Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

Good afternoon, board chair and vice chair.

I'm sorry.

Can we bring up the lights?

There's no light on the podium.

Thank you.

All right.

I am here to present on the annual public hearing for staff vacancies for the STA.

This pursuant to AB 2561.

This mandates local agencies present our employee vacancies and related hiring practices at least

once a year.

This is our first time doing this hearing.

As of right now, STA has three staff and zero current vacancies.

We run a fairly lean agency and we only hire when it's necessary.

And there is no fiscal impact to this item.

And that concludes my verbal presentation.

Do you have any questions?

Thank you.

Any questions for staff?

Don't see any.

Madam Clerk, do we have anyone signed up from the public that would wish to speak on this

matter?

We do not.

Okay.

Is this informational or do we need to take action?

It is a public hearing so we'll need to open and close the public hearing and I believe

just approve staff recommendations.

I'll go ahead and move item number six for approval.

Second.

Okay.

It's been moved and seconded with the record showing that the public hearing has been opened

and closed.

Roll call vote please.

Director Desmond?

Aye.

Director Guerra?

Aye.

Director Hume?

Aye.

Director Kennedy?

Aye.

Director Nielsen?

Aye.

Director Pulapati?

Yes.

Director Rathel?

Aye.

Director Rodriguez?

Aye.

Director Talamontes?

Aye.

And Chair Serra?

Aye.

And that does pass unanimously with those members present.

Very good.

Next item please.

Next item on the agenda is item number seven.

It is to introduce the draft STA budget for fiscal year 2025-2026.

All right.

All right.

All right.

Hello again.

I'm here to present the fiscal year 2025-2026 budget draft.

This will be formally adopted in June.

This is just the presentation of the draft for comments and public comment.

So we are legally required to adopt a fiscal budget and the ITOC reviews has already reviewed

this budget over the last couple of weeks.

I've got comments from them and we've incorporated them.

As I said earlier, the June meeting will be the final adoption of this budget for us to operate under in the next fiscal year.

And there's one open item I want to draw attention to.

It's the appropriations limit.

It isn't in there yet because it hasn't been released by the state.

It's released later in May.

But the final draft will have that.

Next slide here.

So a couple of things that are unique to the authority.

So we are a special district sales tax, which gives us some relative stability in the market.

And we have a funding constricted capital improvement program, which means we do not budget for things that we don't have funding capacity for.

Most of our revenues are formulaically allocated to all the jurisdictions.

That's about 80%.

The remaining 20% is our more discretionary CIP that's decided on our expenditure plan.

Next item here is the population per capita spending stability.

So the population has been fairly stable year over year.

Per capita spending is actually up about 5.4%.

And with this, we have some stability in our operating dollars year to year.

And we've also been focusing on paying down long-term pension liabilities, which is going to give us more administrative flexibility in the years to come.

Next slide here.

A couple of budgetary highlights from the budget just to draw out the bigger items.

Our sales tax revenue forecast is about 2% lower than it was in the previous year.

As I mentioned in an earlier board presentation, things are just a little bit softer and higher spending is causing less discretionary sales tax spending.

Capital improvements program budget appropriations are 63% higher.

The majority of that is with the county of Sacramento.

They've had balances that have rolled from year to year.

And it's specifically on South Watt.

That project is drawing or budgeted to draw a large amount of funding.

And lastly, the Consolidated Transportation Service Agency, CTSA, for the acronym.

That program balance is projected to be spent fully this year.

And all of that lies with SACRT.

We've fully paid out paratransit from those funds, leaving us with just SACRT.

And the next couple of slides here, Kevin Bucie is going to come up and present on.

And I'll hand it over to him.

Thank you, Dustin.

Yeah, so in our budget, we include three kind of strategic planning goals.

We included this last year as well.

So one is build public trust, right?

So as a sales tax authority who uses revenue from the residents, we need to ensure that

we're being a good steward of public funds, right?

And so and then obviously as we continue to want to pursue sales tax measures, we need

to ensure that we have that trust and we're doing that.

So that's an important strategic planning goal.

Second is developing great relationships.

About as Dustin mentioned, about 80% of the funds go back to the county, the city,

but what we need to do is we have an agency, the city, the city, the county, the, the

CRT, CalTrans, right?

And they are utilising those funds.

And so we distribute those funds.

We need to make sure we have good relations with those partner agencies.

But in addition to that, one of the things that measure A is supposed to do is leverage

federal and state funds and federal and state funding is very complicated.

And so ensuring that we have good relationships with those funding partners is also something

we need to do.

And then finally, aligning transportation's priorities with funding.

So we have measure A as a good local source.

OBVIOUSLY, EVERY CITY AND COUNTY HAS DIFFERENT PRIORITIES, RIGHT, AS FAR AS WHERE THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS OR PROGRAMS THAT THEY WANT TO FUND.

AND WE ASSIST TO THE EXTENT WE CAN IN USING MEASURE A OR LEVERAGING MEASURE A FOR GRANTS AND TRYING TO ALIGN THOSE PRIORITIES WITH FUNDING.

SO THOSE ARE THE THREE STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS.

IT HASN'T CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR.

THE ONLY ADDITION THAT WE'VE ADDED IS THERE WERE NOT PERFORMANCE MEASURES IDENTIFYING SPECIFICALLY HOW WE WERE GOING TO ESSENTIALLY MAKE THOSE GOALS, WORK THROUGH THOSE GOALS.

AND SO THAT WAS ADDED WITH THIS ITEM, WITH THIS BUDGET.

ANOTHER THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, WHICH IS DIFFERENT, IS, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT BUILDING PUBLIC TRUST AND WE TALKED ABOUT DEVELOPING GREAT RELATIONSHIPS.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS BUDGET IS ADDING ONE ADDITIONAL STAFF.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ADDING AN ENTRY-LEVEL COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST TO REALLY HELP WITH A LOT OF THINGS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

SO, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE MEASURE A PARTNER AGENCIES, WORKING WITH CITIZENS AND STAKEHOLDERS, AND THEN FINALLY,

WORKING WITH THE FUNDING AGENCIES.

WE THINK IT WILL HELP US DO MORE OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO AT STA.

I WOULD SAY I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK THAN THIS PERSON CAN DO, BUT I THINK ADDING ONE STAFF, I THINK, WILL HELP US OUT GREATLY.

THEN THANK YOU FOR HAVING IT.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

AND FINALLY ALIJING TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIES WITH FUNDING.

I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE SMART GROWTH ARTERIALS AND CORRIDORS PROGRAM.

SO THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM IS ONE OF OUR SOMEWHAT DISCRETIONARY FUNDING SOURCES.

AND SO AS WE TRY TO LEVERAGE, YOU KNOW, LOCAL FUNDS TO GET MORE STATE AND FEDERAL DOLLARS, THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNDING SOURCES WE CAN USE A LITTLE BIT MORE STRATEGICALLY.

PROGRAM AS AN EXAMPLE. WE HAVE SOME FUNDING IN FOR A MATCH ON A GRANT TO DO SOME PLANNING

THAT'S NEEDED ON 80 AND ONCE THAT PLANNING IS DONE WE'LL BE ELIGIBLE FOR SB1 SOLUTIONS FOR

CONGESTED QUARTERS PROGRAM. THE FEDERAL FUNDING ROUND IS COMING OUT TYPICALLY WE'VE USED THIS

FUND TO PROVIDE THE LOCAL MATCH FOR COMMUNITY DESIGN WHICH HAS BEEN PRETTY SUCCESSFUL IN THE

PAST. I WILL NOTE THAT COMMUNITY DESIGN DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO

THROUGH A SORT OF A WHAT ARE WE GOING TO USE WITH THESE FUNDS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF

CYCLES SO THERE WILL BE SOME WORK COMING UP IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS ON THAT. SAFE STREETS

AND ROADS FOR ALL IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO SOME PLANNING WORK SPECIFICALLY WE'RE GOING TO DO A COUNTY WIDE SAFETY ACTION

PLAN AND ONCE THAT'S DONE ALL THE AGENCIES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE GRANT FUNDS AS WELL AS THE

HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SO JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A FLAVOR OF HOW WE'RE THINKING

