CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Measure K Renewal Expenditure Plan Discussion and Direction
MEETING DATE: February 15,2006
PREPARED BY. Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council discuss the draft Measure K Renewal
Expenditure Plan and provide direction.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Measure K Renewal effort has been progressing for the past two
years. A key element of the Renewal is an updated Expenditure Plan
which guides and implements the %-cent sales tax.
The proposed Plan is fundamentally structured similar to the current Plan with four broad categories of
projects but includes a variety of changes that have been debated and revised; and the debate
continues. The two past versions of the draft Expenditure Plan are available on the San Joaquin Council
of Governments (SJCOG) website at http://www.sicoa.ora/sections/measure k/program renewal.
At a recent Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting, an amended version dated February 2006
was presented and is attached. Note that the Plan does not contain project cost estimates. The major
items of discussion, along with Lodi staffs comments, are:
• Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety — 35% allocation —This percentage of the program is
the same as the current Measure K, with the addition of "safety" in the category title. At one point
during the renewal effort, there was a proposal to separate repairs from safety with a 30/5 split,
but it has since been recombined. Staff has no strong preference on this but feels the combined
program is simpler to administer.
However, there has been significant debate over how this money is to be allocated to the
agencies. The current program splits the funds 50% to San Joaquin County with the rest
allocated to the Cities based on population. A variety of proposals have been considered that
would shift more funds to the Cities. The current proposal is to provide a 2010 base amount to
each agency based on the current formula. The base amount would be indexed and increased
over time. Over time, any increase above the adjusted base amount would be allocated to each
jurisdiction based on population. The County is insisting that they be given a minimum of 40%.
The TAC has agreed to a formula with a 40% minimum.
Technical staff could debate, ad nauseum, details on lane miles, population and other options for
"fair' allocation of these funds. Lodi staff has consistently supported methods which would not
result in the County losing funds from current levels (hence the "base amount" concept) and the
notion that program revenue increases should be allocated on a uniform basis, such as
population. Noting that there are many assumptions being made about future growth revenue
and that the various scenarios are relatively close in what the County would receive, Lodi staff, at
the TAC meeting, supported the 40% minimum guarantee to San Joaquin County but also
supports formally reviewing the formula mid -way (15 years) through the program, rather than
every three years, as is currently proposed.
• Congestion Relief — 32.5% allocation —This is the major road project portion of the program which
has provided funding for past Lodi projects such as Lower Sacramento Road, Kettleman Lane

and the Highway 99/12 interchange. The allocation is increased from 25% in the current
program. A key assumption in this category is that State and Federal funds will also be available
to build these projects. Simply listing a project does not mean that sufficient funds will be
available to build it. 60% is allocated to State highway projects and 40% to jurisdictions (based
on population). Highway 12/Kettleman Lane projects are split between the categories, which
merits discussion.
The significant recent change in this category that directly affects Lodi is deleting the widening of
Highway 12 between Lodi and 1-6 and adding safety i m provements west of 1-5 to the County line.
Given that both projects are probably underestimated ($48 million and $97 million respectively)
and that the entire program is likely under -funded, staff feels the simplest solution is to list both.
Staff also suggests that the Council determine their priority for these two projects.
Rai!/Bus/Bicycles — 30% allocation —This category includes funds for continued Altamont
Commuter Express (ACE) and transit services, as well as a small amount for bicycle projects.
The allocation is slightly reduced from 32.5% in the current program, recognizing that the current
program included funding for multi -modal stations which have nearly all been built or funded.
While staff has no fundamental issues with this category, we do have concerns that the
impression is that the San Joaquin Regional Transit District and ACE are the only eligible transit
agencies, While SJCOG has been supportive of Lodi's efforts to obtain funding in this category, it
has been a continuing struggle.
Railroad Crossing Safety — 2.5% allocation —This category has been reduced from the current
program's 7.5%. This category is probably the most "unfunded" of the program. The latest
program revenue estimate is $63 million. The project list is roughly $370 million. Statewide, the
State funds $15 million per year based on their priorityscheme. The draft Plan had included
using this scheme to prioritize these local projects, but the latest revision approved by the TAC
calls for a local scheme.
