The Transportation Agency has fiduciary responsibility for the administration of the voter-approved Transportation Safety and Investment Plan (Measure X) funds. Each jurisdiction entered into a tax sharing agreement with the Transportation Agency in order to receive their share of Measure X Local Streets & Roads revenues. In exchange, these agreements require the jurisdictions to submit audit reports annually to the Transportation Agency detailing the steps taken to comply with the implementing ordinance.

In accordance with the Policies & Project Descriptions for the Transportation Safety & Investment Plan, an Oversight Committee representing a diverse range of community interests was formed. The Measure X Transportation Oversight Committee established a subcommittee to conduct the review of the independent audits of the revenues and expenditure of Measure X funds. The subcommittee was tasked with preparing the FY21/22 Measure X Annual Report.

The fifth year of Measure X reporting, for fiscal year 2021/22, was due on December 31, 2022. For this year's independent audits, there has again been a marked improvement in compliance by the jurisdictions from the previous reporting period. All of the jurisdictions submitted their complete reports by the deadline with the exception of Greenfield and Salinas. After an initial review of the reports, Agency staff has reached out to request more information from Sand City regarding not meeting their maintenance of effort requirement.

The reports received from the jurisdictions can be found in the web attachment link at the bottom of this staff report and a summary of the compliance review is included in the table below:
