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. 2 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT (Continued) Financial Impact: The financial impact related to approval of Amendment No. 1 to the 6-year Measure I Capital Improvement Program is reflected in Exhibit A attached to the Resolution.
