CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL
TITLE:
DRAFT TRANSNET EXTENSION ORDINANCE
AND EXPENDITURE PLAN 1 CITY ATTY.
CITY MGR. 3iE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report after City Council review and comment and provide appropriate direction.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Voters in the San Diego Region approved the TransNet program in 1987. The program, a half-cent
sales tax to fund a variety of local road, highway, and transit projects, will expire in 2008.
Through December 2003, TransNet funds allocated to Carlsbad have been in the amount of
$24,000,000 for use on the Carlsbad local roads program.
On November 2, 2004, voters will have the opportunity at the polls to extend the existing TransNet
program for 40 years until 2048. If approved by the voters in November, the ordinance commences
on April 1, 2008 and it will be known as the San Diego Transportation Improvement Program
Ordinance and Expenditure Plan.
At this time, the Ordinance has been distributed for public comment and subsequent action by the
SANDAG Board of Directors. The required first reading of the Ordinance by the SANDAG Board of
Directors is scheduled for May 14, 2004. The second reading of the Ordinance has been tentatively
scheduled for the May 28,2004 Board of Directors meeting. The Draft Ordinance and Expenditure
Plan contains 22 sections. Key aspects are summarized in the remaining portion of this report.
Countywide transportation facility and service improvements will take place on the following if the
November ballot measure is successful:
0 highways 0 bicycle and pedestrian facilities
0 rail transit services 0 transportation-related community
0 new bus rapid transit services
0 local bus services development
0 senior and disabled transportation services 0 related environmental mitigation and
0 local streets and roads enhancement projects
infrastructure to support smart growth
The Expenditure Plan Summary provides for a Congestion Relief Program in three major topic areas:
1. Major Transportation Corridor Improvements - $5.15 billion for 16 highway and 1 1 Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) capital projects
2. Transit System Service Improvements and Related Programs - $2.24 billion to support various
programs
3. Local System Improvements and Related Programs - $3.95 billion for local streets and roads
countywide
Funding will be allocated to Transportation Project Environmental Mitigation and it is estimated to
amount to $850 million for habitat-related environmental mitigation activities in the implementation of
the transportation improvements.

Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 17 627
The Bicycle, Pedestrian and Neighborhood Safety Program portion contained in the Ordinance
allocates 2% of the total annual revenues available (estimated at $280 million). The funds will be
provided for bikeway facilities and connectivity improvements, pedestrian and walkable community
projects, bicycle and pedestrian safety projects and programs, and traffic calming projects.
The funds will be allocated on a regional competitive grant basis.
If the TransNet Ordinance receives voter approval, there is a provision to fund administrative
expenses and also to establish an Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee. The Committee is
intended to provide an increased level of accountability for expenditures made under the TransNet
extension and it will serve as an independent resource to assist SANDAG's implementation of
projects and programs contained in the new Ordinance.
The Local Street and Road Program will receive 33% of the sales tax funds allocated and expended
pursuant to the following distribution formula:
0 $50,000 annual base sum for each local agency
0 remaining revenue distributed to each local agency on the following basis: - two-thirds based on total population - one-third based on maintained street and road mileage
0 1.8% for habitat-related mitigation of local transportation projects of projects identified in the
Ordinance
0 2.1 % for the Smart Growth Incentive Program (allocated on a regional competitive grant basis)
Carlsbad, and other local agencies, will be required to biennially develop a five-year list of projects to
be funded with the local street and road improvement revenues. Prior to submitting the list to
SANDAG, a public hearing before the City Council will be required.
The Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) portion of the Ordinance
will require each local agency to contribute $2,000 in exactions from the private sector for newly
constructed residential housing units to the RTCIP. An impact fee or other revenue funding program
must be established to collect and fund the Carlsbad contribution to the RTCIP. Revenues collected
from the RTCIP will be used to construct improvements on the Regional Arterial System (RAS) in
each city. In Carlsbad, the RAS consists of:

After each 1 0-year period during the 40-year life of the Ordinance, a comprehensive program review
will be conducted to evaluate the performance of the Ordinance and Expenditure Plan over the
previous IO-year period. This review will be conducted in 2019, 2029, and 2039. Revisions to the
Ordinance and Expenditure Plan may result from the 1 0-year review.
The Ordinance will be operative on November 3, 2004 if two-thirds or more of the electors voting on
the ballot proposition vote to approve the ballot proposition on November 2, 2004. The extension of
the current sales tax authorized by the Ordinance will then be effective April 1, 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the TransNet Extension Ordinance and Expenditure Plan will extend the current
one-half cent sales tax for an additional 40 years beginning in 2008. Carlsbad currently receives
about $2.2 million annually from the TransNet sales tax revenue. A significant portion of this amount
is used for the annual street overlay and slurry seal projects. The remaining funds are used for road
construction projects. Should the TransNet ballot measure fail in the November 2, 2004 election,
Carlsbad would lose the annual TransNet allocation and expected future yearly increases in that
amount over the 40-year life of the extension.

capital improvements.
. C. Congestion Relief Program - Local System Improvements and Related Programs:
An estimated total of $4,480 million will be allocated to local programs in the following three
categories:
1. Local Street and Road Proaram: An estimated $3,950 million will be allocated on a fair
and equitable basis, using the formula specified in Section 4(D)(1), to each city and the
County of San Diego (hereinafter referred to as local agencies) to supplement other
revenues available for local street and road improvements. In developing the biennial
list of projects to be funded with these revenues as required under Section 5(A), local
agencies shall give high priority in the use of these funds to improvements to regional
arterials, grade separation projects, and related facilities contributing to congestion
relief. At least 70% of the revenues provided for local street and road purposes should
be used to fund direct expenditures for construction of new or expanded facilities,
major rehabilitation and reconstruction of roadways, traffic signal coordination and
related traffic operations improvements, transportation-related community
infrastructure improvements to .support smart growth development, capital
improvements needed to facilitate transit services and facilities, and operating support
5
for local shuttle and circulator routes and other services. No more than 30% of these
funds should be used for local street and road maintenance purposes. A local agency
desiring to spend more than 30% of its annual revenues on local street and road
maintenance-related projects shall provide justification to the Commission as part of its
biennial project list submittal. The Commission shall review each local agency's biennial
project list submittal and make a finding of consistency with the provisions of this
Ordinance and with the Regional Transportation Plan prior to approving the local
agency's project list for funding. The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee shall
also review the proposed project lists and make recommendations to the Commission.
2. Environmental Mitigation: An estimated $250 million, including $200 million for direct
mitigation costs and $50 million for economic benefit, will be used to fund the habitat-
related mitigation costs of local transportation projects consistent with the Regional
Transportation Plan as part of the Environmental Mitigation Program described in
Section 2(D).
3. Smart Growth Incentive Proaram: An estimated $280 million will be allocated to the
Smart Growth Incentive Program to provide funding for a broad array of
transportation-related infrastructure improvements that will assist local agencies in
better integrating transportation and land use, such as enhancements to streets and
public places, funding of infrastructure needed to support development in smart
growth opportunity areas consistent with the Regional Comprehensive Plan, and
community planning efforts related to smart growth and improved land
useltransportation coordination. These funds shall be allocated on a regional
competitive grant basis. It is intended that these funds be used to match federal, state,
local, and private funding to maximize the number of improvements to be
implemented. The Commission shall establish specific project eligibility criteria for this
program.
D. Transportation Project Environmental Mitigation:
An estimated $850 million will be used to fund habitat-related environmental mitigation
activities required in the implementation of the major highway, transit and regional arterial
and local street and road improvements identified in the Regional Transportation Plan. Of
this total, an estimated $250 million is related to mitigation requirements for local
transportation projects and an estimated $600 million is related to mitigation requirements
for the major highway and transit projects identified in the Regional Transportation Plan. The
intent is to establish a program to provide for large-scale acquisition and management of
critical habitat areas and to create a reliable approach for funding required mitigation for
future transportation improvements thereby reducing future costs and accelerating project
delivery. This approach would be implemented by obtaining coverage for transportation
projects through existing and proposed multiple species conservation plans. If this approach
cannot be fully implemented, then these funds shall be used for environmental mitigation
purposes on a project by project basis. Additional detail regarding this program is described
in the document titled "TransNet Extension Environmental Mitigation Program Principles",
which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