Staffs opinion is that Lodi, the County and other small cities will not fare well under the State
scheme and supports development of a local method. There is no point in allocating funds to
projects that will never come up with the rest of the funding, but the funds do need to be
distributed equitably in the Region.
Staffs understanding is that the draft Expenditure Plan will be considered by the SJCOG Board at its
February meeting. Following preliminary approval, itwill be sent to the membersfor formal review and
comment or approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: Measure K is a majorfunding source for the City's transportation program
and needs to be renewed. While debate over details is fine, staff strongly
recommends that we work with SJCOG and the members to arrive at a
compromise plan to put forward to the voters.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Transportation Improvement Plan is aimed at remedying the existing over $7.0 billion deficiency in
transportation funding in San Joaquin County while promoting improved air quality. It also mandates local
development fees and regional growth coordination. The Plan calls for street repairs, safety and
operational improvements on local streets and roads, projects to reduce congestion on streets and
highways, passenger rail and bus service to provide alternatives to the car and improve the air quality of
the San Joaquin Valley, and separation of streets from railroads at designated crossings to improve
safety.
Revenue to fund the Plan comes from the continuation of the existing one half percent (1/2 %) sales tax
and will be limited to a 30 -year period. The measure is estimated to generate $2.552 billion for programs.
Categorical Allocations are as follows:
• 35% or $883 million to Local Street Repairs and Roadway Safety
• 86% or $759 million for local street repairs
• 14% or $124 million for roadway safety
• 32.5% or $820 million to Congestion Relief Projects
• 2.5% or $63 million for Railroad Crossing Safety projects
• 30% or $756 million to Passenger Rail, Bus and Bicycles:
• 39% or $295 million to passenger rail transit
• 49% or $370 million for bus transit
• 5% or $38 million for bus rapid transit capital
• 7% or $53 million for pedestrian and bicycle facilities
By law, the Local Transportation Authority (LTA) can take no more than one percent (1 %) of gross
revenues for administrative salaries and benefits.
CATEGORICAL ALLOCATIONS
LOCAL STREET REPAIR AND ROADWAY SAFETY - These funds are apportioned according to a
baseline allocation and the annual increase of sales tax revenue over the baseline allocation. The
baseline allocation is the total Local Street Repair funding collected in 2010 divided 50% to San Joaquin
County, 50% to the incorporated cities. Individual city allocations are by their proportionate share of the
total incorporated population. The baseline allocation will be increased annually for inflation by the lesser
of the national Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the actual annual growth in sales tax revenue. The
increase over baseline allocation will be divided between all jurisdictions by population percentage of the
total incorporated and unincorporated population. This formula will be reviewed and, if necessary,
revised every three years. These funds must be used to augment current transportation spending and
cannot be used to replace general fund expenditures.
• Local Street Repair includes expenditures to rehabilitate local streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
and roadway shoulders.
• Roadway Safety promotes motorist safety including fog reflectors, median barriers, roadway
shoulders, emergency vehicle traffic signal pre-emption systems, and safe routes to schools.
2
CONGESTION RELIEF PROJECTS — These are projects of regional importance, which add lanes to
roadways or provide operational improvements that increase roadway capacity. Projects include state
highway facilities and local roadway facilities. Funding will be used in combination with other revenue
sources such as state funds or local fees to deliver projects and can be loaned to the state to deliver a
project sooner than would normally be expected through the State Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP) process. Sixty percent (60%) of the funds are dedicated to state highway projects. Forty percent
(40%) of the funds are dedicated to local roadway projects according to the population of local
jurisdictions.
PASSENGER RAIL, BUS AND BICYCLES - It is the intent to use sales tax revenue to match and
supplement state and federal funds for passenger rail transit, bus transit, and pedestrian/bicycle facilities.
• Passenger Rail Transit includes expenditures to promote and upgrade passenger rail service in
the Stockton - Bay Area corridor over the Altamont and the Modesto:7 Stockton - Sacramento
corridor. Eligible costs include but are not limited to operations, locomotives and passenger cars,
track improvements, train and grade crossing controls.
