HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PROJECT FUNDING FOR THE MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION SUBVENTION FUNDS (ASSEMBLY BILL 2766) PROGRAM SUMMARY Each year the City Council is requested to authorize the use of the City's Assembly Bill (AB) 2766 funds to off-set costs for state mandated vehicle emission programs implemented by the City of Tustin. This year the City Council is being requested to allocate the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004/2005 AB 2766 funds to the Red Hill Avenue/Olwyn Drive Pedestrian Enhancement Project and to allocate carryover Fiscal Year (FY) 2003/2004 AB 2766 funds to offset the cost to purchase two alternative fuel (propane) street sweepers. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council: 1. Authorize the use of City AB 2766 funds for the Red Hill Avenue/Olwyn Drive Pedestrian Enhancement Project; 2. Authorize the use of City AB 2766 funds to offset the cost to purchase two alternative fuel (propane) street sweepers; and, 3. Authorize the City Manager to approve additional AB 2766 expenditures, consistent with Air Quality Management District guidance, throughout the 2004/2005 program year as needed. FISCAL IMPACT AB 2766 turn-back funds are made available to local governments for use in offsetting state mandated vehicle emissions reduction programs. Tustin will receive approximately $80,000 for the 2004/2005 program year. The use of these funds reduces General Fund responsibility to fund emission reduction programs. Attachment "A" provides a summary of AB 2766 fund program activities, revenues, expenditures, and carryover balances. City Council Report Project Funding for AB 2766 Program December 6, 2004 Page 2 BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION On September 30, 1990, the State Legislature authorized the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to impose an additional motor vehicle registration fee of two dollars ($2) per vehicle to finance the implementation of transportation measures embodied in the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and provisions of the California Clean Air Act. Commencing Fiscal Year 1991-1992, subvention disbursements were made available to cities and agencies. Forty percent of the funds collected from the Department of Motor Vehicle registration fees are returned to local governments for local vehicle emission reduction programs. AB 2766 turn-back funds must be used solely to reduce pollution from motor vehicles and for related planning, monitoring, enforcement, and technical studies necessary for the implementation of state and regional clean air goals. PROGRAM AND BUDGET INFORMATION In past years, the City of Tustin has used AB 2766 funds to offset the costs associated with the following air emission reduction programs: FY 1991-92 Project FY 1992-93 Project Vehicle conversion to propane No programs funded FY 1993-94 Projects Commuter Rail Station Partial funding of Air Quality Element of the General Plan Personnel costs for administration FY 1994-95 Projects Commuter Rail Station Personnel costs for administration Training/Save Our Air Rideshare (SOAR) Program incentives FY 1995-96 Projects Commuter Rail Station Personnel costs for administration Training/SOAR Program incentives FY 1996-97 Projects Commuter Rail Station SOAR Program Costs SOAR Compensation Pay Computer Software FY 1997-98 Projects Commuter Rail Station SOAR Compensation Pay City Council Report Project Funding for AB 2766 Program December 6, 2004 Page 3 FY 1998-99 Projects Commuter Rail Station SOAR Compensation Pay FY 1999-00 Projects Commuter Rail Station Air Quality Technical Assistance FY 2000-01 Projects Commuter Rail Station Air Quality Technical Assistance FY 2001-02 Project FY 2002-03 Project Commuter Rail Station Commuter Rail Station FY 2003-04 Project Commuter Rail Station PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005 PROGRAM ALLOCATIONS RED HILL AVENUE/OLWYN DRIVE PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENT PROJECT - This project consists of repainting the school crosswalk, installation of pedestrian actuated in- pavement flashing lights to further delineate the crosswalk, and new pedestrian crosswalk signs with internal flashing lights.
