Chapter 4. Metropolitan Transportation Commission Administration Of Adopted County Transportation Expenditure Plan of California Public Utilities Code >> Division 12.5. >> Chapter 4.

Upon approval of a retail transactions and use tax at an election conducted pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 131100) in a county with an adopted county transportation expenditure plan that provides that the commission shall administer the tax, the commission shall do all of the following:
  (a) Appoint an advisory committee, as provided in the plan, whose members shall be compensated at the rate of fifty dollars ($50) for attending meetings of the advisory committee, but not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) in any month, and necessary traveling and personal expenses incurred in the performance of his or her duties as authorized by the commission. Members of the staff of the commission, as determined by the commission, shall be available to assist the advisory committee in its work.
  (b) Do any and all things necessary to carry out purposes of this chapter.

The commission, with the advice of the advisory committee, shall determine the allocation of the net revenues derived from the imposition of the retail transactions and use tax in conformance with the adopted county transportation expenditure plan.

The commission shall prepare and adopt an annual report by January 1 of each year on the progress to achieve the objectives of completion of the projects in each county transportation expenditure plan that is administered by the commission.

Any amendment to a county transportation expenditure plan proposed by the commission is subject to approval by the advisory committee. An amendment which adds or deletes a project, or is of major significance, shall be submitted for approval in the same manner the adopted plan was approved pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 131050). Amendments may provide for the use of additional federal, state, and local funds to account for unexpected revenue fluctuations or to take into consideration unforeseen circumstances. Any amendment shall take into account that all appropriate actions shall be taken to give highest priority to the projects in the initial plan, and any amendments shall not delay or delete any project in the initial plan without the approval of the project sponsor.
