23. 9:30 a.m. PUBLIC HEARING – Consideration of certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Proposed North Coast Rail Trail Project and Selection of the “Proposed Project” (Coastal Side) as the Preferred Alternative

Cory Caletti, Senior Transportation Planner, presented the staff report. Commissioner Johnson left and was replaced by Commissioner Alternate Dilles. Commissioners discussed: whether the North Coast segment could proceed on its own without being connected with the remainder of the trail system, the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST); proposed project timelines; impacts to funding; California Transportation Commission (CTC) funding; whether the certification of Final Environmental Impact Report preordains particular project outcomes; federal grant funding; and that the project will provide infrastructure improvements in the North Coast that will support its increasing population, provide bicycle facilities, and improve safety for all. Jim Moose, Special Legal Counsel, stated that in respect with the larger trail system part of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST), the proposed project has independent utility and logical termini, and that the action to continue freight service on the rail right of way was a separate action from this project.

5-4


Chair Bottorff opened the Public hearing at 10:32 a.m.

Robert Rodoni, North Coast Farmers, stated that the crossings along the trail are critical to the operations of farms in the North Coast and asked that the RTC continue to work with the farmers to reach consensus. Brian Peoples, Trail Now, stated that the Farmer’s Plan allows for greater pedestrian access and addresses farmers concerns. He also stated that the staff recommendation will not meet the proposed deadlines. Mr. Peoples asked that the RTC work with the North Coast farmers and local property owners to reach a consensus on the project. David Van Brink, Santa Cruz City, remarked that the claims made on the Sierra Club’s March 5, 2019 comment letter are not supported by facts. Gillian Greensite, Sierra Club, appreciated that some of the Sierra Club’s concerns were addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) but stated that there are still concerns regarding the California Red Legged Frog; tree removal; closing of crossings and pesticide use. She noted that they are asking for a 3:1 mitigation for habitat loss and tree removal. Sheila Brannen, California State Parks Santa Cruz District, commented on the California State Park’s on-going partnership with the RTC and its collaboration in designing the project, which will bring beneficial recreation facilities to the area. Ms. Brannen supports the staff recommendation. Val Cole, Santa Cruz County resident, stated that the change.org petition he created in support of the staff recommendation had obtained 456 signatures as of 9 a.m. this morning. Mr. Cole stated that this trail will provide safe recreation options on the North Coast. Barry Scott, Aptos resident, supports the proposed plan and future use of the tracks for passenger rail service. Mr. Scott asked for the proposed plan to be approved and for the trail to be built soon. Tina Andreatta, Aptos resident, supports the rail line, asked for the proposed project to be approved, and for expeditious construction of the trail. Ms. Andreatta also asked that the rail line be repaired so that it can be used as soon as possible. Sally Arnold, Friends of the Rail and Trail, noted that there is overwhelming community support for the proposed plan and urged for it to be approved. Ms. Arnold stated that the proposed plan presents the safest, most economical, sustainable, and efficient option for the community. Erica Stanojevic, Sierra Club, stated that the proposed project mitigation for impact to the California Red-Legged Frog and mature trees alongside the

5-5


tracks does not seem adequate and requested a 3:1 mitigation for habitat loss and tree removal. Janneke Straus, Bike Santa Cruz County, stated that the proposed project has the most expedient construction timeline, is the safest, most environmentally sustainable, and has the best design. Ms. Straus asked for the proposed project to be approved. Marty Demare, North Coast resident, urged for the Final EIR not to be certified and that parking along the trail be reexamined prior to the certification of an EIR. Mr. Demare stated that shoulder parking along Highway 1 is not safe or sustainable, and that it could set a dangerous precedent. Ian, Felton resident, stated that the rail tracks, the trail, and the railroad provide many benefits to the community. Stephen Slade, Land Trust of Santa Cruz County, urged for approval of the staff recommendation, certification of the Final EIR, selection of the proposed project, and for the RTC to move forward to get this project built. Mark Mesiti-Miller, Friends of the Rail and Trail, stated that the north coast farmers are an asset to the community, that they raised important concerns, but that those concerns do not present an impediment to certifying the Final EIR. Mr. Mesiti-Miller asked for the proposed project to be approved and the Final EIR to be certified. Ryan Sarnataro, Live Oak resident, supports the staff recommendation because it will protect cyclists. Mr. Sarnataro asked that this segment not be used as a template for the remaining segments of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST) as every section of the trail will have its unique needs and requirements. Public Hearing was closed at 10:55 a.m. Commissioner comments: thanked the entire project team for their work and dedication on this project; that the vision for this project represents collaboration and partnership between federal, state, government agencies, local organizations, and private citizens; timeline for the RTC board to obtain feedback on effectiveness of the proposed mitigation measures; feasibility of closing the Laguna Crossing; required monitoring timeline to achieve a successful mitigation outcome; and that the proposed project will improve safety and infrastructure for cyclists along Highway 1. Commissioner Coonerty moved and Commissioner Leopold seconded the staff recommendation to adopt a resolution (20-19) to:

5-6


a. Certify the Final Environmental Impact Report for the North Coast Rail Trail as being compliant with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and

b. Select the “Proposed Project” (Coastal Side) as the preferred alternative; adopt the CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program with errata to address minor changes.

