SUBJECT: Measure A Five-Year Program of Projects for FY 2024-2029 RECOMMENDATION:
A. Conduct a public hearing on the Measure A Five-Year Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2024-2029;
B. Adopt Resolution No. 24-___, entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Goleta, California, Adopting the Measure A Five -Year Local Program of Projects for FY 2024-2025 through FY 2028-2029”.
BACKGROUND:
In 2008 the voters of Santa Barbara County approved Local Transportation Authority Ordinance No. 5 (Ordinance), the Road Repair, Traffic Relief and Transportation Safety Measure or “Measure A, ” which established the Santa Barbara Transportation Improvement Program. Measure A is funded through a local one -half percent sales tax for a period of 30 years. The Santa Barbara County Association of Government (SBCAG) is the designated Local Transportation Authority and is responsible for the administration of the Measure A program and the allocation of revenues to the local agencies.
Measure A is estimated to provide more than $1 billion in local sales tax revenues for transportation projects in Sant a Barbara County over 30 years. The tax generated revenues are split between North and South areas of the County ( approximately 43.3% each) and the Highway 101 Widening Project (Carpinteria to Santa Barbara approximately 13.4%). Revenues to the North and South County areas are further divided up between various regional transportation projects and other local transportation programs identified in the adopted Measure A expenditure plan.
SBCAG has provided a five -year estimate of Measure A revenues (Attachme nt 1) and has calculated each jurisdiction’s allocation amounts in accordance with the Ordinance.
To receive its annual allocation of Measure A funds, the City of Goleta is required to prepare and adopt a five-year capital expenditure program, also known as a Program of Projects (POP) for Measure A tax revenues. City Council approval of the City’s POP must follow a noticed public hearing. The approved POP is then forwarded to SBCAG and is then presented to the SBCAG Board for review in April and adopt ion in May. A copy of the Measure A Local Allocation Rules Manual is located in the City Clerk’s office. 1 65266.00004\42146071.1
Meeting Date: April 2, 2024
DISCUSSION:
Public Works has prepared a draft POP based on SBCAG’s estimated Measure A revenue projections (Exhibit A to Attachment 2). This year's proposed five-year program of projects is similar to the previous year's program. The counties transit programs receive a direct allocation of Measure A funding directly from SBCAG (see Attachment 1). A brief description of each category of the proposed Measure A Five-Year POP is as follows:
Maintenance, Improvement or Construction of Roadways & Bridges: This category provides for a portion of the costs associated with the City’s annual pavement program, street maintenance , and other eligibl e improvements included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Urban Forestry Street Tree Program: This category covers a portion of the City’s annual street tree maintenance program.
Storm Damage Repair to Transportation Facilities: This category covers improvements and repair to transportation facilities due to storm damage.
Roadway Drainage Facilities: This category covers the costs associated with developing and improving the City’s storm drain projects and programs.
Traffic Signal Coordination, Intersection Channelization: This category covers the costs associated with maintaining and improving the City’s signalized intersections.
Landscaping Maintenance: This category covers the costs associated with maintaining and improving the City’s landscaped medians and street rights-of-way.
Matching Funds for State and Regional Programs and Projects: This category covers the costs associated with matching funding sources for upcoming and existing CIP projects.
Maintenance, Repair, Construction & Improvement of Bike & Pedestrian Facilities: This category provides for a portion of the cost s associated with the City’s annual sidewalk repair program and the maintenance and improvements to the City’s bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Safe Routes t o School Improvements: This category covers a portion of the costs associated with improving school zone safety and other safe routes to schools’ improvements.
Reduced Transit Fares for Seniors & Disabled: This category covers the City’s share of an operations subsidy for transportation services provided by Easy Lift Transportation.
The last three items listed above meet the City’s requirement to direct a minimum of 10% of the City’s Measure A funding to Alternative Transportation projects. For FY 202 4-25 through FY 2028-29, the City anticipates exceeding the minimum requirement by projecting a total of approximately 29% on Alternative Transportation qualifying projects.

Meeting Date: April 2, 2024
The table included in Attachment 1 shows the estimated amount of Measure A revenues the City will receive for FY 20 24-25 through FY 2028-29. These annual amounts were used to determine the future scope of projects listed in the five-year POP. The estimated apportionment, minus the South Coast Transit Operations amount, for FY 2024-25, is approximately $2.28 million.
The adoption of a five-year POP is a requirement included in the Ordinance. Adoption of a five-year POP does not necessarily bind the Council to the projects listed. The program can be modified at any time by the City Council if changes to the planned expe nditures are warranted. Measure A funds are intended to be flexible and adoption of the program is not meant to hinder Council policy with regard to street maintenance and project priorities. Staff is recommending Council adopt the Measure A Five -Year Local Program of Projects for FY 2024-25 through FY 2028-29, included in Attachment 2.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The City expects to receive Measure A allocation of $2,281,637 in FY 2024-25 based on SBCAG’s estimates of future sales tax revenues.
Maintenance of Effort:
The Ordinance includes a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) provision requiring the City to continue to expend discretionary funds (e.g. General Fund) on eligible street expenditures equal to or greater than the amount spent before the Ordinance was adopted. Measure A revenues were meant to supplement the discretionary funds that local agencies had historically expended on transportation purposes. The purpose of the MOE provision is to discourage local agencies from reducing the amount of discretionary funds e xpended on transportation purposes after initiation of the Measure A program.
The SBCAG Board approves the MOE amounts annually. The Ordinance allows for the MOE expenditure to be averaged over five years instead of being required to be expended on an annual basis. Tables 1 and 2 below lists the MOE five-year compliance period of FY 2020-21 through FY 2024-25. This is the fourth year of the five -year compliance period, the City exceeded the MOE amount for the prior five -year compliance period FY 2016-17 through FY 2020-21.
