File Number: 12 -068 Alameda CTC staff developed a 10 -year MPFA and Implementation Guidelines that address each fund source and specify definitions, eligibility, and fund uses. The Alameda CTC may update the Implementation Guidelines on a more frequent basis than the MPFA to respond to changing transportation needs over the next 10 -year period. On December 16, 2011 the Alameda CTC adopted the final MPFA and Implementation Guidelines. The new MPFA must be fully executed by the City prior to March 31, 2012 to ensure that current Measure B funds continue to flow to the City and the new VRF funds can be allocated. There are two additional deadlines associated with the MPFA: 1) City's adoption of a Complete Streets Policy by June 30, 2013; and 2) City's update of its Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan by December 31, 2015. The City met this second deadline by updating the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan in 2011. The following provides details concerning Measure B funds and VRF funds: Measure B Funds: The Measure B Sales & Use Tax generates approximately $104 million per year for Alameda County. The City receives Measure B "pass- through funds" for three types of programs: • Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety • Local Streets and Roads • Paratransit The City's original Master Agreement with ACTIA for these funds expires in 2012. Vehicle Registration Fee: Voters approved the Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Program on November 2, 2010, with 63% of the vote. The fee will generate about $11 million per year for the county through a $10 per year vehicle registration fee. The City will receive "pass- through" funds from four main types of programs: • Local Streets and Roads • Transit • Local Transportation Technology • Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects Under the VRF legislation, fund usage must demonstrate a relationship or benefit to the people paying the fee. Analysis Master Programs Funding Agreement (MPFA) The MPFA specifies the types of funds that the City can receive from the Alameda CTC, including Measure B and VRF pass- through and grant funds. The Alameda CTC expects to allocate funds pursuant to the MPFA from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2022. The MPFA oversees the following types of distributions: • Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety: Measure B pass- through funds, grants, and VRF funds • Local Streets and Roads: Measure B pass- through funds and VRF funds • Paratransit: Measure B pass- through funds, grants, stabilization funds, including base program and minimal service level funds, and VRF funds • Transportation Technology Funds: VRF funds City of San Leandro Page 2 Printed on 212812012
