The proposed budget was reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee at its October 15th 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) — this year approximately $23.3 million; Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) — approximately $400,000 annually; and, Transportation Enhancement — amounts vary on a year to year basis. The City of Yakima's assessment for 2015 will be $45,136. This reflects an increase of $1,791 over last year and a decrease of $18,847 in 2013. (a) Population: increased from 92,620 to 93,080; Rates have increased from $0.40 per capita to $0.45 from the prior year; an increase of $4,838 from $37,048 to $41,886. (b) 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 decreased from $6,297 to $3,250, due to the percentage share of the overall federal funding. A copy of the letter sent to the City Manager, dated October 17, 2014, and a copy of the 2015 YVCOG Budget adopted by the YVCOG Board on October 15, 2014 are attached for your information.
