Measure M2 Eligibility for the City of Orange

Adriann Cardoso/Rose Casey

Overview

In 2024, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors found the City of

Orange ineligible to receive Measure M2 net revenues due to inadequate documentation

demonstrating that it had spent sufficient discretionary funds on streets and roads in fiscal

year 2022-23 to meet the Measure M2 Maintenance of effort requirement. A recent review

of the City of Orange’s Measure M2 maintenance of effort expenditures for fiscal year

2023-24 has determined that the City of Orange has met its minimum maintenance of

effort expenditure requirement, including the shortfall amount. Board of Directors’ approval

to reinstate the City of Orange’s Measure M2 eligibility status and reinitiate Measure M2

payments is recommended.

Recommendation(s)

Approve the City of Orange as eligible to receive Measure M2 net revenues.

Direct staff to reinitiate payments to the City of Orange for Measure M2 net

revenues, which were held during its period of ineligibility (less fiscal year 2023-24

audit costs).

Measure M2 Eligibility for the City of Huntington Beach

Adriann Cardoso/Rose Casey

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority’s Internal Auditor issued results of an

independent auditor’s report on applying agreed-upon procedures related to the City of

Huntington Beach’s compliance with the Measure M2 requirements for fiscal year 2023-24.

The independent auditor’s report found that the City of Huntington Beach had used

Measure M2 Local Fair Share funds for expenses that were deemed unallowable per the

Measure M2 Ordinance No. 3. Based on this information, recommendations to address

the independent auditor’s report and findings are presented.

Recommendation(s)

Seek reimbursement of $29,249 from the City of Huntington Beach and find the City

of Huntington Beach ineligible to receive Measure M2 net revenues for five years

pursuant to Section 10.4 of Ordinance No. 3.

Authorize the Internal Auditor to engage independent auditor services to apply

agreed-upon procedures to review the City of Huntington Beach’s Measure M2

Local Fair Share program and other expenditures for fiscal year 2024-25, fiscal

year 2025-26, fiscal year 2026-27, fiscal year 2027-28, and fiscal year 2028-29, to

enable the City of Huntington Beach to reestablish eligibility and authorize staff to

deduct the review costs from any future net Measure M2 payments to the City of

Huntington Beach.

Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute an agreement with

the City of Huntington Beach to formalize the required actions to reestablish

eligibility and other terms.
