2 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR S REPORT MARCH 30, 2016 AGENDA ITEM # 2 Action Requested: Key Staff: Receive and file Jeffrey Spencer, Executive Director I am delighted to introduce myself and my first Director s Report. My first two weeks here at STA have been filled with activity. I have been reviewing our financials, working on the proposed tax measure, getting to know and understand our structure and responsibilities, and responded to the public s requests for information. Sacramentans have a keen interest in their quality of life, where transportation is key. It is my role to inform the Board about the various key issues, analyses and policy considerations for the development of the draft Transportation Expenditure Plan. The continuation of local funding for important transportation projects is imperative to keeping ahead of the transportation issues produced by population and economic growth. Our modern age has an insatiable appetite for news and, typically for the media, that means bad news. The many projects funded by the past sales tax measures have improved access to jobs and recreation, and reduced congestion and associated air quality impacts. This is the good news that doesn t make the headlines, but it should. I have reviewed the TEP s major components, including near-term transitional strategies and long-term initiatives to pay for the region s transportation system; considered first/last mile solutions to increase transit usage; integrating and coordinating transportation improvements; and a regional perspective of reducing congestion and improving air quality. As we prepare for future transportation improvements, the plans need to reflect the need for such improvements. The draft includes investments in maintaining the current infrastructure as a priority. Expansion of critical infrastructure is matched to the projected growth in the region. The growth forecast, and the process for allocating it within the region are affected by federal and state requirements related to regional transportation plans and the Clean Air Act. (See Cal. Gov. Code, 65080; 23 U.S.C. 134; 42 U.S.C. 7506; 23 C.F.R. pt. 450; 40 C.F.R. pt. 93).

The allocation of these funds may be affected by federal requirements. (See 23 U.S.C.; 49 C.F.R. pt. 940) Interoperability will be essential key to managing regional congestion and providing seamless public transportation options and providing the best return on our investment. OTHER Metro Chamber Cap-to-Cap Trip. The 2016 Capitol-to-Capitol trip put together by the Sacramento Metro Chamber is April I will be attending and helping to guide the team to productive meetings using my knowledge of the contacts in DC. I have assigned myself to the Transportation team as primary and the Economic Development and Planning team as secondary. I hope to network and get to know the members of the team, and to fully represent Sacramento s needs to the decision-makers in DC. April STA Governing Board Meeting. STA will be contacting your administrative staffs to seek open alternate dates to the currently-scheduled April 14 Board meeting. April 14 is the day after we return from the Cap-to-Cap trip and may frustrate the ability to conduct the meeting. Recommend postponing the meeting until the following Thursday, April 21. Recruitment of new Accounting Manager. Lisa Valine, our current Accounting Manager, has tendered her resignation to retirement effective April 29, The STA thanks her for her 6 years of service to STA, and her 19 years of public service. The STA will begin recruitment immediately.

4 MARCH 30, 2016 AGENDA ITEM # 3 WORKSHOP: DRAFT TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR A POTENTIAL SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX MEASURE Action Requested: Key Staff: None today; workshop only Jeffrey Spencer, Executive Director Recommendation Review and comment on draft Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) Direct staff to prepare a final Transportation Expenditure Plan for consideration at the next STA Governing Board meeting Discussion The Measure A Professional Advisory Group (PAG) comprised of staff representatives of each of the cities, the County, Regional Transit, Paratransit, Caltrans, and the Capital Southeast Connector JPA have been meeting with consultant Mark Capitolo to craft a balanced expenditure plan to would guide how proceeds from a supplemental transportation sales tax would be spent. The final result of their work is the attached draft TEP. Mark Capitolo of Duffy & Capitolo will present the Draft Transportation Expenditure Plan to your Board. Staff is seeking your comments and suggestions to be incorporated into a final TEP to be considered for adoption at the next STA Governing Board meeting in April. State Law requires that, before the STA Board may adopt the sales tax ordinance and Expenditure Plan, the Expenditure Plan must first be approved by "the board of supervisors and the city councils representing both a majority of the cities in the county and a majority of the population residing in the incorporated areas of the county." (Cal. Public Utilities Code, ) The STA Board may tentatively adopt the Expenditure Plan, then once STA obtains the necessary County and City approvals of the Expenditure Plan, it will consider final adoption of the ordinance and Expenditure Plan and forward the Measure to the Board of Supervisors for placement on the November ballot. Attachment

5 Measure Sacramento County Transportation Expenditure Plan, Revenue Estimates and Distribution. Allocation of revenue authorized by Ordinance No. STA- 16- is established within this Expenditure Plan. Funds shall be allocated to Expenditure Plan categories by percentage of revenue received. An estimate of revenues and allocation among categories is reflected in this Expenditure Plan. Some category allocations will be sub-allocated by formula to specified local transportation providers for specified expenditures as set forth below. The estimated revenue is based on 2016 value of funds and is not binding or controlling. Estimated revenues are net of required California Board of Equalization administrative fees. Contribution from New Property Development. This Measure Expenditure Plan does not impose a new impact fee requirement on property development. No revenue generated from the tax, however, shall be used to supplant transportation mitigation fees currently imposed on new property development in Sacramento County. The County and each incorporated city must continue to impose transportation impact fee programs as required in Ordinance No. STA as a prerequisite for receiving Measure funds. Requirement for Annual Financial and Performance Audits of Measure Funds. The Authority and each agency receiving an allocation of Measure revenue authorized by this Expenditure Plan shall undergo an annual financial audit performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards (GAAP) and government auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The annual audit shall be supervised by the STA s Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee (ITOC). Compliance audits shall also be periodically conducted to ensure that Measure funds are expended in accordance with the provisions and guidelines established by this Ordinance. In addition, the ITOC shall conduct periodic performance audits to determine progress in meeting program performance standards adopted by the Authority Board, and to make recommendations for improving overall program performance. The Authority Board shall adopt the relevant performance standards no later than April 1, Revenue Estimate. Tax revenues generated by this Ordinance during the thirty year term are expected to be $3,614,000,000 based on 2016 dollar values. The revenue estimate is not binding or controlling. The Authority Board shall make periodic allocation adjustments to reflect actual revenues received, but may not amend the formula allocation set forth below except as permitted in Exhibit B to this Ordinance.
