BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager/CEO, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Engineering & Prog Delivery Officer, Chief BART Silicon Valley

Extension Project, Casey Emoto, Takis Salpeas

SUBJECT: 2000 Measure A Semi-Annual Report Ending June 30, 2020

FOR INFORMATION ONLY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

• The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA’s) 2000 Measure A Transit

Improvement Program (Measure A Program) was created in response to the Measure A

ballot approved by the voters of Santa Clara County on November 7, 2000.

• The Measure A Program is responsible for several key capital transit improvement

projects, among them the connection of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit

District (BART) to Santa Clara County, and increased bus and light rail service; and to

provide funding for related operating expenses.

• The Measure A Semi-Annual Report is issued to report on progress of projects under this

Program. This report is issued twice annually, one for the six-month period ending June

and a second for the period from July to December. This report covers January 2020 to

June 2020.

STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS:

The various projects covered in this report support VTA’s strategic business line to deliver

projects and programs to address the existing, evolving multimodal needs of Silicon Valley. As

accountable stewards of the natural resources and transportation tax revenues of the County, this

Semi-Annual Report to the VTA Board and the Citizens Watchdog Committee summarizes

information on scope, cost, schedule, funding situation and challenges of the various 2000

Measure A projects.

BACKGROUND:

The Measure A Program funded by a half-cent sales tax provides funding for projects specified

in the 2000 Measure A ballot. The VTA Board of Directors is responsible for implementation of

the Measure A Program and for all policy-related decisions including the composition,

implementation schedule and funding level of projects. The Citizens Watchdog Committee is

responsible for reviewing the Measure A Program expenditures to ensure funds are being spent

in accordance with the intent of the ballot and for informing the public on how the funds are

being spent. The Measure A Semi-Annual Report is a report prepared by VTA staff and provided

to the VTA Board of Directors and 2000 Measure A Citizens Watchdog Committee.

DISCUSSION:

Following are the highlights for the reporting period January 2020 to June 2020:

Extend BART from Fremont through Milpitas to Downtown San Jose and the Santa Clara

Caltrain Station

Key activities for VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Phase II Extension:

▪ On April 17, 2020 a special VTA Board of Directors meeting was held for members to be

briefed on two optimized single-bore tunnel concepts developed to address BART’s

operational concerns with the single bore configuration included in the project’s Final

Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact

Report. These concepts maintained, at a minimum, a single-bore stacked configuration

under Santa Clara Street (approximately 50’ below surface) between 13th Street and

Stockton Avenue to minimize street-level impacts and business disruptions in the San

Jose downtown core during construction.

▪ At VTA’s June 19, 2020 Board of Directors meeting, staff provided an overview of the

funding application to be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the

Expedited Project Delivery (EPD) Pilot Program. This presentation included details on

the project scope, cost estimate, schedule, contracting plan, and funding plan.

▪ Following the presentation to the Board of Directors, staff met with FTA Region IX on

June 25, 2020 to provide a similar overview of the project. On July 17, 2020, staff met

with FTA Headquarters and Region IX staff to review VTA’s EPD application readiness

to formally submit for federal funding. General details of the application were discussed

with a focus on elements satisfying the requirements of the EPD program. VTA was also

informed that a Project Management Oversight Consultant (PMOC) has been assigned

for project oversight and risk assessment.

Key activities for VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension Project (Phase I):

▪ VTA and BART reached a major milestone on March 2, 2020 when BART appointed a

5

Page 11: ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMITTEE

Page 3 of 4

Rail Acceptance Officer to take responsibility for the transition of the BART Berryessa

Extension Project from a VTA construction project to an operating element of the BART

system.

▪ After resolution of critical discrepancies through the first quarter, BART resumed Phase

3 operations and maintenance testing on March 12, 2020.

▪ The Safety and Security Certification Verification Report was submitted to the California

Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on May 20, 2020. The CPUC approved the System

Safety Certification on June 3, 2020.

▪ A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on June 12, 2020 that included a small group of

dignitaries and project participants. Members of the public were invited to live-stream the

event to maintain a small crowd and adhere to social distancing requirements.

▪ The project entered Revenue Service on June 13, 2020.

