These capital projects are funded through a variety of funding sources including, but not limited to, Federal, State, and Local grants. Capital items funded with these grants include, but are not limited to, Revenue and Non-Revenue Vehicles, Transit Centers, Facility Improvements, and Information Systems. Depending on the nature of the project, it can take multiple years to accumulate the required funding to complete the project. It can also take multiple years to complete the project once it has commenced. Examples of such a scenario are the heavy-duty CNG bus fleet replacement/expansion and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) enhancement/expansion projects. Summary: The Agency will always have capital needs due to replacement of retired assets, acquisition and/or maintenance of Agency infrastructure, and unique needs such as transit centers to serve the transportation needs of our customers. As such, the Agency should always have a backlog of open projects that preserve the future of the Agency. A presentation will be given at the committee meeting which provides an update on the Agency’s capital projects, focusing on the activities from June through August 2016. The Agency is required to provide quarterly reporting to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) one month after the end of each quarter. The Agency is required to provide quarterly reporting to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) after the end of each quarter. This reporting was submitted. Item 6 9 Recommendation: Receive and file. Item 6 10 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA 92507 September 7, 2016 TO: BOARD BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Quarterly Investment Report Summary: The Agency currently has three (3) investment vehicles for its operating and capital funds’ cash balances above and beyond immediate need. The first is the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which is managed by the Treasurer of the State of California. While the balance earns interest on a daily basis, investment results are only published and available on a quarterly basis – fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter. The second is the Riverside County Treasurer’s Pooled Investment Fund (County Pool) which is managed by the Treasurer of the County of Riverside. While the balance earns interest on a daily basis, investment results are provided on a quarterly basis as well. However, different from LAIF, County Pool results are provided as follows: approximately 30% five (5) days after the end of the quarter and the remaining 70% forty-five (45) days after the end of the quarter. The third is the CalTRUST Short-term Fund which is managed by the CSAC Finance Corporation. The balance earns interest on a daily basis and investment results are provided monthly the day after the end of the previous month. The attached report presents investment performance for the 4th quarter of FY16 (as of June 30, 2016). Recommendation: Receive and file. Item 7 11 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY Investment Report For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016 Investment Type Institution Amount of Investment at 6/30/16 Current Market Value at 6/30/16 Quarter to Date Effective Average Rate of Interest Rate Quarter to Date Interest Earned for the Quarter Interest Earned Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) State of California $5,000,000.00 $5,003,106.11 0.55% 0.55% $18,978.75 Riverside County Treasurer Pooled Investment Fund County of Riverside $6,882,720.71 $6,882,720.71 0.61% 0.61% $13,031.46 15,250,806.19 $15,250,806.19 0.71% 0.71% $13,360.35 CalTrust Short Term CalTrust Fund Note: Sufficient funds are available to meet the next 30 days’ operating and 90 days’ capital obligations. Additionally, the above portfolio conforms with the Agency’s Investment Policy. Item 7 12 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA 92507 September 7, 2016 TO: BOARD BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Quarterly Natural Gas Procurement Status Report Background: Prior to August 1, 2013, the Agency had always purchased its natural gas (converted to compressed natural gas or CNG) requirements for fueling revenue and non-revenue vehicles from the southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas). The cost of the gas from SoCal Gas included the commodity cost of the gas as well as the transmission costs and related taxes/fees. In May 2013, the Board authorized staff to enter into a multi-year contract with GHI LLC (GHI) for the Agency’s natural gas commodity requirements for conversion to CNG. The Agency’s contract with GHI commenced July 1, 2013 and natural gas purchases commenced in August 2013. Highlights of the GHI contract are as follows: • • • • • Item 8 GHI provides a fixed 4% discount off the SoCal Gas commodity cost (in the contract base years; 1-3) GHI provides a fixed 6% discount off the SoCal Gas commodity cost (in the contract option years; 4-5) GHI provides the Agency with 5% of the total Renewable Identification Number (RINs) Credit earned GHI will both opt-in on the Agency’s behalf for the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) Credit program and financially administer the Agency’s LCFS Credits GHI provides the