RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT FISCAL YEAR 2014 -15 AND FUTURE ANNUAL
TRANSPORTATION FUND FOR CLEAN AIR (TFCA) FUNDING FROM THE

TRANSIT MARKETING PROJECTS AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE GRANT AGREEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Petaluma is an eligible project sponsor and may receive funding
from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) now or sometime in the future for transit
projects; and
WHEREAS, the statutes related to SCTA and Bay Area Air Quality Management
District (BAAQMD) locally and regionally funded transit projects require a local or regional
implementing agency to abide by various regulations; and
WHEREAS, Petaluma was always eligible to apply for the competitive portion of the
SCTA - controlled TFCA funding along with other communities that lacked transit systems, but
unable to receive a stable annual apportionment of funds to support transit marketing efforts like
all other jurisdictions in the County that operate their own transit systems; and
WHEREAS, Petaluma Transit is strongly supported by the City Council and the City
Council supported efforts to establish equality in the distribution of TFCA funds among the 3
transit systems in Sonoma County, accordingly SCTA was approached to modify its policy to
provide stable TFCA funding for Petaluma Transit as it does for Sonoma County Transit and
Santa Rosa CityBus; and
WHEREAS, the SCTA Board of Directors voted on December 9, 2013 to modify TFCA
Program Management policy to include the City of Petaluma into the annual off -the -top
apportionment to local transit operators to support enhanced transit marketing efforts and reward
Petaluma for recent transit system improvements, effective in FY 14/15; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to delegate authorization to execute these
documents for FY 15/16 and future fiscal years thereto to the City Manager.