Bus Transit promotes bus service between the cities within San Joaquin County for all trip
purposes. Expenses for capital such as vehicles and operations are eligible. Funding is used for
bus programs to promote peak hour, commute service as well as bus services for the elderly and
persons with disabilities. These funds can be used for park and ride lots, express bus service,
greater frequencies on existing peak hour routes, trip reduction programs to new employment
centers and service to other counties. The San Joaquin Regional Transit District (SJRTD) is to
receive a minimum allocation of 50% for programs in this category.
Bus Rapid Transit Capital provides funding specifically for infrastructure to support Bus Rapid
Transit service. Bus Rapid Transit provides express bus service with fewer stops and higher
frequencies that are similar to light rail. Bus Rapid Transit requires priority to be given to buses
through traffic signal priority and could allow buses to run on designated high occupancy roadway
lanes or separate lanes, including off roadway corridors. Bus Rapid Transit can include
interregional/intra-city commute, inter -city, and elderly/persons with disabilites bus service.
• Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities promotes pedestrian/bicycle facility projects including commute
facilities, recreational facilities, cross walks, and traffic calming projects.
RAILROAD CROSSING SAFETY PROJECTS — These are projects to provide motorist safety at railroad
crossings. Projects include grade separation facilities, meant to separate roadways from railroads, as
well as at -grade improvements. A list of potential underpasses or overpasses of railroad tracks on local
streets and roads throughout San Joaquin County has been presented. The Authority will adopt criteria
to prioritize the listing.

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is designated as the Local Transportation Authority
(LTA) for the county under the provisions contained in SB 142 (Chapter 786, Statutes of 1987) in order to
carry out the activities described in this Expenditure Plan.
The Plan was prepared by the San Joaquin Council of Governments in concert with community leaders,
elected officials, management and technical staff from member cities and the County and interested
members of the general public.
The Local Transportation Authority's principles are as follows:
1. A balanced transportation network of highways, local streets, rail andbus transit and regional
planning are necessary to preserve the quality of life and a healthy viable economy for San
Joaquin County residents.
2. Improved air quality is an important goal for San Joaquin County as well as the entire San
Joaquin Valley. Alternatives to the single occupant automobile are important contributors to
improved air quality. The implementation of this Plan must be consistent with the adopted Air
Quality Plan for San Joaquin County and the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin.
3. It is estimated that there is currently a need for over $7.0 billion to fund:
• Street repair, safety and improvements on local streets and roads;
• Congestion relief projects to accommodate existing crowding of streets and highways;
• Capital and operating assistance for passenger rail and bus service;
• Local match requirements for state and federal funding.
4. State and Federal monies are insufficient to meet San Joaquin County's transportation needs. A
local retail transactions and use tax for transportation improvements has been demonstrated to
be the funding method best suited to match other revenue sources to meet San Joaquin County's
needs.
5. All investments in capital facilities and improvements must be within San Joaquin County or
directly service the interests of San Joaquin County residents.
6. In order to accommodate San Joaquin County population growth so that it does not occur at the
expense of current residents, the cities and the county in San Joaquin will maintain and collect
both local traffic mitigation fees and a regional transportation impact fee to pay for growth -induced
transportation facilities.
7. To receive Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding the cities and the county in San
Joaquin must have adopted both local traffic mitigation fees and a regional transportation impact
fee.
8. To implement the Plan, management, technical and most importantly citizen oversight is
essential.

CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS
CONGESTION RELIEF IMPROVEMENTS
Thirty-two and one-half percent (32.5%) of the net revenue generated under this measure will be
allocated to regional capacity improvement projects. For the purposes of this Plan, "capacity
improvement projects" are those capital projects which add lanes to roadways, improve traffic operations,
or expand transit capabilities. The cost of these congestion relief projects can include such items as
traffic signals, channelization, curbs and gutters, shoulders, bus rapid transitniastructure, capital
improvements at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, project development as long as these costs are
directly related to the project. --------
---- _____
STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS
Many more state highway improvement projects are needed to address the congettdn and safety
problems than existing state and federal revenues can fund. Of the total funds avaitable in the
Congestion Relief Category, sixty percent (60%) of the funds will be used to match fedlwand state
revenues to complete projects of benefit to the state highway system including, but not lirld to:

LOCAL ROADWAY PROJECTS
Forty percent (40%) of the Congestion Relief Category funding may be used to match state and local
revenues as well as regional transportation impact fee funding to provide capacity improvements to local
roadways in each of the cities and County of San Joaquin. These funds are apportioned to the local
jurisdictions according to their proportionate share of the total incorporated and unincorporated
population. The local jurisdictions will identify and prioritize projects for funding requests to the Authority.
The Authority will allocate funds consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan. Projects that have an
approved Project Study Report, or equivalent, and are included in the Regional Transportation Plan will
receive an allocation approval automatically from the Authority in the first ten years of the program (2011
to 2021) so long as the allocation does not exceed the total Congestion Reli unds available to that

12
LOCAL STREET REPAIRS AND ROADWAY SAFETY
Cities and the County will share thirty-five percent (35%) of the net sales tax revenue for local street
repairs, roadway safety and operations improvements as determined by the local jurisdiction. Local
jurisdictions will receive an annual funding allocation on a formula basis according to a baseline allocation
and the sales tax revenue increase over the baseline allocation. The baseline allocation is the total Local
Street Repair funding collected in 2010 divided 50% to San Joaquin County, 50% to the incorporated
cities. Individual city allocations are by their proportionate share of the total incorporated population. The
baseline allocation will be increased annually for inflation by the lesser of the national Consumer Price
Index (CPI) or the actual annual growth in sales tax revenue. The increase over baseline allocation will
be divided between all jurisdictions by population percentage of the total incorporated and unincorporated
population. The Authority will review the allocation formula every three years to determine if the formula
is operating in an equitable manner.
Local Street Repair
Local Street Repair includes expenditures to rehabilitate local roadways as determined by the local
jurisdiction. It is the intent of the California State Legislature and the Authority that revenues provided
under this measure be used to supplement existing revenues being used for local street maintenance
projects and programs.
Maintenance of Effort Policy:
A JURISDICTION CANNOT REDIRECT MONIES CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR LOCAL
STREET MAINTENANCE PURPOSES TO OTHER USES, AND THEN REPLACE THE
REDIRECTED FUNDS WITH LOCAL STREET MAINTENANCE DOLLARS FROM THE RETAIL
TRANSACTION AND USE TAX. To meet the requirements of state law, a jurisdiction must
demonstrate maintenance or a minimum level of local street and road expenditures in
conformance with procedures adopted in ordinance by the Authority. Monies from this program
may not go to a city's or the County's "General Fund".
• The Authority shall annually update the base year and preceding three year base period for the
establishment of an annual minimum based on the information available from the State
Controller's Annual Report of Financial Transactions for Streets and Roads.
• An annual independent audit will be conducted to verify that the Maintenance of Effort
requirements were met by the local jurisdictions. Any local jurisdiction which does not meet its
Maintenance of Effort requirement in any given year may have its Local Street Repair funding
reduced in the following year by the amount by which the jurisdiction did not meet its required
Maintenance of Effort. Such funds shall be redistributed to the remaining eligible jurisdictions.
• A jurisdiction may use monies from this source to offset the loss of traffic fee revenue from
exempted "affordable housing units" as defined in the Regional Fair Share Housing Plan.
• Local jurisdictions may "lend" any of their allocation to another agency so that projects could be
expedited as long as a formal agreement is executed by all agencies involved and is approved by
the Authority.
13
Roadway Safety
Roadway Safety includes expenditures to promote safety improvements on local roadways as determined
by the local jurisdiction. Local jurisdictions will provide an annual report of roadway safety projects
completed with Roadway Safety funding as part of the annual independent audit of maintenance of effort
for Local Street Repair funding.
