ORDINANCE NO. 2012-01
NAPA COUNTYWIDE ROAD MAINTENANCE ACT
IMPOSING A TRANSACTION AND USE TAX
TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
The Napa Valley Transportation Authority (the "Authority") ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. TITLE: This Ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the Napa Countywide Road Maintenance Act, hereinafter referred to as the Ordinance. This Ordinance establishes a retail transactions and use tax for a twenty-five year period commencing July 1, 2018, or upon early termination of the Measure A Flood Protection tax provided however that should the Flood Protection tax be extended by a vote of the electorate then this measure will not take effect until the expiration of such extension.
SECTION 2. EXPENDITURE PLAN PURPOSES: This Ordinance provides for the implementation of the Napa Valley Transportation Authority Transportation Improvement Expenditure Plan (the "Expenditure Plan") which will provide funding resulting in countywide local street and road improvements. This funding program will ensure improved maintenance of currently under-funded local community streets and supporting infrastructure (e.g., sidewalks, gutters, curbs) within the public right-of-way.
These improvements shall be funded by a one-half of one percent transactions and use tax established for a twenty-five year period commencing July 1, 2018, or upon expiration of the Measure A Flood Protection tax as expressed in Section 1 above. The revenues shall be deposited in a special fund, used solely for the identified improvements as provided herein, and made available to the agencies responsible for the improvements for all purposes necessary for the approval and implementation of the tasks. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, identified improvements (the "projects" or "programs") that are eligible to receive revenues from the tax are described in the Expenditure Plan, which Expenditure Plan is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION 3. EXPENDITURE PLAN SUMMARY: The revenues received by the Authority from this Ordinance, after deduction of required Board of Equalization costs for performing the functions specified in Section 180204(b) of the Public Utilities Code, reimbursing the County of Napa for its cost in conducting the election if the measure is approved per Section 180203(a) of the Public Utilities Code, administration (Section 12 A), and the costs of the annual financial and biennial performance audits (Section 11), shall be used to fund the improvements set forth herein. In the event the measure does not pass, the costs for conducting the election shall be borne by the Authority. A summary of the projects and programs that are eligible to receive this funding is provided in the following sections. All funding and revenues are expressed in 2011 dollars. The annual revenues shall be allocated as follows:
A. Local Streets and Roads Maintenance Program: Subject to Paragraph B, of the annual revenues available, ninety-nine percent (99%) shall be allocated on a
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT 2
fair and equitable basis (pursuant to the distribution formula set forth below) to each city, town, and the county (hereinafter referred to individually as Agency and collectively as Agencies) to provide revenue for such projects and to supplement, but not supplant, other revenues available for the Local Streets and Road Maintenance Program. The revenues allocated to each Agency under this Section 3(A) must be used for maintenance, reconstruction or rehabilitation of local streets, roads, and infrastructure within the public right-of-way. Total estimated funding= $282.15 million (2011 dollars).
1) The revenue allocated to the Local Streets and Roads Maintenance Program shall be allocated to, and expended by, each Agency pursuant to the following distribution formula:
a. To the City of American Canyon 7.7% of the annual revenues available. b. To the City of Calistoga 2.7% of the annual revenues available. c. To the City of Napa 40.35% of the annual revenues available. d. To the County of Napa 39.65% of the annual revenues available. e. To the City of St. Helena 5.9% of the annual revenues available. f. To the Town of Yountville 2.7% of the annual revenues available.
Net revenues, plus interest earned, shall be apportioned to the Agencies' transportation improvement account on a quarterly basis.
B. Once this measure becomes operative, in order to receive annual allocations under this measure, the Agencies (collectively) must demonstrate that at least six and sixty-seven one-hundredths percent (6.67%) of the value of the allocations each year under Section 3(A) has been committed to Class I Bike lane project(s) identified in the adopted Countywide Bicycle Plan, as that Plan may be amended from time to time, through funding not derived from this Ordinance. This obligation may be fulfilled by the NCTPA and NVTA in programming Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) funding (or its successor), plus other local or formula specific funds, in an amount that equals 6.67% over the term of this ordinance. Funding for Class I Bike lane projects that are funded by philanthropy, state discretionary funding or federal discretionary funding shall not count toward the six and sixty-seven one-hundredths percent (6.67%). As used in this Section, discretionary funding means any funding that is not tied to a specific state or federal program or formula.
C. Administration: Actual costs, not to exceed one percent (1 %) of the annual revenue, may be used for administration of this Ordinance by the Authority. Total estimated funding = $2.82 million (2011 dollars).

3. Disbursements
a. Allocations of Taxes to the Agencies from the Authority As s
tated in Section 13 of Ordinance No 2012-01 “The Authority Auditor shall allocate funds to the agencies on a calendar quarter basis, together with any accrued interest, by the 20th day of the month following the end of the quarter.” In order to comply with this section, once the agencies are deemed eligible for receiving funds by NVTA-TA, on a quarterly basis as prescribed above, the Auditor-Controller shall run a detailed report on the activity in each sub-division’s cash account showing the monthly sales tax allocations and interest earnings.

Expen
ditures are to be recorded on an accrual basis.

