UNDERSTANDING FY 93-94
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
The voters of the County of Los Angeles approved by majority vote Proposition C, an
ordinance establishing a one-half percent sales tax for public transit purposes on
November 6, 1990. The City of Santa Clarita Transit is an eligible operator and as such, in
order to mitigate the recession revenue shortfall, will receive grant funds from Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the responsible administrator of the
tax.
The funds in the amount of $138,445 will be disbursed in twelve monthly payments of
$11,537.08 after the City submits an invoice. Of this funding amount, $87,368 had
previously been included in the budget, therefore, at this time we are adjusting for additional
funds.
