File Number: 16-167 <br />Analysis <br />Master Programs Funding Agreement <br />The MPFA specifies the types of Measure B, VRF and Measure BB funds that the City can <br />receive from the Alameda CTC, including DLD and grant funds. The Alameda CTC expects <br />to allocate funds pursuant to the MPFA from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2026. The MPFA <br />oversees the following types of distributions: <br />• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety: Measure B and Measure BB DLD <br />• Local Streets and Roads: Measure B, VRF and Measure BB DLD <br />• Paratransit: Measure B and Measure BB DLD <br />The proposed Measure B/BB/VRF MPFA reflects a combined master agreement for the DLD <br />funds from each of the three fund sources. This allows for consistent policies and <br />requirements that are applicable to all DLD funds to streamline program implementation for <br />the City and for Alameda CTC. The MPFA contains policies on expenditures, timely use of <br />funds requirements, and performance measures to guide the expeditious use and investment <br />of these funds across all recipients. The MPFA is attached with the resolution of this item. <br />The performance measures contained in Exhibit C of the MPFA establish performance <br />reporting expectations for DLD investments. It is important to note each of the applicable DLD <br />programs (local transportation, bicycle/pedestrian and paratransit) are distinct and the City <br />can use the funds, at their discretion, on a variety of transportation needs. Thus, the <br />performance measures for DLD funds monitor quantifiable data on universal investments <br />such as pavement condition index for streets and roads, quantities of sidewalk or bike facility <br />improvements and trips provided/individuals served. The City will comply with Alameda CTC <br />requirements by conducting performance reporting and data collection through the annual <br />program compliance reporting and annual paratransit program plan review. <br />The MPFA is based primarily on the existing 2012 Measure B/VRF MPFA template. The <br />primary changes include: <br />Removal of timely use of funds and reserve policies. These policies are replaced in the <br />Measure B/BB/VRF MPFA policy provisions with reference to the Alameda CTC <br />approved Timely Use of Funds Policies for DLD funds. <br />Incorporation of Measure BB references and policies specific to the Measure such as <br />15% of local streets and roads funds must be expended on bicycle/pedestrian related <br />improvements. <br />• Incorporation of performance measures and reporting requirements. <br />The MPFA references program implementation guidelines for each of the four DLD programs <br />which serve as a guide for eligible project and program investments to be funded with the <br />Measure B/BB/VRF funds. These guidelines were last adopted by the Alameda CTC in 2012 <br />and included in the agreement with the City. As part of the new MPFA, the implementation <br />guidelines have been refreshed to include Measure BB references, but no substantive <br />changes have been made to the local transportation and bicycle/pedestrian guidelines. <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the MPFA along with the associated <br />implementation guidelines and performances measures and authorize the City Manager or his <br />City of San Leandro Page 3 Printed on 4/26/2016 <br />
