Local transportation funds: transit operators. Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District.Existing law authorizes the formation of the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District, with specified powers and duties related to the operation of public transit services serving the County of Santa Cruz. Existing law requires the districts purchases of supplies, equipment, and materials exceeding $25,000 to be by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder.This bill would instead require the districts purchase of supplies, equipment, and materials exceeding $150,000 to be by contract let to either the lowest responsible bidder or to the responsible bidder that submits a proposal that provides the best value to the district. The bill would require the district to obtain a minimum of 3 quotations, as specified, for a procurement exceeding $5,000 and, in the case of the purchase of supplies, equipment, or materials, not exceeding $150,000 or, in the case of the construction of facilities and works, not exceeding $10,000.Under existing law, the district is governed by a board of directors who are appointed by specified legislative bodies. If the appointee of a legislative body is one of its own members, existing law authorizes the appointee to serve only as long as the appointee is a member of the legislative body.This bill would authorize an appointee of a legislative body who was one of its own members to continue to serve until a qualified successor is appointed. The bill would authorize the board to compensate board members for attending each meeting of the board and each committee meeting, and require the compensation to reflect each board members actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of the board members duties, but prohibit that compensation from exceeding $400 per board member in any month.By expanding the duties of a local agency, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Existing law provides various sources of funding to public transit operators. Under the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act, also known as the Transportation Development Act, revenues from a 14% sales tax in each county are available, among other things, for allocation by the transportation planning agency to transit operators, subject to certain financial requirements for an operator to meet in order to be eligible to receive funds. Existing law sets forth alternative ways an operator may qualify for funding, including a standard under which the allocated funds do not exceed 50% of the operators total operating costs, as specified, or the maintenance by the operator of a specified farebox ratio of fare revenues to operating costs. Existing law establishes the required farebox ratio as 20% in urbanized areas and 10% in nonurbanized areas. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision relating to operator eligibility in urbanized areas based on the farebox ratio.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NOYES Local Program: NOYES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