▪ BART assigned its 40th new revenue vehicle to VTA in January 2020. Forty is the

number of railcars specified in the SVBX Full Funding Grant Agreement to manage the

additional capacity being added by the SVBX project.

▪ On the Montague Pedestrian Overcrossing, the prefabricated steel bridge sections were

delivered to the site in June 2020. Field work on the sections continued in preparation for

their July 2020 installation over Montague Expressway.

▪ On the Hayward Maintenance Complex (HMC), for the new Component Repair Shop

(CRS), the contractor was granted Substantial Completion for the entire facility on

February 13, 2020. HMC project management continues to work on settling final

contract change orders.

Extend Light Rail from Downtown San Jose to the East Valley

Phase I included pedestrian and bus improvements along Capitol Expressway from Capitol

Avenue to Quimby Road (completed in 2012) and reconstruction of the Eastridge Transit Center

(completed in May 2015). Phase II (Eastridge to BART Regional Connector) will extend light

rail to the Eastridge Transit Center. VTA board certified the environmental documents in June

2019. PG&E final design for transmission line was completed in December 2019. PG&E

transmission line and other utilities relocations are expected to be complete by mid-2021. Right

of way activities are ongoing and acquisitions are expected to be completed by early 2021. The

95% design deliverables were received in July 2020 and are currently under review. The

construction contract is planned for advertisement in early 2021 contingent on securing funding.

Improve Caltrain: Double Track to Gilroy & Electrify from Palo Alto to Gilroy

Page 12: ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMITTEE

Page 4 of 4

Work on the Caltrain electrification project is proceeding. VTA continues to reimburse Caltrain

for our share of project related costs.

Improve Bus Service in Major Corridors

The contract for design services for modifications at Chaboya was awarded to STV Inc. in April

2019. The 65% design deliverables were received in July 2020 and design work is planned for

completion by the end of 2020.

Develop New Light Rail Corridor

The SR 85 Transit Guideway study is complete. The SR 85 Policy Advisory Board (PAB) has

endorsed a transit lane project on SR 85 that would be eligible for use by public transit and

private shuttles. The PAB's recommendation will be considered by VTA's Board of Directors in

the fall of 2020.

CLIMATE IMPACT:

This item does not directly pose an impact to climate change because it is an information item.

However, projects delivered under the Measure A program have the potential to impact the

climate. These impacts will be addressed when specific items are presented to the Board for

approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND PROJECT COSTS

A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Semi-Annual Report is a periodic update of the 2000 Measure A Transit Improvement

Program prepared by VTA staff and provided to the 2000 Measure A Citizens Watchdog

Committee and the VTA Board of Directors.

In the same manner VTA was committed to and completed all projects in the 1996 Measure B

Program, VTA is committed to completing all the projects in the 2000 Measure A Program.

During FY2021, VTA will advance projects to a ready state and advocate for outside fund

sources and matched funds to advance projects including potential public-private partnerships.

This report shows a snapshot of the 2000 Measure A Program at the time of writing. However, it

is important to understand that the timing and prioritization of projects in the program remains

fluid. The report is based on the Program’s budgeted, forecast, and incurred costs as of June 30,

2020.

Key activities that occurred in the six months leading up to June 30, 2020 are described below:

Extend BART from Fremont through Milpitas to Downtown San Jose and the Santa Clara

Caltrain Station

Following are the key activities for VTA’s BART Silicon Valley Phase II Extension:

▪ On April 17, 2020 a special VTA Board of Directors meeting was held for members to be

briefed on two special concept studies underway to address BART’s operational and

safety concerns with the single bore configuration that was included in the project’s June

2018 Record of Decision from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). These concept

studies maintain, at a minimum, a Single Bore stacked configuration under Santa Clara

Street (50’ below surface) between 13th Street and Stockton Avenue to minimize street-

level impacts and business disruptions in the San Jose downtown core during

construction.

Avenue to Quimby Road (completed in 2012) and reconstruction of the Eastridge Transit Center

(completed in May 2015). Phase II (Eastridge to BART Regional Connector) will extend light

rail to the Eastridge Transit Center. VTA board certified the environmental documents in June

2019. PG&E final design for transmission line was completed in December 2019. PG&E

transmission line and other utilities relocations are expected to be complete by mid-2021. Right

of way activities are ongoing and acquisitions are expected to be completed by early 2021. The

B. PROJECT COSTS

Figure 1.1, on page 1-7, shows the incurred costs for each of the 14 transit projects/program

areas as identified in the 2000 Measure A sales tax.