The motion carried unanimously with Commissioners Bertrand, Bottorff, Brown, Coonerty, Gonzalez, Leopold, McPherson, and Commissioner Alternates Dilles, Gregorio, Hurst, and Mulhearn voting “aye.”

8. Approve Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 Cap and Trade – Low Carbon Transit

Operations Program (LCTOP) Rachel Moriconi, Senior Transportation Planner, presented the staff report noting specifically the changes in fund allocation for this year.

Ray Cancino, Community Bridges, thanked Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District (METRO) for their partnership and stated that the funding allocated to Community Bridges will allow it to acquire new electric buses to facilitate transportation of all county residents and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Kirk Ace, Community Bridges Lift Line, thanked the RTC and METRO for continued support and collaboration. Mr. Ace spoke on the several LCTOP-funded Community Bridges/Lift Line projects that will improve transportation options throughout the county and the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Commissioner comments: lauded inter-agency collaboration in using these funds to achieve cleaner transportation options in the county and reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and addressing the needs of the elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged communities.

Commissioner McPherson moved and Commissioner Gonzalez seconded the staff recommendation to adopt resolution (17-18) designating the RTC’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 share of Low Carbon transit Operations Program (LCTOP) funds ($511,315) to Santa Cruz METRO and Community Bridges Lift Line projects, and authorize staff to sign and execute any agreements necessary to distribute LCTOP funds to Santa Cruz METRO and Community Bridges Lift Line. The motion carried unanimously with Commissioners Bertrand, Bottorff, Brown, Coonerty, Gonzalez, Leopold, McPherson, and Commissioner Alternates Dilles, Gregorio, Hurst, and Mulhearn voting “aye.”

2. Oral Communications

5-7


Gillian Greensite, Santa Cruz County resident, spoke on the need for more easily readable and readily available bus schedules. She recommends an alert system similar to the one used in Australia. Ryan Sarnataro, Live Oak resident, stated that a train option on the right of way is infeasible and unpopular, and that funding is available to build greenways. Michael Saint, Campaign for Sustainable Transportation, urged for the RTC not to pursue the auxiliary lane project. Mr. Saint expressed that this project is an outdated form of transportation planning, it adds on to the issues that have led to the current climate crisis, it will not enhance the region’s transportation system, and that it is not a long-term solution to the county’s transportation problems.

19. Commissioner reports – oral report None

March 8, 2019 Susan Bransen Executive Director California Transportation Commission 1120 N Street, MS-52 PO Box 942873 Sacramento, CA 94273-0001 RE: Santa Cruz County Rail Project Updates Dear Director Bransen and Commissioners: The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) appreciates the opportunity to update you and the California Transportation Commission (CTC) regarding the RTC’s recently completed Unified Corridor Investment Study (UCS) and plans for rail service on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line. As you know, the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line is a very important transportation facility for our county and we greatly appreciate the CTC’s longstanding support of projects on the corridor. This 32-mile corridor, which has been used since the mid-1870s, is within a mile of approximately half of the county’s residents and major businesses, and it runs parallel to often congested Highway 1 and arterial roadways. The rail line runs from the coastal town of Davenport in the north, through Santa Cruz, Live Oak, Capitola, Seacliff, Aptos, Watsonville, and ends at Pajaro, in northern Monterey County where it connects to regional and state rail lines. The RTC understands that state law (PUC §99640) requires Proposition 116 bond funds to be used for: (a) intercity passenger rail projects connecting the City of Santa Cruz with the Watsonville Junction, or (b) other rail projects within Santa Cruz County which facilitate recreational, commuter, intercity and intercounty travel. The RTC is committed to meeting the requirements set by Proposition 116 and CTC Resolutions. The attached Fact Sheet (Attachment 1) provides a summary of RTC’s plans for rail service. Attachment 2 describes how RTC has met the conditions outlined in CTC Resolution PA-10-06. The RTC purchased the rail corridor from Union Pacific in 2012 and consistent with Proposition 116 and CTC conditions, the short line operator continued freight rail service and immediately initiated recreational passenger service after the close of escrow. The RTC and short line operators have also made significant repairs and upgrades to railroad infrastructure and Santa Cruz County voters approved Measure D in 2016, which includes funds for rail line maintenance and repairs. Since that time, the RTC has evaluated service options for public transit service in

