Measure T Citizens' Oversight Committee Annual Report

Measure T Citizens' Oversight Committee 2022 Annual Report to the Public

To the Residents of Madera County

The Measure T Citizens’ Oversight Committee is pleased to announce the findings of the review of fiscal year 2022 Measure T revenues and expenditures. In the fifteenth year of the Measure T program, revenues totaled $15.966 million. Construction and engineering work continued on many regional and local projects. The local agencies spent over $3.444 million on local projects including road rehabilitation, maintenance, transit, and pedestrian/bicycle facility projects. Expenditures on regional projects totaled $5.026 million. The $7.496 million of unspent funds were reserved for future projects, such as the Avenue 7 Rehab and Olive Street Widening projects.

The City of Madera continued to spend funds on the Fresno River Trail Undercrossing project as well as on funds to install sidewalks on Schnoor Avenue and around Washington Elementary. The City of Chowchilla began work on the Humboldt Storm Drainage and Street Rehab project as well as continued preliminary environmental work on the SR 233 Interchange Operational Improvement project in partnership with Caltrans. The County of Madera continued construction work on the Oakhurst Midtown Connector (River Parkway Road) project as well as began construction work on the Road 200 Finegold Creek Bridge project. In partnership with the Army Corp of Engineers, the County began construction work on the Avenue 26 Rehab project.

The Measure T financial statements for the fiscal year 2022 were audited by independent auditing firms with no significant deficiencies identified. The audited financial statements can be viewed at the Madera County Transportation Authority website. It should be noted that the audits were completed later than normal thus creating a delay in issuing this annual report. We expect that future audits will be completed in a timelier manner.

The Committee has reviewed the audited Measure T Financial Statements and reports of the independent auditors from July 2021 to June 2022 and received testimony from the auditors at a Committee meeting. The Committee concurs that Measure T expenditures are in accordance with the Measure T program.

Measure T continues to serve as a crucial source of local infrastructure investment including leveraging state and federal funds for the Madera County region. The Committee looks forward to continue working with the community to ensure the ongoing success of the Measure T Program.
