Subject: San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) and^"r^� 46
San Luis Obispo Regional Transportation Authority (SLORTA)
September 6,2006
At the meeting on Wednesday, September 6t', an action was taken by the Board to support
Proposition I (transportation funding protection for Prop 42),.1B (Highway Safety Bond Act),
and 1 C (Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund).
Prop IA will provide protection to cities and counties, for Prop 42 generated funds, to require
that these funds can be used only for transportation purposes and not borrowed by the state for
budget bailout. If approved, the San Luis Obispo region will receive $11.2 million per year
beginning with fiscal year 2008-09. San Luis Obispo City's share is $438,000 per year.
Prop 1B is a$20.bilhon bond measure that will provide one-time funding for transportation
purposes throughout the state. It is anticipated that the County will receive $16.9 million and
cities will receive $4.96 million for local streets and roads. San Luis Obispo's share is estimated
at $1.4 million.
Prop 1C would approve a$2.85 billion statewide bond for shelters for battered women and their
children, low-income senior housing, and homeowner assistance for the disabled and military.
There are various programs all ready in place to use these funds, but it appears that SLO County
is ahead of the curve since it has been working on a regional blueprint to providing a vision for
future housing needs of the County.
The SLORTA portion of the meeting brought forth information that Rideshare Week is October
16`s through 20`h, when all employees are encouraged to use alternate transportation on their way
to work. There will be a special event in Mission Plaza on October 19`h
The SLORTA staff reported that they were finalizing budget procedures to provide for a multi-
year budget and submitting earlier information to the various cities regarding each projected
budget. This request was initiated by the City of San Luis Obispo and concurred with by the
other cities.