E. Bicycle, Pedestrian and Neighborhood Safety Program:
A total of two percent of the total annual revenues available (an estimated $280 million) will
be allocated to the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Neighborhood Safety Program to provide funding
for bikeway facilities and connectivity improvements, pedestrian and walkable community
projects, bicycle and pedestrian safety projects and programs, and traffic calming projects.
These funds shall be allocated on a regional competitive grant basis. It is intended that these
funds be used to match federal, state, local, and private funding to maximize the number of
improvements to be implemented. The Commission shall establish specific project eligibility
criteria for this program.
F. Administration and Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee:
Up to one percent of the total annual revenues available will be used for administrative
expenses and up to $250,000 per year will be used for the operation of an Independent
Taxpayer Oversight Committee.
SECTION 3. IMPOSITION OF TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX: In addition to any other taxes authorized

operations and supporting capital improvements. The revenues shall be allocated
through the annual transit operator budget process and the improvements to be
funded shall be consistent with the Short Range Transit Plan.
5. To maintain eligibility for the receipt of funds under Section 4(C), a transit operator
must limit the increase in its total operating cost per revenue vehicle hour for bus
services or the increase in its total operating cost per revenue vehicle mile for rail
services from one fiscal year to the next to no more than the increase in the Consumer
Price Index for San Diego County over the same period. If the requirement is not
achieved, the operator may not receive any additional funding under Section 4(C) in
the following year above the amount received in the previous fiscal year adjusted for
any increase in the Consumer Price Index for San Diego County. If there were unusual
circumstances in a given fiscal year, the operator may request the approval of the
Commission to calculate the requirement as an average over the previous three fiscal
years. The operator may also request the approval of the Commission to exclude from
the calculation certain cost increases that were due to external events entirely beyond
the operator's control, including, but not limited to, increases in the costs for fuel,
insurance premiums, or new state or federal mandates.

each 10-year comprehensive program review as described in Section 17. .All proposed
exchanges, including agreements between agencies to exchange or loan funds, must include
detailed fund repayment provisions, including appropriate interest earnings such that the
Commission suffers no loss of funds as a result of the exchange or loan. All exchanges must be
approved by the Commission and shall be consistent with any and all rules approved by the
Commission relating thereto.
B. The Commission may exchange revenues for federal, state, or other local funds allocated or
granted to any public agency within or outside the area of jurisdiction of the Commission to
maximize effectiveness in the use of revenues. Such federal, state, or local funds shall be
distributed in the same manner as the revenues from the measure.
SECTION 8. MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT: It is the intent of the Legislature, as stated in the Act, and
the Commission that revenues provided from this measure be used to augment, not supplant
existing local revenues being used for the purposes set forth in Section 4 herein. Each local agency
receiving revenues pursuant to Section 4(D) shall annually maintain as a minimum the same level of
local discretionary funds expended for street and road purposes on average over the last three fiscal
years completed prior to the operative date of this Ordinance (Fiscal Years 2000-01, 2001-02, 2002-
03), as was reported in the State Controller's Annual Report of Financial Transactions for Streets and
Roads and as verified by an independent auditor. The maintenance of effort level as determined
through this process shall be subject to adjustment every three years based on the Construction Cost
Index developed by Caltrans. Any increase in the maintenance of effort level based on this
adjustment shall not exceed the growth rate in the local jurisdiction's General Fund revenues over
the same time period. The Commission shall not allocate any revenues pursuant to Section 4(D) to
any eligible local agency in any fiscal year until that local agency has certified to the Commission
that it will include in its budget for that fiscal year an amount of local discretionary funding for
streets and roads purposes at least equal to the minimum maintenance of effort requirement. An
annual independent audit shall be conducted to verify that the maintenance of effort requirement
for each agency was met. Any local agency which does not meet its maintenance of effort
requirement in any given year shall have its funding under Section 4(D)(1) reduced in the following
year by the amount by which the agency did not meet its required maintenance of effort level. In
the event that special circumstances prevent a local agency from meeting its maintenance of effort
requirement, the local agency may request up to three additional fiscal years to fulfill its
requirement. Such a request must be approved by the Commission. The Independent Taxpayer
Oversight Committee shall also review such requests and make recommendations to the
Commission. Any local street and road revenues not allocated pursuant to the maintenance of
effort requirement shall be redistributed to the remaining eligible agencies according to the
formula described in Section 4(D)(1). The maintenance of effort requirement also shall apply to any
local agency discretionary funds being used for the other purposes specified under Section 4. In
addition, revenues provided from this Ordinance shall not be used to replace other private
developer funding that has been or will be committed for any project.
11
SECTION 9. REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (RTCIP):
A. New Development Exactions
Starting on July 1, 2008, each local agency in the San Diego region shall contribute $2,000 in
exactions from the private sector, for each newly constructed residential housing unit 'in that
jurisdiction to the RTCIP. These exactions shall ensure future development contributes its
proportional share of the funding needed to pay for the Regional Arterial System and related
regional transportation facility improvements, as defined in San Diego Association of Governments'
(SANDAG's) most recent, adopted Regional Transportation Plan. New residential housing units
constructed for extremely low, very-low, low, and moderate income households, as defined in
California Health and Safety Code Sections 50105,50106, 50079.5 and 50093, will be exempted from
the $2,000 per unit contribution requirement. The amount of contribution shall be increased
annually, in an amount not to exceed the percentage increase set forth in the Engineering
Construction Cost Index published by the Engineering News Record or similar cost of construction
index. Each local agency shall establish an impact fee or other-revenue Funding Program by which
it collects and funds its contribution to the RTCIP. Each local agency shall be responsible for
establishing a procedure for providing its monetary contribution to the RTCIP. The RTCIP revenue
will be used to construct improvements on the Regional Arterial System such as new or widened
arterials, traffic signal coordination and other traffic improvements, freeway interchange and
related freeway improvements, railroad grade separations, and improvements required for regional
express bus and rail transit. This action is predicated on the desire to establish a uniform mitigation
program that will mitigate the regional transportation impacts of new development on the Arterial
system. While the RTCIP cannot and should not fund all necessary regional transportation network
components and improvements, the RTCIP will establish a new revenue source that ensures future
development will contribute its pro rata share towards addressing the impacts of new growth on
regional transportation infrastructure.
B. Oversight, Audit and Funding Allocations
The Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) shall be overseen by
SANDAG and implemented by each local agency, with the objective of developing a consolidated
mitigation program for the San Diego region as a funding source for the Regional Arterial System.
The RTCIP and each local agency's Funding Program shall be subject to an annual review and audit
to be carried out by the SANDAG and the Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee, as defined
in Section 11 of this Ordinance. Any local agency that does not provide its full monetary
contribution required by Section 9(A) in a given fiscal year will not be eligible to receive funding for
local streets and roads under section 4(D)(1) of the TransNet Ordinance for the immediately
following fiscal year. Any funding not allocated under 4(D)(1) as a result of this requirement shall
be reallocated to the remaining local agencies that are in compliance with this Section.
C. Implementation of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTCIP)
Provisions for implementation of the RTCIP are described in the document titled "TransNet
Extension Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program," which is hereby
incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 10. BONDING AUTHORITY: Upon voter approval of the ballot proposition to approve the
extension of the tax and the issuance of bonds payable from the proceeds of the tax, bonds may be
issued by the Commission pursuant to Division 12.7 of the Public Utilities Code, at any time, and
from time to time, payable from the proceeds of the existing tax and its extension and secured by a
pledge of revenues from the proceeds of the tax, in order to finance and refinance improvements
authorized by Ordinance 87-1 and this Ordinance. The Commission, in allocating the annual
revenues from the measure, shall meet all debt service requirements prior to allocating funds for
other projects.
SECTION 11. INDEPENDENT TAXPAYER OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE: An Independent Taxpayer
Oversight Committee (ITOC) shall be established to provide an enhanced level of accountability for
expenditure made under the Expenditure Plan. The ITOC will help to ensure that all voter mandates
are carried out as required and will develop recommendations for improvements to the financial
integrity and performance of the program. The roles and responsibilities of the ITOC, the selection
process for ITOC members, and related administrative procedures shall be carried out in
substantially the same manner as further described in the document titled "Statement of
Understanding Regarding the Implementation of the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee
for the TransNet Program," which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Up
to $250,000 per year, with adjustments for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index for San
Diego County, may be expended for activities related to the ITOC.
SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Revenues may be expended by the Commission for staff
salaries, wages, benefits, and overhead and for those services, including contractual services,
necessary to administer the Act; however, in no case shall such expenditures exceed one percent of
the annual revenues provided by the measure. Any funds not utilized in a given fiscal year shall
remain available for expenditure in subsequent fiscal years. Costs of performing or contracting for
project related work shall be paid from the revenues allocated to the appropriate purpose as set
forth in Section 4 herein. An annual independent audit shall be conducted through the
Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee to assure that the revenues expended by the
Commission under this section are necessary and reasonable in carrying out its responsibilities under
the Act.
SECTION 13. ESTABLISHMENT OF SEPARATE ACCOUNTS: Each agency receiving funds pursuant to
Section 4 shall have its funds deposited in a separate Transportation Improvement Account. Interest
earned on funds allocated pursuant to this Ordinance shall be expended only for those purposes for
which the funds were allocated.
SECTION 14. IMPLEMENTING ORDINANCES: Upon approval of this measure by the voters, the
Commission shall, in addition to the local rules required to be provided pursuant to this ordinance,
adopt implementing ordinances, rules, and policies and take such other actions as may be necessary
and appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

