4/12/2019 <br />- 1 - <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION OF FUNDING SOURCES <br /> <br />ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (ATP) – The ATP was <br />created by Senate Bill 99 (Chapter 359, Statutes of 2013) and <br />Assembly Bill 101 (Chapter 354, Statutes of 2013) to encourage <br />increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and <br />walking. ATP is a federal and state funded program which provides <br />construction and educational grants for projects that increase the <br />proportion of biking and walking, increase traffic safety and mobility <br />for pedestrians and cyclists, and reduce childhood obesity. <br /> <br />ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM SB-1 AUGMENTATION <br />(ATP SB-1) – Most recently, Road Repair and Accountability Act <br />of 2017, enacted by Senate Bill 1 (Chapter 20, Statutes of 2017) <br />added approximately $100 million per year in available funds for <br />the ATP. This will nearly double the amount of available funds for <br />the Active Transportation Program. <br /> <br />CELL TOWER REVENUE – The City has 20 cell towers in city park <br />sites. The revenue generated from the cell sites originally was <br />budgeted for park improvements (repair work) in the park impacted <br />by the cell tower. A portion of the revenue is transferred to the <br />general fund. The remaining portion is used for the original intent <br />to make park repairs in the park that are impacted by the cell tower. <br /> <br />CIVIC CTR - CAPITAL PROJECT (CIVIC CTR - CAPITAL PROJ) <br />– Civic Center Funds are generated through parking revenue from <br />the Civic Center parking lots and structures (i.e., Super Block <br />Parking Lot, O.C. Courthouse/Library Parking Structure, and the <br />Stadium Parking Structure). These funds pay for Civic Center <br />parking structure maintenance, and Civic Center Special Projects. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM <br />(CDBG) – The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 <br />returns income tax funds to cities and counties to develop viable <br />urban communities, primarily for the benefit of low and moderate <br />income people. This U.S. Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development program gives priority to activities that help to <br />eliminate blight, with emphasis on residential areas. CDBG <br />projects are carried out by several operating departments with the <br />City and by sub-agents. Public hearings are held to plan projects <br />for the next fiscal year. The selected projects are recommended by <br />citizens, commissioners, and staff. <br /> <br />GAS TAX – Gas Tax funds are derived from the Motor Vehicle Fuel <br />Tax (HUTA or Highway Users Tax Account). Motorists pay a tax for <br />fuel consumption. It is apportioned to cities according to population <br />and can only be utilized in the maintenance and construction of the <br />street system. Examples of programs funded by Gas Tax include <br />Roadway Markings/Signs, as well as Traffic Signals, Street <br />Maintenance and Street Rehabilitation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1-13
