In addition, Legacy HUTA continues in a long term revenue decline due to vehicle fuel efficiencies. CSAC projects 8% average decrease a year in HUTA. In sum, Alameda County’s overall gas tax is expected to decline by $8M year over year, from FY15 $33M level to FY16 $25M estimate. Funding Challenges in selected Flood Zones, such as Zone 2. Currently working on strategies to obtain voter approval for assessment increases. Unfunded mandates. The State is continuing to require local governments to take on more responsibility relative to the federal Clean Water Act than the act itself actually requires. Regulatory agencies that do not respond to and/or issue necessary permits within their legislative timeframes are causing major delays in project delivery. 24 THANK YOU! 25
