MEASURE R INDEPENDENT TAXPAYERSOVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

_ FEBRUARY 26,_2Q13

ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE REPORT ON POST MEASURE J ACTIONS

RECOMMENDATION

Receive and file report on activities to develop a strategy to accelerate planning,

construction and implementation of Measure R projects without the passage of

Measure J.

ISSUE

The Oversight Committee Chair requested an update from staff regarding how the

agency will move forward with the Measure R program of projects given that Measure J

failed to pass on November 6, 2012. Staff is in the process of developing a strategy to

accelerate the Measure R transit and highway projects scheduled to be completed in

the second and third decades of the Measure R Expenditure Plan. Staff wi!! provide an

update to the Committee on progress of this effort.

DISCUSSION

In January 2013, staff presented an item to the Board of Directors that summarized

financial strategies to accelerate the Measure R transit and highway projects, and a

brief status of these projects. Staff also requested approval to continue development of

Measure R projects scheduled for implementation in the second and third decades of

the Measure R Expenditure Plan, ahead of schedule, while staff develops a viable

financial strategy to allow fihis schedule acceleration. In the report, staff committed to

return to the Board in March with a proposed path forward for project acceleration.

Attachment A contains the report presented by staff. In response, the Board approved

the staff recommendation to continue project development work and directed through a

motion that staff return in March with a proposed financial strategy that includes an

analysis of several items (see Attachment B).

Once an acceleration strategy is identified and approved by the Board, staff will return

to the Committee to make a finding of appropriateness if the Board proposes to amend

the Expenditure Plan. As required by the Ordinance, the Committee will receive notice

at feast 30 days prior to the Board taking a vote to adopt any proposed Expenditure

Plan amendments.

In addition, the Committee will be requested to make a finding on any debt financing

related to the acceleration strategy at a later time. Section 8 of the Ordinance states

that the Committee must "make a finding as to whether the benefits of the proposed

financing for accelerating project delivery, avoiding future cost escalation, and related

factors exceed issuance and interest costs."

NEXT STEPS

Staff is preparing the report for the March 2013 Board of Directors meeting on a

proposed acceleration strategy. The Committee will be presented with an update on

these efforts at the February 26 meeting and will be kept apprised of any direction given

by the Board at its March meeting.

the accelerated pace of project implementation through a number of strategy proposals.

Before any of the suggested strategies are placed into ae#ion or are #'urther articulated we

would like staff tQ return to the Soard with the following analysis as part of tt~e financial

strategy:

1. A strategy for keeping ALL second and third decade projects in shelf-ready

condition fvr federal funding on an accelerated schedule on an equal footing;

including funding plans,

2. [den#ifcation and funding requirements for state of good repair and major

re~abi(~tat~on #F~raugh the second and third decade

3. More detail on cash flow requirements to fund opera#ions, state of good repair, call

for projects, other programs in an accelerated environment t~a~ includes bonding

against Prop. A & C revenues

~~ 4. Detail on the proposed "fnancial and process paths" to pursue with the FTA on

the South Bay Green Line E~ctension, Eastside Gold Lin Ph se f! Extension,

West Santa Ana Branch. ~' ~~ ~ -~.~ ~ ~~', ~,

5. Develop funding ptans for the remaining '~ 2 highway initiatives that are in t#~e

planning stage or nod under consideration for 3P. These pans should include

an~icipa~ed Itl[CA and TIF[A programming commi#ments.

6. Estimate of tie public investment required to support 3P roves#rnent.