the commission concurring consistent with the Commission’s standard voting mechanism. Separate
documents incorporated by reference in the Ordinance in Sections 2, 9, and 11 also may be
amended with a two-thirds vote of the Commission.
SECTION 17. TEN-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM REVIEW: The Commission shall conduct a
comprehensive review of all projects and programs implemented under the Expenditure Plan to
evaluate the performance of the overall program over the previous ten years and to make revisions

Attachment 2
TRANSNET €XT€NS/ON ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION PROGRAM (EMP)
DRAFT PRINCIPLES
Revised: 4/9/04
1. The TransNet Extension Expenditure Plan shall include a funding allocation category
entitled "Transportation Project Environmental Mitigation Program."
2. The Environmental Mitigation Program shall include an allocation for the estimated direct
costs for mitigation of upland and wetland habitat impacts for regional transportation
projects included in the proposed TransNet Expenditure Plan, as well as for regional projects
which are included in the adopted 2030 Regional Transportation Plan Mobility Network
The "mitigation costs," including land acquisition, restoration, management, and
monitoring, for these regional projects are estimated at approximately $450 million. Funds
for direct mitigation, management and monitoring of these projects shall be placed into a
"Transportation Project Mitigation Fund," where they can be used as partial funding for
regional habitat management and monitoring activities related to implementation of the
Multiple Species Conservation Plan, North County Multiple Habitat Conservation Plan, and
future amendments thereto.
3. The Environmental Mitigation Program shall also include an allocation for the estimated
direct costs for mitigation of upland and wetland habitat impacts for local transportation
projects, in a total amount not to exceed $200 million. Funds for direct mitigation of these
projects shall also be placed in the "Transportation Project Mitigation Fund" outlined in
Section 2 above.
. 4. The Environmental Mitigation Program shall also include a funding allocation for the
estimated economic benefits of incorporating specified regional and local transportation
projects into applicable habitat conservation plans, thereby allowing mitigation
requirements for covered species to be fixed, and allowing mitigation requirements to be
met through purchase of land in advance of need in larger blocks at a lower cost. The
benefits of this approach are estimated at approximately $200 million ($150 million for
regional projects and $50 million for local projects). This amount will be allocated to a
"Regional Habitat Conservation Fund," which will be made available for regional habitat
acquisition, management and monitoring activities necessary to implement the regional
habitat conservation plans described in Section 2 above. Therefore, the total funding
allocation for the Environmental Mitigation Program shall be set at $850 million.
5. SANDAG shall work with the Wildlife Agencies (California Department of Fish and Game
and the US Fish and Wildlife Service) and permit holders under the existing regional habitat
conservation plans to establish a regional entity that will be responsible for the allocation of
funding included in the "Regional Habitat Conservation Fund" in accordance with the goals
and policies of said plans. In addition, this entity will provide recommendations regarding
the structure and content of future funding measures as described in Section 10 below.
6. Land acquisitions, and management and monitoring activities, that result from the
implementation of this program shall receive credit toward the "regional funding
obligations," if any, under the applicable habitat conservation plans, with the exception
that land acquisitions in the Multiple Species Conservation Program planning area (as
designated and permitted as of April 9,2004) shall not count toward the regional funding
35 36
7.
obligation for land acquisition (currently estimated at 10,267 acres) established for that
program.
In order to provide the economic benefits of the proposed EMP, the participating local
jurisdictions shall apply for, and the Wildlife Agencies shall process, any necessary
amendments to the previously adopted Multiple Species Conservation Plan and related
agreements and permits, to include RTP transportation projects as "covered projects"'under
this plan pursuant to the standards in effect at that time for the remaining life of those
plans. For projects in the planning areas of the North County Multiple Habitat. Conservation
Plan and proposed Multiple Species Conservation Program for unincorporated North
County, the participating local jurisdictions shall include RIP projects in their proposed plans
and implementing agreements, and the wildlife agencies will process those plans and
agreements so as to provide coverage for RTP projects for the life of those plans.
8. The expenditure of funds included in this allocation category shall be phased over time in
order to allow goals of regional habitat acquisition, management and monitoring to be
met, while also meeting the requirements for individual transportation projects. The
timeframe by which the phasing will be done will allow for the early acquisition of land
within the first 10 years of the permits and/or amended permits with corresponding funds
available for management and monitoring. In addition, mitigation land for projects in the
planning area covered in the proposed MSCP plan for unincorporated North County shall be
purchased within the multiple habitat planning area designated for that plan, while
mitigation for projects in the adopted MSCP and MHCP planning areas shall be purchased
within the multiple habitat planning areas designated for those plans, unless otherwise
approved by SANDAG, the Wildlife Agencies, and affected permit holders. As transportation
projects are completed, if it is determined that the actual direct costs for mitigation of
upland and wetland habitat impacts are less than those which were estimated in Section 2
above, those cost savings shall be transferred to the "Regional Habitat Conservation Fund"
described in Section 4 above.
9. In addition to the direct economic benefits associated with inclusion of these projects in the
applicable habitat conservation plans, SANDAG and the Wildlife Agencies both recognize
the value of expedited processing of environmental documents for individual transportation
projects by all involved Federal, State, and regional agencies. Therefore, SANDAG and the
Wildlife Agencies shall actively support efforts to accomplish complete review of
environmental documents within reduced timeframes. To the extent that the processing
time required for such documents is reduced, the value of expedited processing shall be
allocated equally between transportation-related expenditures and the "Regional Habitat
Conservation Fund'. SANDAG and the Wildlife Agencies will develop guidelines for
implementing this principle within one year of the passage of the TransNet extension.
10. SANDAG agrees to act on additional regional funding measures (a ballot measure and/or
other secure funding commitments) to meet the long-term requirements for implementing
habitat conservation plans in the San Diego region, within the timeframe necessary to allow
a ballot measure to be considered by the voters no later than four years after passage of the
TransNet Extension. In the event that such future funding measures generate funding to
fully meet regional habitat acquisition and management requirements, SANDAG is
authorized to reallocate excess funds included in the "Regional Habitat Conservation Fund"
to local transportation projects.
36 39
11. In the event that SANDAG and its member agencies are not able to obtain coverage for
transportation projects in applicable habitat conservation plans in accordance with the
principles set forth above, the funding allocations set forth in this program shall be made
available to meet habitat mitigation requirements of transportation projects, either through
an alternative program that is acceptable to SANDAG, its member agencies, and the Wildlife
Agencies, or through environmental review and permitting of individual projects under
existing regulatory procedures.