Agency with 100% of the LCFS Credit value earned 13 Summary: The current Board approved Agency Investment Policy includes language regarding the purchase of natural gas requirements for conversion to CNG. The natural gas purchase language outlines the acceptable ways staff can purchase natural gas requirements for use in fueling Agency vehicles. The policy includes language describing the discipline to purchase a long-term fixed price-pertherm contract provided certain parameters are met. The policy also states that, if the Agency buys its natural gas requirements from an entity other than SoCal Gas, staff would prepare a quarterly report for the Board regarding the performance results under the new purchase arrangement and provide a performance comparison to the prior purchase arrangement. Attachment A to this staff report identifies the savings the Agency has experienced by purchasing natural gas from GHI versus purchasing it from SoCal Gas. The costs are depicted for both a monthly and trailing quarter basis. Attachment B to this staff report identifies the RINs Credit earned by the Agency under its natural gas purchase arrangement with GHI. RINs credits are earned and paid monthly. As a reminder, no such opportunity existed with SoCal Gas nor was it offered by the other responsible and responsive bidder during the formal procurement process. Further, effective March 2016, the Agency is now receiving the greater of the two possible RIN credit values (D1 or D3). Attachment C to this staff report identifies the LCFS Credits earned by the Agency under its natural gas purchase arrangement with GHI. LCFS credits are earned monthly but paid quarterly. As a reminder, no viable means to provide this credit to the Agency was offered by the other responsible and responsive bidder during the formal procurement process. Attachment D to this staff report indicates the key statistics being measured and tracked to determine whether or not the Agency should convert from the current monthly floating index cost per therm purchase arrangement to a longer-term fixed price per therm purchase arrangement per the Investment Policy. The statistics are kept to follow and enact, if applicable, the discipline installed as part of the annual investment policy. Item 8 14 Based on the investment policy discipline and market conditions, the Agency has currently executed two three-month contract purchases for natural gas requirements (~80%) commencing in July and October 2016. The three-month contracts cover the following periods: • • July - September 2016 October - December 2016 Fiscal Impact: Under the current purchase arrangement with GHI, the Agency experienced $11,017 of savings in the quarter covering May - July 2016 for its natural gas commodity requirements. The Agency earned a total of $199,242 of combined revenue from the Federal RINs and State LCFS Credits’ programs due to its natural gas consumption for use as CNG. Additionally, the Agency earned $285,415 in Federal Excise Tax (FET) Credit for this quarterly period. Recommendation: Receive and file. Item 8 15 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA 92507 September 7, 2016 TO: BOARD BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer Rick Majors, Risk Manager SUBJECT: Annual Report for Public Agencies Self-Insured for Workers’ Compensation Benefits Background: The Agency has been self-insured for workers’ compensation benefits since April 1991. Prior to that, it was insured with the State Compensation Insurance Fund. The change to a self-insured plan permitted the Agency greater flexibility to work with the designated claims administrator to address employee needs while ensuring control of workers’ compensation costs. By October 1st of each year, public agencies that are self-insured for workers’ compensation benefits are required to file a report with the State of California covering the previous fiscal year’s activity. The Agency’s annual report was filed with the State prior to the October 1st deadline. The California Labor Code requires each public self-insurer to advise its governing Board within 90 days after submission of the Self-Insurers Annual Report of the total liabilities reported and whether current funding of those liabilities is in compliance with the requirements of Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Publication 10. Summary: In conjunction with this filing, AON completed an actuarial study of the Agency’s self-insured workers’ compensation program as of June 30, 2016. The study shows the Agency’s estimated outstanding losses as of the end of the prior fiscal year (FY16) for workers’ compensation total $2,600,555. Included within this amount is a factor for Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims. A comparison of the Agency’s Projected Financial Position for workers’ compensation liability over the prior fiscal year is shown below: Item 9 16 June 30, 2015 June 30, 2016 Change Incr.