Overview  
The Orange County Transportation Authority’s Internal Auditor has released the results of  
an independent auditor’s report of the City of Orange’s compliance with the Measure M2  
eligibility requirements for fiscal year 2022-23. The independent auditor’s report found the

discretionary funds on streets and road purposes to meet the maintenance of effort  
requirement prescribed in the Measure M2 Ordinance. Based on this information,  
recommendations related the City of Orange eligibility and compliance with the Measure  
M2 Ordinance are presented.  
Recommendation(s)

Find the City of Orange an ineligible jurisdiction to receive or apply for net Measure  
M2 revenues.

Suspend net Measure M2 revenue payments to the City of Orange until the City of  
Orange can demonstrate compliance with Measure M2 eligibility requirements and  
the Board of Directors acts to find the City of Orange an eligible jurisdiction.  
C.  
Require the City of Orange to demonstrate supplemental investment of  
discretionary transportation funds equal to the amount of discretionary investment  
that was short of the maintenance of effort benchmark in the fiscal year 2022-23  
(approximately $1.12 million) as a condition of accessing suspended funds.  
D.  
E.  
Authorize the Internal Auditor to engage independent auditing services to apply  
agreed-upon procedures to assess the City of Orange’s compliance with  
maintenance of effort expenditures and authorize staff to deduct audit costs from  
any future net Measure M2 payments to the City of Orange.  
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute a settlement  
agreement with the City of Orange to correct and remedy the fiscal year 2022-23

Measure M2 Eligibility for the City of Cypress  
Adriann Cardoso/Kia Mortazavi  
Overview  
In 2023, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors found the City of  
Cypress ineligible to receive Measure M2 net revenues due to an insufficient investment of  
discretionary funds in fiscal year 2021-22 for streets and roads purposes to meet the  
Measure M2 maintenance of effort requirement. A recent accounting of the City of  
Cypress’ Measure M2 maintenance of effort expenditures for fiscal year 2022-23 found  
that the City of Cypress has met its minimum maintenance of effort expenditure  
requirement, including the shortfall amount. The Orange County Transportation Authority  
Board of Directors is being asked to consider reinstating the City of Cypress’ Measure M2  
eligibility status.  
Recommendation(s)  
A.  
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate, execute, and amend the  
settlement agreement with the City of Cypress to reduce the term to deliver the  
maintenance of effort requirement to one year and remove an audit requirement for  
fiscal year 2023-24.  
B.  
C.  
Approve the City of Cypress eligible to receive Measure M2 net revenues upon  
execution of the amended settlement agreement.  
Direct staff to reinitiate payments to the City of Cypress for Measure M2 net  
revenues, which were held during its period of ineligibility (less fiscal year 2022-23  
audit costs) within ten days of execution of the amended settlement agreement.

Francesca Ching/Kia Mortazavi  
Overview  
The Orange County Transportation Authority’s Internal Auditor issued results of an  
independent auditor’s report related to the City of Buena Park’s compliance with the  
Measure M2 requirements for fiscal year 2022-23. The independent auditor’s report found  
that the City of Buena Park could not sufficiently support their use of Measure M2 Local  
Fair Share funds related to indirect labor charges thereby resulting in the use of the funds  
being disallowed. Based on this information, recommendations to address the  
independent auditor’s report finding are presented.  
Recommendation(s)  
A.  
Seek reimbursement of $387,576 from the City of Buena Park and find the City of  
Buena Park ineligible to receive Measure M2 net revenues for five years pursuant to  
Section 10.4 of Ordinance No. 3.  
B.  
Authorize the Internal Auditor to engage independent auditing services to apply  
agreed-upon procedures to review the City of Buena Park’s Measure M2 Local Fair  
Share program and other expenditures for fiscal year 2023-24, fiscal year 2024-25,  
fiscal year 2025-26, fiscal year 2026-27, and fiscal year 2027-28 to enable the City  
of Buena Park to reestablish eligibility and authorize staff to deduct the review costs  
from any future net Measure M2 payments to the City of Buena Park.  
C.  
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute a settlement  
agreement with the City of Buena Park to formalize the required actions to  
reestablish eligibility and other terms.
