HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06082010 - C.74RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT report on the proposed Fiscal Year 2010/11 budgets from the Congestion
Management Agency and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees, as
recommended by the Conservation and Development Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. The County contribution to the Congestion Management Agency
and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees is funded from the Public Works
Department and the Department of Conservation and Development budgets using gas tax
and Measure J Return-to-Source revenue. Those budgets have been approved separately.
BACKGROUND:
The agreement that created the County's Congestion Management Agency requires referral
of its budget to the member jurisdictions. Some regional transportation planning committees
have adopted a similar practice. In past years, these budgets have been of interest to the
Board of Supervisors. This report reviews the annual budgets of these entities for the
Board's information and includes a table (Attachment "A") comparing proposed budgets to
current budgets.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Draft FY 2010/11 Budgets of the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) and the Regional Transportation
Planning Committees (RTPC)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Congestion Management Agency (CMA): The County and the cities designated the
Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority) as the CMA and fund its operating
costs through a joint powers agreement. The local contributions to the CMA are
apportioned based on the formula used by the State for distributing Proposition 111 gas
tax revenue to cities and counties. Proposition 111 was a 1991 statewide referendum that
increased the gas tax by five cents and enabled establishment of congestion management
agencies in urban counties. Contributions by CMA member agencies are fixed at
$132,818. The member agencies contribution is allocated to all the local jurisdictions
based on budgeted costs less revenue received from STP (Surface Transportation
Program) & PPM (State Transportation Planning, Programming, and Monitoring). This
capped amount cannot be exceeded.
Southwest Area Transportation (SWAT) Committee: The SWAT Committee Budget
does not follow a fiscal year schedule. This budget is funded by equal contributions from
the six participating jurisdictions. Administrative support consists of compiling and
distributing agendas, staff support at the meeting, providing summaries of each meeting,
and coordinating the technical advisory committee.
Transportation Partnership and Cooperation (Transpac) Committee: The proposed
FY 2010/11 budget amount is less than 1% above the current budget. The proposed
budget includes a 2.5% cost-of-living plus merit for staff, which is 0.5% less than the
previous budget. Half of the cost to fund operations is apportioned equally to the six
participating jurisdictions. The other half is apportioned to these jurisdictions based on
their share of population and road mileage in the Transpac area. The budget includes
Transpac operations only, which consist of a Program Manager provided through a
part-time consultant contract, 0.5 FTE of an administrative assistant and related
overhead. The Transpac TAC reviewed the draft budget at its April 22, 2010 meeting
and recommended approval to Transpac with the caveat that the Transpac Manager in
consultation with the Chair may revise the budget to decrease the contributions required
by Transpac jurisdictions.
Transportation Planning for East Contra Costa County (Transplan): The budget is
funded by equal contributions from the five participating jurisdictions. The budget
provides administrative support to the Transplan Committee and its technical advisory
committee, staff support to represent the Committee before other entities and to carry out
decisions of the Committee. The Department provides this administrative support to the
Transplan Committee pursuant to a joint powers agreement that funds staff time and
materials. The work plan and budget for FY 2010/11 will be similar to the previous
budget.
West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC): WCCTAC
went through a fiscal audit for their FY 2009/10 budget. The proposed FY 2010/11
budget reflects the amendments from the previous budget. The amendments result in
budget reflects the amendments from the previous budget. The amendments result in
negligible or no net fiscal impacts to the Advisory Committee, Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) and other reimbursable accounts, and a net increase in STMP
revenues. The overall budget for FY 2010/11 is lower than the FY 2009/10 budget.
However, membership dues remain the same amount. The FY 2009/10 budget shows
higher expenses mostly attributed to consultant costs, with revenues from other sources to
cover these higher consultant expenses. There are eleven voting members on WCCTAC
(City of Richmond holds three votes; 27% contribution). The County has one vote and
pays a fixed share of the budget, which equates to 9.1% of WCCTAC's costs that are not
covered by other funding sources.