+/(Decr.) Assets Available $ 2,730,285 $ 2,600,555 Estimated Outstanding Losses $ 2,730,285 $ 2,600,555 - - Projected Financial Position (Assets - Estimated Outstanding Losses) $ (129,730) (129,730) - Assets Available consist of workers’ compensation case reserves currently being recognized by the Agency. Staff derives case reserve amounts from a third party administrator based on an analysis of actual claims, claim amounts, and claim severity. Agency assets set aside to cover estimated losses and claims decreased by $129,730 when comparing June 2016 to June 2015 due to favorable reserve development on FY13 - FY15 claims. Estimated Outstanding Losses are derived by AON statistical formulae based on annual claims, cost per claim, and claim severity. Overall Estimated Outstanding Losses decreased by $129,730 since last year. The decrease in estimated outstanding losses is due to favorable reserve development on FY13 - FY15 claims. Projected Financial Position equals Assets Available minus Estimated Outstanding Losses, and represents the amount of assets remaining after payment of all estimated losses and claims. In aggregate, the Agency’s Projected Financial Position is unchanged from the prior year as it is fully reserved to the expected confidence level of 55%. The confidence level is the degree of certainty an actuary holds that assets are sufficient to pay losses in five and a half of the ten years in a ten year period for both workers’ compensation. The current funding of Agency workers’ compensation liabilities is in compliance with the requirements of GASB 10. Fiscal Impact: None Recommendation: Approve and recommend this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration as follows: • Item 9 Receive and file. 17 Item 9 18 Item 9 19 Item 9 20 Item 9 21 Item 9 22 Item 9 23 Item 9 24 Item 9 25 Item 9 26 Item 9 27 Item 9 28 Item 9 29 Item 9 30 Item 9 31 Item 9 32 Item 9 33 Item 9 34 Item 9 35 Item 9 36 Item 9 37 Item 9 38 Item 9 39 Item 9 40 Item 9 41 Item 9 42 Item 9 43 Item 9 44 Item 9 45 Item 9 46 Item 9 47 Item 9 48 Item 9 49 Item 9 50 Item 9 51 Item 9 52 Item 9 53 Item 9 54 Item 9 55 Item 9 56 Item 9 57 Item 9 58 Item 9 59 Item 9 60 Item 9 61 Item 9 62 Item 9 63 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA 92507 September 7, 2016 TO: BOARD BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Vince Rouzaud, Chief Procurement and Logistics Officer SUBJECT: Authorization to Award Invitation for Bid No.16-031 to Lake Chevrolet for the Purchase of Four Stops and Zones Trucks and Four Road Call Trucks Summary: Staff is requesting authorization to award a contract to Lake Chevrolet for the purchase of eight vehicles. Four of these vehicles will be used by the maintenance department for road calls and four will be used by the stops and zones department for bus stop maintenance. The new vehicles are considered replacements for vehicles that have exceeded their useful service life as defined by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and were included in the Agency’s capital budget previously approved by the Board. On July 5, 2016, staff issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No.16-031. The procurement was publicly advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and a notice was posted on the Agency’s website along with a copy of the IFB document.

The current agreement, approved by the Board in June 2015, is due to expire on September 30, 2016. Background SunLine launched Route 220 express service in September of 2012 after discussions between the Agency, Sunline and the Riverside County Transportation Commission. The express service was designed to address unmet transportation needs as required by the Federal Transit Administration’s Job Access and Reverse Commute (“JARC”) and New Freedom (“NF”) funding programs. Since a portion of SunLine’s Route 220 overlapped the Agency’s Route 210 service between Banning and downtown Riverside, the Board authorized staff to eliminate three duplicative trips on the Route 210 and apply the associated savings towards the Agency’s share of operating expenses for SunLine’s Route 220. SunLine Route 220 originates at Town Center Way and Hahn in Palm Desert and travels to the Downtown Riverside Transit Terminal with two westbound morning trips and two eastbound afternoon trips. It operates Monday through Friday and serves nine stops along the way in Palm Desert, Thousand Palms, Casino Morongo, Beaumont, Moreno Valley, University of California at Riverside, Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station, and ends at the downtown Riverside Transit Terminal. SunLine dedicates vehicles to this service that are equipped with reclining coach seats, luggage racks, bike racks, and complimentary Wi-Fi technology. Item 11 66 The following ridership data was provided by SunLine for the period from FY13 through FY16. FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 FY16 Monthly Average 1,287 1,188 1,076 1,049 Total 12,868 * 14,258 12,915 12,592 ** * - ten months only – service commenced September 2012. ** - actual monthly average/projected total (thru April 2016– ten months) Since the current agreement is due to expire on September 30, 2016, the parties have discussed extending the agreement through January 8, 2017. This three-month extension would allow the parties to fully evaluate and consider all available options. Based on the above, staff recommends moving forward with the proposed three-month extension. Fiscal Impact: Funding has been included in the Agency’s FY17 operating budget for both our current cost-sharing agreement and the proposed three-month extension through January 8, 2017. Recommendation: Approve and recommend this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration as follows: • Item 11 Authorize staff to extend Agreement No. 12-027 with SunLine for a three-month period beginning October 1, 2016 through January 8, 2017 in an amount not to exceed $22,500. 