Executive Summary:
The Department of Transportation and Public Works, Transit Division (SCT), is requesting the Board adopt a budgetary Resolution in the amount of $966,657 for capital revenues and expenditures, to accommodate an additional electric bus in Transit’s FY 2022 capital program. (4/5th Vote Required)
Discussion:
Sonoma County Transit’s FY 2021-22 recommended budget was developed in February 2021 based on a draft of the Transportation Development Act (TDA)/State Transit Assistance (STA) Coordinated Claim. The Coordinated Claim is prepared annually to illustrate funding agreements between local jurisdictions in support of County-provided transit services. The Sonoma County Transportation Authority adopted the FY 2022 Coordinated Claim on April 12, 2021.
The Board authorized the filing of a claim with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) on May 11, 2021. Between the time of the departmental submission to the County Administrator’s Office, and the submission of SCT’s FY 2022 funding request to MTC, additional funding was secured to purchase one additional electric bus. SCT received $675,462 in Low Carbon Transit Operation Program funds (LCTOP) from the State of California. Combined with reserve TDA funds of $291,195, sufficient funding exists to adjust the FY2021-22 budget from the purchase of two 35’ electric buses to three 35’ electric buses.
TPW is requesting a budget adjustment to increase expenditure and revenue appropriations for the purchase of the added bus for a total of $966,657. The purchase will be funded with a combination of LCTOP funds and TDA funds.
