Have Pooled Interest? In FY 15, pooled Interest Income was presented after the ‘Subtotal TransNet Extension’ line Changing presentation/location for FY 2016 and onwards
Have Pooled Interest? New Requirement for FY 2016 and onwards: Split Pooled LSI Interest = 70% to Congestion Relief & 30% to Maintenance $11,225 x 70% $7,857.50 $11,225 x 30% $3,367.50
Why Change Pooled Interest? • TransNet Extension Ordinance requires interest to be earned on funds held at local jurisdiction • SANDAG Board Policy No. 031, Rule #6 allows the pooling of interest • Cities and County AUP 8 reports LSI balances for Congestion Relief & Maintenance • Interest earned on project funds should be reported in the procedures
Have Grants, an Interest line, GASB 31, and/or Non-TransNet? If your Schedule has old TransNet then you will have a combined Total line
Have Grants, an Interest line, GASB 31, and/or Non-TransNet? GASB 31 always goes after the final Total TransNet
Have Grants, an Interest line, GASB 31, and/or Non-TransNet? Non-TransNet is always last
Have Grants, an Interest line, GASB 31, and/or Non-TransNet? Remember your ‘grand’ total to incorporate everything! Pay attention to formatting!
Gather Data • Locate Programmed Projects in the RTIP • Run systems reports to determine: • Revenue received • Interest earned • Expenditures • Determine if prior year data requires adjustments
Populate your Schedule Now that you’ve set up your Schedule and have gathered all data, begin populating the report • Remember to check the RTIP and/or Council/Board dockets for authorization when moving funds or when the 6/30/18 ending balance is negative
Adjustments Moving funds between same MPO ID: • No additional approval required • Considered same project; even if different CIPs • No footnote needed if within same section on Schedule • If moving from old TransNet I to TransNet Extension on the Schedule (same MPO ID): • Can only move funds/expenditures forward (to Extension) • Include footnote to clarify movement between sections on Schedule
Adjustments If moving from old TransNet I to TransNet Extension on the Schedule: Can only move activity forward This Adjustment represents moving unspent TI revenue to TII
Adjustments If moving from old TransNet I to TransNet Extension on the Schedule: Can only move activity forward This Adjustment represents moving excess expenditures from TI to TII
Adjustments Why can’t I move TII (Extension) funds to cover expenditures in the old TI section? • Two different Ordinances; TI should have been phased out or in the process of phasing out • Once all TI funds are spent, the only option is funding from the Extension • TI activity is not included in Schedule B ‘Cumulative’ Schedule • ITOC has responsibility to review all TII activity, which must be included in Schedule B
Adjustments Moving funds between different MPO IDs: • Authorization is required • Either RTIP or Council/Board approval • Always check with SANDAG for RTIP Amendments • Footnote is required • Include highest level of authorization • If Adjustment includes multiple movements, provide detailed footnote
Adjustments Moving funds between different MPO IDs & can’t find authorization: • Determine if RTIP Amendment is needed • Schedule Council/Board date for next RTIP open cycle • Determine if Council/Board approval (only) is needed • Schedule Council/Board docket Important to take action early in audit process to meet timeline
Adjustments I’m going to use another funding source for my overage (negative ending balance) • May need to move expenditure from the TransNet section to a Non-TransNet section • No authorization is needed • If FY is still open, okay to move expenditure out of Fund & submit updated G/L to auditors
Do I need an RTIP Amendment? For more information regarding RTIP Amendment, please see: “RTIP Amendment PPT FY19”
Footnotes • Footnotes are required when: • Negative ending balance for MPO ID • Adjustments between different MPO IDs • Adjustments between same MPO ID only if between TI and TII
Footnotes • Should be grammatically correct • Include enough detail so reader will understand message • If moving funds from or to multiple projects, list detail (reader should understand what is happening) • Include highest level of authorization (RTIP is highest level) • Provide auditors with documentation substantiating amounts (i.e. Council Reso; RTIP Amend, prior year adjustment)
Footnotes • Examples of acceptable Footnotes: • The City obtained Council approval via R-3002018. • Transfer between same MPO ID. • RTIP Amendment 18-01 scheduled in April 2019 was submitted.
