Item No. 6.J.
For Meeting of: December 5, 2017
ITEM TITLE: Resolution accepting the City of Yakima's 2018 assessment from
the Yakima Valley Conference of Governments, and authorizing
payment of the annual dues
SUBMITTED BY: DannyAgsalog, Director of Finance and Budget
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Attached is the Yakima Valley Conference of Governments' 2018 Budget. The proposed budget
was reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee at their September 18th meeting for
distribution to the YVCOG membership jurisdictions.
YVCOG is responsible for distributing the federal transportation funds dedicated to our region.
As a member, the City is eligible to be a recipient of a share of these funds. The programs for
which they are responsible include: Surface Transportation Program (STP) — approximately $3.4
million annually; Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (C MAQ) — approximately $400,000 annually;
and, Transportation Enhancement — amounts vary on a year to year basis.
The City of Yakima's assessment for 2018 will be $55,447. This reflects an increase of $3,344
over last year:
• Population: from 93,410 to 93,900; The per capita rate did increase for 2018 from $0.46
per capita to $0.48 per capita; an increase of $2,103 from $42,968 to $45,072
MPO/RTPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization/Regional Transportation Planning
Organization) assessment.
• MPO/RTPOs were authorized as part of the 1990 Growth Management Act to ensure local
and regional coordination of long-range transportation plans. This assessment is based on
the percentage share of Regional STP funds that the City receives. This assessment
increased from $9,134 to $10,375, due to an increase in the flat rate share of the overall
federal funding.
A copy of the memorandum dated September 18, 2017 and a copy of the 2018 YVCOG
consolidated proposed budget is attached for your information.

MEMORANDUM
YVCOG Membership
on, Executive Director
September 18, 2017
SUBJECT: YVCOG 2018 Budget
The YVCOG Executive Committee has recommended a 2018 Budget to be forwarded to
the General Membership for consideration during the October 18, 2017 General
Membership. A copy of the proposed budget is attached for your review.
How Your Assessment is Calculated
The Total Assessment is made up of two variables: 1) The General Assessment rate
($0.48/capita), based on OFM population for April 1 of the most current year, and 2) The
MPO/RTPO assessment. The MPO/RTPO assessment is determined by the amount of
non-tederal matching funds required of the MPO/RTPO.
Bottom Line: Why did my assessment change?
If a member's population grew, their general assessment grew, too. The difference of
non-federal required funds not recovered by the flat rate is then divided by the percentage
of population of your city, town, or county within the Yakima Valley MPO/RTPO
boundaries, to determine your assessment. The population based MPO and RTPO flat
rates are as follows:

5001 — 7000