12a-1

the corridor, including potential station locations, costs, ridership projections, and schedules. While there have been proposals by some community members and groups to railbank or remove the railroad tracks, in January 2019, after extensive analysis and public input conducted through the Unified Corridor Study, the RTC board unanimously affirmed its commitment to leave the railroad infrastructure in place, maintain freight rail service, and institute high-capacity public transit service. While initiating high-capacity public transit service in the rail corridor is part of the preferred scenario approved by the RTC on January 19, 2019, it will not happen immediately. The RTC wants to get it right and is working with the bus transit operator, Caltrans Division of Rail, partners in Monterey County and the Coast Rail Coordinating Council to discuss critical network integration. The RTC will need to conduct environmental review and most importantly secure funding for capital and operations. The State Rail Plan, SB1-Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) provide significant opportunities to expand transit service in our county. We look forward to partnering with the CTC, Caltrans, CalSTA and FTA to do so. As previously discussed, the RTC purchased the rail line to increase mobility options for our community, visitors, and businesses. The rail corridor provides an alternative to congested roadways, it connects our major cities and towns, connects to rail lines serving the rest of the state, supports more compact development and more predictable travel times, and can help us meet state greenhouse gas reduction targets. We appreciate the CTC’s ongoing commitment to preserve existing transportation systems and improve transit, goods movement, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and local and state roadways. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. As always, we look forward to working with you and your staff to improve and expand transportation options in Santa Cruz County and welcome you, CTC Commissioners and/or staff to meet with me or the RTC board to discuss the Santa Cruz Branch Rail corridor. Sincerely, Guy Preston Executive Director i:\rail\rowacq\ctc\bransen-march2019.docx

Attachment 1 Fact Sheet

Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line

SCCRTC is meeting the conditions of the Prop 116 funds:

Short line Railroad operator in place; 10-year ACL executed between SCCRTC and Progressive Rail, Inc.

Active freight service Passenger Rail Service requirement is met by recreational passenger rail service until

commuter rail service is implemented

Passenger Rail Implementation:

Adoption of the Unified Corridor Investment Study in January 2019: o Unanimously affirmed leaving railroad infrastructure in place o Preserving corridor for future high-capacity public transit service o Freight service continuing and excursion passenger rail service in the near term

High capacity transit service is planned for the rail corridor An alternatives analysis will be conducted to narrow down transit options to be studied

under CEQA. This will simplify the future CEQA analysis, as well as reduce cost and duration.

Ongoing Efforts:

Storm Damage Repairs ongoing; completion 2020 Bridge Inspections of 29 bridges ongoing; repairs needed to timber trestles. Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail within the corridor adjacent to the rail (Rail Trail) Working with Caltrans Rail

o Will pursue Network Integration Study funds o Participating in regional and statewide Network Integration Study efforts

12a-3

Attachment 2

CTC Conditions (Resolution PA-10-06, Amending Resolution PA-08-01) 1. Provide the CTC a copy of the executed Administration, Coordination and License

Agreement between the RTC and operator Approved and executed by the SCCRTC on October 14, 2010, and delivered to CTC staff

same day. The initial rail operator (Iowa Pacific Holdings) is no longer operating on the rail line and after a public competitive process the RTC selected a new operator (Progressive Rail) who took over from Iowa Pacific. The RTC entered into an Administration Coordination and License Agreement with Progressive Rail which is very similar to the agreement with the initial operator.

2. Explain the use of Net Liquidation Value (NLV) as the methodology for the appraisal

valuation to support the request of $10.2 million in Proposition 116 funds and $4 million in State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds;

Information was provided to CTC in 2009-2011 via appraisals, supplemental information,

and various written and oral communications with Caltrans and CTC staff;

Caltrans Division of Right-of-Way recommended approval of the $14.2 million funding for purchase of the rail line following review of the appraisal and supplemental information provided

3. Commit, by resolution, to be responsible for initiating recreational passenger rail service, in accordance with Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99640;

Resolution 04-11 approved by the SCCRTC on August 5, 2010. The rail corridor has been used for expanded excursion passenger rail service. Within

weeks of RTC taking ownership in 2012, RTC’s short-line operator, Iowa Pacific Holdings initiated the “Train to Christmas Town.” Additionally, historic steam trains, demonstration trains, and other holiday trains have operated on the line ever since. However, due to significant storm damage to some sections of the line during the 2017 storms that impacted facilities statewide, expanded recreational service has been on hold until repairs are made (expected completion 2020). The current rail operator was granted the license for recreational passenger rail service and will put together an operating plan for such service for consideration by the SCCRTC.

