and the Bay Area 1991 Clean Air Plan; and
WHEREAS, consistent with State legislation -the Transportation Fund for Clean Air program
was created that calls for a county program manager to be designated by resolutions adopted by the
county board of supervisors and the city councils of a majority of the cities representing a majority of
the population in the incorporated areas of Sonoma County that are within the Bay Area Quality
%Management District; and
WHEREAS, the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) is the countywide agency
responsible for transportation planning and programming in Sonoma County and has served as the
program manager since 1992; and
WHEREAS, the SCTA has developed a programming process for the Transportation Fund for
Clean Air program that meets the needs of on -going programs and addresses the need for a

WHEREAS, to insure the continuation of existing ongoing programs, the SCTA shall continue
to allocate TFCA funds to the County of Sonoma and the City of Santa Rosa on a population basis;
and

shall establish a formula for the expenditure of TFCA funds in an annual resolution and that resolution

and the remaining TFCA funds shall be made available on a competitive basis to the other eligible
jurisdictions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that should the competitive funds go un- programmed to the
other eligible jurisdictions in a given fiscal year, they will be available for programming to eligible