TransNet Expenditure Plan:
Environmental Enhancement Criteria Mitigating Highway 67, 76,
and 94 Expansion Impacts
Segments of Highways SR 67, SR 76 and SR 94 are proposed for expansion from two to four lanes
through funding identified in the TransNet Expenditure Plan. The proposed expansions will have
substantial direct and indirect impacts to plant and animal species and to the regional wildlife
movement corridors bisected by the roads. These corridors are essential "infrastructure" for our
region's nationally-recognized habitat preservation plans.
Very highlevels of road kill are a significant existing condition on all of these highway segments,
which could be exacerbated by the increased traffic along the expanded highways should they
be widened. Direct and indirect impacts to sensitive plant and animal populations, and to the
function of the wildlife corridors, should be mitigated in order to produce an on-site "net-
benefit" to species and to the movement of wildlife along these wildlife corridors.
In order to accomplish this objective, it is necessary that the adopted TransNet Expenditure Plan
include policy language and directives that insures the."net benefit" mitigation standard is met.
This will require a comprehensive baseline analysis of existing and future conditions, adoption of
measures to mitigate direct and indirect impacts to species, adoption of measures to
accommodate species-specific wildlife movement through the corridors, and implementation of
capital project designs that can reduce impacts.
Biological analysis and recommendations need to be consistent with MSCP and MHCP goals and
objectives, data, and protocols. Analysis will commence at the time of, or prior to, TransNet
funding availability .
Key road segments:

> SR76, Melrose to 1-15
> SR94, Jamacha Road to Steele Canyon Road

TransNet €xTENsON REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
CONGESTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Providing new transportation services and facilities is an expensive undertaking. Not providing
them, however, will result in a decreased quality of life due to significant increases in traffic
congestion, degrading mobility throughout the San Diego region. As SANDAG’s Regional
Transportation Plan explains, our challenge is especially critical for the Regional Arterral System,
which is forecast to carry an increasingly significant amount of traffic volume. The SANDAG Board
recognizes the need to establish a new Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program
that ensures future development will contribute its share toward funding and mitigating new
traffic impacts on the Regional Arterial System.
A. Funding Program
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Section 9 of the TransNet Ordinance requires that local jurisdictions establish a program
or mechanism that provides $2,000 per new residential unit for the purpose of funding
the Regional Arterial System, including SR75. For purposes of the RTCIP, the Regional
Arterial System is defined in SANDAG‘s most recent and adopted Regional
Transportation Plan. Each jurisdiction’s program or mechanism shall be known as a
“Funding Program.” Local jurisdictions may choose to implement a Funding Program
through a development impact fee program or other exactions from the private sector.
In the event a jurisdiction(s) chooses to establish a development impact fee program to
meet its Funding Program requirements, said program shall be consistent with
Government Code Section 66000 et seq.
SANDAG will be responsible for producing the required nexus study to satisfy the
requirements of California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. for Funding
Programs utilizing a development impact fee. The first draft of the regional nexus
study shall be presented to the SANDAG Board within nine months of the successful
reauthorization of TransNet.
In no case will non-residential development be subject to a development impact fee to
meet the requirements of Section 9 of the TransNet Ordinance.
Each jurisdiction’s Funding Program shall be reviewed by the Independent Taxpayer
Oversight Committee referred to in Section 11 of the TransNet Ordinance prior to April
1, 2008, approved by Regional Transportation Commission by June 1, 2008 and shall
become operative on July 1, 2008.
B. Purpose
1. The purpose of each jurisdiction’s Funding Program is to provide additional revenue to
fund those facility and service improvements on the Regional Arterial System
necessitated by development of newly constructed residences.
39
C.
D.
E.
Fee Adjustment
1. The fee amount per residential unit shall be adjusted by SANDAG on July 1 of each year
based upon the Engineering Construction Cost Index as published by the Engineering
News Record or similar cost of construction index.
2. Any increase shall not exceed the percentage increase set forth in the construction
index. In no event, however, shall the increase be less than two percent per year. The
purpose of this annual adjustment is to retain purchasing power in anticipation of
future inflation.
Expenditure of Funding Program Revenues
1. Revenues collected under Section 9 of the TransNet Ordinance shall be deposited into
each jurisdiction's Funding Program for use on the Regional Arterial System as defined
in this Section.
2. Revenue collected through the Funding Programs shall be used to construct
transportation improvements such as new arterial roadway lanes, turning lanes,
reconfigured freeway-arterial interchanges, railroad grade separations and new
regional express bus services, or similar types of improvements, preliminary and final
engineering, right of way acquisition, and construction that will be needed to
accommodate future travel demand generated by new development throughout the
San Diego region. A reasonable portion of the program revenue may be used for fund
ad m in istration.
3. Expenditure of the Funding Program revenues shall be in a manner consistent with the
expenditure priorities in SANDAG's most recent and adopted long-range Regional
Transportation Plan and with Section 5 of the TransNet Ordinance. To maximize the
effective use of these Funding Program revenues, they may be transferred or
exchanged in accordance with the intent of Section 7 of the TransNet Ordinance.
Exemptions
The following development types shall be exempt from the Funding Program requirements:
1. New moderate, low, very low, and extremely low income residential units as defined in
Health 81 Safety Code sections 50079.5, 50093, 50105, 50106, and by reference in
Government Code section 65585.1.
Governmentlpublic buildings, public schools and public facilities.
The rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of any legal, residential structure and/or the
replacement of a previously existing dwelling unit.
All new, rehabilitated, and/or reconstructed non-residential structures.

