AGENDA ITE M i°k CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TM AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to File Claim for 2010/11 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds in the Amount of $1,710,558 from Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and $217,922 from State Transit Assistance (STA) Fund MEETING DATE: May 18, 2011 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to file claim for 2010/11 Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds in the amount of $1,710,558 from Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and $217,922 from State Transit Assistance (STA) Fund. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, the City of Lodi receives an apportionment of TDA funds to support Lodi's transit operations and pedestrian/bicycle costs. These are State transportation funds that are primarily for non -vehicular (transit) transportation but can be used on roads if transit needs are being met. They are channeled through the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), our regional transportation planning agency. The claim for Fiscal Year 2010/11 is $1,710,558 from LTF and $217,922 from STA, as follows: LTF STA Total Transit Operations $1,607,214 $32,249 $1,639,463 Transit Capital Projects 182,000 182,000 Pedestrian/Bicycle Projects 50,000 50,000 SJCOG Planning and Administration 53.344 3.673 57,017 Total $1,710,558 $217,922 $1,928,480 As shown above, the LTF and STA funds will be utilized for transit operations, transit capital projects (CNG fueling station improvements, signs, shelters, etc.), pedestrian and bicycle projects (sidewalk repairs), and $57,017 for SJCOG planning and administration. Both the LTF and STA funds include unclaimed carryover funds from FY 09/10 in the amount of $125,335 ($81,435 for operations and $43,900 for pedestrian/bicycle) and $1,598, respectively. SJCOG plans to approve the TDA claim on May 26, 2011, following City Council's approval. The City Manager may make minor adjustments when filing the final claim, based upon SJCOG review and comments. For FY 2011/12, SJCOG estimates Lodi's TDA revenues to be $1.5 million. Lodi staff does not anticipate a transit service reduction next fiscal year, assuming Lodi continues to annually receive $120,000 in Measure K renewal funds to operate our Express Routes. Staff will continue to closely monitor our revenue sources. The transit operations, GrapeLine, Dial -A -Ride, and VineLine, are fully funded with TDA, Federal Transit Administration funds, fare revenues and other competitive fund sources. Transit is not dependent on any General Fund money. We intend to continue to use TDA funds for transit, pedestrian, and bicycle -related projects and maintenance as much as possible. FISCAL IMPACT: This action will allow the City to claim and receive TDA funding for FY 2010/11, which will pay for on-going operations and capital needs. FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required. Jk F.
