Preamble
Motion by:
Directors Garcia, Butts and Hahn
Related to Item 38: Measure M Master Guidelines - 3% Local Contribution for Transit System Connectivity Projects
Attachment D of the Measure M Master Guidelines presented in June 2017 provide an additional 6 to 24 months for continued development of several sections, several of which relate directly to programs and subfunds that could be provided directly to cities. Further, the Guidelines require that local jurisdictions with major transit projects provide 3% of local funds toward these projects. Particularly as it relates to those projects designated as “system connectivity,” this 3% local match requirement places a significant financial burden on LA County’s smaller cities, for whom costs may far outweigh the benefits to their residents.
Title
SUBJECT: MOTION BY GARCIA, BUTTS AND HAHN REGARDING
MEASURE M MASTER GUIDELINES - 3% LOCAL
CONTRIBUTION FOR TRANSIT SYSTEM
CONNECTIVITY PROJECTS
WE THEREFORE MOVE that, during its continued development of Measure M Master Guidelines noted in the guidelines’ Attachment D, Metro develop further options for the identification and utilization of funding sources, separate from Local Return, that could be available to any local jurisdictions to partially or fully fund the 3% local match for those major transit projects designated for system connectivity purposes.