ABOUT USING THOSE FUNDS SOME OF IT'S COOKED UP IN THE BUDGET SOME OF IT WE'RE GOING TO COME

BACK TO YOU WITH LOOKING FOR MORE SPECIFIC BOARD DIRECTION. SO THE RECOMMENDATION HERE IS JUST

TO INTRODUCE THE FISCAL YEAR 2526 BUDGET AND RELATED RESOLUTION AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

YOU MAY HAVE BUT THIS IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM. OKAY THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATION ITEM

TODAY? YES. OKAY GREAT THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT WE'LL START WITH UH DIRECTOR GUERRA. UH THANK YOU VERY MUCH

UH DIRECTOR SHERNA. THE THE UH THE ONE COMMENT I HAVE AND CONCERN HERE IS ON THE UH THE THIS UH

NEW FTE AND THE CONS THE I GUESS MAYBE A POINT OF CONVERSATION MAYBE I WOULDN'T SAY CONCERN BUT POINT OF CONVERSATION

CONVERSATION HERE IS AS WE COME TO THE BUDGET IS WHAT YOU'RE INTENDING TO HIRE A WILL YOU SET AN

ENTRY LEVEL COMMUNICATIONS PERSON AND THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO DO A LOT OF OUTREACH AND STUFF AS

WE'RE COMING UP TO THE BALLOT MEASURE BUT IT ALMOST SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE

APPROPRIATE THAT IF A BALLOT MEASURE WAS WAS PASSED TO HAVE A FULL-TIME FTE BUT IF WE'RE ONLY WITHIN A

YEAR'S TIME FRAME OF A BALLOT MEASURE GIVEN HOW LONG IT TAKES TO YOU KNOW YOU KNOW SCALE UP SOMEBODY ENGAGE IN

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO SHOULDN'T WE ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT MORE ABOUT WHAT IF WE'RE IF WE SHOULD RECRUIT A FIRM THAT

DOES THE OUTREACH OR STUFF THAT THAT OR THE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE DOING THAT BECAUSE IF NOT I I IF YOUR INTENT IS TO GET

THE COMMUNICATION GOING OUT AND ENGAGEMENT UM WE'LL PROBABLY SPEND AT LEAST THE FIRST SIX MONTHS ON AN

ENTRY LEVEL PERSON AND SO THAT'S I GUESS THE BALANCE FOR THE BOARD THAT I WOULD SAY IS IS UH NOW UH AGAIN WE'RE NOW

WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER FTE YOU KNOW TO THE TO A DWINDLING POT OF MONEY WHEN WE'VE GOT DOWN A DOWNWARD TRAJECTION AT THE

MOMENT FOR SALES TAX REVENUE IF WE HAD THE NEW MEASURE UM APPROVED UM I THINK WHAT WE WHAT WE HAVEN'T DONE IN THE PAST IS

MORE COMMUNICATION OUTREACH ABOUT TRANSPORTATION UH AND WE SHOULD DO THAT GOING FORWARD BUT I THINK THE THE

FOCUS SHOULD BE LET'S GET THE STRONGEST COMMUNICATIONS APPROACH OUT WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR SO I WOULD BE MUCH MORE

INTERESTED IN HAVING A CONVERSATION WHETHER IT'S MORE APPROPRIATE IF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE ALSO

SAYING YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOU KNOW APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS OR OTHER AGENCIES SO NOW YOU'RE SPREADING ALL OF THESE

DIFFERENT DUTIES WITH A VERY SMALL POT OF MONEY SO I THINK THE UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE PRIORITY IS

WOULD BE HELPFUL AND I AGREE THOSE ARE ALL IMPORTANT PRIORITIES SO THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS AND POINTS OF

CONVERSATION SINCE WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THAT NOW CHAIR BUT AS WE COME TO THE BUDGET GREAT THANK YOU GOOD COMMENTS

DIRECTOR KENNEDY THANK YOU CHAIR SO FIRST I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO MY COLLEAGUES BECAUSE MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR ME

BRING THIS UP PRETTY CONSISTENTLY OVER THE MANY DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WE SIT ON

IS THERE ANY MONEY YET I REALIZE IT'S MULTIJURISDICTIONAL AND IT'S COMPLEX BUT IS THERE ANY

MONEY YET IN THE BUDGET FOR THE BRT LANE ON STOCKTON BULLEVARD

SO STOCKTON BULLEVARD STOCKTON BULLEVARD IS NOT A MEASURE A PROJECT

THAT'S A PROJECT WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED WE HAD SOME MATCHING FUNDS THAT WE PROVIDED LOCAL AGENCIES THROUGH

COMMUNITY DESIGN AND SO THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUNDING STOCKTON BULLEVARD RELATED TO THOSE

MATCHING FUNDS FOR THAT SMART GROWTH RELATED FUNDS BUT WE DON'T IT'S NOT IN OUR EXPENDITURE PLAN

CURRENT OKAY OKAY THANK YOU DIRECTOR DICKENSON

THANK YOU MR. CHAIR I'M OF SOMEWHAT THE SAME THINKING AS DIRECTOR GUERRA WITH RESPECT TO THE ADDITION OF THE

OR PROPOSED ADDITION OF THE COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF WE

ENGAGE IN TRYING TO DEVELOP A MEASURE WHICH WE'RE PRESUMABLY GOING TO DO THAT IN THE

CONTEXT OF WHOEVER WE MIGHT RETAIN TO CONSULT ON THAT THAT COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND

PUBLIC INTERACTION WOULD BE A PART OF THAT CONTRACT OR MAYBE THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE CONTRACTS I

MEAN I'M NOT PREJUDGING THAT BUT CERTAINLY THERE'S NO QUESTION WE WOULD WANT TO INCORPORATE

COMMUNITY OUTREACH IT SEEMS TO ME IN ANY EFFORT WE MIGHT MAKE TO DEVELOP A MEASURE AND GET TO THE

POINT OF SETTLING ON SOMETHING THAT THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE GO ON THE BALLOT AND SO I'M CURIOUS ABOUT

JUST YOUR OWN SENSE OF WHAT THE NEED FOR THIS POSITION AND I SEE IT'S SLATED FOR MID YEAR SO YOU'RE NOT

PROPOSING IT FOR JULY 1ST I SEE IT'S START OF NEXT YEAR CALENDAR YEAR BUT I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU SEE

AS THE NEED FOR THIS ADDITION AND I WOULD SAY ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF WHAT WE MAY SEE AS CONTINUING

DECLINING REVENUE I HOPE NOT BUT MAY SEEING DECLINING REVENUE

YEAH I THINK FROM MY STANDPOINT I THINK YOU KNOW FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IS THAT THE CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE

WITH THE WITH OUR CURRENT APPROACH HAS BEEN IT'S BEEN VERY REACTIONARY TO WHEN A MEASURE IS MOVING

FORWARD RIGHT AND SO SO SDA SORT OF I'LL BORROW SOME WORDS FROM ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS IS SORT OF

TOILS IN OBSCURITY RIGHT NOBODY KNOWS WE REALLY EXIST AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE PUT A MEASURE ON THE BALLOT

AND IT'S LIKE HEY REMEMBER SDA WE EXIST RIGHT AND SO I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE JUST SOME SORT OF BASIC

BASIC YOU KNOW EDUCATION ON THAT SDA EXISTS WE HAVE THE MEASURE WE'RE UTILIZING IT RIGHT AND SO WE WE HAVE A

CURRENTLY WE HAVE AN INTERN WE SPEND ABOUT 20,000 A YEAR ON AN INTERN THAT REALLY IS JUST

FULLY FOCUSED ON MORE ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA STANDPOINT RIGHT BUT I THINK IT'S I THINK WE'RE REALLY LACKING IN

ACTUALLY ENSURING THAT THE VOTERS KNOW THAT WE EXIST AND THEY'RE EDUCATED ABOUT HOW OUR CURRENT MEASURE WORKS

AND SO I VIEW THIS AS SORT OF A YOU KNOW A BASELINE LEVEL OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

AND THEN AS WE RAMP UP FOR A SPECIFIC MEASURE AND NEED TO INCREASE EDUCATION ON A NEW MEASURE THAT'S ADDITIONAL COST

ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT'S THAT'S MY INTENT AND WE CAN CERTAINLY OBVIOUSLY WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE OUR NOT HIRE SOMEONE