5. Development Projects which are the subject of a Public Facilities Development
Agreements (pursuant to appropriate Government Code Sections) prior to the effective
date of this ordinance, wherein the imposition of new fees are expressly prohibited,
provided, however that, if the term of such a Development Agreement is extended
after the effective date of this Ordinance, the requirements of this funding program
shall be imposed.
6. Guest Dwellings
7. Additional residential units located on the same parcel regulated by the provisions of
any agricultural zoning.
8. Kennels and Catteries established in conjunction with an existing residential unit.
9. The sanctuary building of a church, mosque, synagogue, or other house of worship,
eligible for property tax exemption.
10. Residential units that have been issued a building permit prior to July 1, 2008.
11. Condominium conversions
F. Credits
1. If a developer funds or constructs improvements on the Regional Arterial System and/or
as that arise out of SANDAG's Congestion Management Program, the developer shall
receive credit for the costs associated with the arterial improvements, offsetting the
revenue requirements of the Funding Program. Such credits shall only apply to the
Funding Program for the jurisdiction in which the residential unit was developed.
2. In special circumstances, when a developer constructs off-site improvements such as an
interchange, bridge, or railroad grade separation, credits shall be determined by the
local jurisdiction in consultation with the developer.
3. The amount of the credit shall not exceed the revenue requirements of the most
current Funding Program or actual cost, whichever is less.
4. The local jurisdictions shall compare facilities in their Funding Program, against the
Regional Arterial System and eliminate any overlap in its Funding Program except
where there is a legally recognized benefit district established.
5. If there is a legally recognized benefit district established, the local agency may credit
that portion of the facility identified in both programs against its Funding Program.
G. Procedures for the Levy, Collection and Disposition of Funding Program Revenues
1. Each jurisdiction shall establish and implement a procedure to levy and collect its
required contribution to the RTCIP in its Funding Program document.
41
2. Each jurisdiction shall determine its own schedule for collecting and/or contributing
private sector exactions to its Funding Program. This schedule shall be kept up-to-date
and provided to SANDAG and the Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee each
year at the time of the annual review and audit. Each jurisdiction must submit its
Funding Program documents, including an expenditure plan and financial records
pertaining to its Funding Program, to the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee
for a review and audit by July 1 of each year beginning July 1, 2009. The Taxpayer
Independent Oversight Committee shall review each jurisdiction’s Funding Program
consistent with its auditing role as described in Section 11 and the’statement of
Understanding referenced in that Section.
3. Funding Program revenue requirements shall not be waived.
4. Each jurisdiction shall have up to but no more than seven fiscal years to expend
Funding Program revenues on the Regional Arterial Systems projects. The seven year
term shall commence on the first day of July following the jurisdiction’s receipt of the
revenue. At the time of the review and audit by the Independent Taxpayer Oversight
committee, each jurisdiction collecting a development impact fee to meet the
requirements of its Funding Program shall provide the Committee with written findings
for any expended, unexpended and uncommitted fees in their Program Fund and
demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it
was charged, consistent with the requirements of Government Code Section 66000 et
seq. Unless a planned need for such fees can be demonstrated and a justification for
the delay can be provided that is acceptable to the Taxpayer Independent Oversight
Committee, the unexpended or uncommitted portion of the Funding Program revenues
shall be transferred to the Regional Transportation Commission (SANDAG) to be
expended within three years on qualified projects within the same subregion.
Contributions to the Funding Program not committed or expended by the tenth
anniversary date of the July 1 following collection shall be refunded to the current
record owner of the development project on a prorated basis. In no case will a refund
be more than was initially contributed to the Funding Program.
5. The Independent Taxpayers Oversight committee identified in Section 11 of the
TransNet Ordinance shall be responsible for issuing an annual audit statement on each
jurisdiction‘s compliance with requirements of Section 9 of the TransNet Ordinance by
October 1 of each year beginning October 1, 2009. SANDAG will report to the Board on
the RTCIP and the annual audit statement in November of each year beginning in
November 2009.

DRAFT
STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
INDEPENDENT TAXPAYER OVERSIGHT COMMllTEE
FOR THE TRANSNET PROGRAM
Purpose of the ITOC
The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) is intended to provide an increased level of
accountability for expenditures made under the TransNet Extension, in addition to the independent
annual fiscal and compliance audits required under the existing TransNet program. The ITOC should
function in an independent, open and transparent manner to ensure that all voter mandates are
carried out as required in the Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, and to develop positive, constructive
recommendations for improvements and enhancements to the financial integrity and performance
of the TransNet program.
Intent of the ITOC as a Functional Partner to SANDAG
The TransNet Ordinance contains a summary of the ITOC's role and responsibilities consistent with
the above Purpose. In this document, additional and supplementary details with regard to the ITOC
are delineated. These pertain to the process for selecting members of ITOC, terms and conditions
governing membership, responsibilities, funding and administration, and conflict of interest
provisions.
It is noteworthy that these details have been developed in a cooperative process between SANDAG
and representatives of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, and with the involvement of
other transportation professionals within the region. This document is understood to provide the
basis for describing how the ITOC will function once the Ordinance is approved.
In addition to the details outlined in this document the intent that provides the foundation for the
desired partnership between ITOC and SANDAG, as viewed by the principal authors, is summarized
as follows:
Resource-it is the intent that the ITOC will serve as an independent resource to assist in
SANDAG's implementation of TransNet projects and programs. The Committee's membership is
designed to provide to SANDAG a group of professionals who, collectively, can offer SANDAG
the benefit of their experience to advance the timely and efficient implementation of TransNet
projects and programs. The ITOC will work in a public way to ensure all deliberations are
conducted in an open manner. Regular reports from the ITOC to the SANDAG Board of
Directors (or policy committees) are expected with regard to program and project delivery, and
overall performance. . Productive-it is the intent that the ITOC will rely upon data and processes available at
SANDAG, studies initiated by the ITOC, and other relevant data generated by reputable sources.
It is understood, however, that SANDAG will be continuously striving to improve the reliability
of data and to update analytical and modeling processes to be consistent with the state-of-the-
43
art, and that the ITOC will be kept abreast of any such efforts, and invited to participate in
development of such updates in a review capacity.
Cost-efficient-it is the intent that the ITOC will not add cost burden to SANDAG's
implementation of the TransNet program and projects. Rather, through a cooperative and
productive working relationship between ITOC and the SANDAG implementation team, it is the
objective that costs will be saved.
Flexible-it is the intent that the ITOC will assist SANDAG to be opportunistic to take advantage
of changing situations in the future with regard to technologies and transportation
developments. Therefore, the provisions contained below are viewed through 2038 based upon
a 2004 perspective and are not meant to be unduly restrictive on ITOC's and SANDAG's roles
and responsibilities.
Membership and Selection Process
1. Membership: There shall be seven ITOC voting members with the characteristics described
below. The intent is to have one member representing each of the specified areas of
expertise. However, if, after a good faith effort, qualified individuals have not been identified
for one or more of the areas of expertise, then no more than two members from one or more
of the remaining areas of expertise may be selected. For each of the areas of expertise listed
below, an individual representing one of the region's colleges or universities with a
comparable level of academic experience also would be eligible for consideration.
A professional in the field of municipal/public finance and/or budgeting with a minimum
of ten years in a relevant and senior decision making position in the public or private
sector.
A licensed architect, civil engineer or traffic engineer with demonstrated experience of