2000 Measure A Programwide

Programwide costs are incurred when activities are performed that provide either an indirect

benefit to multiple projects or provide benefit to the overall 2000 Measure A Program. There are

five programwide cost components to the 2000 Measure A Program:

▪ Capitalized Interest and Bond Costs

▪ Non-Capitalized Interest and Bond Costs

▪ Programwide Expenses

▪ VTA Operating Assistance

▪ Miscellaneous Operating Expenses

Interest and Bond Costs

Interest and Bond Costs represent interest and other bond charges (net of interest earned on bond

proceeds) related to 2000 Measure A Sales Tax Revenue Bonds. Other bond charges include

periodic fees related to variable rate bonds, including liquidity, remarketing, trustee and rating

fees.

Capitalized interest/bond charges need to be associated with the assets that were funded by the

bond proceeds. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 62,

capitalized interest related to restricted assets should be net of the interest income earned by the

reinvested bond proceeds. Costs are allocated directly to specific projects based on the prorata

share of bond proceeds used to fund expenditures on a quarterly basis. These costs will continue

to be allocated directly to project expenditures until the bonds are repaid in full or until such

projects are completed, whichever comes first.

Non-Capitalized interest/bond charges represent the bond costs allocated to projects that have

been completed as well as the costs associated with Taxable Build America Bonds proceeds that

have not yet been drawn down.

Bonds were initially issued beginning in 2003, prior to the start of the 2000 Measure A Sales

Tax, in order to advance the SVRT, Commuter Rail, and Light Rail programs prior to sales tax

revenue collections. Currently there are approximately $785.9 million in 2000 Measure A Sales

Tax Revenue Bonds outstanding.

Programwide Expenses

Programwide expenses include preparation of progress and cost reports and other general project

related tasks that are not attributable to individual projects. On a quarterly basis, the

programwide expenses are allocated to individual projects based on the incremental costs of the

projects during the quarter. The allocation is necessary to associate the costs to the individual

projects that were benefited by the incurrence of the programwide costs.

VTA Operating Assistance

20.75% of the Measure A Sales Tax revenue is used in support of VTA operations. Through

June 2020, a cumulative total of $489 million has been expended for this purpose.

Miscellaneous Operating Expenses

Miscellaneous Operating Expenses represent expenditures related to the ongoing costs of

administering the overall Measure A program. These expenses include financial forecasting,

investment consultants, annual financial audit preparation, election fees, publication of annual

financial audits and public hearings conducted by the 2000 Measure A Citizen’s Watchdog

Committee, and other general tasks.

C. MEASURE A FUND EXCHANGE

State law guarantees Santa Clara County a formula share of the State Transportation

Improvement Program (STIP) over a six-year period. State law and regional policy make the

VTA Board of Directors responsible for determining which eligible transportation projects will

receive those funds.

The VTA Board of Directors, at its June 7, 2007, and December 13, 2007 meetings approved the

exchange of STIP grant funds for Measure A funds and programmed STIP funds to Measure A

projects in exchange for an equivalent amount of 2000 Measure A Sales Tax funds. The

exchange of funds creates the Local Program Reserve (LPR) which allows the Board of

Directors to use those funds to program to other transportation projects. The Board approved the

fund exchange because it:

▪ Accelerates Project Delivery and Reduces Administrative Costs - STIP funds come with

substantial state requirements that impact schedule and cost of project delivery. The

exchange of funds allows the Board to free the projects from costly administrative

burdens.

▪ Enables the VTA Board to Manage Valley Transportation Plan (VTP) Expenditures - By

exchanging STIP funds, the VTA Board eliminates the need for Metropolitan

Transportation Commission (MTC) and the California Transportation Commission

(CTC) to approve all STIP programming decisions after they are approved by the VTA

Board. Further, it eliminates the CTC’s approval of all subsequent STIP fund allocations

for all STIP funded projects.