AND I JUST IT'S VERY FROM THE YOU KNOW IT'S VERY CHALLENGING TO CONTINUE TO BE

TO HAVE THESE SORT OF I GUESS FITS AND STOPS ON EDUCATING RIGHT AND SO LIKE BEFORE I STARTED

YOU KNOW I LOOKED AT OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AS AN EXAMPLE AND IT WAS LIKE WE POSTED LIKE TWO YEARS AGO

AND THEN WE POSTED YOU KNOW SIX MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS LIKE THAT'S IT NOW WE'RE POSTING EVERY WEEK

BUT I JUST THINK THERE'S SOME BASE THERE'S SOME BASE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO WE'RE ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR

AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITION THE REASON WHY WE'RE ABLE TO REALLY AFFORD THAT I THINK IS ONE

YOU KNOW WE PAY WE INTENTIONALLY PAY DOWN OUR LONG-TERM PENSION LIABILITY WHICH WAS ABOUT 150 000 PLUS

THE ADDITIONAL MONEY WE'RE PAYING WHICH IS ANOTHER 100 000 SO AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITION IS VERY

FEASIBLE WHERE WE'RE AT AND WE'VE DONE A FIVE YEAR PROJECTION TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO ISSUES

AS FAR AS WHERE WE SEE REVENUES GOING SO WE'RE GOOD SHAPED FINANCIALLY FOR THAT OKAY THAT THAT

THAT HELPS THAT HELPS ME UM UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR CONCEPT HERE I'M JUST CURIOUS

HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH WITH THE BENEFICIARY AGENCIES WITH THE CITY THE COUNTY THE OTHER

ALL THE CITIES UM THE WITH REGIONAL TRANSIT ABOUT USING THEIR PUBLIC RELATIONS PUBLIC INFORMATION

PERSONNEL AND ACTIVITIES TO TO ACCOMPLISH THIS EDUCATION BASELINE EDUCATION UH ELEMENT THAT THAT YOU'VE DESCRIBED

WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SACRT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT DOING A SHARED POSITION UM SEE IF THEY COULD THEY

COULD BE HALFTIME HALFTIME AT FTE HALFTIME FTE SACRT IS AN EXAMPLE UM FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS ONE OF

THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE COST THE COST SAVINGS TO US BUT THE OTHER PART OF IT HAS TO DO WITH YOU KNOW

ENSURING THAT WHERE WE HIRE HAS YOU KNOW THE ABILITY TO LEARN AND GROW IN THEIR POSITION

ACROSS MULTIPLE AGENCIES UM BUT YOU KNOW I WOULD SAY WE HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF INTENSIVE DISCUSSIONS WITH

COUNTY AND CITIES ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR POSITION UH SOME OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH JUST WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE TIME TO

DO THAT KIND OF HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS BUT OKAY I I DON'T KNOW I THINK THAT THAT KIND OF DISCUSSION MIGHT MIGHT BE

USEFUL UH YOU KNOW THE I THINK ALL THE ALL THE JURISDICTIONS IF THEY'RE DOING A PROJECT PUT UP SIGNS UH SAYING THAT WE'RE USING MEASURE A MONEY THOSE KINDS OF THINGS

AT LEAST I PRESUME THEY ALL DO CITY CITY DOES THE COUNTY DO UH CITY OF SACRAMENTO I SHOULD SAY UM I ASSUME THE OTHER CITIES DO DO AS WELL

THAT'S A MINIMUM LEVEL OF EDUCATION EFFORT UH CERTAINLY BUT BUT ALL THE JURISDICTIONS HAVE PEOPLE IN THEIR

TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENTS AND IN THEIR PUBLIC INFORMATION CAPACITIES THAT COULD BE THE CONDUIT FOR WHAT YOU WANT

TO ACCOMPLISH WHICH I DO THINK MAKES SENSE AND I JUST I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S A WAY OF ECONOMIZING

BUT GETTING GETTING THE RESULT THAT YOU'D LIKE TO TO SEE ANYWAY SOMETHING MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BETWEEN NOW

AND MAYBE HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME WE TAKE ACTION ON THE ON THE BUDGET THANKS MR. CHAIR

THANK YOU GOOD COMMENTS UH DIRECTOR NELSON

THAT'S ACTUALLY ME CHAIR I WASN'T THE COMPUTER WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO LOG IN SO OKAY BORROWING A MIC SO LET ME

JUST SO BEFORE YOU START THE MONITORS ARE ALL SCREWED UP HERE SO UH DOES DIRECTOR TALAMANTIS WISH TO SPEAK NEXT

OKAY MADAM CLERK DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE CUE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK

I DO NOT SEE THE CUE ON MY I'M ON THE PHONE WITH METRO CABLE AND THE FIX IS TO

RESTART THE SYSTEM IF YOU'D LIKE TO RESTART THE SYSTEM THAT'S ALL RIGHT WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS UH UH

UH DIRECTOR PULAPATI I SEE YOU ON THE SCREEN DID DID YOU WANT TO CHIME IN HERE OKAY ALL RIGHT

THE FLOOR IS YOURS DIRECTOR HUGHE THANK YOU SIR UH I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED

USUALLY WHEN I REVIEW A BUDGET THERE ARE ROWS AND COLUMNS AND NUMBERS AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THOSE THINGS

IN THE PRESENTATION IT'S IN THE IT'S IN THE BUDGET BUT WHERE IS THE BUDGET BECAUSE I ACTUALLY

THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MY STAFF HAD NOT PRINTED SOMETHING OUT AND I PULLED IT UP ON THE WEBSITE AND IT'S NOT IN THAT

PACKET EITHER

THERE IS A LINK TO THE BUDGET IN THE STAFF REPORT THERE IS A LINK TO THE BUDGET IN THE STAFF REPORT

YES AHA UNDER ATTACHMENT

CLICK HERE TO VIEW BUDGETS

THERE IT IS A WHOLE LOT OF INFORMATION THANK YOU

FOR A MINUTE THERE I THOUGHT WHATEVER IS AFFECTING THE MONITORS THAT INFECTED YOUR PHONE THERE

DIRECTOR TALAMANTIS

THANK YOU CHAIR I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITH HIRING AN INTERN LEVEL

COMMUNICATIONS PERSON YOU KNOW I RECENTLY RAN THE SACRAMENTO PUBLIC LIBRARY BALLOT MEASURE TO RENEW IT

AND UH AND WELL IN PERPETUITY SO I DON'T WANT TO KEEP RUNNING A MEASURE EVERY 10 YEARS

AND HAVING THAT EDUCATION IS SO IMPORTANT THERE ARE REELS ON INSTAGRAM THAT SAY MEASURE A DOES X Y

AND Z FOR YOU MEASURE A IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FOR YOU AND OUR CITY OF SACRAMENTO DEPARTMENTS

LIKE UTILITIES COMMUNITY RESPONSE LIKE AT LEAST EIGHT DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS HAVE THEIR OWN

SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES AND THEY'RE DOING LIKE REALLY FUN VIDEOS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SACRAMENTO

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS AND PEOPLE LOVE THIS INFORMATION PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY FOR

THIS INFORMATION AND PEOPLE SPEND MORE THAN 10 HOURS A WEEK OR DAY ON THEIR PHONES SO WE NEED

TO INVEST A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY INTO FUTURE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF WE WANT TO CONVINCE THE VOTERS THAT

LIKE WE'RE USING THEIR TAXPARER DOLLARS APPROPRIATELY SO PLEASE MOVE FORWARD ON MY END WITH THE BUDGETED POSITION

VICE CHAIR RATHEL

I'M JUST GOING TO ECHO DIRECTOR TELEMONTES FROM SOMEBODY WHO'S NEWLY SERVING HERE BUT SOMEBODY WHO WAS

PRETTY INVOLVED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS BOARD DOES AND NO IDEA YOU KNOW DRIVING

PAST AND SEEING THOSE SIGNS DURING CONSTRUCTION TIME IF ANYTHING IT'S NOT HELPING THE IMAGE RIGHT PUT THEM UP LARGE GIANT

SIGNS WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION IS DONE THAT MAY BE HELPFUL SAY THIS PROJECT PROVIDED TO YOU BY MEASURE A

BUT I'D BE FULLY SUPPORTIVE IT'S A RELATIVELY SMALL COST AND I DO THINK IT PAYS LARGE DIVIDENCE IN THE LONG TERM

AND NOT TURNING IT ON AND OFF REALLY WHEN YOU TURN THINGS OFF IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO BUILD BACK UP

AND I WANT TO THINK IT'S A LONG TIME TO BUILD BACK UP.

