5. MEASURE M2 FAIRSHARE ANNUAL EXPENDITURE REPORT
The Local Transportation Authority Ordinance No. 3 requires the City to adopt an annual Expenditure Report to account for the Net Revenues, developer/traffic impact fees, and funds expended by the City, which satisfy the Maintenance of Effort (MOE). The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) established the MOE benchmark in conjunction with passage of the original Measure M. MOE is a requirement that the City expend local funds on transportation related projects each fiscal year in order to be eligible to receive Measure M2 Fairshare funds; the City's required MOE expenditure for Fiscal Year 2019- 20 is $1,455,691. The required MOE expenditure for Fiscal Year 2020-21 has increased by $241,354 to $1,697,045.
