FI$C~ IMPACT
Compliance with Measure M and CMP requirements will ensure continued City eligibility for the
Measure M Local Turnback Program, the Measure M .competitive programs and the Proposition
111 Congestion Management Program Gas Tax Subventions.
BAqKGROUND ,
In 1une 1990, the voters of California approved Proposition 111 which increased the tax on gas
initially by 5 cents with a 1 cent annual increase for the following 4 years. Local agencies benefit
by subventions they receive from this tax. During the same year in November, the Orange County
voters approved Measure M, the revised Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Plan
(GMP). Through the imposition of a one-half cent sales tax, Measure M will raise an estimated
$3.1 billion for transportation improvements over a 20 year period. In order to receive revenue
from Measure M and Proposition 111, for facility improvements, Tustin and other cities of Orange
County must continue to meet cemdn requirements. Tustin's Measure M eligibility pacl~e for
Fiscal Year 1995-96 was approved by OC~A last year. In order to main~ eligibility for these
programs the City is required to submit the following items for the Fiscal Year 1996-97 submittal:
Seven Year Capi¢J Improvement Plan (CIP)
The draft CIP is a seven year projection of specific projects upon which Measure M and
Proposition 111 Funds will be expended. Adoption of the seven year CIP is a requirement of
Proposition 111 and Measure M (GMP). It is intended that this CIP supersede the one filed with
last year's Measure M Package. Included in the plan are projects that could be submitted to OC~A
during this year's Measure M call for projects. At this time, the proposed CIP is in a draft form
until the formal adoption of the City's seven year Capital Improvement Program as part of the
1996-97 budget proce~, at which time the seven year draft CIP will be adjusted acx:ordingly and
forwarded to OC~A.
Maintenance of Effort flVIOE)
A mainteamnce of effort report form with a statement certifying that the City will meet its
Maintenance of Effort expenditure in accordance with Measure M requirements for the 1996-97
Fiscal Year must be submiUed together with a copy of the City's draft budget sections showing
those expenditures. That certification will be executed by the Director of Public Works/City