DIRECTOR RODRIGUEZ.

I JUST WANT TO THROW MY VOTE IN ALSO FOR HIRING SOMEBODY TO DO SOME EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC ON WHAT STA DOES

YOU KNOW PRIOR TO BEING ELECTED OFFICIAL I WOULD SEE YOU KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS SUPPORTED BY MEASURE A

BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANT TO ME AS A SOMEBODY WHO WAS DRIVING THE STREET AND SO SOME A LITTLE EDUCATION TO

LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT MEASURE A WOULD DO AND AND YOU KNOW SOME OF THE POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE KIND OF STALLED

BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE FUNDING FOR I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION TO AND SO I'M I'M REALLY BIG ON PUBLIC EDUCATION ON PROJECTS THANK YOU.

DIRECTOR BUCEY. YEAH ONE THING I'LL JUST QUICKLY SAY I THINK THE I THINK THE IDEA OF WORKING WITH THE PIO IS A GREAT IDEA ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE IS YOU KNOW A LOT OF OUR FUNDING IS DISTRIBUTED FORMULAICALLY ABOUT 80% OF THAT FUNDING IS USED FORMULAICALLY RIGHT SO ONCE IT LEAVES OUR HANDS IT GOES IT'S BUDGETED BY THE CITIES AND COUNTIES ON A VARIETY OF PROJECTS AND SO WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT PROJECTS ARE ARE HAVE MEASURE A MONEY IN THEM RIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT BUDGETING THAT.

AND IN ADDITION THE PIO'S ARE VERY FOCUSED ON ELEVATING THEIR AGENCY RIGHT THAT'S THEIR FOCUS AND SO WE WE HAVE TO TRY TO STAY IT'S VERY IT'S HARD TO TRACK IT ALL AND STAY AHEAD OF IT ALL SO THAT WE'RE ENSURING THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION WHEN THERE'S MEASURE A FUNDS ABOUT A PROJECT WHEN THE GROUNDBREAKING HAPPENS AS AN EXAMPLE.

SO THAT'S WHERE THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE NEED THE HELP WE DO THINK THERE'S A LOT OF SYNERGY WITH THE PIO'S AND IF WE HAD A PERSON TO COORDINATE WITH THE 14 AGENCIES THAT DO THAT WORK I THINK WE WOULD BE MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL.

BUT THANK YOU.

AND JUST REALLY QUICK I WANT TO SAY THAT I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE FACEBOOK POSTS THAT COME OUT AND I TRY TO LIKE THEM AND MAKE COMMENTS SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

DERECTOR GUERRA.

THANK YOU CHAIR.

FIRST I FORGET I'D BE REMISSED IF I DIDN'T SUPPORT THE STOCKTON BOULEVARD PRT ITEM GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE COLONIAL HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD IS MEETING TONIGHT SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING.

BUT TO THAT POINT YOU KNOW MOST THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT THAT WE NEED TO DO MORE OUTREACH AND EDUCATION.

I MEAN IN FACT I THINK THAT'S WHAT HURT US IN MEASURE B.

WE GOT GOING TOO LATE AND WE DIDN'T GET OUT THAT INFORMATION.

AND I THINK YOU KNOW WITH A LITTLE MORE HEADWAY WE COULD HAVE PROBABLY BEAT THAT LAST .3%.

THE QUESTION THOUGH BECOMES WHAT LEVEL OF WORK WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.

I MEAN WHAT I THINK WE DO NEED IS SOMEONE WHO'S MUCH MORE EXPERIENCED IN THAT EFFORT.

YOU'RE ASKING FOR A JUNIOR STAFFER.

ALL OF US HAVE JUNIOR STAFFERS.

I'VE BEEN A JUNIOR STAFFER.

AND THEN A SPREAD OF A LOT OF WORK OVER THIS.

SO THAT'S I THINK THE QUESTION WE SHOULD HAVE.

NO QUESTION THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO OUTREACH OR EDUCATION.

WHAT I'M HEARING FROM THE BOARD THEN IS TO SAY THAT IF YOU DO HIRE SOMEBODY,

THEN THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING ANY OF THE OTHER WORK, THE GRANTS AND APPLICATIONS,

BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST NOT GOING TO GET THAT OUT OF A JUNIOR STAFFER AT THAT POINT.

THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS HERE. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR GUERRA.

I THINK, DIRECTOR BUCEY, YOU'RE HEARING FROM A NUMBER OF AUTHORITY BOARD MEMBERS, I THINK RIGHTFULLY

SO THAT THERE IS A GROWING SENSITIVITY TO HOW AND WHY AND BY WHAT MEANS WE ENHANCE OUR COMMUNICATION

EFFORTS, BOTH AS IT RELATES TO KIND OF OUR DAY TO DAY PRESENCE AND, YOU KNOW, HOW WE SHOWCASE WHAT WE DO FOR THE PUBLIC GENERALLY.

BUT AS WE GET CLOSER TO A BALLOT MEASURE, I THINK THERE'S A GROWING INTEREST ON THIS BOARD FOR A VERY

METHODICAL WAY TO COMMUNICATE ABOUT THAT PART OF THAT INITIATIVE, LOWERCASE I.

SO WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST, AND PERHAPS THIS IS ALREADY SET IN MOTION, BUT WE DO HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT'S

ON THE MEASURE, AND I SUSPECT THAT THAT WILL, THAT BEING COMMUNICATION, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE COMMUNICATION

CAMPAIGN RELATIVE TO THE MEASURE WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER OF THAT COMMITTEE'S CONSIDERATION IN TERMS OF

WHAT RESOURCES WE MAY NEED TO ADD OR HAVE ENHANCED, WHETHER IT'S OFF THE SHELF HELP FROM FIRMS OR

TO ADD OR HAVE ENHANCED, AND SOMEHOW HAVING A FTE OR FTE'S PLURAL, WHETHER IT BE SHARED COSTS WITH

OTHER SISTER AGENCIES OR NOT BE PART OF THAT EFFORT IN ADDITION TO KIND OF THE DAY-TO-DAY NEEDS AS

IT RELATES TO OUTREACH TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD WAY TO PUT A BOW ON THAT PART OF THE FEEDBACK YOU'RE RECEIVING,

AND I TOO WILL ADD MY INTEREST TO DIRECTOR KENNEDY'S AS EXPRESSED AND DIRECTOR GUERRA'S ABOUT BRT.

THAT IS A VERY MUCH NEEDED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ASSET ALONG THE STOCKTON BOULEVARD CORRIDOR.

IT'S A SHARED PART OF THE POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY THAT HAS A NUMBER OF US THAT CONTINUE TO BE VERY EXERCISED IN THE RIGHT WAY ABOUT HOW TO BRING BRT TO THAT PART OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO.

SO AGAIN, I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HEARING KIND OF THAT INTEREST EXPRESSED HERE TODAY IN THE CONTEXT OF BUDGETING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION.

SO, DIRECTOR BUSY.

I'M JUST TRYING TO CLOSE THIS OUT.

SO, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE BUDGET, DO WE WANT TO, I WOULD SUGGEST INCLUDING THE, KEEPING THE BUDGET AS IS BUT AS FAR AS ACTUAL DECISION TO UTILIZE THAT BUDGET, WE WOULD RELY UPON THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AND FIGURE OUT A PATH FORWARD.

SO WE AT LEAST HAVE A PLACEHOLDER IN CASE WE WANT TO DO ANYTHING LATER.