Ex-Officio Members: SANDAG Executive Director and the San Diego County Auditor
The criteria established for the voting members of the ITOC are intended to provide the skills
and experience needed for the ITOC to carry out its responsibilities and to play a valuable and
44
constructive role in the ongoing improvement and enhancement of the TransNet program.
Applications will be requested from individuals interested in serving on the ITOC through an
open, publicly noticed solicitation process.
2. Technical Screening Committee: A technical screening committee will be established to review
applications received from interested individuals. This committee will consist of three
members selected by the SANDAG Executive Director from high-level professional staff of
local, regional, state or federal transportation agencies outside of the San Diego region, or
from one of the region's colleges or universities in a transportation-related field, or a
combination thereof. The Committee will develop a list of candidates determined to be
qualified to serve on the ITOC based on the criteria established for the open position(s) on
the ITOC. The technical screening committee will recommend two candidates for each open
position from the list of qualified candidates for consideration by the Selection Committee.
The recommendations shall be made 'within 30 days of the noticed closing date for
applications.
3. Selection Committee: A selection committee shall be established to select the ITOC members
from the list of qualified candidates recommended by the technical screening committee. The
selection committee shall consist of the following:
Two members of the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors
The Mayor of the City of San Diego
A mayor from the Cities of Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach, or National City
selected by the mayors of those cities.
A mayor from the Cities of El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, or Santee selected by the
mayors of those cities.
A mayor from the Cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Oceanside, or Solana Beach
selected by the mayors of those cities.
A mayor from the Cities of Escondido, Poway, San Marcos, or Vista selected by the mayors
of those cities.
The selection of ITOC members shall be made within 30 days of the receipt of
recommendations from the technical screening committee. All meetings of the selection
Committee shall be publicly noticed and conducted in full compliance with the requirements
of the Brown Act. Should the selection committee be unable to reach agreement on a
candidate from the qualified candidates recommended by the technical screening committee,
the selection committee shall request the technical screening committee to recommend two
additional qualified candidates for consideration.
Terms and Conditions for ITOC members
ITOC members shall serve a term of four years, except that initial appointments may be
staggered.
ITOC members shall serve without compensation except for direct expenses related to the work
of the ITOC.
In no case shall any member serve more than eight years on the ITOC.
45
If and when vacancies in the membership of the ITOC occur, the same selection process as
outlined above shall be followed to select a replacement to fill the remainder of the term. At
the completion of a term, eligible incumbent members will need to apply for reappointment for
another term. . Term limits for ITOC members should be staggered to prevent significant turnover at any one
time. The initial appointment process should be based on this staggered term limit concept.
ITOC Responsibilities
The ITOC shall have the following responsibilities:
1. Conduct an annual fiscal and compliance audit of all TransNet-funded activities using the
services of an independent fiscal auditor to assure compliance with the voter-approved
Ordinance and Expenditure Plan. This annual audit will cover all recipients of TransNet funds
during the fiscal year and will evaluate compliance with the maintenance of effort
requirement and any other applicable requirements. The audits will identify expenditures
made for each project in the prior fiscal year and will include the accumulated expenses and
revenues for ongoing, multi-year projects.
2. Prepare an annual report to the SANDAG Board of Directors presenting the results of the
annual audit process. The report should include an assessment of the consistency of the
expenditures of TransNet funds with the Ordinance and Expenditure Plan and any
recommendations for improving the financial operation and integrity of the program for
consideration by the SANDAG Board of Directors. This consistency evaluation will include a
review of expenditures by project type for each local jurisdiction. The ITOC shall share the
initial findings of the independent fiscal audits and its recommendations with the SANDAG
Transportation Committee 60 days prior to their release to resolve inconsistencies and
technical issues related to the ITOC's draft report and recommendations. Once this review has
taken place, the ITOC would make any final amendments it deems appropriate to its report
and recommendations, and adopt its report for submission directly to the SANDAG Board of
Directors and the public. The ITOC shall strive to be as objective and accurate as possible in
whatever final report it adopts. Upon completion by the ITOC, the report shall be presented
to the SANDAG Board of Directors at its next regular meeting and shall be made available to
the public.
3. Conduct triennial performance audits of SANDAG and other agencies involved in the
implementation of TransNet-funded projects and programs to review project delivery, cost
control, schedule adherence and related activities. The review should include consideration of
changes to contracting, construction, permitting and related processes that could improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the expenditure of TransNet revenues. These performance
audits shall be conducted using the services of an independent performance auditor and
should include a review of the ITOC's performance. A draft of the ITOC's report and
recommendations regarding the performance audits shall be made available to the SANDAG
Transportation Committee at least 60 days before its final adoption by the ITOC to resolve
inconsistencies and technical issues related to the ITOC's draft report and recommendations.
Once this review has taken place, the ITOC would make any final amendments it deems
appropriate to its report and related recommendations, and adopt its report for presentation
directly to the SANDAG Board of Directors and the public. The ITOC shall strive to be as
46

objective and constructive as possible in the text and presentation of the performance audits.
Upon completion by the ITOC, the report shall be presented to the SANDAG Board of
Directors at its next regular meeting and shall be made available to the public.
Provide recommendations to the SANDAG Board of Directors regarding any proposed
amendments to the Ordinance and Expenditure Plan.
Provide recommendations as part of the 10-year review process. This process provides an
opportunity to undertake a comprehensive review of the TransNet program every 10 years
and to make recommendations for improving the program over the subsequent 10 years. This
review, process should take into consideration the results of the TransNet-funded
improvements as compared to the performance standards established through the Regional
Transportation Plan and the Regional Comprehensive Plan.
Participate in the ongoing refinement of SANDAG's transportation system performance
measurement process and the project evaluation criteria used in development of the Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP) and in prioritizing projects for funding. in the Regional
Transportation Improvement Program. The' focus of this effort will be on TransNet-funded
projects. Based on the periodic updates to the RTP, as required by state and federal law, the
oversight committee shall develop a report to the SANDAG Transportation Committee, the
SANDAG Board of Directors and the public providing recommendations for possible
improvements and modifications to the TransNet program.
On an annual basis, review ongoing SANDAG system performance evaluations, including
SANDAG's "State of the Commute" report, and provide an independent analysis of
information included in that report. This evaluation process is expected to include such
factors as level of service measurements by roadway segment and by time of day, throughput
in major travel corridors, and travel time comparisons by mode between major trip origins
and destinations. Such information will be used as a tool in the RTP development process.
Review and comment on the programming of TransNet revenues in the Regional
Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). This provides an opportunity for the ITOC to
raise concerns regarding the eligibility of projects proposed for funding before any
expenditures are made. In addition to a general eligibility review, this effort should focus on
significant cost increases and/or scope changes on the major corridor projects identified in the
Ordinance and Expenditure Plan.
Review proposed debt financings to ensure that the benefits of the proposed financing for
accelerating project delivery, avoiding future cost escalation, and related factors exceed
issuance and interest costs.
Review the major Congestion Relief projects identified in the Ordinance for performance in
terms of cost control and schedule adherence on a quarterly basis.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the ITOC shall conduct its reviews in such a manner that does not
cause unnecessary project delays, while providing sufficient time to ensure that adequate analysis
can be completed to allow the ITOC to make objective recommendations and to provide the public
with information about the implementation of the TransNet program.

All costs incurred in administering the activities of the ITOC, including related fiscal and
performance audit costs, shall be paid annually from the proceeds of the TransNet sales tax.
The funds made available to the ITOC shall not exceed $250,000 annually, as adjusted for
inflation annually for the duration of the program. Any funds not utilized in one fiscal year
shall remain available for expenditure in subsequent years as part of the annual budget
process.
The expenditures of the ITOC shall be audited annually as part of the same fiscal audit process
used for all other TransNet- funded activities.
The process for selecting the initial ITOC members shall be started no later than April 1 of the
year following the passage of the Ordinance by the voters. Because the funding for this
activity would not be available until Fiscal Year 2008-09, the ITOC activities during the initial
transition period will be phased in to the extent possible within the budget constraints of the
one percent administrative cap under the current TransNet Ordinance. Given the thirty-year
duration of the TransNet tax extension, the ITOC shall continue as long as funds from the
current authorization remain available.
An annual ITOC operating budget shall be prepared and submitted to the SANDAG Board of
Directors for its approval 90 days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year.
All ITOC meetings shall be public meetings conducted in full compliance with the Brown Act.
The ITOC will meet on a regular basis, at least quarterly, to carry out its roles and
responsibilities.
SANDAG Directors and staff will fully cooperate with and provide necessary support to the
ITOC to ensure that it successfully carries out its duties and obligations, but should limit
involvement to the provision of information required by the ITOC to ensure the
independence of the ITOC as it carries out its review of the TransNet program and develops
its recommendations for improvements.
ITOC members and their designated auditors shall have full and timely access to all public
documents, records.and data with respect to all TransNet funds and expenditures.
All consultants hired by the ITOC shall be selected on an open and competitive basis with
solicitation of proposals from the widest possible number of qualified firms as prescribed by
SANDAG's procedures for the procurement of professional services. The scope of work of all
such consultant work shall be adopted by the ITOC prior to any such solicitation.
SANDAG shall provide meeting space, supplies and incidental materials adequate for the ITOC
to carry out its responsibilities and conduct its affairs. Such administrative support shall not be
charged against the funds set aside for the administration of the ITOC provided under No. 1
above.