67 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA 92507 September 7, 2016 TO: BOARD BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Vince Rouzaud, Chief Procurement and Logistics Officer SUBJECT: Authorization to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the City of Riverside for the Transfer of Property Located at 4015 and 4085 Vine Street, Riverside, California Summary: On January 22, 2015, as part of the Agency’s Comprehensive Operational Analysis, the Board approved the Downtown Riverside Operating Plan (“Operating Plan”) which modernizes transit services in downtown Riverside. The Operating Plan creates an on-street grid-system that matches existing passenger travel patterns and eliminates the need for the Agency to access the Downtown Transit Center. As part of the Operating Plan’s implementation, on May 26, 2016, the Board authorized the award of an agreement with PTM General Engineering Services for the upgrade of existing stops and construction of new bus stops at 26 downtown locations. Improvements include new bus shelters, benches, solar lighting and other customer amenities. Work is underway on this project and is scheduled for completion in January 2017. The Operating Plan also includes the development of layover space for Agency buses on Vine Street across from the Metrolink Station to replace the soon-to-be-closed Downtown Transit Center. The Vine Street property, approximately 2.4 acres, is owned by the City of Riverside (“City”) and with approval of this agreement, will be transferred to the Agency for the sum of one dollar ($1.00) plus one-half the cost of reasonable and customary title and escrow fees. Initially, the property will serve as a temporary bus layover location (Phase 1) to meet the Agency’s timeline which calls for the Agency to vacate the Downtown Transit Center by January 2017. For the long term, staff plans to conduct a needs analysis which will include conceptual site plans for eventual development into a transit center facility (Phase 2). The property transfer will also be subject to the Federal Transit Administration’s (“FTA’s”) approval to transfer the federal grant interest Item 12 68 from the Downtown Transit Center’s current location (3911 University Avenue) to the Vine Street property. Upon execution of this agreement, staff will work with the City and the FTA to formalize the property transfer. Additional provisions in the agreement include the following: • Within 10 days following the effective date of the agreement, the City will open an escrow with Stewart Title of California – Inland Empire Division, 7065 Indiana Avenue, Suite 100, Riverside, CA 92506 • The Agency will have six-months to complete its due diligence requirements which may include, but is not limited to, matters such as the physical condition of the property, title restrictions, property value and environmental. • Within six-months following the effective date of the agreement, the Agency will submit an application to the City for an encroachment permit for the development of Phase 1. • All reasonable and customary costs associated with Title and Escrow Fees shall be apportioned or allocated between the Agency and the City. Fiscal Impact: In addition to the $1 purchase price for the property, the cost for the environmental Phase 1 study and title and escrow fees is estimated to be approximately $10,000 as detailed below: Property Purchase ………………….…… $ 1 Escrow and Title Fees.………………….. $ 4,500 Phase 1 Environmental Study………….. $ 5,500 Total… $10,001 Lastly, staff is recommending a 10 percent contingency amount of $1,000 to cover any unforeseen expenses that may arise during the due diligence process. Sufficient funds to cover this request are included in the Agency’s capital budget in the form of State Transit Assistance funds (STA). Recommendation: Approve and recommend this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration as follows: Item 12 69 • Item 12 Authorize staff to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the City of Riverside for the Transfer of Property Located at 4015 and 4085 Vine Street, Riverside, California. 70 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA 92507 September 7, 2016 TO: BOARD BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer Rohan Kuruppu, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Authorization to Amend the Fiscal Year 2016/2017 (FY17) Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and Operating Budget to Include New Downtown Riverside Perris Valley Line (PVL) Shuttle Service and Costs Related to the New Metrolink PVL Schedule Background: At their May 26, 2016 meeting, the Agency Board of Directors adopted the FY17 Operating budget, Capital budget, and SRTP. These budgets, as an integral part of the SRTP, support the Agency mission and goals of providing safe, reliable, and cost effective transportation while increasing ridership and being fiscally responsible with taxpayer funds. As a reminder, the adopted FY17 Operating budget of $75,997,588 represents a