A portion of the exchange funds will be used to pay interest to the Measure A Program for fund

advances. The initial amount is paid back when the CTC allocates STIP funds to the Measure A

projects and VTA draws the cash from the State. The interest will be calculated, and paid from

the LPR account when (1) all STIP funds are drawn by the project and (2) all associated LPR

funds are actually paid to projects. Interest will be calculated at that time as well, based on

VTA's rates of return on its pooled investment accounts at the time the advances occurred.

Of note, the first three projects in the "Local Program Reserve Projects" table (Appendix B)

qualified for CMIA funds only because we were able to use exchange funds to advance these

projects. These CMIA projects have been closed.

These and other VTP Highway projects that utilize Measure A exchange funds are the subject of

the VTP Highway Semi-Annual Report that goes as an information item to the VTA Board twice

each year.

D. FUNDING

Funding is a key issue for many of the 2000 Measure A projects. As a consequence, in this

report we refer to several terms associated with a project’s funding level. These terms, arranged

in order of increasing certainty of funding availability, are as follows:

1. Estimated Cost – An estimate of the total cost of a project given the currently known

scope and configuration of the project. In the case of projects where there is little or no

scope definition, “TBD” (To be Determined) is shown. As the project is better defined,

estimated cost figures will be included for these projects. In the individual project

information sheets, we have included the “Estimate Class” in order to give an idea of the

level of uncertainty associated with the estimated cost. A more detailed discussion of this

topic is included in Appendix A.

2. Secured Funding – Funding that has been committed by funding agencies and is now

available to VTA for project expenditures. In many cases, secured funding is at a lower

level than the appropriation in the Adopted Budget. For these projects, it is anticipated

that additional funding may be secured during the FY20/FY21 period. It is important to

note that, regardless of the level of appropriation, actual expenditures will not exceed

secured funding at any time.

1-1 BART SV Program Development & Warm Springs

Estimated Cost: $440.7 million**

Secured Funding: $440.7 million**

Year of Completion: TBD

Project Description:

Project Development Through FY09:

When work began on VTA’s Silicon

Valley Rapid Transit (SVRT) extension,

environmental clearance and preliminary

engineering was performed for the

entire 16-mile extension. However, in

2009 this approach was changed to

focus on the first 10 miles of the

extension (SVBX), leading to the

execution of a Full Funding Grant

Agreement in 2012.

Initial project development costs not

transferred to the SVBX project as well

as costs associated with previously

allocated Measure A program-wide and

bond costs still reside in this account.

Project Development after FY09:

SVRT program management, early

Measure A program-wide allocations,

and ongoing bond cost allocations are

included here.

Warms Springs Extension: VTA has

assigned $8 million in State Local

Partnership Program (SLPP) funds and

$111.4 million in TCRP funds directly to

BART for the project and has provided

an additional $8 million of Measure A

funds to match the SLPP grant as well

as $1.6 million of financing costs.

Project Status:

Measure A matching funds attributable to the Warm Springs Extension have been paid. At this point, SVRT program

management and allocations of Measure A bond costs are the only ongoing efforts.

Project Status:

On April 17, 2020 a special VTA Board of Directors meeting was held for members to be briefed on two special concept studies underway to address BART’s operational and safety concerns with the single bore configuration that was included in the project’s June 2018 Record of Decision from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). These concept studies maintain, at a minimum, a Single Bore stacked configuration under Santa Clara Street (50’ below surface) between 13th Street and Stockton Avenue to minimize street-level impacts and business disruptions in the San Jose downtown core during construction.

At VTA’s June 19, 2020 Board of Directors meeting, staff provided an overview of the funding application to be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the Expedited Project Delivery (EPD) Pilot Program. This presentation included details on the project scope, cost estimate, schedule, contract plan, and funding plan.

Following the presentation to the Board of Directors, staff met with FTA Region IX on June 25, 2020 to provide a similar overview of the project. On July 17, 2020, staff met with FTA Headquarters and Region IX staff to review VTA’s EPD application readiness to formally submit for federal funding. General details of the application were discussed with a focus on elements satisfying the requirements of the EPD program. VTA was also informed that a Project Management Oversight Consultant (PMOC) has been assigned for project oversight and risk assessment.

Estimated Cost: $10.3 million*

Secured Funding: $10.3 million

Year of Completion: Varies

Description:

The VTA Board adopted the Light Rail Systems Analysis in May 2010. The Systems Analysis provides an evaluation of infrastructure and operational shortcomings of the existing light rail system along with a three-phase improvement plan for immediate action.

