Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Credit Agreement Reconciliation Update Daniel Ramirez-Cornejo provide an update on an effort by TUMF consultant, WSP, to review all TUMF Credit Agreements, which began in early 2017. WRCOG had never conducted a comprehensive review of all executed TUMF Credit Agreements between member agencies and developers. Staff has often received questions regarding the total amount of TUMF improvements constructed through the credit process. Three main takeaways from the review of Credit Agreements are 1) the total amount of TUMF improvements delivered is $136 million; 2) the total amount of TUMF obligations for Credit Agreements is $166 million; and 3) the total amount of TUMF reimbursements to developers is $23 million. A technical memo was prepared by WSP, which provided key highlights of the review and recommendations from TUMF Credit Agreements moving forward. Bob Morin, WSP, presented recommendations for consideration by WRCOG which included 1) a clear and detailed description of improvements to be completed by developers; 2) an expiration date or sunset clause would benefit the credit process and would avoid WRCOG having to refund developers that were not aware of existing agreement; 3) a template of Exhibit A (Legal Description) of the Credit Agreement for consistency; 4) engineers cost of TUMF improvements as an exhibit to the Credit Agreement; and 5) close out documentation from the respective member jurisdiction in which TUMF improvements are completed. Christopher Gray mentioned that staff would prefer to include a sunset clause in the TUMF Credit Agreement template so that an agreement does not remain active for a substantial amount of time. Committee member Jeffrey Smith asked about the current process for termination of agreements. Mr. Gray responded that there currently is no termination clause in the Credit Agreement, only a general statement regarding the performance of the improvements. Committee member Patricia Romo indicated that including a sunset clause would be beneficial for periods after Nexus Study updates and projects are removed from the TUMF Program. 2 Chairman Vela asked if staff have discussed what a reasonable amount of time would be for a Credit Agreement to expire. Mr. Gray responded that staff have discussed a potential expiration date between five and ten years after execution of the Credit Agreement. Committee member Kris Jenson mentioned that an expiration date between five and ten years could be difficult for larger developments that have a build-out of multi-decades. Mr. Gray responded that the language could potentially be geared towards a time of performance clause. Mr. Ramirez-Cornejo provided a series of questions to the Committee for discussion including whether WRCOG should be 1) collecting