I'M SEEING SOME NODDING HEADS SO I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

SECOND, AS IT RELEASES TO STOCKTON BOULEVARD, BRT, IT'S NOT A MEASURE A PROJECT.

HOWEVER, I GUESS MY VIEW OF WHAT SDA'S ROLE IS IS TO BRING FUNDING IN TO PRIORITIES AND IF THAT'S A PRIORITY PROJECT, THERE ARE THINGS THAT SDA CAN DO WHETHER THAT'S A COORDINATING ROLE OR HELPING AN ASSIST ON GRANT APPLICATIONS.

SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING OF INTEREST, I'M HAPPY TO BRING BACK AN ITEM SPECIFICALLY ON THAT TO TALK THROUGH WHAT WE COULD DO AND GET SOME, MAYBE SOME BURTHER BOARD DIRECTION.

IF IT'S A BIG PRIORITY FOR WHAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR STA'S ROLE AND TRYING TO MOVE THAT PROJECT FORWARD.

I WON'T SPEAK FOR THE OTHERS YOU'VE HEARD FROM ABOUT THIS ISSUE THIS AFTERNOON.

BUT I CERTAINLY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF DIRECTORS GERRA OR KENNEDY WANT TO CHIME IN, BUT I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

DIRECTOR KENNEDY.

THANK YOU, CHAIR.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR GERRA, AS WELL.

I THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, THIS IS A PROJECT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A LONG TIME.

IT'S VERY POPULAR WITH SO MANY PEOPLE, BUT YET IT'S, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE GETTING THE MOMENTUM THAT IT NEEDS AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE.

SO I'M GOING TO BE DIRECTING THESE SAME QUESTIONS AT SACOG AND RT AND OTHER BOARDS THAT I SIT ON.

SO IF WE COULD, YOU KNOW, DO WHAT YOU SAID, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

IT IS THE, AS WE ALL KNOW, THE BUSIEST TRANSIT ROUTE THROUGHOUT THE RT SYSTEM.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BADLY NEEDED DOWN THAT AREA.

SO THANK YOU, GENTLEMENT, FOR BRINGING IT UP AS WELL.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

DIRECTOR GERRA.

YEAH, THANK YOU, CHAIR.

AND, AGAIN, EVEN THIS, WE'VE MOVED TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE AN MOU BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY AND RT,

BUT UNTIL WE ACTUALLY START, YOU KNOW, PUTTING SOME DOLLARS ON TO MAKE THE NEXT STEPS MOVING FORWARD,

THEN WE WON'T SEE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY BRT IN THE REGION IF WE CAN'T GET THIS ONE GOING WHERE WE HAVE WILLING PARTNERS AT THE MOMENT.

SO THANK YOU, CHAIR.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE AUTHORITY BOARD ON THIS MATTER?

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.

OKAY, VERY GOOD.

AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.

ITEM NUMBER 8 IS TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION ON THE SB1 COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS AND UPCOMING 2026 PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, BOARD.

SO THIS IS SB1 COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS AND UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES.

I WILL GIVE AN UPDATE ON SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT MEASURE A RELATED BUT WE LEVERAGE MEASURE A TO TRY TO ACCESS THOSE FUNDS.

I HAVE TO CLICK THIS THING.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU REMEMBER BACK IN 2016 BEFORE SB1, WE WERE IN A REALLY BAD POSITION AS FAR AS TRANSPORTATION FUNDING ACROSS THE STATE.

WE WERE IN A COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTING ACROSS THE STATE.

THE REVENUE IS PRIMARY THE REVENUE THAT WAS BEING PROVIDED TO THE COUNTIES AND CITIES AND TRANSIT AGENCIES AND IT HAD NOT KEPT UP INFLATION AND IT WAS NOT INDEXED TO INFLATION.

SO IN 2017 WHEN SB1 WAS PASSED,

IT REALLY PROVIDED A LOT MORE

FUNDING TO THE COUNTIES, THE

CITY, TRANS PROVIDERS, CALTRANS

TO MOVE PROJECT FORWARD.

ONE THING THEY DID DIFFERENTLY

WHEN THEY CREATED, WHEN THEY

DID SB1, IS THEY CREATED THOSE

FEES, THEY INDEXED THE GAS

PRICES TO INFLATION, BUT THEY

CREATED A WHOLE NEW SET OF

COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS ACROSS THE

STATE.

AND SO THIS SLIDE HERE PROVIDES

HOW MUCH FUNDING EVERY TWO YEARS

IS COMING FROM THESE PROGRAMS.

SO THERE'S 144 MILLION AVAILABLE

STATEWIDE IN THE LOCAL

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, 500 MILLION

UNDER SOLUTIONS FOR CONDRESSED

CORRIDORS, AND 900 MILLION UNDER

TRADE CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT

PROGRAM.

AND WE USE THIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO

ON THE RIGHT.

I JUST NOW RECOGNIZED THAT.

OKAY.

MR. OUR CHAIR TOOK.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF HOW WE'VE

TRIED TO LEVERAGE SOME OF THE

LOCAL MEASURE A FUNDS OVER THE

PAST THREE CYCLES OF SB1.

SO IN 2018, ABOUT $150 MILLION

WAS AWARDED TO PROJECTS WITHIN

SACRAMENTO COUNTY.

WE ACTUALLY PRIORITIZED THE

CAPITAL SOUTHEAST CONNECTOR

THROUGH OUR LOCAL PARTNERSHIP

PROGRAM IN 2018, RESULTING IN

ABOUT A $20 MILLION AWARD.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE THAT WAS

A LITTLE MORE STRATEGIC IS

CALTRANS CAME TO US SAY, HEY, CAN

WE ADVANCE SOME OF OUR MEASURE

CAPITAL DOLLARS TO POSITION SOME

OF THESE LARGER PROJECTS FOR

FUNDING.

SPECIFICALLY I-5 MANAGED LANES,

HOV LANES, FROM DOWNTOWN

SACRAMENTO TO ELK GROVE AS WELL

AS THE U.S. 50 PROJECT THAT'S

ACTUALLY STILL IN CONSTRUCTION.

SO THEY GOT THAT, WITH THOSE

FUNDS, WE'RE ABLE TO ADVANCE

THOSE PROJECTS, GOT OVER $100

MILLION IN FUNDING.

AND THEN IN 2020, WE PRIORITIZED

THE SOUTH WATT PROJECT, WHICH

WAS AWARDED AS WELL AND NOW IS

IN CONSTRUCTION AND IS ALSO A

MEASURE A PROJECT.

AND THEN IN 2022, MOST

RECENTLY WE PRIORITIZED THE

U.S. 50 GOLD LINE IMPROVEMENTS

WHICH MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO BOTH

THE GOLD LINE AND THE U.S. 50

INTERCHANGE.

AND WE SUBMITTED THE I-5 MANAGED

LINE PROJECT, WHICH WAS

PART OF THE U.S. 50 GOLD LINE

IMPROVEMENTS TO BOTH THE

GOLD LINE IMPROVEMENTS TO BOTH

THE GOLD LINE AND THE U.S. 50

INTERCHANGE.

AND WE SUBMITTED THE I-5 MANAGED

LINE PROJECT, WHICH WAS PART OF

THE 121.6 MILLION AWARDS IN

2022.

SO THE TOTAL AWARDS TO PROJECTS

IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY OVER THE

CYCLES IS 432 MILLION.

YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE KIND OF

BROKEN OUT BY PROGRAM HERE.

THIS GIVES YOU THE IDEA OF, YOU

KNOW, THIS COMPETITIVE FUNDING

THAT WE CAN PURSUE WITH MEASURE

A.

SO THE CURRENT ROUND OF SPP

ONE FUNDING WAS DUE IN

DECEMBER OF 2024.

THE ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE IN

ABOUT FOUR WEEKS.

I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A

QUICK OVERVIEW OF THOSE

PROJECTS.

WE HAD TRANSFORMING THE

SACRAMENTO REGION PROJECT

WHICH WAS PRIORITIZED BY STA.

WE HAD THE I-STREET BRIDGE

REPLACEMENT PROJECT WHICH WAS

SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF

SACRAMENTO.

