued the CMAQ program to provide a flexible funding source to State and local governments for transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Funding is available to reduce congestion and improve air quality for areas that do not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter (nonattainment areas) and for former nonattainment areas that are now in compliance (maintenance areas).

The program employs a competitive application process whereby local agencies compete for project funding on the basis of cost-effectiveness. In Fiscal Year 2011, the eight San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) adopted policies for distributing at least 20% of the CMAQ funds to projects that meet a cost-effectiveness threshold for emission reductions. The policies establish that prior to allocation of CMAQ funds with each new Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), the SJV MPOs, in consultation with the Interagency Consultation (IAC) partners, will develop a cost-effectiveness threshold. Cost-effectiveness is expressed as dollars spent per pound of pollutant reduced (ROG + NOx + PM2.5 + PM10). The cost-effectiveness threshold for the 2019 FTIP was recommended to bemaintained at $45 per pound ($90,000/ton). The threshold is based on CMAQ dollars only, nottotal project cost.

Item 5D

Discussion

A Planning Programming Working Group (PPWG) workshop was held on September 13, 2019 to solicit input from representatives of StanCOG’s member agencies on the CMAQ distribution methodology used in past cycles. StanCOG staff presented various scenarios to local agencies on how the CMAQ distribution methodology might be updated. A follow up meeting was held on October 2, 2019 to present an updated CMAQ distribution methodology based on input received. The following distribution methodology was developed by StanCOG staff and the PPWG as shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1

FFYs 2020/21 and 2021/22 CMAQ Distribution Methodology

Category Funding Breakdown

Rideshare Apportionment (Off the Top) $400,000 for FFY 2020/21 $405,000 for FFY 2021/22

Small/Medium Size Agencies (Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Waterford)

25% of CMAQ Balance after Rideshare Apportionment ($500,000 Project Cap)

Large Agencies & Transit (Ceres, Modesto, Turlock, Stanislaus County)

75% of CMAQ Balance after Rideshare Apportionment ($1,000,000 Project Cap)

Projects will be ranked from most to least cost effective, using the $45 per pound cost-effectiveness threshold, until funding is depleted.

Applicants are encouraged to increase their local match contribution and reduce the amount of CMAQ funding requested per each project submitted in order to: 1) Meet the goals of the recommended CMAQ expenditure threshold of $45 per pound of emissions reduction, 2) Improve the cost-effectiveness ranking of a project in their respective category, and 3) Allowfor additional CMAQ projects to be funded in this cycle. The local match can consist ofMeasure L Local Streets and Roads funds or other local agency funds.

The Stanislaus region has three rideshare programs. The programs are highly cost-effective and meet all CMAQ eligibility requirements. All three programs in the Stanislaus region can be fully funded with $400,000 in FFY 2020/21 and $405,000 in FFY 2021/22. These programs will allow the region to continue receiving CMAQ funding, as the rideshare programs are federally-mandated Transportation Control Measures identified for the purpose of reducing emissions or concentrations of air pollutants from transportation sources.

Upon finalizing the distribution methodology outlined in Table 1 above, the CMAQ Call for Projects will be released per the schedule presented in Table 2. The CMAQ Call for Projects application and instruction packet will be emailed to all agencies. Staff will present the recommended list of projects to the StanCOG Policy Board at their January 2020 meeting.

SUBJECT: Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) Federal Fiscal Years(FFYs) 2020/21 and 2021/22 Funding Distribution Methodology

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend that the Policy Board approve, by Resolution, the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) FFYs 2020/21 and 2021/22 Funding Distribution Methodology.

Background

StanCOG is responsible for allocating and programming funds apportioned to the region through the Federal Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP). STBGP funds are to be utilized to implement local road improvements on federal-aid eligible roads. The Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has provided the regional funding estimates for the STBGP program for Federal Fiscal Years 2020/21 and 21/22, which have been included in the 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The region’s estimated apportionment is $7,309,810 for FFY 2020/21 and $7,307,137 for FFY 2021/22.

The following distribution methodology was adopted in the 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) and has been used in the last eight cycles.

1. A 70/30 weighted allocation formula methodology for all agencies 70% by the proportion of total population 30% by the proportion of road miles eligible for federal aid funding

2. Agencies that receive <$100,000 in an annual apportionment, based on the 70/30 split,are guaranteed a minimum of $100,000 annually. The funds for this minimum amountare deducted from the regional apportionment estimate prior to calculating the remainingapportionments.Population estimates are derived from the most recent population figures provided by theDepartment of Finance. Road miles are provided by Caltrans.

