The task order agreement with\nTYLin International to identify the locations and develop the Impact\nReport and Use Policy is funded by Measure M Local Return Fund for\na total cost not to exceed $500,000. Front funding for the speed\nenforcement program operator was appropriated in the FY26 budget\nwith $589,262 from the Measure R Local Return Fund and\n$4,185,912 through the Measure M Local Return Fund. Additional\nfront-funding for the speed system operator contract may need to be\nidentified for Fiscal Year (FY) 26 or FY27 depending on final annual\ncontract estimates; any funding needs will be included with the\nforthcoming request for speed safety operator contract approval. The\nlegislation specifies that revenues derived from the program shall first\nbe used to recover program costs, including the aforementioned\ncontract costs, followed by traffic calming measures. The DOT will\ndevelop an expenditure plan for program cost recovery and an\nassociated traffic-calming program as part of its annual budget cycle\nor, as necessary, during the mid-year Financial Status Report. The\nDOT anticipates full cost recovery in each operating year of the pilot\nprogram. Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief\nLegislative Analyst have completed a financial analysis of this report.
