CALL FOR PROJECTS GRANTS SUBJECT TO LAPSE ON JUNE 30, 2011

The Board adopted a Timely Use of Funds Policy and a Lapsing Policy for the Call for Projects. These policies require that sponsors receiving Call for Projects grants execute agreements within six months of Board recertification and obligate, allocate or expend their dollars within a three year period. This report provides the list of projects that are out of compliance with these adopted policies and whose funds are subject to lapse on June 30, 2011.

BACKGROUND

Every July, the Board recertifies fiscal year funding for projects programmed through the Call for Projects. For projects funded with Proposition C local sales tax dollars, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) must be executed by December 31,2010. For sponsors whose projects are funded with Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), Regional Improvement Program (RIP), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds or State Transportation Improvement Program Transportation Enhancement (STIP TE) funds, a Letter of Agreement (LOA) must be executed by this same deadline. For projects that received a time extension, we require that an Amendment be executed by November 30, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, there are 7 projects without an executed MOU or LOA. Attachment A contains the list of the projects.

Also on an annual basis, we review the status of each project whose funds are subject to lapse at the end of the fiscal year. For those projects whose federal, state or local funds are not obligated, allocated, or expended, sponsors are notified that their projects may be subject to deobligation.

As of March 31, 2011, there are 96 potential projects with programmed funds that are subject to lapse on June 30, 2011. Attachment B contains the list of the projects. We formally notified these sponsors of their upcoming lapse date. We anticipate that as the Deobligation process continues, some projects may be removed due to their most up-to-date status.

NEXT STEPS

We will continue working with the project sponsors to ensure timely completion of the agreements. For those sponsors subject to lapse, we will continue working with them to ensure timely completion of their projects. For those projects that continue to be out of compliance with the adopted Timely Use of Funds Policy and Lapsing Policy, sponsors will be given an opportunity to appeal the proposed deobligation of funds to our Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in June 2011. TAC will then make a recommendation to staff on whether the project should be deobligated. Projects subject to deobligation will be brought to the Board for consideration in July 2011.