76

Item 5E

Discussion

A Planning Programming Working Group (PPWG) workshop was held on September 13, 2019 to solicit input on the distribution methodology used in past cycles. StanCOG staff presented the methodology that had been used over the last eight cycles, which is outlined above. It was requested to increase the floor to allow agencies to deliver a more substantial project. In a follow up meeting on October 2, 2019 with the PPWG, StanCOG staff presented distribution methodologies that would increase the minimum floor amount.

• Agencies that receive <$175,000 in an annual apportionment, based on the 70/30 split,would be guaranteed a minimum of $175,000 annually. The funds for this minimumamount would be deducted from the regional apportionment estimate prior tocalculating the remaining apportionments.

StanCOG also receives an allocation of STBGP funding on an annual basis for implementation of a planning, programming, and management program used for daily project and program administration. StanCOG will be allocated $150,000 in funding which is deducted from the annual apportionment prior to the funds being distributed to local jurisdictions.

StanCOG staff is recommending increasing the minimum floor from $100,000 to $175,000. Attachments 2 and 3 reflect each local jurisdiction’s STBGP apportionment for FFY 2020/21 and 2021/22.

Schedule for STBGP Call for Projects

Upon Policy Board approval of the distribution methodology outlined in Attachments 2 and 3, the STBGP Call for Projects will be released per the schedule presented in Table 1 below.

SUBJECT: Nominee for Valley Rail Program Station/Facilities Development Committee of the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission

Background

The current four-train ACE service is funded by Alameda, Santa Clara and San Joaquin counties, and is governed by the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC). Alameda County has two Special Voting Representatives on the Rail Commission who vote on existing ACE service issues directly affecting the cities and county of Alameda. The San Joaquins Intercity rail service is funded by the State of California and governed by the 10-Member San Joaquin County Joint Powers Authority, which includes representatives from the Central Valley, Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Two new rail expansion services funded through SB1 and TIRCP create the need to evaluate how those service expansions will be implemented and later governed without unduly creating new policy structures.

Valley Rail Program a. SB132 funded Expansion of ACE from Lathrop to Ceres and Mercedb. TIRCP funded Expansion of ACE and San Joaquins to Natomas

Two issues arise in planning for service expansion into new regions: 1) a governance concept that includes all of the regions affected by the existing and planned services; 2) numerous decisions needing to be made imminently in the Stanislaus, San Joaquin and Sacramento regions as 11 new stations and facilities are designed and constructed over the next two years.

SJRRC has the authority to create, by Ordinance, and delegate to a committee that would have decision-making authority regarding the new stations/facilities that would function along the lines of a Planning Commission. The committee could have certain decision-making authorities delegated to it by SJRRC under an annual, SJRRC-approved scope and budget identified for the Valley Rail Expansion in Stanislaus, San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties. The committee would be subject to the Brown Act, would meet on an as-needed basis and include

82

Item 5F

teleconferencing for ensuring quorums.

Discussion

At the October 2019 SJRRC meeting, the SJRRC Board adopted an Ordinance creating a station and facilities development committee of the SJRRC and delegating decision-making authority to the committee. SJRRC sent StanCOG the attached letter soliciting a nomination of one of StanCOG’s elected members to serve on the new committee to implement the Valley Rail Program stations and facilities. It was indicated that, for continuity on the subject matter and to facilitate the necessary decision-making, the member would have a history of working on passenger rail service and represent a jurisdiction in which a new facility will be built.

Henry Li General Manager/CEO Sacramento Regional Transit District 1400 29th St Sacramento, CA 95812

Subject: Requesting Nominations to Serve on the Valley Rail Program Station/Facilities Development Committee of the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission

Dear Ms. Park and Mr. Li,

The current 4-train ACE service is funded by Alameda, Santa Clara and San Joaquin counties, and is governed by the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC). Alameda County has 2 Special Voting Representatives on the Rail Commission who vote on existing ACE service issues directly affecting the cities and county of Alameda.

The San Joaquins Intercity rail service is funded by the state of CA and governed by the 10- Member San Joaquin County Joint Powers Authority, which includes representatives from the Central Valley, Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Two new rail expansion services funded through SB1 and TIRCP create the need to evaluate how those service expansions will be implemented and later governed without unduly creating new policy structures.