ten percent increase over the FY16 Operating budget, and is compliant with the Farebox Recovery Ratio requirement. Since the inception of the fiscal year, two urgent items have presented themselves for consideration to adjust the current Boardapproved Operating budget. Summary: Item 13 The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) has asked staff to implement a new shuttle route in the downtown Riverside area to service all PVL trains stopping at the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station. Commencement of the Downtown Riverside PVL Shuttle (Route 54) is anticipated on October 3, 2016 in concert with the October 2016 Metrolink schedule adjustment. The operation of this new service will be weekdays only (excluding major holidays), consistent with the days of operation of Metrolink weekday service. Span of service is from 5:35 am to 6:45 pm to connect with all PVL trains. This represents 10.7 revenue service hours (RSH) per day with the service being provided by the Agency’s contracted fixed route operator Empire Transportation. FY17 RSH will increase by 2,059. Based on the FY17 Operating budget, the cost for these 2,059 RSH is $167,458. 71 RCTC will reimburse the Agency for 100 percent of the costs incurred to run this shuttle. As such, there will be no fare charged for this open-door service, which is also consistent with the free travel provided on RTA buses for connecting Metrolink fare-paying passengers at the Riverside Downtown Metrolink station. As RCTC is fully-subsidizing the Route 54’s operational costs, the farebox recovery for the route will be 100 percent. In addition, RCTC and Metrolink have asked staff to revise the scheduling of all fixed routes that meet the PVL at various stations in the Agency’s service area to adjust to the Metrolink schedule effective October 3rd. This equates to 94 weekday trips across the 14 routes being impacted. In most cases, the schedule adjustment per trip is approximately five minutes. However, six trips in the current service plan specifically serve PVL train connections that will no longer have any train with which to connect. These six trips will be discontinued. It should be pointed out that these trips have experienced low ridership and will be replaced by an alternative trip within 20 – 35 minutes of their current schedule. This level of route scheduling adjustment and the short reaction/turnaround was not contemplated in the Board-approved FY17 SRTP and Operating budget. The specific schedule changes related to both the implementation of Route 54 and the other Metrolink adjustments require additional marketing and scheduling services’ estimated to cost approximately $57,542. Operating Budget The FY17 adopted Operating budget is $75,997,588. The requested change discussed above will increase the FY17 Operating budget by $225,000. Thus, the new FY17 Operating Budget would be $76,222,588. An Operating Budget comparison is shown below. The comparison depicts the change in cost elements from the FY17 adopted Operating Budget to the FY17 proposed Operating Budget.

Operating Revenue LTF Measure A Federal All Other Total Adopted FY17 SRTP Operating Revenue $44,449,217 $2,804,000 $15,503,861 $13,240,510 $75,997,588 $225,000 $225,000 $13,465,510 $76,222,588 Downtown Riverside PVL Shuttle and Metrolink adjustments Proposed FY17 SRTP Operating Revenue $44,449,217 $2,804,000 $15,503,861 Farebox Recovery Ratio Impact A predetermined farebox ratio target of 17.48% was developed by Agency staff and approved by both the RCTC and Caltrans for FY17. Once the target is established, it cannot be revised. The funds provided by RCTC to provide the requested service will be 100% farebox allowable. Thus, the current budgeted FRR of 19.91% will grow by .18% to 20.09%. The proposed FY17 Operating Budget will still exceed the established target. RCTC Support RCTC Staff is requesting the Commission to approve an additional not-to-exceed of $225,000 for both the new Route 54 and the additional marketing and scheduling reflected herein. However, this request will bypass the next RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Meeting and go directly to the full Commission Meeting for approval on September 14, 2016. Should the Agency Budget and Finance Committee approve and recommend this item to the full Board of Directors as requested, it could well have full RCTC approval prior to the date of that meeting. Fiscal Impact: The adopted FY17 Operating Budget of $75,997,588 will increase by a not-to-exceed $225,000 to $76,222,588. This increase will be fully-funded by RCTC. This entire FY17 Operating budget amount is fully funded with Federal, State, local and other revenue sources. Further, with this change, the Agency will meet or exceed the mandatory Farebox Recovery Ratio target for FY17 on a budgeted basis. Item 13 73 Recommendation: Approve and recommend this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration as follows: • • • • Item 13 Authorize the proposed change to the FY17 Operating Budget, contingent upon full RCTC approval Direct staff to seek full RCTC approval of the requested changes identified in this report Direct staff to prepare appropriate amendments to the FY17 SRTP as a result of this action Direct staff to implement the changes identified in this request 74