4. Commit, by resolution, to be responsible for continuing freight rail service for as long as

would be required by the Surface Transportation Board (STB); Resolution 04-11 approved by the SCCRTC on August 5, 2010. Freight operations have continued on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line. The line

remains in “common carrier status” under the Surface Transportation Board and freight services will continue as required by the STB.

12a-4

On June 14, 2018, the RTC approved the Administration, Coordination and License Agreement with Progressive Rail to serve as the new short-line operator - Progressive Rail - for rail operations on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line. Progressive Rail is replacing Iowa Pacific Holdings (IPH) as the short-line operator. Unfortunately, the financial situation for IPH changed and IPH became unable to fulfill all the terms of its administration, coordination and license agreement with the RTC. IPH worked with the RTC to transition the operation to the new operator. The RTC’s agreement with Progressive Rail ensures that the RTC, as the owner of the rail line, meets its obligations to the California Transportation Commission, Caltrans, the Surface Transportation Board, the Federal Railroad Administration, the California Public Utilities Commission and the local businesses who depend on rail service for goods movement.

5. Commit, by resolution, to be responsible for hazardous waste clean-up and not seek State

transportation funds for any clean-up costs and to indemnify the State for both present and future hazardous waste clean-up liabilities; and

Resolution 29-10 approved by the SCCRTC on May 6, 2010.

6. If the RTC ceases to use the Branch Line for the original purpose as approved by the CTC,

RTC commits, by resolution, to reimburse the State the allocated amount or the then fair market value of the property.

Resolution 04-11 approved by the SCCRTC on August 5, 2010. RTC board understands this requirement and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining

the railroad infrastructure on January 19, 2019. In 2013-15, the RTC utilized $5.3 million in STIP funds allocated by the CTC for

structures and other rail infrastructure upgrades needed to maintain and expand passenger and freight rail service. Construction included replacement of the 340-foot-long steel La Selva Bridge, replacement of a small timber bridge with a culvert and rehabilitation of three other timber bridges.

In 2012, 2013 and 2016 Iowa Pacific Holdings upgraded different sections of the track from excepted track to Class 1 in advance of running excursion trains. In total this includes about 15 miles of the 32-mile rail line.

In 2015, the RTC completed a Rail Transit Feasibility Study that looked at a range of transit service options for the corridor. The study found that rail transit service on the branch line is feasible, with strong partnership with the state. The RTC appreciates CTC Commissioner Ghielmetti’s suggestion earlier this year for RTC and other potential and existing transit operators to continue discussions about opportunities for funding new transit services statewide.

In 2016, more than 2/3rds of voters in Santa Cruz County approved Measure D. The Measure D Expenditure Plan dedicates 8% of revenues from the half-cent sales tax for the Rail Corridor - infrastructure preservation and analysis of future potential uses of the corridor to better serve Santa Cruz County residents and visitors. Projects include maintaining and repairing the publicly-owned Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line and analysis (including environmental and economic analysis) to answer important community

12a-5

questions about possible future transit and other transportation uses of the corridor through an open, transparent public process.

Consistent with Measure D, a Caltrans Planning Grant, and the Senate Bill 1 Congested Corridor program, the RTC prepared a comprehensive Unified Corridor Investment Study (UCS). Through the UCS, the RTC examined how a range of transportation improvements work together to make the most effective use of the community’s north/south transportation corridor including three parallel routes: Highway 1, Soquel Ave/Dr-Freedom Blvd, and the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line. As requested by the community, the range of options evaluated included trail with transit and trail-only options. This study builds on analysis done in the 2015 Rail Transit Feasibility Study, the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network (MBSST) Master Plan, and the Highway 1 corridor plans. While there are members of the community who would like to see the track removed, the RTC has maintained that it wants to maximize the transportation benefits of the line.

Sections of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network (MBSST) – rail trail which are currently under development are being built adjacent to, and not in place of, the railroad tracks.

In April 2018, the RTC established a list of on-call consultants to provide assistance with civil engineering, structure inspections and engineering, and construction management; as well as assessment and/or execution of civil engineering reports, design, cost estimates and related work, traffic engineering related to grade crossing concerns, inspection of rail bridges and culverts, right of way engineering, and other tasks required for the upkeep of the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line Property.

