The City of Medford accounts for each of these revenue sources by placing them into one of five specific
street im provem ent funds: These funds and their prim ary uses are sum marized below:
1. State Gas Tax Fund - finances capital im provem ents, bond pay ments and personnel costs. This fund
is often used for the “local m atch” required f unds from various state and federal grant program s.
2. Street Utility Fee Fund - finances only maintenance and preservation, including associated
personnel costs.
3. System Development Charge (SDC) Fund - assessed on new developm ent and can be used only for
capital im provem ents.
4. Street Bond Fund - used only for capital im provem ents on the 17-project list, this revenue source
was authorized by City Council several y ears ago and is largely depleted.
5. Street Construction Fund - applied mainly to capital im provem ents but can also be used for
maintenance and preservation. The street constr uction fund is accum ulated from a variety of grant
program s, fees and fund transfers. Grant program s include federal congestion m anagem ent and air
quality (CMAQ) grants, federal block grants, and various sm aller ODOT grant program s. Inter-
jurisdictional transfers (including those from ODOT and Jackson County for fiber optic cable
installation and to cover the cost of urban upgrades for County roads coming to the City) are
included, as are contributions from private developers for streetlights and street signs, and developer
shares of specific street im provem ents. Funds from MURA, the City ’s redevelopm ent agency , are
also included in the street construction fund for partial funding of im provem ents within the downtown
core area.