Conflict of Interest
The ITOC shall be subject to SANDAG's conflict of interest policies. ITOC members shall have no legal
action pending against SANDAG and are prohibited from acting in any commercial activity directly
or indirectly involving SANDAG, such as being a consultant to SANDAG or to any patty with pending
legal actions against SANDAG during their tenure on the ITOC. ITOC members shall not have direct
commercial interest or employment with any public or private entity, which receives TransNet sales
tax funds authorized by the voters in this ordinance.

FROM: SANDAG staff
SUBJECT: TransNet Extension Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program
The Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) is included in the TransNet
Extension Ordinance. The objective of the RTCIP is to establish a new revenue source that ensures
future development will contribute its fair share towards funding improvements to the Regional
Arterial System. The Board approved the inclusion of the RTCIP in the TransNet Extension Ordinance
at their April 9, 2004 meeting.
The RTCIP will be implemented by each jurisdiction thereby developing a consolidated development
impact mitigation program for the San Diego region. Funding acquired through the RTCIP will be
used to construct transportation improvements such as new or widened arterials, turning lanes,
traffic signal coordination and other traffic improvements, freeway interchange and related
freeway improvements, rail grade separations, and improvements for regional express bus and rail
transit services. These improvements will be needed to accommodate future travel.demand
generated by new development throughout the San Diego region. By establishing a program to
collect revenue from new developments in the region, local jurisdictions will be creating a
mechanism by which developers and in turn new county residents will effectively contribute toward
sustaining the regional transportation system.
One of the important issues to be addressed in the development of the TransNet Extension
Ordinance and Expenditure Plan is to ensure that the sales tax extension is not viewed as a bailout
for private development. The current TransNet measure includes a prohibition against using sales
tax funds to replace any private developer funding. Traditional sources of transportation funding
(such as the gasoline tax, local general funds, and the reauthorization of TransNet) will not be
sufficient to fund needed regional transportation facility improvements. New development needs
to pay its fair share of regional transportation needs.
The SANDAG Board recognized the need to establish a funding program to mitigate the regional
transportation impacts of new development on the Regional Arterial System. Discussions over the
need to establish a funding program for improving the Regional Arterial System have evolved into
the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP). While the RTCIP cannot and
should not fund all necessary regional transportation needs, the RTClP will establish a new revenue
source that ensures future development will contribute toward addressing the impacts of new
growth on the Regional Arterial System.

Questions and Answers
1. Would the $2,000 per dwelling unit regional impact fee be collected by each of
the local jurisdictions?
Yes. SANDAG has no authority to institute a developer impact fee.
2. Would the fees collected only be used on the Regional Arterial System?
Yes. There is a broad range of expenditure categories. The Regional Arterial System is
defined by the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is updated every three years so
the Regional Arterial System can be modified to address changing needs when the RTP is
updated.
3. Would the monies be sent over to SANDAG and then sent back to the
CitylCounty if they are developing part of the Regional Arterial System, or kept in
the CitylCounty until they build part of the Regional Arterial System.
The fees collected would not be sent over to SANDAG, unless, at the end of seven years the
CityKounty could show no planned need for the funds. Then the funds would be sent to
SANDAG and expended on qualified projects within three years within the same sub-region.
If the funds are not spent after the ten year period, the funds would be returned to the
private developer. SANDAG would require the city provide a schedule for collecting and expending fee revenue annually as part of its auditing responsibilities.
4. How would developer contributions to the Regional Arterial System (i.e.,
building a segment of the road) be credited?
Section F of the RTCIP (attached) outlines how credits will be awarded.
5. Where would the monies be used? Developer Impact Fees are typically used
within the community planning area. Can the regional fee be used anywhere? Is
there a nexus issue for urban development paying for the Regional Arterial
System?
SANDAG will be responsible for producing a regional nexus study. This nexus study would allow fees to be spent anywhere on the Regional Arterial System. However, the Regional
Arterial System is within each jurisdiction, so each jurisdiction will have the opportunity to
spend the fee revenue on the portion of the Regional Arterial System that serves its
residents.
6. What if we assess a higher fee via a Facilities Benefit Assessment? Would the
developer still have to pay the $2,000 per dwelling unit?
If the city collects and spends at least $2,000 per new residential unit on a Regional Arterial System improvement from its Facilities Benefit Assessment fees or exactions, no additional
fees would be required.