District 5 Kicks Off

Active Transportation Plan Caltrans is developing active transportation

plans in all 12 Districts statewide. Its

consultant, Toole Design Group, will create

and implement a route prioritization—

emphasizing social equity—to identify bicycle

and pedestrian network gaps, performance

metrics and improvements. District 5 will

work with multiple stakeholders and the

public to identify needs and develop active

transportation solutions on, across, and

parallel to, the state highway system. The

District plan will establish a vision with local

partners for a safe network supporting

healthy communities for all users, especially

in disadvantaged areas. Main goals for the

plan include safety improvements,

developing long-term strategies for

multimodal options, better connectivity and

accessibility, exploring shared mobility

systems for short trips, identifying needs

unique to rural and main street corridors,

coordinating with trail networks, and

maintaining long-term active transportation

facilities. The District will roll out the major

planning effort in early spring 2019. For more

information, contact Terri Persons, District 5

Active Transportation Coordinator at [email protected]

Asset Management Coming

District 5 is engaging local partners in asset

management implementation. The District’s

strategies are based on the Caltrans 2018

California Transportation Asset Management

Plan developed in partnership statewide.

Nearly $2.7 billion in SB 1 funding is expected

to be available statewide through 2027 to

address pavement, culverts and

transportation management systems as well

as office buildings, roadside rest facilities and

weigh stations.

Asset management calls for investing in

highway infrastructure based on total life-

cycle costs from design to long-term upkeep.

It also stresses the fix-it-first approach using

preventive maintenance to improve or

preserve existing assets and not expand

highway capacity. More information: http://www.dot.ca.gov/assetmgmt/documents/TA

Innovating Safety District 5 is now using automated flagging

assistance devices for temporary traffic

control with high visibility signal heads. Just

one person is needed to operate the hand-

held remote control while standing well

beyond the roadway and moving traffic.

These devices are used in the daytime for

short-term lane or road closures for bridge

maintenance, haul road crossing, and

guardrail and pavement repairs. They do not

replace the need for trained flaggers and

should only be used in locations where just

one lane of approaching traffic needs control,

according to the Federal Highway

Administration. This equipment furthers

Caltrans’ high safety goal toward zero worker

and user fatalities in all travel modes. More

AGENDA: April 4, 2019

TO: Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) FROM: Luis Pavel Mendez, Deputy Director RE: Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20 Proposed Budget RECOMMENDATIONS The Budget and Administration/Personnel (B&A/P) Committee and staff recommend that the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC): 1. Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment 1) approving the proposed FY 2019-

20 RTC budget as shown on Exhibit A of Attachment 1; 2. Accept the Measure D revenue forecast for FY 2019-20 provided by HDL

Services (Attachment 3); 3. Accept the 30-year revenue projection which incorporates the HDL forecast for

FY 2019-20 (Attachment 4); and 4. Accept the 5-year revenue estimates for the Measure D recipients which

incorporate the HDL forecast for FY 2019-20 and calculation of the revenue distribution for local jurisdictions with updated data (Attachment 5).

BACKGROUND At the beginning of each calendar year, staff prepares a proposed Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) budget for the following fiscal year. The proposed budget is presented to the Budget and Administration/Personnel (B&A/P) Committee for review and recommendation to the RTC. Early budget approval allows the RTC to inform claimants of projected apportionments of Transportation Development Act (TDA) and Measure D funds for their use in developing their organizations’ budgets. The B&A/P Committee reviewed the proposed FY 2019-20 budget at its March 21, 2019 meeting and recommends approval. DISCUSSION Transportation Development Act (TDA) revenues are at levels above those prior to the “great recession.” In November 2016, a supermajority of Santa Cruz County voters passed Measure D to create new local funding for transportation. In 2017, California approved Senate Bill 1 (SB1) to significantly increase the state’s transportation funding. In the November 2018 election, the funding improvements made by SB1 were upheld by California voters through the failure of Proposition 6. Unfortunately, the federal government seems incapable of repairing the insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund or doing anything to improve transportation funding.

18-1

FY 2019-20 Proposed RTC Budget Page 2

While Measure D and SB 1 are far from enough to fund all of the identified needs in the community, transportation funding for Santa Cruz County is significantly better than it was a few years ago. Measure D raised about $20 million in its first year and SB 1 made it possible for the RTC to program over $22 million to local transportation projects in December 2017. Thanks to Measure D and SB 1, the proposed FY 2019-20 RTC budget (Exhibit A of Attachment 1) helps to address more of Santa Cruz County’s transportation needs than it has been able to in many years past.