Southern Light Rail Express project developed alternatives for more efficient operation of the light rail system.The Vasona LRT Extension project was to provide a 1.6 mile extension from existing Winchester Station to a new Vasona Junction Station in Los Gatos. The Winchester Light Rail Double Track & Platform Extension was to extend six platforms to accommodate three car trains and double track the segments of the existing single tracks.The SR 85 Major Transit Investment Study will analyze implementation of a Light Rail System (LRT) on SR 85 from San Jose to Mountain View and other transit guideway alternatives such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) that would be a precursor to eventual implementation of LRT.

Status:The Light Rail Systems Analysis was adopted by the VTA Board in May 2010. The initial projects recommended from the Systems Analysis began planning, design and construction in Fall 2011.Southern Light Rail Express project has been closed out. Findings from this study will be used for future operating plan analysis. This study did not result in a capital construction project.

In June 2016, VTA Board of Directors approved funding to complete design, acquire right of way and relocate utilities for Vasona LRT extension/ Winchester Light Rail Double Track & Platform Extension. VTA Board awarded conceptual study contract in May 2018. Conceptual study to double track existing line and extend to Vasona junction was completed in June 2019. In September 2019, VTA Board approved project team’s recommendation to place the Vasona Light Rail Extension and Corridor Improvements program on hold.

The SR 85 Transit Guideway Study he SR 85 Transit Guideway Study is complete. The SR 85 Policy Advisory Board has endorsed a transit lane project on SR 85 that would be eligible for use by public transit and private shuttles. The PAB's recommendation will be considered by VTA's Board of Directors in the fall of 2020.

Dear Chair Carr and Board members,

Further to my letter to the October 7th PAC

meeting http://santaclaravta.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=9930, I am

respectfully requesting that you pull item #5 . 2000 Measure A Semi-Annual Report Ending June 30, 2020

ooff off consent and engage staff in a ROBUST discussion of the following issues:

1) Why do staff continue to misrepresent the cost of BART Phase I as $2,197.6B (line 1-3)

when the actual cost as of June 30 was $3,357.8B including the following line items:

• Line 1-1 BART SV Program Dev, Implementation & Warm Springs $439.1M • Line 1-2 BART SV Corridor Establishment and Maintenance $457.6M • Line 1-5 BART Core System Modifications (BCS) $168M • Line 1-6 BART Other Supporting Project $95.5M

http://santaclaravta.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=9927

2) Measure A as approved by the voters of Santa Clara County consists of 14 line items (not

13) including

line 14 - Fund Operating and Maintenance Cost for INCREASED Bus, Rail

and Paratransit

Service http://santaclaravta.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=9927 (line

14) so the question is why was line 14 deleted in its entirety from the 2000 Measure A

Program Semi-Annual Report January 2020 – June 2020?

DISCUSSION:

This memorandum provides a brief discussion of significant items and trends on the attached

Statement of Revenues and Expenses through June 30, 2020. The schedule has been designed to

follow the same agency-wide line item rollup as included in the adopted budget. The columns

have been designed to provide an easy comparison of actual to budget activities for the fiscal

year, along with columns reflecting the dollar and percentage variances from budget.

The following are highlights of the current Statement of Revenues and Expenses:

Revenues

In Fiscal Year 2020 through June 30, 2020, Total Revenues (line 14) are $39.6M lower than

budget estimates. Total Revenues do not include the receipt of $72.9M in CARES Act Funding.

Favorable variances are largely attributed to Transportation Development Act (TDA) (line 4) and

Investment Earnings (line 10). These positive variances are offset by unfavorable variances in

Fares-Transit (line 1); Fares-Paratransit (line 2); Sales Tax based accounts, consisting of 1976

Half-Cent Sales Tax (line 3) and Measure A Sales Tax Operating Assistance (line 5); State

Transit Assistance (STA) (line 7); and State operating grants (line 9).

TDA (line 4) and Investment Earnings (line 10) reflect a combined positive variance of $6.8M,

of which $2.2M are TDA revenues (line 4) that is a carryover from June 2019. Investment

Earnings (line 10) were higher than anticipated due to higher one-time trading gains.

