Issue Detail: The Barden, et al., v. City of Sacramento class action lawsuit was settled effective January 1, 2004. A primary provision of the settlement agreement requires the City to expend an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of its annual "Transportation Funds" (defined as eligible Measure A and Gas Tax funds) on removing or ameliorating obstacles in the public rights-of-way. The obligation under the Barden settlement agreement lasts 30 years from the above effective date.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the City agreed to submit to Barden's Class Counsel a Prospective Plan each year specifying how the City is proposing to spend the Annual Obligation during the upcoming year. The Barden Settlement Agreement requires the City to remove or ameliorate obstacles in the pedestrian right-of-way and to submit to the Barden Class Counsel an annual Prospective Plan of accessibility improvements. In compliance with the settlement agreement, staff prepared the FY2019/20 ADA Prospective Plan. City Council approval of the FY2019/20 Prospective Plan is needed prior to its submittal to the Class Counsel.
The City's estimated FY2019/20 Annual Obligation is approximately $5,111,800. The FY2019/20 Prospective Plan expenditures are estimated to be $5,657,000.