4. Financial Reporting Requirements for Measure T Funds held by NVTA-TA a. As stat
ed in 3.a above, after quarterly interest is posted by the County Treasurer the funds will be transferred to each agency.
b. Quarterly review of all transactions within each sub-division will be completed to ensure all postings are accurate and timely.
c. An annual review will occur prior to official close of the books to ensure all postings are accurate and timely and that all funds have been transferred to the appropriate agency as specified in the Master Agreement
5. Agency Record Keeping
a. Each
agency must keep the funds segregated in a special revenue fund specifically for Measure T.
All
revenue sources and expenditures using the revenues sources shall be fully accounted for.
Measure T funds should be recorded as Other Governmental Revenue on the agency books. All project expenditures should be budgeted for and disbursed from these funds so that a full accounting is captured, within proper accounting categories.
Each ag
ency accounts for and tracks its capital projects in a capital project fund and each project may include multiple funding sources. Each agency must provide a full accounting of all revenues and expenses attributed to each specific project. Therefore, expenditures within the Measure T special revenue fund, shall include “transfers out” to other funds for the monies being used within a capital project that was approved by the Master Agreement, as may be amended. Agencies shall keep the records using accrual accounting, setting up both receivables and payables as of June 30, of each fiscal year.
Definition: A Special Revenue Fund is a governmental fund type used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. The use of a special revenue fund ensures segregation of restricted funds, the ability to allocate proper interest earnings and ease of tracking the inflows and outflows of the revenues.
b. To ens
ure compliance with the 6.67% Class 1 path requirement, each agency will track all revenues and expenditures related to these projects and include the information on the progress reports discussed in #6 below.

y expenditure will have supporting documentation, including invoices and proper authorizations, to ensure that all costs charged to the funds are eligible and in full compliance with the Master Agreement. This documentation shall be maintained by each agency and shall be made available for inspection and audits upon request by either the Auditor-Controller or NVTA-TA.
Semi-
Annual Progress Reports are due March 1st (for the period of July – December) and September 1st (for the period of January – June). Each progress report shall provide a summary listing consisting ATTACHMENT 2

of the Project Name, Approved Budget, Amount spent to date, Amount remaining, Percentage of Completion, and Date Completed if applicable. In addition, each agency will provide an accounting of the Class 1 path requirement, both year-to-date and cumulative since inception of the tax. (Exhibit E – Agency Progress Report)
Att
ached to each summary shall be a system generated trial balance report and detailed expenditure listing for the Special Revenue funds listed in Item 5 above. If, in the course of an expenditure review or audit, it is determined that an ineligible expense was made, the jurisdiction will be directed to return the funds to the LS&R Special Revenue fund for a future eligible expense.
Once
the agency’s general ledger is considered closed for the fiscal year and a comprehensive audit is completed, as stated in Section 4 of the Master Funding Agreement, and after approved by the jurisdictions governing body, each Agency will provide a copy of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) January 31st of the next fiscal year.
7. Annual Audits
All
audits and record keeping will be performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and Government Accounting Standards (GAS) • The Au
ditor-Controller will oversee the annual accounting and fiscal process through review of quarterly and annual reports submitted by each agency.
• NVTA-TA will oversee project performance through review of semi-annual reports submitted by each agency.
• Each Agency (County/Cities/Town) will procure an independent certified public accountant to conduct an annual financial audit that includes in its scope all transactions regarding Measure T.
This will NOT be an additional audit on top of their Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, as these funds are included in their overall agency operations for specified projects. Any findings will be communicated to the Authority Auditor, who will then present to the ITOC and Authority. • NVTA-TA will have an independent annual financial audit.. The audit will contain supplementary schedules which summarize each jurisdiction financial status regarding Measure T funds. This audit will be presented by the Independent Auditor and the Authority Auditor to the ITOC and Authority.
• Each agency will undergo a performance and compliance audit every three years, which is non- financial in nature. This audit shall be focused on the projects and compliance with the Master Agreement. This audit will be presented by the Independent Auditor to NVTA-TA and the ITOC.
The audits will be completed on a rotating basis with the City of Napa and Town of Yountville the first year, the County of Napa and City of St. Helena the second year, then the Cities of American Canyon and Calistoga thereafter. .
• The above audits satisfy all audit requirements in the Ordinance. Each agency is audited through their respective fiscal comprehensive annual audit process, the Authority will undergo a separate independent financial audit, and the independent performance and compliance audits on each agency will be completed triennially.
• Audits are construed as Administrative Expenditures and will be paid directly from the ITOC budget unit. There is a maximum of $70,000 per year (adjusted for inflation on the CPI) for annual financial and performance audits. NVTA-TA and the Authority Auditor will track these expenditures annually to ensure the maximum is not exceeded.

The Community Report is construed as Administrative Expenditures and will be paid directly from the ITOC budget unit.
9. Interagency Loans
In th
e event that one agency requests a loan from another for approved projects, an interagency loan agreement will be executed. Each agency shall record a due to/due from amount on their respective books with an approved pay back schedule. Total pay back must occur prior to the sunset of the tax.