Fares with a combined negative variance of $8.7M, consisting of $8.1M in Fares-Transit (line 1)

and $600K in Fares-Paratransit (line 2), are because of fares not being collected from March 19,

2020 through the end of Fiscal Year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sales Tax based accounts, consisting of 1976 Half-Cent Sales Tax (line 3) and Measure A Sales

Tax Operating Assistance (line 5), accounted for a combined negative variance of $19.4M, due

to the significant lower sales tax revenues in the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal Year 2020, as

a result of the COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place order.

STA (line 7) reflects an unfavorable variance of $15.3M due to a reduction of the underlying fund

sources in the funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).

State operating grants (line 9) show a negative variance of $1.4M due to timing of planned

activities.

Expenses

In Fiscal Year 2020 through June 30, 2020, Total Expenses (line 44) were $39.4M under budget

driven primarily by favorable variances in Labor Costs (line 15), Materials & Supplies (line 16),

Security (line 17), Professional & Special Services (line 18), Fuel (line 20), Insurance (line 24),

and Paratransit (line 33). These favorable variances were partially offset by an unfavorable

variance in Other Services (line 19) and Reimbursements (line 31).

Labor Costs (line 15) shows a positive variance of $19.2M primarily due to staff vacancies.

Materials & Supplies (line 16) reflects a favorable variance of $9.0M due to the delayed need for

6

Page 60: ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMITTEE

Page 3 of 3

hybrid battery replacements, the timing of mid-life overhauls for Light Rail Vehicle

Maintenance, and fewer parts issued as VTA reprioritized to focus on the impacts of the COVID-

19 pandemic. This variance was mitigated by additional materials and supplies procured to

address such impacts.

Security (line 17) shows a favorable variance of $971K due to deferred security ramp-up.

Professional & Special Services (line 18) reflects a favorable variance of $2.9M primarily due to

timing of planned activities.

Fuel (line 20) shows a favorable variance of $2.3M as the price and usage of fuel were less than

budgeted.

Insurance (line 24) reflects a favorable variance of $3.7M primarily due to less than anticipated

self-insured claim settlements.

Paratransit (line 33) has a favorable variance of $3.4M primarily due to lower revenue hours,

maintenance costs and supplemental services, as a result of the COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place order

since mid-March 2020, as well as previously unanticipated VTA staff turnover to support the

Paratransit services.

Other Services (line 19) reflects an unfavorable negative variance of $1.1M primarily attributed

to higher than anticipated need for contract employee services. Contract employees performed

services temporarily in business functions impacted by staff vacancies.

Reimbursements (line 31) has an unfavorable negative variance of $7.1M primarily due to fewer

maintenance reimbursements.

SUMMARY:

Total Revenues (line 14) for FY 2020 were $467.8M and Total Expenses (line 44) were

$473.2M resulting in a negative Operating Balance of $5.4M.

CLIMATE IMPACT:

This recommended action will have no climate impact.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of this action.

DISCUSSION:

Economic Watch

Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 31.4% in the second quarter of

2020, according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The

decrease in real GDP reflected decreases in personal consumption expenditures (PCE), exports,

private inventory investment, nonresidential fixed investment, residential fixed investment, and

state and local government spending that were partly offset by an increase in federal government

spending. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 5.0 %.

Headline consumer prices, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), rose 1.3% year over

year as of August 2020. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices increased at a

rate of 1.7% year over year as of August 2020. The Federal Reserve continues to target an

inflation rate of 2.00%.

The unemployment rate in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA was 7.6 % in August 2020,

down from a revised 9.5 % in July 2020, and above the year-ago estimate of 2.7 %. This

compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 11.6 % for California and 8.5 % for the

nation during the same period. The unemployment rate was 9.2 % in San Benito County, and 7.5

% in Santa Clara County.

Market Watch

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index returned 7.19% in August, and the NASDAQ Composite index

returned 9.70%. Large cap stocks returned 7.34% and small cap stocks returned 5.63%. Large

cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks returning 10.32% and 4.14%

respectively.

The Barclays Aggregate index returned -0.81% in August, on a year to date basis the Barclays

Aggregate index has returned 6.85%. The investment grade corporate sector returned -1.27% and

the agency MBS sector returned 0.04% during the month of August. High yield corporate credit

returned 0.98% and Sr. floating rate corporate credit returned 1.02%.

