Valley Metro Light Rail FY2027 Funding Agreement Review
Council reviewed the proposed $21.1 million gross cost ($18.28 million net after fare revenues) funding agreement for FY2027 light rail operations, representing a $3.2 million increase over FY2026. The agreement covers Mesa's 16% share of the regional light rail system spanning approximately 5.5 miles in Mesa. City Attorney confirmed exiting the joint powers agreement would require super-majority approval from other member cities and failure to pay results in 12% interest penalties.
- Subject to federal Prop 400/479 transition requirements; includes $1 million for future project development and $300,000 for system-wide improvements not covered under Prop 479
