ITEM #14 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., PW DIRECTOR / CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING AND ADOPTING: 1) MEASURE I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS THROUGH FY 0607, 2) MEASURE I THREE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 3) EXPENDITURE STRATEGY PLAN AND 4) TWENTY YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN; AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2007/2008 CIP TO INCLUDE THE MT. VERNON TREE GRATE PROJECT AND MT. VERNON BRIDGE REPAIR PROJECT. DATE: AUGUST 27, 2007 BACKGROUND: In November 1989, the San Bernardino County voters approved the passage of Measure I authorizing the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), acting as the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, to impose a one-half of one -percent retail and use tax. This tax revenue can only be used for transportation improvements and traffic management programs authorized in the Expenditure Plans as designated by the approved and adopted Five Year Capital Improvement Plan and the Twenty Year Transportation Plan. Measure I requires that each local jurisdiction receiving program revenues annually adopt a Five Year Capital Improvement Plan, a Twenty Year Transportation Plan and an Expenditure Strategy Plan. The Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan, Twenty Year Transportation Plan and Expenditure Strategy Plan outline how the funds will be expended. As part of the County Wide Measure I Sales Initiative Program, the measure requires an annual adoption and update of the respective plans. As discussed below, SANBAG has recently changed the reporting requirements associated with Measure I; as only three years remain of the current measure local municipalities are now required to submit a Three Year Capital Improvement Plan rather than a Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The measure which was approved in November 1989 is set to expire March of 2010. A subsequent measure for street improvement projects was approved by voters in November 2004. This measure will be effective for a thirty year period beginning April 2010. The passage of this second measure will continue to provide the City with funds for maintenance of City streets and street infrastructure development. Because there are only three years remaining in the first Measure I, at this time the City is only required to provide a plan identifying Measure I projects for a three year period (2007 — 2010). Earlier in the measure the city submitted a Twenty Year Transportation Plan which is on file with SANBAG (Exhibit C).
