SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2023/24 – 2027/28 Five Year Measure I Capital Improvement Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-58 approving the Measure I Five Year Capital Improvement Plan and Expense Strategy for Fiscal Years 2023/24 – 2027/28.
BACKGROUND
In November 2004, voters in San Bernardino County approved Ordinance 04-01, a second 30-year term to impose a one half of one percent retail transaction and sales tax to fund transportation related improvements and traffic management programs. Originally established in 1989 as Measure I, currently referred to as Measure I 2010-2040, revenue collected is to be utilized as follows:
70% Local Street Program (2% of the revenue is to be reserved for Project Development and Traffic Management Systems) 25% Major Local Highway Program (used to leverage against State/Federal funds) 5% Senior and Disabled Transit Program
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Jurisdictions receiving Measure I tax revenue from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Local Street Program must annually adopt, by action of their governing body, a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which outlines the projects upon which the Measure I pass-through funds will be expended. Only projects identified in the current CIP are eligible for use of Measure I revenue and only 50% of the estimated revenue can be programmed for use on general maintenance and city overhead. The other 50% of revenue should be programmed to specific road projects which identify projects by street name and project type. The Measure I Five Year (CIP) should also include an Expense Strategy, which explains the City’s policy approach and expenditure method in identifying projects to be funded by Measure I. SBCTA audits the City’s Measure I expenditures each year to ensure they are consistent with the projects programmed in the Measure I Five Year (CIP). The Measure I Five Year CIP report also lists projects that utilize other primary funding sources as outlined in the adopted CIP program, such as the Annual Street Improvement Projects and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Street project, in the event Measure I funds are needed to cover expenditures.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of the subject item. This action adopts the FY 2023/24 – 2027/28 Five Year Measure I Capital Improvement Plan for the purpose of expending Measure I revenues. Any changes in financial condition will be clarified with an amendment to the plan.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
Provide alternative direction to staff.
