| TO: | HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS |
| FROM: | JIM SADRO, CITY MANAGER By: Jack Ponvanit, Deputy Director of Finance |
| SUBJECT: | APPROVE A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE ANNUAL MEASURE M2 (M2) EXPENDITURE REPORT
|
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council APPROVE AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. CC 2025-___ ENTITLED: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA, CONCERNING THE MEASURE M2 (M2) EXPENDITURE REPORT FOR THE CITY OF LA HABRA.
DISCUSSION:
In 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, a 20-year half-cent local transportation sales tax program to support local transportation projects. Measure M was scheduled to expire in 2010; however, in November 2006, Orange County voters approved a Renewed Measure M (M2), which extended the tax for an additional 30 years, effectively providing a multi-billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M program.
Each year, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) determines if a local jurisdiction is eligible to continue receiving its M2 Fair Share and competitive funds. In order to receive M2 funds, OCTA's Local Transportation Authority Ordinance No. 3 requires local jurisdictions adopt an Annual Expenditure Report that accounts for net revenues, development/traffic impact fees, and funds expended by the local jurisdictions to satisfy the program's requirements. The Expenditure Report must be adopted each year by each local jurisdiction's council/board and submitted to OCTA annually within six months of the end of the fiscal year in order for that jurisdiction to be eligible to continue receiving net revenues as part of Renewed Measure M2.
This year's Expenditure Report (attached) for the City of La Habra is for the 12-month period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