Transportation Development Act (TDA) Apportionments (budget pp. 1 & 2)

One of the main sources of funding for transportation in Santa Cruz County is the TDA, which established that ¼% of the state sales tax would go to transportation. Attachment 2 shows actual and estimated TDA revenues for FYs 2008-09 to 2019-20. Between FYs 2006-07 and 2009-10 TDA revenues decreased significantly due tothe “great recession”. By FY 2013-14 TDA revenues returned to pre-recession levelsand have continued to increase. The Santa Cruz County Auditor Controller’sestimate of TDA revenues for FY 2019-20 is about 5.8% higher than their January2018 estimate for FY 2018-19 revenues.

After accounting for the TDA reserve, the apportionments for the RTC are increased by about 3.3% and for other TDA recipients by about 6.5% with the exception of Bike to Work, and the Community Traffic Safety Coalition (Table 1 below.)

Total Apportioned 9,609,081 10,181,922 5.96%

18-2


In FY 2017-18, the apportionments for Bike to Work and CTSC were increased 20% and 30% respectively. TDA apportionments for the cities and the county are based on population and the population figures were updated to the most recent figures provided by the State Department of Finance. Therefore, their TDA revenue percentage increases vary. Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) (budget p. 7) SB 1 doubled the amount of state funds available for FSP programs throughout the state to $50 million. About 50% of the SB1 funds are being allocated per the formula established by statute when FSP programs began. Some of the remaining funds are allocated to the CHP to support FSP programs and the remainder is allocated on a competitive basis for additional FSP service. The competitive funds are only available for FSP service beyond what exists today. RTC staff is analyzing information to see what potential additional FSP service could qualify and compete well for the competitive funds. This budget incorporates an estimate of SB1 formula funds that should be added to the regular statewide allocation. In FY 2018-19, with the SB1 allocation to the RTC, the state included the amount for the local CHP office. Through an agreement these funds will be provided to the CHP. Beginning with fiscal year 2019-20 the funds allocated to the CHP will be provided directly to the CHP and will not pass through the RTC. Rail/Trail Authority Budget (budget p. 8) The Rail/Trail authority budget incorporates estimated carryovers from FY 2018-19 and Measure D funds previously programmed by the RTC. It also provides an estimate of reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for storm damage repairs based on the estimated cost of repairs and the amount anticipated to be covered by FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services (OES). Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Projects (budget p. 9) The tiered environmental document for the Highway 1 corridor was completed in December 2018. Design work is underway and, should continue into FY 2019-20, for the Highway 1 41st to Soquel Drive auxiliary lanes project. Environmental work for auxiliary lanes from State Park Drive to Bay/Porter is anticipated to begin this fiscal year and carry into the next fiscal year. The Highway 1 corridor investment program budget includes funds anticipated to carryover and funds programmed for this work. Environmental work and funding for Bus on Shoulders are also incorporated. Countywide Bicycle Signage Project (budget p. 10) The RTC secured an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for the county wide bicycle signage project. The design phase of the project was completed and the

18-3


construction phase began in FY 2018-19. Some construction work is anticipated to carry over into FY 2019-20.

Highway 9 Improvements (budget p. 11)

This is a new budget page resulting from the fact that the RTC secured a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant to make pedestrian improvements at different locations on Highway 9. With the completion of the Highway 9 San Lorenzo Valley Complete Streets Plan, it is anticipated that Measure D funds will be programmed to priority improvements identified in the plan and that funds from other sources will also be secured for the various improvements. As that happens, this budget page will be amended to add those funds and improvements.

Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network Projects (budget p. 12)

The RTC completed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review for the North Coast section of the trail. Work will continue on several projects of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST) Network. This includes environmental work per the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and design work for the north coast segment as well as construction for segments in the cities of Santa Cruz and Watsonville. The FY 2019-20 budget incorporates estimated carryover funds from FY 2018-19 and Measure D funds programmed by the RTC to MBSST Network projects for FY 2019-20. There will be a significant amount of work on the North Coast segment but the vast majority of that work will be done by the Central Federal Lands team and their consultants with their funds, which do not flow through the RTC budget. Some of the NEPA environmental work and design work will be covered by Land Trust funds, which do flow through the RTC budget.

Planning Budget (budget pp. 13, 14 and 15)

The planning budget includes the regular funds used every year to meet the RTC’s obligations for transportation planning in Santa Cruz County. These include Rural Planning Assistance (RPA); TDA; and STIP Planning, Programming and Monitoring (PPM). During FY 2018-19, the RTC completed two significant planning projects, the Unified Corridor Study (UCS) and the Highway 9 Complete Streets Plan. Therefore, no funds are shown for these projects in FY 2019-20. Part of the RTC decision on the UCS was to complete an alternatives analysis. This is shown to be funded with Measure D funds. RTC staff has already secured $100,000 in FY 2018-19 funds through the Caltrans Division of Rail. Those funds will be amended into the RTC’s FY 2018-19 budget and work program and some will carry over into FY 2019-20. Staff is working to secure additional grant funds for this effort. As grant funds are secured, they will be amended into the RTC budget.

Measure D (budget pp. 16)

Since a super majority of Santa Cruz County voters passed Measure D in November 2016, this budget includes estimates of revenues and apportionments from the new ½-cent transactions and use tax. The RTC hired HDL Services to provide analysis of

18-4


Measure D revenues, audit receipts from the state and provide a forecast of revenues (Attachment 3). The estimated revenues for FY 2019-20 are from the forecast provided by HDL Services. This forecast was used to update the RTC’s 30-year projection (Attachment 4). As a history of revenues from Measure D builds, that will be incorporated into the revenue estimates for future years. Funding distribution is based on the actual revenues received.

The funding distribution to the cities and the county from the neighborhood projects bucket of Measure D is based on the formula approved in the measure, stating:

“Funding will be distributed at least quarterly to cities and the County of Santa Cruz based on their proportional share of the countywide population (29%), lane miles of roadway (39%) and the site where the measure revenue from the transactions and use tax is generated (32%). Population, road mile and tax site generation will be updated each year based on the latest available data.”

Data for the formula is updated each year to provide a 5-year estimate to the Measure D funding recipients for production of their 5-year programs of projects. Attachment 5 is the current 5-year estimate using the most recent data for the formula and HDL’s revenue forecast for FY 2019-20.

Funding from Measure D is included throughout the RTC budget for various RTC projects and programs consistent with the RTC approved 5-year programs of projects for Measure D. The RTC and local jurisdictions are beginning the process to produce the 5-year programs of projects for 2019. After the 2019 programs of projects are approved, it may be necessary to amend the RTC budget.

Staff Resources (budget p. 19 and throughout proposed budget)

There are no staffing changes recommended with this proposed FY 2019-20 budget. During FY 2018-19, the RTC completed negotiations on labor agreements and entered into a contract with the new Executive Director. The amounts budgeted for staffing resources throughout the FY 2019-20 budget are consistent with those labor agreements and contract.

TDA and RTC Reserves (budget page 17)

$10,306 of the increased TDA revenues projected to be received in FY 2019-20 are proposed to be added to the TDA reserve to meet the 8% target established in the RTC Rules and Regulations. The RTC reserve target was met in FY 2018-19 and it is not currently necessary to add any funds to that reserve.

FY 2019-20 Proposed Budget Recommendations

The proposed FY 2019-20 budget is balanced and includes the funding to meet the RTC’s state and federally mandated responsibilities as well as continue the RTC’s priority transportation projects and programs including:

18-5


• Environmental review and design for the Highway 1 Tier II projects for auxiliarylanes between 41st Avenue and Soquel Drive and between State Park Drive andBay Avenue/Porter Street and bike and pedestrian overcrossings;

• Incorporation of Bus on Shoulders to the Highway 1 auxiliary lanes projects;• Environmental review and design for Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail

(MBSST) Network segments;• Implementation of the Highway 9 San Lorenzo Valley Complete Streets plan;• Implementation of the countywide bike signage program;• Implementation of the Cruz511 motorist information and TDM program;• Special transportation planning projects such as the high-capacity public transit

alternatives analysis for the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line;• Production of the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP);• Continued implementation of the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) Safe on 17

programs;• Continued implementation of a new transportation funding sources with Measure

D; and• Continue working to increase state and federal funding for Santa Cruz County

transportation needs

Therefore, the Budget and Administration/Personnel Committee and staff recommend that the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC):

1. Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment 1) approving the proposedFY 2019-20 RTC budget as shown on Exhibit A of Attachment 1;

2. Accept the Measure D revenue forecast for FY 2019-20 provided byHDL Services (Attachment 3);

3. Accept the 30-year revenue projection which incorporates the HDLforecast for FY 2019-20 (Attachment 4); and

4. Accept the 5-year revenue estimates for the Measure D recipients withthe HDL forecast for FY 2019-20 and calculation of the revenuedistribution for local jurisdictions with updated data (Attachment 5).

SUMMARY

The proposed FY 2019-20 budget and work program for the RTC includes continued oversight of the Highway 1 projects, continuation of on-going RTC projects and programs and implementation of Measure D. The B&A/P Committee and staff recommend that the RTC approve the proposed FY 2019-20 budget (Attachment 1) and accept Measure D revenue forecast and estimates (Attachments 3, 4 & 5).