THEN WE HAD THE PLACER

SACRAMENTO GATEWAY PHASE

THREE PROJECT WHICH IMPROVES

WORK IN BOTH, IT'S WORK IN

PLACER AND SACRAMENTO COUNTY.

THAT PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY

PRIORITIZED BY STA.

WE WENT THROUGH A PRIORITIZATION

EFFORT HERE AT STA.

IT'S OUR PRIORITY FOR THIS

PROGRAM.

IT WAS ALSO SACOG'S PRIORITY

FOR THIS PROGRAM.

AND THEN FINALLY THE GRAND

LINE ROAD SAFETY AND FREIGHT

MOBILITY PROJECT WHICH WAS

PRIORITIZED BY STA.

STA HAS TRADITIONALLY NOT

PRIORITIZED, DONE THE

PRIORITIZATION OF SP1.

THEY JUST STARTED DOING THAT.

AND SO WE'VE BEEN DOING THE

LPP.

THEY JUST STARTED WANTING TO

PRIORITIZE THE OTHER

PROGRAM.

SO NOW WE'RE TRYING TO WORK

THROUGH THAT TOGETHER.

SO WE'LL FIND OUT IN ABOUT

FOUR WEEKS WHAT THE ACTUAL

REWARDS ARE.

AND THEN JUST KIND OF LOOKING

AHEAD SPECIFICALLY ON

SOLUTIONS FOR CONCHESTED

CORRIDORS PROGRAM WHICH WE

TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.

WE HAVE, THERE ARE SEVERAL

OF THESE MULTIMODAL

CORRIDOR PLANS THAT NEED TO

BE COMPLETED SO YOU HAVE TO

COMPLETE THE PLANNING FIRST

AND THEN AFTER THE

PLANNING FIRST AND THEN

AFTER THE PLANNING

SOME OF THE PLANNING

SOME OF THE PLANNING

SOME OF THE PLANNING

IS COMPLETED YOU CAN SUBMIT

FOR THESE APPLICATIONS.

THERE'S CURRENTLY THREE

PLANNING EFFORTS GOING ON NOW.

ONE ON US 50 FROM WEST

SACRAMENTO POLLACK PINES.

ANOTHER ON 99 FROM

SACRAMENTO BAKERSFIELD AND

FINALLY ON 80 FROM SACRAMENTO

TO LINCOLN AND AUBURN.

THOSE EFFORTS ARE LED BY

DIFFERENT AGENCIES.

SO FOR THIS PROGRAM IT'S

USUALLY THE RTPP AND THE

PROGRAM IT'S USUALLY THE

RTPP AND THE RTPP AND THE

RTPP AND THE RTPP AND THE

RTPP AND THE RTPP AND THE

RTPP AND THE RTPP AND THE

STA OR CALTRANS WHO SUBMITS

FOR THOSE.

SO IN 2026 USUALLY YOU KNOW

YOU CAN ONLY SUBMIT REALLY

SHOULD ONLY BE SUBMITTING ONE

OF THESE.

WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH

OF THESE THREE CORRIDORS HAVE

BEEN INCLUDED.

STA'S ROLE IS TO BE ACTIVELY

ENGAGED IN THESE DISCUSSIONS

TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECTS

THAT ARE PRIORITY TO OUR

JURISDICTIONS ARE INCLUDED AND

IF THEY'RE BEING MISSED BY

YOU KNOW CALTRANS IS MISSING

A PROJECT WE CAN OR SAGOG

IS MISSING A PROJECT WE CAN

SURE ARE INCLUDED.

I GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE

BECAUSE WE BROUGHT UP STOCKTON

BUT THE STATE ROUTE 99

PROJECT STATE ROUTE 99 STUDY

THEY WERE DOING THAT RIGHT IN

THE MIDDLE OF THE UPDATE TO

THE BLUEPRINT SO WE HAD TO MAKE

SURE THAT ALL THE PROJECTS

THAT WERE IN THE BLUEPRINT

MADE INTO THAT PROJECT INCLUDING

STOCKTON BOULEVARD SO THAT'S

WHY THAT PROJECT IS NOW GOING

TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT PLAN.

BUT THOSE ARE OUR EFFORTS AND

WE'LL NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT

THE PRIORITIES ARE.

WE'LL HELP FIGURE OUT WHAT

THE PRIORITIES ARE WITH THE

REGION ON WHAT GETS SUBMITTED

IN 2026.

SO THAT'S IT.

I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

GREAT.

THANK YOU DIRECTOR BUSY.

DIRECTOR DICKINSON.

THANKS MR. CHAIR AND THANKS

FOR THE PRESENTATION.

WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE WAS THE

SENTENCE UNDER THE FISCAL

IMPACT PARAGRAPH FOR THE LOCAL

PARTNER COMPETITIVE PROGRAM.

EXCUSE ME IN THE TRADE CORRIDOR

ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.

THERE'S NO VIABLE MEASURE A

FUNDING TO SUPPORT THIS PLANNING

OR GRANT WORK.

AND THE LOCAL PARTNER

PARTNERSHIP FORMULA PROGRAM

FUNDS STA HAS ACCESS TO ARE NOT

ELIGIBLE FOR THIS WORK.

SO I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT

THERE IS, THERE ARE NO MEASURE A

PROJECTS THAT CAN SERVE AS, I'M

ASSUMING YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

LOCAL MATCH FOR THE LOCAL

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM OR THE

CONGESTED CORRIDORS PROGRAM.

SO IS THAT, THAT'S A STARTING

PLACE.

IS MY ASSUMPTION CORRECT THAT

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MATCH?

WELL, SO I THINK FOR,

MAYBE WE TALK ABOUT TRADE

CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.

SO TRADE CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT

PROGRAM IS THE LARGEST SB1

COMPETITIVE PROGRAM.

RIGHT.

THERE IS NO, THERE IS NO

LIKE, THERE IS NO DISCRETIONARY

FUNDING SOURCE THAT STA HAS

ACCESS TO TO HELP, YOU KNOW,

GET EVERYONE TOGETHER AND

DEVELOP A COUNTY WIDE STRATEGY

TO PURSUE TRADE CORRIDOR

ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FUNDING.

SO IN THE LAST CYCLE IT WAS

REALLY A FREE FOR ALL ON WHO

SUBMIT, ON A BUNCH OF

DIFFERENT VARIOUS APPLICATIONS

ACROSS SACRAMENTO COUNTY WITH

NOT A LOT OF COORDINATION

HAPPENING.

BECAUSE IT REALLY JUST ISN'T ANY,

AND THERE ISN'T, THERE ISN'T ANY

REAL GOOD MEASURE A FUND.

SO SOLUTIONS FOR CONGESTED

CORRIDORS, THAT PROGRAM I WAS

TALKING ABOUT SMART GROWTH

ARTERIALS AND CORRIDORS PROGRAM,

IT ALIGNS REALLY WELL WITH

SOLUTIONS FOR CONGESTED

CORRIDORS BECAUSE WE CAN

CONTINUE TO GET THESE COMPLETE

STREET PROJECTS FUNDED OUT OF

THAT PROGRAM.

SO THERE IS A, I THINK EVEN IN

THE, THIS PLACER SACRAMENTO

GATEWAY SUBMITAL INCLUDED A

CITY OF, LIKE A BROADWAY COMPLETE

STREETS PROJECT I BELIEVE AS

AN EXAMPLE.

SO THAT ALIGNS REALLY WELL.

WE ADMINISTER THAT BUT THERE'S

NO FUNDING THAT COMES TO US

OBVIOUSLY FROM LOCAL

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM NOR IS

THERE, IT'S GOT A VERY BROAD

ELIGIBILITY AS WELL.

SO THERE ISN'T A REALLY GOOD

DISCRETIONARY MEASURE A FUNDING

SOURCE THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO

TO DO BOTH THE ADMINISTRATIVE

WORK, THE STRATEGY WORK, AND

THEN THE, I WOULD SAY THE

CAPITAL FUNDING WE HAVE TO KIND

OF WORK WITH THAT ALL REALLY

GOES TO THE CITIES AND THE

COUNTY AND THE AGENCIES WE

HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM ON THAT,

RIGHT?

