CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the 6- Y ear Capital Improvement Program (2009-
2015) for Measure I Local Expenditures.
Background:
In November 1989, voters approved Measure I authorizing San Bernardino Associated
Governments (SANBAG), acting as the Transportation Authority, to impose a one-half of one-
percent retail transaction and use-tax applicable throughout the county for a period of 20 years
beginning Apri 1 1, 1990 and extending to March 31, 2010. This tax is commonly known as the
v,-cent sales tax. In November of 2004, voters approved an extension of the v,-cent sales tax for
an additional 30 years frorn April 1, 2010, extending it to March 31, 2040. In order to
distinguish the two programs, they are now being referenced as Measure I 1990-2010 and
Measure I 2010-2040. Revenue from the tax can only be used for transportation improvements
and traffic management programs authorized in the Expenditure Plans set forth in Ordinance
Nos. 89-01 and 04-1 of the Authority.
The referenced ordinances require each local agency to expend funds based on a 5-year Measure
I Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and a 20-year Measure I Transportation Plan adopted by
resolution. The 5-year Measure I Capital Improvement Program only relates to the expenditure
of Measure I funds and each agency is required to update the program annually. The 20-year
Measure I Transportation Plan is only required to be amended if it changes.
Since the Measure I 1990-2010 program expired on March 31, 2010, SANBAG has allowed
jurisdictions to subrnit a 6-year Measure I Capital Improvement Program for FY 2009-2015
covering the final year of Measure 11990-2010 and the first five years of Measure I 2010-2040.
San Bernardino's 6-year Measure I CIP was approved by the Mayor and Common Council on
October 5, 2009 and a copy of the Program was sent to SANBAG.
As of June 30th of each year, SANBAG audits the City's financial records to insure that Measure
I local pass through expenditures have been made in accordance with the approved 6-Year
Measure I Capital Improvement Program. A deficiency report is created and sent to the City
Manager if improper expenditures are found with a requirement that the deficiencies be promptly
corrected.
Amendment No. 1 to the 6- Y ear Program establishes a Project for Street Maintenance and
allocates $500,000 in Measure I funds. The Project will provide a funding source for performing
minor repairs and rehabilitation of various streets in response to complaints from the public and
City officials.
The funds will be used for the preservation and upkeep of City streets for the purpose of
providing safe, convenient and economical highway transportation.