Eligible projects that may be funded under this program include, but are not limited to:
• Median barriers and guard rails
• Roadway shoulders
• Traffic signal synchronization
• Acceleration/deceleration lanes
• Emergency vehicle traffic signal pre-emptioi
• Raised fog reflectors
• Turn lanes and pockets
• Safe routes to schools
• Roadway realignments
14
PASSENGER RAIL, BUS AND BICYCLES
Thirty percent (30%) of the net sales tax revenue generated in the Measure K program will be allocated
for passenger rail transit, bus transit, and pedestrian/bicycle projects. The objective of this category is to
provide alternatives to the use of automobiles as a means of intercity and commute transportation. This is
an important step in improving air quality in addition to enhancing the mobility of persons without access
to private automobiles, the elderly, and persons with disabilities of San Joaquin County. It is the intent to
use sales tax revenue to match and supplement state and federal funds. All investments in capital items
or facilities will be within San Joaquin County or directly service the interests of San Joaquin County
residents.
Passenger Rail Transit
Passenger Rail Transit includes expenditures to promote and upgrade colter rail service provided by
the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) service. This category is intended prirrrarly for capital purchases.
Eligible costs include operations. The two primary corridors identified for rail ser\ice-are:
1. Stockton — Bay Area
2. Modesto — Stockton — Sacramento
Eligible projects that may be funded under this program include, but are not limited to:
• ACE stations
• Track improvements
• Locomotives and rail passenger cars
• Grade crossing controls
• Connections to BART and other transit systems
• Service planning and studies
Bus Transit
Bus Transit includes interregional/intra-city commute, inter -city, and elderly/persons with disabilities bus
service. Inter -city and Elderly/Persons with Disabilities Service promotes both bus service between the
cities within San Joaquin County for all trip purposes and specialized elderly/persons with disabilities bus
service throughout San Joaquin County. Interregional/Intra-city Commute Service includes bus programs
to promote peak hour, commute service. To address needs in the next two funding categories, the
Authority shall prepare and update every five years a 20 -year Regional Transit Systems Plan to allocate
monies from this program to promote the ridership on and the efficiency of peak hour, commute time and
intercity bus service. The San Joaquin Regional Transit District is to receive a minimum of 50% of the
funds allocated from this program for implementing the projects identified above in conformance with the
Regional Transit Systems Plan. Local jurisdiction transit programs are eligible to apply for funding
provided that, with the exception of local jurisdictions less than 75,000 in population, the San Joaquin
Regional Transit District and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, none of their Transportation
Development Act (TDA) local transportation funding (LTF) is claimed or reclaimed under Public Utilities
Code, Chapter 4, Article 8, Section 99400a for local streets and roads purposes, excluding pedestrian
and bicycle facilities.
15
Interregional/Intra-City Commute Service
These funds are to provide additional peak hour service to foster more commute trip making on transit.
Funding would be available for both capital and operations. Funding could go towards any project that
promotes the use of alternative transportation during the commute hours and is available to local
jurisdictions providing bus transit service. This funding category is to supplement existing service, not to
replace funding for existing service. This program is also available for facilities and the promotion of
rideshare alternatives such as carpools, vanpools, and buspools.
Eligible projects that may be funded under this program include, but are not limited to:
• Bus service to employment centers in other counties such as Alameda. Sacramento and
Stanislaus.
• Bus service to regional education centers.

STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
DISCUSSION:
Measure K Renewal Preliminary Draft
Expenditure Plan
Motion to Recommend the SJCOG Board of
Directors Forward the Measure K Renewal
Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan to the
Cities and the County for Formal Comments
In January 2006 SJCOG staffpresented a Preliminary Draft Measure K Renewal Expenditure
Plan to the SJCOG standing committees for discussion and comment. The results of those
discussions indicated that the January 2006 Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan had reconciled
most of the differences in comments received on the April 2005 Administrative Draft
Expenditure Plan. The one outstanding issue is the distribution formula for the Local Street
Repair and Roadway Safety category.