Valley Rail Program a. SB132 funded Expansion of ACE from Lathrop to Ceres and Mercedb. TIRCP funded Expansion of ACE and San Joaquins to Natomas

As currently scoped, these two services will not have a direct impact on the existing ACE service in Alameda or Santa Clara counties. The Rail Commission has committed to Alameda County that Core ACE Capacity issues will be regularly evaluated and resolved so that Alameda residents experience no reduction of service quality or capacity due to the Central Valley expansions. SB 132 provides for a small amount of additional equipment and funding to support the improvement of the existing ACE service.

84

Two issues arise in planning for service expansion into new regions:

1) A larger conversation is needed to evaluate a governance concept that includesall of the regions affected by the existing and planned services. Counselreviewed several options in response to Boardmember questions ata past board meeting. This effort will likely take 9 months to over a year, depending onthe nature of changes to existing agencies or the creation of a new policystructure.

2) Numerous decisions need to be made imminently in the Stanislaus, San Joaquinand Sacramento regions as 11 new stations and facilities are designed andconstructed over the next 2 years.

An Interim Governance Concept for Valley Rail Program Delivery:

In evaluating other options that could utilize the Rail Commission structure and powers, the Rail Commission has the authority to create, by Ordinance, and delegate to a Committee that would have decision making authority regarding the new stations/facilities that would function along the lines of a Planning Commission.

The Committee could have certain decision-making authorities delegated to it by the Rail Commission under an annual, Rail Commission approved scope and budget identified for the Valley Rail Expansion in Stanislaus, San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties. The Committee would be subject to the Brown Act and would meet on an as needed basis and include teleconferencing for ensuring quorums. There could be times where several meetings a month may be needed and times where there are no meetings in a month. For the protection of the Rail Commission’s financial stake in the expansions, Counsel is recommending a 4-member Committee. Utilizing the existing member agencies of the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority for some continuity, two of the Committee members would be solicited from StanCOG and SacRT, with each recommending appointment of one of its members. The remaining two members would be Rail Commissioners from the areas of San Joaquin County affected by the expansion. No Alternates would be designated for the Committee.

This proposed Committee concept may offer the following benefits:

1. Eliminates the need, at this time, for a new governing board and administrativeStructure.

2. Utilizes this Valley Rail project implementation process to assess the best long-termgovernance option for the expanded ACE and San Joaquin service.

3. Maintains the continuity of member agencies and boardmembers with expertiserelated to ACE and the San Joaquins.

4. Establishes a small, nimble Committee of elected officials who are motivated todeliver the Valley Rail expansion project quickly, cost effectively, and withconsideration of the affected community interest because the new facilities are intheir districts.

85

At the September 2019 Rail Commission meeting, the Board waived the first reading of an Ordinance creating a station and facilities development committee of the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission SJRRC and delegating decision-making authority to the committee. Upon the board’s action, staff issued a summary of the Ordinance and had the summary published in local newspapers within the three counties of Santa Clara, Alameda and San Joaquin. Staff has also published the summary of the Ordinance with a link to the full Ordinance on the ACE Rail website (acerail.com/summary-of-proposed-Ordinance).

At the October 2019 Rail Commission meeting, the Board waived the second reading and adopted the final Ordinance as attached.

I am reaching out to you to solicit a nomination for one of your elected members to serve on this new Committee to implement the Valley Rail Program stations and facilities. For continuity on the subject matter and to facilitate the necessary decision-making, the member would have a history of working on passenger rail service and represent a jurisdiction in which a new facility will be built.

I am happy to discuss this request with you further and also offer that the Rail Commission Chair, Christina Fugazi could contact your respective Chairs with her perspective.

SUBJECT: Measure L Funds Received

Background

The Measure L revenue projection per the expenditure plan is $38,000,000, annually. Measure L funds are received monthly from the State Board of Equalization (BOE). Monthly estimated allocations are made by the BOE using methodologies to estimate sales tax revenues based on past reports for the region. The actual amount for sales tax revenue is calculated in the month following the end of each quarter, at which time the BOE will deduct their administrative fees for the quarter and issue a final quarterly payment for the net amount based on the actual quarterly revenue received. Distributions made to jurisdictions for FY 2019/20 are based on receipts from July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020.

Discussion

As of September 24, 2019, StanCOG has received $11,722,936 for FY 2019/20. The attached schedules show the status of the Measure L receipts as of September 2019. Attachment 1 provides the total monthly allocation to date as compared to the total estimated for the Fiscal Year. Attachment 2 reports the allocation of Measure L funds by category and jurisdiction. Attachment 3 identifies the total breakdown by jurisdiction and/or project.

Should you have any questions regarding this staff report, please contact Karen Kincy, Manager of Financial Services, at 209-525-4640 or via e-mail at [email protected].
