SUBJECT: Measure A Local Streets and Roads Capital Improvement Plans for FY 2022/23 – FY 2026/27
The Measure A voter-approved half-cent sales tax program provides local agencies with Local Streets and Roads
funding for street maintenance and operations, street repairs, street improvements, and new infrastructure of its
local streets and roads systems.
The requirements for receipt of Measure A Local Streets and Roads funding are:
1) Submittal of the local agency Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP);
2) Project Status Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 CIP projects;
3) Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Certification; and
4) Participation in the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee (TUMF) programs, as applicable.
The Five-Year CIP should be developed using the Measure A revenue projections (Attachment A). The MOE
certification is based on the 2009 Measure A MOE base year amount, which is identified in the MOE certification
statement included in this packet (Attachment C). Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) staff will
contact Western Riverside Council of Governments, Coachella Valley Association of Governments, and Western
Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority for verification of local agency participation in the applicable
MSHCP and TUMF programs.
FY 2022/23 – FY 2026/27 Measure A Five-Year CIP
x The Five-Year CIP is a list of proposed uses for the Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds and must be
based on the attached revenue projections (Attachment A). The CIP projects must be listed per fiscal
year using the format provided in Attachment B.
x The project descriptions should be specific enough to ensure that recipients are properly planning capital
expenditures and reporting such plans to the Commission. Accordingly, some projects will require more
specific descriptions (e.g., Main Street and 1st Street intersection improvements, drainage improvements,
or new traffic signal) while other projects may only require general descriptions (e.g., city-wide street slurry
seal/crack program).
x If overhead or indirect costs, not attributable to a specific CIP project, are expected to be charged to
Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds, the overhead/indirect costs must be included as a separate
CIP item to be an eligible cost. The RCTC policy states that such overhead/indirect costs not attributable
to a specific CIP project are limited to the lower of the jurisdiction’s calculated rate or 8% of the annual
Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds . Additionally, such overhead costs must be based on actual
costs for that fiscal year and are subject to specific audit review.
x Any projects listed on prior year plans, which are active (not completed - Measure A Local Streets and
Roads funds not fully expended), should be included in the current five-year CIP (carried over), along
with the associated funding anticipated to be expended in the current five-year CIP.

Measure A CIP/MOE Notification FY 2022/23 – FY 2026/27
FY 2022/23 MOE Certification Statement
The Measure A Ordinance No. 02-001 requires annual certification that discretionary General Fund expenditures
for transportation-related construction and maintenance activities for FY 2022/23 will meet or exceed the MOE
Base Year amount. Funds withheld from a local agency for failure to meet its MOE Base Year requirement will be
redistributed in accordance with Measure A Ordinance No. 02-001 within the Measure A apportionment area in
which the agency is located (i.e., Western County, Coachella Valley, or Palo Verde Valley). However, if a local
agency has excess MOE balance from exceeding prior year’s MOE, some of the excess MOE balance can be
utilized to make up the deficiency in the current year MOE (refer to your agency’s Measure A FY 2020/21
Independent Accountant’s Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures for MOE balance, Attachment D).
The MOE Certification Statement is part of the MOE process. RCTC’s auditor will perform agreed-upon
procedures related to Measure A Local Streets and Roads following the end of the fiscal year. At that time, the
fiscal year’s actual MOE expenditures will be compared to the MOE base year, and the local agency will be
required to provide a summary of that fiscal year’s MOE expenditures in a format consistent with the MOE base-
year format.
Project Status Report
RCTC must also receive a Project Status Report (template included in Attachment B – 6th tab) on the FY 2021/22
CIP projects. The purpose of this report is to document progress to date on engineering, right-of-way acquisition,
and construction; problems encountered (if any); and completion date and/or anticipated completion date.
Projects that are not completed as previously anticipated in FY 2021/22 should be carried over to the following
fiscal year(s) Measure A CIPs if Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds will continue to be utilized to complete
the project.
Submittal Deadlines
The timeline for approval of the Five-Year CIP is as follows:

MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT CERTIFICATION STATEMENT
The undersigned agrees and certifies for the city of La Quinta (the “Agency”) that
sales tax transportation funds received pursuant to Ordinance No. 02-001 of the
Riverside County Transportation Commission (“Measure A”) shall be used in
compliance with the Commission’s Maintenance of Effort Guidelines and a base
year amount of $937,007, approved by the Commission at its June 12, 2013
meeting, and that the Agency shall not use such funds to replace discretionary local
funds previously expended by the Agency for local transportation purposes. The
Agency hereby acknowledges that the failure of the Agency to continue such local
expenditure shall result in a reduction or loss of Measure A funds. Additionally, the
Agency commits to expending Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds for
projects listed in the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan as approved by Riverside
County Transportation Commission.