OKAY.

I'M NOT SURE I HAVE FOLLOWED

YOU ENTERED, LET ME, BUT LET ME

TRY TO GO AT IT THE OTHER WAY

AROUND.

WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT HAVE

MEASURE A ALLOCATIONS FOR THEM,

BUT THEY, BUT THEY AREN'T

FULLY FUNDED.

SO WHAT I WAS REALLY TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT IS, IS WHETHER WHAT

YOU MEANT BY THIS SENTENCE WAS

THAT THERE WERE NO, THERE ARE

NO MEASURE A PROJECTS THAT, THAT

NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT

WOULD ALSO QUALIFY UNDER THE

LOCAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM,

OR THE CONGESTED CORRIDORS

PROGRAM.

AND I CAN'T, THAT DOESN'T SEEM

POSSIBLE TO ME.

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF

THAT, RIGHT?

SO WHEN I WAS IN SACRAMENTO

COUNTY, WE WANTED TO PURSUE

LOCAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM,

RIGHT?

AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE

SP1 COMPETITIVE FUNDING

ENVIRONMENT WAS GOING, WE

NEEDED TO ENSURE WE HAD

SOMETHING THAT WAS SOMEWHAT

VMT NEUTRAL, RIGHT?

SO WHAT I DID IS I SAID, HEY,

WHAT IS THE PROJECT THAT YOU

HAVE?

IT WAS THE US 50 HAZELAVAN

INTERCHANGE.

WE DID SOME THINGS TO THAT SO

IT WASN'T CAPACITY INCREASING.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT WE

PARTNERED WITH SACRT ON THEIR

COURT LINE MONITORIZATION.

SO THE COUNTY DID THAT, RIGHT?

AND THEN THEY BROUGHT THAT

PROJECT, BASICALLY THEY

BROUGHT THAT PROJECT FORWARD TO

STA TO PRIORITIZE.

I'M SAYING THAT WORK, THAT

MATCHMAKING WORK, THAT'S NOT

REALLY A, THERE'S NO GOOD

FUNDING SOURCE TO DO THAT

MATCHMAKING WORK TO COORDINATE

ALL THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT

THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS MOST

ASB1 PROGRAMS.

NOW EACH AGENCY CAN DO THAT

INDEPENDENTLY.

THAT WAS MY NO.

THEY CAN.

THEY'RE JUST, THEY'VE GOT A LOT

GOING ON.

YEAH.

AND THEY DON'T KNOW ALL, THEY

DON'T HAVE, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY

HAVE THE EXPERTISE OR THE

RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS ALL THE

ZERO.

SO YOU'RE REALLY SAYING THERE

AREN'T MULTIJURISDICTIONAL

PROJECTS THAT HAVE MEASURE A

MONEY IN THEM THAT COULD BE

BROUGHT TOGETHER TO FORMULATE

ONE APPLICATION, A SINGLE

APPLICATION FOR THESE TWO SB1

PROGRAMS.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE.

YES, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

SO IT'S JUST LEFT TO EACH OF

THE JURISDICTIONS INDIVIDUALLY

TO, OKAY.

IT'S NOT THAT THERE AREN'T

MEASURE A PROJECTS.

OH, NO, THERE ARE

MEASURE A PROJECTS.

IT'S JUST THEY HAVE TO FIGURE

IT OUT THEMSELVES.

AND SO, I THINK THAT'S

THEM.

OKAY.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE

TRYING TO, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

HERE.

YEAH.

I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

AND MAYBE THIS IS IN THE

STOCKTON BRT CATEGORY IN A WAY.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING FOR LONGER

THAN SOME OF THE PEOPLE I THINK

SITTING HERE ON THIS HAVE BEEN

ALIVE TO GET A THIRD MAINLINE

TRACK FOR THE CAPITOL CORRIDOR

TO USE BETWEEN HERE AND

ROSEVILLE.

THAT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING OF

THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CCJPA

STAFF IS REALLY STUCK BECAUSE

THEY CAN'T, THEY CAN'T, THE

FUNDING THEY HAD IS NOW NOT

ADEQUATE BECAUSE OF THE

INCREASE, THE PASSAGE OF TIME,

THE INCREASE IN COSTS.

MY QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT

THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY HERE

ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE

TO THE 80 CORRIDOR WHERE

THE COMPETITIONS OF THE

COMPETITIONS OF THE COMPETITION

TO DO THAT.

I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO

WORK WITH PLACER COUNTY TO

SOMEHOW ADVANCE THAT PROJECT.

BUT I GUESS YOU ARE STILL IN THE

PLANNING STAGES FOR THE

CORRIDOR STUDY WHEREAS THE

THIRD MAINLINE TRACK BASICALLY

JUST NEEDS MONEY TO GET BUILT.

THERE'S STILL A FEW ISSUES, BUT

THAT'S REALLY THE ISSUE.

I CAN SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE

BIT.

LAST YEAR THE BOARD TOOK ACTION

TO PARTNER WITH PCTBA TO

UPDATE THAT PLAN.

SO WE ARE PROVIDING A LITTLE

BIT OF LOCAL MATCH OUT OF THAT

SMART GROWTH MONEY WE WERE

TALKING ABOUT.

SO WE NEED TO UPDATE THAT PLAN.

THE PLAN IS ONLY A GOOD FOUR

YEARS.

IT'S EXPIRING.

WE GET THAT PLAN UPDATED AND

THEN WE CAN IMPLY OR THERE

CAN BE AN APPLICATION THAT

INCLUDES THAT PARTICULAR

THIRD TRACK PROJECT WHICH IS

RELONG THAT 80 CORRIDOR.

I WOULD SAY THAT PROJECT I

BELIEVE HAS BEEN FUNDED.

THEY HAVE GOTTEN FUNDING OUT

OF THAT PROGRAM BEFORE.

THE LAST CYCLE THEY GOT

FUNDING.

SO THERE IS SOME CHALLENGES

WITH GETTING GRANTS FUNDS FROM

THE SAME PROGRAM AGAIN AFTER

YOU'VE ALREADY COMMITTED TO

DELIVERING THAT PROJECT.

SO THAT COULD BE A CHALLENGE.

THERE MAY BE APPLICABILITY

UNDER THE TRADE CORRIDOR

ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, RIGHT,

BECAUSE THERE'S BOTH FREIGHT AND

THE TRADE CORRIDOR AND

PASSENGER RAIL ON THAT LINE.

SO DOES THAT THIRD TRACK PROJECT

PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY TO

RELIEVE SOME OF THE PASSENGER

RAIL SERVICE THAT'S ON THE

FREIGHT RIGHT THERE.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THAT

TO HAPPEN.

I THINK THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN

TURSIB FUNDING AS OPPOSED TO

THEY DID NOT GET GETTING

FUNDING.

I THINK THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN

TURSIB FUNDING AS OPPOSED TO

THEY DID NOT GET, I DON'T

THINK THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN

FUNDING AS OPPOSED TO, I

DON'T THINK THEY DID NOT

THINK THEY GOT CONGESTED

CORRIDORS MONEY.

THEY MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN

TRADE CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT

MONEY BUT I'M NOT SURE.

I THINK IT WAS TURSIB MONEY

THAT THEY GOT.

BUT NONETHELESS, WHATEVER

THE ANSWER TO THAT, THAT

LITTLE RIDDLE IS, I'M OF THE

SAME MINDSET AS MY COLLEAGUES

HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THE

STOCKTON BASIS.

I'M OF THE SAME MIND SET

AS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SPOKEN

ABOUT THE STOCKTON BASIS

PROJECT AND HOW IT NEEDS TO

GET DONE.

IT'S BEEN AROUND TOO LONG.

THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

ABOUT THAT.

IT HAS ENORMOUS BENEFITS

THAT COULD BE REALIZED.

SO COULD THE THIRD MAIN

LINE TRACK, I THINK BOTH FOR

PASSENGER AS WELL AS FREIGHT

MOVEMENT.

AND SO I JUST WOULD APPRECIATE

IT IF WE CAN, IF THERE'S ANY

AVENUE HERE TO EXPLORE FOR

PUTTING TOGETHER AN APPLICATION

WITH THE CCGPA AND THEN I

WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S GOOD DIRECTION.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

VICE CHAIR RATHEL.