The Technical Advisory Committee, withstanding the County of San Joaquin, voted in support
of the January 2006 Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety
distribution proposal. The January 2006 Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan proposes a base
allocation distributedby the current formula with all increase in funds over the base distributed
by the jurisdiction's population percentage of the countywide total as follows:
« The base allocation would be equivalent to the total Local Street Repair funds received
by eachjurisdiction in 2010 under the current program to provide a minimum funding
guarantee and ensure that there would be no drop in actual funding received between the
current and renewal programs.
« The base allocation would be further inflated each year by the national Consumer Price
Index to provide a cost of living adjustment.
The distribution of the increase in funding over the base by population provides a
dynamic property to the formula to acknowledge changes in the region as it develops
over time.
« SJCOG staff calculations estimate that this formula would result in approximately 3 8% of
the total Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding going to the County with the
remaining 62% of the funding divided among the cities. This could change based on a
variety of factors.
The County has requested that there be separate distribution formulas for Local Street Repair and
Roadway Safety. According to the County request:
• Local Street Repair funding, constituting 86% of the combined funding, would be
distributed per the Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan formula, however, the County
would have an annual minimum guarantee of 40% of the Local Street Repair funds.
• Roadway Safety funding, constituting the remaining 14% of the combined funding,
would be distributed by the current formula (50% to County/50% to Cities).
• SJCOG staff calculations indicate that the County proposal would result in approximately
42% of the total Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding going to the County
with the remaining 58% divided among the cities.
The SJCOG Board of Directors asked that the TAC take one more opportunity to build
consensus on a Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety distribution formula. The following are
four options to assist in developing an agreement on a distribution formula:
1. Maintain the January 2006 Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan proposal, but provide the
County with an annual minimum guarantee of 40% of the combined Local Street Repair
and Roadway Safety funds. SJCOG staff calculations indicate that this option would
result in approximately 41 % of the total Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding
going to the County.
2. Maintain the January 2006 Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan proposal, but provide a
guarantee to the County of 40% of the combined Local Street Repair and Roadway
Safety funds over the life of the renewal program.
3. Distribute the combined Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding by a 2010 base
without any cost of living adjustment and the increase in revenues over the base by 50%
population and 50% lane miles. SJCOG staff calculations estimate that this option would
result in approximately 40% of the total Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding
going to the County.
4. Distribute Local Street Repair funding, constituting 86% of the combined funding per the
Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan formula and Roadway Safety funding, constituting
the remaining 14% of the combined funding, by the current formula. SJCOG staff
calculations estimate that this option would result in approximately 40% of the total
Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding going to the County.
SJCOG staff recommend that under all options the Consumer Price Index be locked at 3% or
held within a range between 2% and 4%. This recommendation is consistent with the average
annual National and California Consumer Price Indexes for the last ten years and provides
greater confidence with the estimates of future funding distribution. At the February TAC
meeting SJCOG staff will be presenting a Consumer Price Index and real growth rate sensitivity
model to review with the TAC how changes in the Consumer Price Index and real growth rate
impact the Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety funding distribution. This model will also
assist in presenting the impacts of an annual minimum guarantee to the County.
At their January 2006 meeting the SJCOG Board additionally directed SJCOG staff to discuss
with the Technical Advisory Committee the need for minimum guarantee of Local Street Repair
and Roadway Safety funding to the smaller cities. The current program provides a guarantee of
$100,000 to the smaller cities, however, as of this year all cities have populations that result in
their Local Street Repair distributions exceeding the $100,000 minimum. Members of the
SJCOG Board also expressed concern with language in the Preliminary Draft Expenditure Plan
that provides the opportunity for the Local Street Repair and Roadway Safety distribution
formula to be reviewed every three years. These SJCOG Board members commented that once
an agreement is reached, the agreement should remain in place for the duration of the renewal
program.
SCHEDULE OF REMAINING ACTIVITIES:
• SJCOG Board action to distribute the Final Draft Expenditure Plan to the cities and
County for review and comment will occur in February.
• SJCOG Board approval of the Final Expenditure Plan is scheduled for April, concurrent
with their certification of the Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
Measure K Renewal program.
