the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan to identify traffic signal
synchronization street routes and traffic signals within and across jurisdictional
boundaries, and defines the means of implementing the Regional Traffic Signal
Synchronization Program; and
WHEREAS, the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program requires that
local agencies adopt a Local Signal Synchronization Plan consistent with the Regional
Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan as a key component of local agencies' efforts
to synchronizing traffic signals across local agencies' boundaries, and
WHEREAS, the Local Signal Synchronization Plan must be updated by June 30,
2020 to continue to be eligible to receive Net Revenues as part of OCTA's Measure M2;
and
WHEREAS, "Net Revenues" is defined by OCTA in its Measure M2 Ordinance as
"[a]II of the gross revenues generated from the transactions and use tax plus any interest
or other earnings thereon (collectively, "Revenues"), after the deduction for: (i) amounts
payable to the State Board of Equalization for the performance of functions incidental to
the administration and operation of the Ordinance, (ii) costs for the administration of the
Ordinance as provided herein, (iii) two percent (2%) of the Revenues annually allocated
for Environmental Cleanup, and (iv) satisfaction of debt service requirements of all bonds
issued pursuant to the Ordinance that are not satisfied out of separate allocations, shall
be defined as 'Net Revenues' and shall be allocated solely for the transportation purposes
described in the Ordinance."