THANK YOU CHAIR.

MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU,

BUT WHAT I HEARD WAS THAT THE

CORRIDOR PLANS THAT ARE IN

PROCESS AT THE THREE DIFFERENT

AGENCIES, YOU KIND OF

INDICATED WE WOULD PICK ONE OF

THOSE.

AND ALL THREE OF THESE ARE GOING

FORWARD.

WE'RE JUST PLANNING TO GO

TO GO TO THE COURRIDOR

PLANS.

AND THEN I WOULD GO TO GO TO

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO GO TO GO TO

THE COURRIDOR PLANS.

WE'RE JUST PLAYING A ROLE IN

MAKING SURE MEASURE A PROJECTS

ARE INCLUDED IN ALL THOSE

PLANS.

OR DID YOU MEAN WE COULD

ONLY PRIORITIZE ONE OF THESE

CORRIDOR PLANS?

I THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE

SENSE FOR US TO ALL TRY TO

RALLY AROUND ONE CORRIDOR.

DOES THAT MEAN WE TAKE TURNS?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THERE ARE DIFFERENT

CHALLENGES THERE.

SO THE 80 CORRIDOR HAS BEEN

FUNDED OUT OF MULTIPLE

CYCLES.

THEY'VE DONE REALLY WELL.

US 50 THEY GOT MONEY OUT OF

THE FIRST CYCLE BUT THEY

HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY MONEY OUT

OF THE LAST FEW CYCLE BECAUSE

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ELIGIBLE

BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A

PLANNING DOCUMENT.

SO MAYBE THAT MAKES MORE

SENSE.

THAT EFFORITIZE THAT

EFFORT BEING LED BY SACOG.

AND THEN ON 99 THAT'S AN

EFFORT LED BY CALTRANS BUT

IT'S LIKE SEVEN COUNTIES.

SO LIKE THE IDEA OF TRYING TO

GET AS AN EXAMPLE STOCKTON

BOULEVARD INCLUDED IN LIKE A

SEVEN COUNTY PROJECT TO GET

ANYTHING MEASURABLE OUT OF

THAT MIGHT BE CHALLENGING.

SO I THINK SCA'S ROLE IS TO

ADVOCATE AND TO TRY TO

ADVOCATE FOR WHERE WE THINK

WE CAN BE THE MOST

COMPETITIVE ACROSS THOSE

VARIOUS CORRIDORS.

AND UNDERSTANDING YOU CAN DO

THE PLANNING AND THEN YOU

HAVE THE PROJECTS READY TO

RECEIVE THE FUNDS.

SO THERE'S A READINESS

COMPONENT TO THAT.

SO SDA'S ROLE CAN BE

ADVOCATING TO MAKE SURE WE GET

THE BEST PROJECT MOVED

FORWARD AND WORKING WITH

SACOG ON PRIORITIZATION.

THAT'S GENERALLY THE KIND OF

THING AND IF THERE'S MEASURE A

FUNDS INVOLVED IT'S EVEN

BETTER AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

THANK YOU.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR OUR

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR?

OKAY.

SEEING NONE.

MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANYONE

TO HAVE ANYONE TO HAVE ANYONE

FROM THE PUBLIC SIGNED UP TO

SPEAK ON THIS MATTER?

WE DO NOT.

OKAY.

VERY GOOD.

NEXT ITEM PLEASE.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS

OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S

REPORT.

I'M GOING TO GO QUICK.

SO WE HAVE JUST WANT TO

HIGHLIGHT THAT A LOT OF THE

BOARD MEMBERS HERE AS WELL

STAFF WENT TO CAP TO CAP.

A LOT OF YOU WERE INVOLVED

IN ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF

THE SACRAMENTO REGION FOR

OUR PRIORITIES APPRECIATE

EVERYONE WHO WENT THERE.

I WAS ON THE TRANSPORTATION

TEAM.

WE SPECIFICALLY ADVOCATED FOR A

NEW SURFACE TRANSPORTATION

BILL.

THE EXISTING BILL IS EXPIRING.

SO WE DEFINITELY WANT TO

CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE FEDERAL

FUNDS COME IN THROUGH BOTH

SACOG AND THROUGH SOME FEDERAL

DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS.

AND THEN AS WE TALKED ABOUT

PRIORITIZATION, THERE'S A

PRIORITIZATION EFFORT THAT

BOTH STA AND SACOG WERE

INVOLVED IN TO PRIORITIZE WHAT

WE'D ADVOCATE FOR CAP TO CAP.

SO WE ADVOCATED FOR THOSE

PROJECTS.

ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY IT'S AN

INTERESTING TIME IN WASHINGTON

RIGHT NOW.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE WORK, I JUST

WANTED TO PROVIDE A BIG UPDATE

ON THAT.

SO THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS ARE

KICKING OFF.

OUR FIRST MEETING IS ON THE NEW

TRANSPORTATION FUNDING

SUBCOMMITTEE IS MAY 14TH.

AND THEN WE HAVE A SORT OF

WHAT'S STA'S ROLE IN THE REGION

MEETING ON MAY 19TH.

JUST A REMINDER THAT'S

HAPPENING.

AND THEN FOR OUR MEETING IN

JUNE WE HAVE THE STA, WE HAVE

THE BUDGET, THE FINAL BUDGET.

AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM I WANTED

TO NOTE WAS WE HAVE THE, WE'RE

DOING A PRESENTATION ON VMT

UNDER SB 743 AND SEQUA.

SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE JUST AS

AN EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR

WITH THE YOLO 80 MANAGED LANE

PROJECT, THAT PROJECT WAS

REQUIRED TO PROVIDE $55 MILLION

IN FUNDING FOR VMT REDUCING

PROJECTS.

WHICH IS SOME OF THAT WENT TO

TRANSIT, SOME OF THAT WENT TO

ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A KIND OF

COUNTY WIDE, IS THERE A

COUNTY WIDE STRATEGY OF

CAPTURING THOSE FUNDS AS OUR

TOTAL LANE NETWORK BUILDS OUT

TO FUND OUR TRANSIT NEEDS AS

WELL AS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION

NEEDS ALONG THOSE CORRIDORS.

SO THIS IS PART OF THAT JUST

KIND OF UPDATE YOU ON WHAT'S

GOING ON WITH THAT.

IT'S A TECHNICAL SUBJECT.

WE'LL TRY NOT TO MAKE IT

TOO TECHNICAL BUT WE'RE ALSO

GOING TO, YOU KNOW, THE

PROFESSIONAL ADVISOR GROUP IS

GOING TO GO THROUGH THE SAME

THING AS WELL.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF

THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO

UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS SOMEHOW

FOR ADVANCING SOME OF OUR

PROJECTS.

AND THEN WE'LL BE IN RECEPT IN

JULY SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS AS

IT RELATES TO THE DIRECTOR'S

REPORT?

OKAY.

SEEING NONE, MADAM CLEAR, DO

WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE

PUBLIC SIGNED TO SPEAK ON THIS

MATTER?

WE DO NOT.

OKAY.

NEXT ITEM PLEASE.

FINAL ITEM ON THE AGENDA

TODAY IS COMMENTS AND REPORTS

FROM AUTHORITY MEMBERS AND OUR

CARTA UPDATE.

OKAY.

I KNOW THAT DIRECTOR

TALAMANTIS HAD TO LEAVE FOR

ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AND SHE

INFORMED ME BEFORE SHE DEPARTED

THAT THEY DID NOT MEET AND SO

THERE IS THEREFORE NOTHING TO

REPORT.

AND ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR

QUESTIONS FOR THE GOOD OF THE

ORDER FROM BOARD MEMBERS?

SEEING NONE.

MADAM CLEAR, WE HAVE NO ONE

SIGNED TO SPEAK ON ANY FURTHER

MATTER, RIGHT?

WE DO NOT.

ALL RIGHT.

THEN IF THERE'S NO FURTHER

BUSINESS BEFORE THIS AUTHORITY

BOARD, WE STAND A TURN.

WE STAND A TURN.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

Thank you.