Draft TransNet Extension
Ordinance and Expenditure Plan
SECTION 9. Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP)
A. New Development Exactions
Starting on July 1, 2008, each jurisdiction in the San Diego region shall contribute $2,000 in
exactions from the private sector, for each newly constructed residential housing unit .in that
jurisdiction to the RTCIP. These exactions shall ensure future development contributes its
proportional share of the funding needed to pay for the Regional Arterial System and related
regional transportation facility improvements, as defined in San Diego Association of Governments’
(SANDAG’s) most recent, adopted Regional Transportation Plan. New residential housing units
constructed for extremely low, very-low, low, and moderate income households, as defined in
California Health and Safety Code Sections 50105,50106, 50079.5 and 50093, will be exempted from
the $2,000 per unit contribution requirement. No other new residential units shall be exempted.
The amount of contribution shall be increased annually, in an amount not to exceed the percentage
increase set forth in the Engineering Construction Cost Index published by the Engineering News
Record or similar cost of construction index. Each jurisdiction shall establish an impact fee or other
revenue Funding Program by which it collects and funds its contribution to the RTCIP. Each
jurisdiction shall be responsible for establishing a procedure for providing its monetary contribution
to the RTCIP. The RTCIP revenue will be used to construct improvements on the Regional Arterial
System such as new or widened arterials, traffic signal coordination and other traffic improvements,
freeway interchange and related freeway improvements, railroad grade separations, and
improvements required for regional express bus and rail transit. This action is predicated on the
desire to establish a uniform mitigation program that will mitigate the regional transportation
impacts of new development on the Arterial system. While the RTCIP cannot and should not fund
all necessary regional transportation network components and. improvements, the RTCIP will
establish a new revenue source that ensures future development will contribute its pro rata share
towards addressing the impacts of new growth on regional transportation infrastructure.
B. Oversight, Audit and Funding Allocations
The Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) shall be overseen by
SANDAG and implemented by each jurisdiction, with the objective of developing a consolidated
mitigation program for the San Diego region as a funding source for the Regional Arterial System.
The RTCIP and each Jurisdiction’s Funding Program shall be subject to an annual review and audit to
be carried out by the SANDAG and the Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee, as defined in
Section 11 of the TransNet Ordinance. Any jurisdiction that does not provide its full monetary
contribution required by Section 9.A in a given fiscal year will not be eligible to receive funding for
local streets and roads under section 4(D)(1) of the TransNet Ordinance for the immediately
following fiscal year. Any funding not allocated under 4(0)(1) as a result of this requirement shall
be reallocated to the remaining jurisdictions that are in compliance with this Section.
C. Implementation of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTCIP)
Provisions for implementation of the RTCIP are described in the document titled “TransNet
Extension Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program,” which is hereby
incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein,
46
TransNet €XT€NS/ON REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
CONGESTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Providing new transportation services and facilities is an expensive undertaking. Not providing
them, however, will result in a decreased quality of life due to significant increases in traffic
congestion, degrading mobility throughout the San Diego region. As SANDAG's Regional
Transportation Plan explains, our challenge is especially critical for the Regional Arterial System,
which is forecast to carry an increasingly significant amount of traffic volume. The SANDAG Board
recognizes the need to establish a new Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program
that ensures future development will contribute its share toward funding and mitigating new
traffic impacts on the Regional Arterial System.
A. Funding Program
1. Section 9 of the Transiet Ordinance requires that local jurisdictions establish a program
or mechanism that provides $2,000 per new residential unit for the purpose of funding
the Regional Arterial System, including SR75. For purposes of the RTCIP, the Regional
Arterial System is defined in SANDAG's most recent and adopted Regional
Transportation Plan. Each jurisdiction's program or mechanism shall be known as a
"Funding Program." Local jurisdictions may choose to implement a Funding Program
through a development impact fee program or other exactions from the private sector.
2. In the event a jurisdiction(s) chooses to establish a development impact fee program to
meet its Funding Program requirements, said program shall be consistent with
Government Code Section 66000 et seq.
3. SANDAG will be responsible for producing the required nexus study to satisfy the
requirements of California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. for Funding
Programs utilizing a development impact fee. The first draft of the regional nexus study
shall be presented to the SANDAG Board within nine months of the successful
reauthorization of TransNet.
4. In no case will non-residential development be subject to a development impact fee to
meet the requirements of Section 9 of the TransNet Ordinance.
5. Each jurisdiction's Funding Program shall be reviewed by the Independent Taxpayer
Oversight Committee referred to in Section 11 of the TransNet Ordinance prior to April
1, 2008, approved by Regional Transportation Commission by June 1, 2008 and shall
become operative on July 1, 2008.
B. Purpose
1. The purpose of each jurisdiction's Funding Program is to provide additional revenue to
fund those facility and service improvements on the Regional Arterial System
necessitated by development of newly constructed residences.
47
C. Fee Adjustment
1. The fee amount per residential unit shall be adjusted by SANDAG on July 1 of each year
based upon the Engineering Construction Cost Index as published by the Engineering
News Record or similar cost of construction index.
' 2. Any increase shall not exceed the percentage increase set forth in the construction
index. In no event, however, shall the increase be less than two percent per year. The
purpose of this annual adjustment is to retain purchasing power in anticipation of
future inflation.
D. Expenditure of Funding Program Revenues
1. Revenues collected under Section 9 of the TransNet Ordinance shall be deposited into
each jurisdiction's Funding Program for use on the Regional Arterial System a5 defined
in this Section.
2. Revenue collected through the Funding Programs shall be used to construct
transportation improvements such as new arterial roadway lanes, turning lanes,
reconfigured freeway-arterial interchanges, railroad grade separations and new
regional express bus services, or similar types of improvements, preliminary and final
engineering, right of way acquisition, and construction that will be needed to
accommodate future travel demand generated by new development throughout the
San Diego region. A reasonable portion of the program revenue may be used for fund
administration.
3. Expenditure of the Funding Program revenues shall be in a manner consistent with the
expenditure priorities in SANDAG's most recent and adopted long-range Regional
Transportation Plan and with Section 5 of the TransNet Ordinance. To maximize the
effective use of these Funding Program revenues, they may be transferred or
exchanged in accordance with the intent of Section 7 of the TransNet Ordinance.
E. Exemptions
The following development types shall be exempt from the Funding Program requirements:
1. New moderate, low, very low, and extremely low income residential units as defined in
Health & Safety Code sections 50093, 50105, 50106, and by reference in Government
Code section 65585.1.
2. Governmentlpublic buildings, public schools and public facilities.
3. The rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of any legal, residential structure and/or the
replacement of a previously existing dwelling unit. '
4. All new, rehabilitated, and/or reconstructed non-residential structures.
48
5. Development Projects which are the subject of a Public Facilities Development
Agreements (pursuant to appropriate Government Code Sections) prior to the effective
date of this ordinance, wherein the imposition of new fees are expressly prohibited,
provided, however that, if the term of such a Development Agreement is extended
after the effective date of this Ordinance, the requirements of this funding program
shall be imposed.
6. Guest Dwellings .*
7. Additional residential units located on the same parcel regulated by the provisions of
any agricultural zoning.
8. Kennels and Catteries established in conjunction with an existing residential unit.
9. The sanctuary building of a church, mosque, synagogue, or other house of worship,
eligible for property tax exemption.
10. Residential units that have been issued a building permit prior to July 1, 2008.
11. Condominium conversions
F. Credits
1. If a developer funds or constructs improvements on the Regional Arterial System and/or
as that arise out of SANDAG's Congestion Management Program, the developer shall
receive credit for the costs associated with the arterial improvements, offsetting the
revenue requirements of the Funding Program. Such credits shall only apply to the
Funding Program for the jurisdiction in which the residential unit was developed.
2. In special circumstances, when a developer constructs off-site improvements such as an
interchange, bridge, or railroad grade separation, credits shall be determined by the
local jurisdiction in consultation with the developer.
3. The amount of the credit shall not exceed the revenue requirements of the most
current Funding Program or actual cost, whichever is less.
4. The local jurisdictions shall compare facilities in their Funding Program, against the
Regional Arterial System and eliminate any overlap in its Funding Program except
where there is a legally recognized benefit district established.
5. If there is a legally recognized benefit district established, the local agency may credit
that portion of the facility identified in both programs against its Funding Program.
G. Procedures for the Levy, Collection and Disposition of Funding Program Revenues
1. Each jurisdiction shall establish and implement a procedure to levy and collect its
required contribution to the RTCIP in its Funding Program document.
49
2. Each jurisdiction shall determine its own schedule for collecting and/or contributing
private sector exactions to its Funding Program. This schedule shall be kept up-to-date
and provided to SANDAG and the Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee each
year at the time of the annual review and audit. Each jurisdiction must submit its
Funding Program documents, including an expenditure plan and financial records
pertaining to its Funding Program, to the Independent Taxpayer Oversight committee
for a review and audit by July 1 of each year beginning July 1, 2009. The Taxpayer
Independent Oversight Committee shall review each jurisdiction's Funding Program
consistent with its auditing role as described in Section 11 and the Statement of
Understanding referenced in that Section.
3. Funding Program revenue requirements shall not be waived.
4. Each jurisdiction shall have up to but no more than seven fiscal years to expend
Funding Program revenues on the Regional Arterial Systems projects. The seven year
term shall commence on the first day of July following the jurisdiction's receipt of the
revenue. At the time of the review and audit by the Independent Taxpayer Oversight
Committee, each jurisdiction collecting a development impact fee to meet the
requirements of its Funding Program shall provide the Committee with written findings
for any expended, unexpended and uncommitted fees in their Program Fund and
demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it
was charged, consistent with the requirements of Government Code Section 66000 et
seq. Unless a planned need for such fees can be demonstrated and a justification for
the delay can be provided that is acceptable to the Taxpayer Independent Oversight
Committee, the unexpended or uncommitted portion of the Funding Program revenues
shall be transferred to the Regional Transportation Commission (SANDAG) to be
expended within three years on qualified projects within the same subregion.
Contributions to the Funding Program not committed or expended by the tenth
anniversary date of the July 1 following collection shall be refunded to the current
record owner of the development project on a prorated basis. In no case will a refund
be more than was initially contributed to the Funding Program.
5. The Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee identified in Section 11 of the
TrJnsNet Ordinance shall be responsible for issuing an annual audit statement on each
jurisdiction's compliance with requirements of Section 9 of the TrJnsNet Ordinance by
October 1 of each year beginning October 1,2009. SANDAG will report to the Board on
the RTCIP and the annual audit statement in November of each year beginning in
November 2009.