MFS - The International Equity manager outperformed its policy benchmark in August 2020 by

0.34%. An overweight position in Hong Kong and Canada and an underweight position in Japan

all contributed to relative performance.

DFA - The International Small Cap Equity manager underperformed its policy benchmark in

August 2020 by 0.38%. The portfolio’s overweight allocation to microcaps and the value factor

both detracted from relative performance for the month.

PRINCIPAL GROUP - The Diversified Real Asset Manager underperformed its policy

benchmark by 0.16% in August 2020. Manager selection to the natural resources, infrastructure

and real return sectors all contributed to relative performance for the month.

DODGE & COX - DODGE & COX - The Fixed Income portfolio manager outperformed its

benchmark in August 2020 by 0.50%. The primary contributors to relative performance were the

portfolios’ shorter relative duration and security selection within the corporate sector.

LIGHTHOUSE - The Absolute Return manager underperformed its benchmark in August 2020

by 0.54%. International equity, credit and quantitative strategies all contributed to relative

performance for the month.

SKYBRIDGE - The Absolute Return manager outperformed its policy benchmark in August

2020 by 0.69%. Structured credit and hedged equity strategies both contributed to relative

outperformance for the month.

A 7.00% rate of return assumption is used in the annual actuarial analysis for the Retirees’

OPEB. The results of the actuarial analysis determine VTA’s annual contribution rates. Any

difference between actual investment returns and the 7.00% assumed annual return is recognized

in the same year. The annual returns for the Retirees’ OPEB portfolio have been equivalent to or

exceeded the 7.00% assumed rate of return in 9 out of 15 years.

“ Payden is proud to be recognized as one of the 2020 PRI Leaders. We are

committed to acting in the best long-term interests of our global client

base and are proud to prudently align our investment process with

broader societal objectives.”

Joan Payden, President and CEO of Payden & Rygel

“ I am delighted to congratulate Payden & Rygel for qualifying for the

2020 Leaders’ Group, and to formally recognize their excellent disclosure

and advanced efforts in this year’s Leaders’ Group theme: climate

reporting”

Fiona Reynolds, CEO of PRI

One of 36 global ‘Leaders’ focused on Climate Reporting

Payden & Rygel, one of the largest privately-owned global investment firms, is delighted to announce it has been

recognized as a member of the PRI’s (Principles for Responsible Investment) 2020 Leaders’ Group for excellent

disclosure and advanced efforts in Climate Reporting.

As part of their efforts to raise global standards for responsible investment, the PRI identified the Leaders’ Group

as those signatories at the cutting edge of this year’s theme, Climate Reporting. Of the 2,000+ eligible asset owner

and investment manager signatories, 36 were selected.

In particular, 2020 PRI Leaders are those organizations demonstrating strategic alignment with the Financial

Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate- related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and strong Environmental, Social,

and Governance (ESG) performance.

As a PRI signatory since 2013, Payden & Rygel has made a full commitment to integrate ESG across client

investment portfolios. In an increasingly global world, studying and addressing the risks and opportunities

presented by climate change has never been more important.

Executive Summary: A Restructuring, Not A Recession

▪ The recession is over. High frequency indicators suggest the U.S. and global economies

“bottomed out” in Q2 and recovered strongly in Q3.

▪ The economy is undergoing a restructuring. Public safety restrictions are changing consumer

behavior. For investors, that means it’s important to pick the winners and losers in terms of

industries and sectors.

▪ The expiration of the enhanced unemployment benefits was expected to hinder the recovery,

but consumer spending continues to recover thanks to a savings buffer and the rebound in

wages & salaries due to job growth.

▪ The U.S. unemployment rate peaked in April and has declined since then, reaching 7.9% in

September – beating the most optimistic expectations. Can the pace of the recovery continue?

Continuing claims for unemployment insurance provide early insight.

▪ The California unemployment rate also peaked then plunged, although progress may have

stalled. Santa Clara County is doing better than the national average though. Progress across

Santa Clara County cities varies, but unemployment rates are down from their peaks.

▪ The business cycle matters. Taxable sales track retail sales closely. If the last two business

cycles are an indication, we should expect a sharp rebound in taxable sales in the second half

of 2020.