Updated estimate

As stated in Measure D, funds will be distributed at least quarterly to cities and the County of Santa Cruz based on their proportional share of the countywide population (29%), lane miles of roadway (39%) and the site where the measure revenue from the transactions and use tax is generated (32%). Population, road mile and tax site generation will be updated each year based on the latest available data. Site of tax revenue generation is estimated from existing T&U taxes in the county. Each year after the RTC obtains the data specific to this T&U tax adjstments will be made based on actual data fo site of tax revenue generation.

Measure D

Measure D transportation taxreceipts from July through Sep-tember were 21.2% above the third sales period in 2017. Excluding aberrations, actual sales were up 5.2%.The State appears to have re-solved the bulk of software-driv-en issues that plagued the first and second quarter of 2018 local tax distributions. All categories reported significant increases from double-up payments; over $900,000 were received this quar-ter. $330,000 remains outstanding from taxpayer returns for this re-porting cycle. Gains in autos-transporta-tion came from robust sales of brand-specific luxury sedans. Re-cently opened merchants added to the tax bases in family apparel, building materials and cannabis businesses.Crude oil prices remained steady, while gasoline and diesel followed seasonal pricing patterns; the impact was steady growth from service stations. A strong sum-mer quarter by multiple suppliers boosted contractors’ returns. With all anomalies removed, restaurant and hotel revenues were flat when compared to year-ago results.Net of aberrations, taxable salesfor all of Santa Cruz County grew 2.7% over the comparable time period; the Central Coast region was up 3.3%.

POINT OF SALE TRENDS BY COUNTY Percent Change from 3rd Quarter 2017 *

* Reporting aberrations adjusted to better reflect actual sales activity

California Overall

The CDTFA’s problems with its new software system had yet to be fully resolved by the end of the third quarter. HdL’s adjustments for delayed payments and other reporting deficiencies indicate that statewide receipts from the local one cent tax rose 5.2% over the first three quarters of 2018 ver-sus the comparison period. The gains were primarily from higher fuel prices, strong building-con-struction activity and a rise in tax receipts from online purchases delivered from out-of-state that are shared by all agencies via the county pools. The data exhibits the start of a leveling pattern in other sectors. The statewide gain in new car sales for July through September was due to a single manufacturer filling back orders. Price compe-tition kept tax revenues from con-sumer goods receipts relatively flat while the rise in online shopping is expanding the diversion of tax revenues from brick and mortar stores to county pools or to in-state distribution centers.

Restaurant sales are beginning to show signs of market saturation as well as the impact of new compe-tition that includes - prepared food and meal kits delivered from a variety of other sources. A mod-est gain in business-industrial sales was largely related to data and warehouse technology as well as a few major development projects. Anticipated declines in fuel prices in the first quarter of 2019 adds support to HdL’s latest consensus forecast for a modest statewide gain of 1.5% in fiscal year 2019-20 unless new trade conflicts further impact the economy. South Dakota V. Wayfair De-cision

In June, the Supreme Court re-versed its previous ruling that retailers are not required to col-lect taxes for jurisdictions where they have no physical presence or “nexus.” Instead, the buyer was responsible for remitting the tax. California will begin enforcing the Wayfair reversal effective April 1, 2019 by making retailers deliver-ing from out-of-state responsible for collecting and remitting use

tax if calendar year sales exceed $100,000 and/or 200 or more separate transactions. The same threshold will also determine whether in-state retailers are re-sponsible for collecting taxes on deliveries to individual transac-tions tax districts.

Some legislators have announced their intention to hold hearings and may modify the regulations prior to the announced April 1 implementation date. That pro-cess and anticipated start-up and notification issues will probably delay full compliance in 2019-20.

As most major online retailers, in-cluding Wayfair, are already col-lecting California taxes and the state has traditionally enforced a broad definition of “nexus,” the impact of the South Dakota de-cision may be less than in other states. The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates a potential eventual gain of $3 to $5 per capita in receipts from our one cent local tax.

Initial estimate is based on Auditor Controller's estimate of TDA revenues after applying a historical comparison of TDA revenues to SC METRO's transactions and use tax. Beginning in FY 2019‐20, the estimate is basedon the forecast provided by HDL Services, RTC Measure D analysis, auditing and forecasting consultant.2. A long‐term growth of 1.3% is estimated based on the average historical growth of TDA revenues over a 17‐year period, which have varied from ‐8.61% to 7.02%.3. Implementation, management and administration costs are escalated by the assumed growth of the revenue of 1.3%.4. The return to source variable is based on the existing transactions and use taxes for each of the cities as compared to the overall Measure D revenues generated to derive an estimate for the unincorporated area.5. Actual funds received and distributed and actual costs are shown in bolded italic text.6. FY 2046‐47 reduced to 11 revenue payments from the state since one payment was received in FY 2016‐17.
