RECOMMENDATION
title

body
BACKGROUND
In order for the County to remain eligible to receive Measure T funding the County must meet Napa Countywide Road Maintenance Act requirements. The Act requires “Measure T Equivalent” funding (i.e. investment into the Construction of Class 1 bike paths) to be identified on an annual basis. Additionally, Napa County must inform NVTA-TA annually that it has met its Maintenance of Effort (MOE) expenditures in the previous fiscal year. This requirement is met through resolutions adopted by the Board of Supervisors (Board) and submitted to the Napa Valley Transportation Authority by January 31, of each calendar year. The proposed resolutions will be the final reports for Measure T. Future reports will reference Measure U, which was implemented on July 1, 2025.
Napa County met its MOE expenditures during the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The required level of effort was $1,257,107 and the actual level of effort (funds committed through the general fund to roads) was $5,000,000. The resolution and back-up documentation showing how the County met the commitment are attached.
For the County to receive Measure T revenues, the County, collectively with all other County jurisdictions, must demonstrate that at least 6.67% of the amount of Measure T revenues (henceforth referred to as the “Equivalent Funds”) received each year is being committed to Class I bike facilities identified in the adopted Countywide Bicycle Plan/Active Transportation Plan, using funds not derived from the Measure T ordinance. The resolution and back-up documentation showing how the County met the Equivalent Funds requirements are attached.
Requested Action:
1. Adoption of a Resolution confirming commitment of funding for Class 1 bike paths; and
2. Adoption of a Resolution confirming expenditures to meet the County’s Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirement for Measure T.
