- 2 - <br />DESCRIPTION OF FUNDING SOURCES <br />CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AND AIR QUALITY (CMAQ) – <br />CMAQ program has been reauthorized under every successive <br />Transportation Bill up to and including the FAST Act in 2015. <br />Through the close of the MAP-21 period in 2015, the CMAQ <br />program has provided more than $30 billion to fund over 30,000 <br />transportation related environmental projects for State DOTs, <br />metropolitan planning. <br />DRAINAGE ASSESSMENT FEE (DAF) – In accordance with <br />Section 34-191 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the City has <br />been divided into drainage assessment areas. The fee <br />established for each drainage area is based on the need for <br />drainage facilities in each area as shown in the City’s Storm Drain <br />Master Plan. <br />FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ENTERPRISE (FCWE) – This <br />enterprise is responsible for storm drain systems operation and <br />maintenance and pollution reduction under the new National <br />Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit issued by the <br />Santa Ana Region of Water Quality Control Board in <br />January 2002. <br />GAS TAX – Gas Tax funds are derived from the Motor <br />Vehicle Fuel Tax (HUTA or Highway Users Tax Account). <br />Motorists pay a tax for fuel consumption. It is apportioned to <br />cities according to population and can only be utilized in the <br />maintenance and construction of the street system. Examples <br />of programs funded by Gas Tax include Roadway <br />Markings/Signs, as well as Traffic Signals, Street Maintenance <br />and Street Rehabilitation. <br />In 2002, California voters passed Proposition 42, which dedicated <br />gas tax revenue to transportation projects. Under a new law <br />enacted in March 2010, the revenues to local streets and roads <br />for Proposition 42 ceased in FY 2009-10 and the monies <br />allocated to replace these funds in FY 2010-2011 are a new <br />category of HUTA (Gas Tax) funds. <br />GENERAL FUND – The general fund is supported by revenue <br />received from sales tax, property tax, utility tax and other <br />miscellaneous tax revenue which provides funding for City <br />operations. <br />HOUSING RELATED PARKS PROGRAM (HRPP) – The HRPP <br />provides funds for parks and recreation projects that benefit the <br />community and add to the quality of life. The program awards <br />funds on a per-bedroom basis for residential units, affordable to <br />very low-and low-income households, created or converted during <br />the designated program year. <br />MEASURE M2 – On November 7, 2006, voters approved the <br />renewal of the Measure M half-cent sales tax (Measure M2), <br />extending the program over a 30-year period beginning in 2011. <br />In addition to the original three program components, this <br />generation of the Measure M Transportation Plan expands the <br />program to include Environmental Cleanup and Taxpayer <br />Safeguards and Audits.
