AGENDA ITEM IV-A
February 22, 2016
Prepared by Leslie Davis TCAG Staff
SUBJECT:
Information: Measure R Revenue and City/County Regional Project Update for January 2016
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2006, the voters of Tulare County approved Measure R, imposing a ½-cent sales
tax for transportation within the incorporated and unincorporated area of Tulare County through
2037. The transportation sales tax funds are spent in accordance with the Expenditure Plan that
resulted from a joint effort among all the cities and the County of Tulare. The Expenditure Plan
reflects the transportation needs of the residents of Tulare County. The plan includes funding for
Regional Projects, Local Programs, Transit/Bike/Environmental Programs and Administration.
The funds are distributed as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Regional Projects (50%)
Local Programs (35%)
Transit/Bike/Environmental (14%)
Administration and Planning Program (1%)
Measure R revenues began to be collected on April 1, 2007. Monthly Measure R advancements
are received by TCAG from the State Board of Equalization followed by quarterly clean-up
disbursements. In total TCAG receives eight advancements and four clean-up disbursements
through-out a fiscal year.
The Measure R 2014 Strategic Work Plan was approved by the Authority on September 15, 2014
with Resolution No. 2014-117. The Work Plan serves as a guide for the delivery of Measure R
projects in the upcoming five-year period.
DISCUSSION:
Status of Measure R Revenues
Fiscal Year 2015/16 - Measure R allocations have been received for January 2016 and requested
distribution made through January 2016. The allocation for the month of January is $2,313,200
compared to $2,164,500 last year for the same period. The year-to-date amount of $17,547,376
for FY 14/15 compared to $18,162,424 for FY 15/16 reflects an increase of 3.5 % increase
between fiscal years. See attached revenue chart covering fiscal year 2011/2012, 2012/2013,
2013/2014, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 to date.

Progress Report on Regional Project:
2015-16 2nd Quarter
Visalia Road: Appraisals complete and submitted to R/W agent, offer packages
being prepared, expect to receive offer packages (with the exception of BMT)
today for City's and our review. Once these are approved by the City, they can be
sent out, and final negotiations will commence over the following weeks. I am still
working on the 95-percent PS&E, and have it mostly completed, with the
exception of the lift station. I hope to have to have these wrapped up and
submitted to the City Engineer soon. At this point, right of way is the critical
path.
Belmont Road: The school district is taking the right of way offer/deed to the
Board this week and the superintendent expects it to be approved. The private
developer (Kaweah Management) already signed the deed. The critical path on
this is the utility relocations. In speaking with Paul V. this morning, he said they
are working on it, and are currently in the process of performing the rights check
for cost liability. Once we receive the utility relocation plans, and street light plans
from SCE, we'll be ready to submit the right of way certification, and following
right of way certification, we'll prepare the E-76 construction authorization
request.
