Transportation Committee Report -- Transportation Partnership
Proposal
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
The Transportation Committee (Supervisor Schroder and Supervisor
Torlakson) has reviewed and discussed this item at its July 13th and
27th meetings. The Transportation Committee anticipates that Board
action of sending a letter to the Conference of Mayors signed by the
County' s City/County Liaison Committee (Supervisors McPeak and
Powers) for clarification and expansion of the Regional Planning
Committee voting membership and structure will be successful. The
Transportation Committee recommends that:
1. The Chair of the Board of Supervisors appoint two members of the
Board to the Transportation Partnership Commission and that the
Chair be authorized to send a letter to the Conference of Mayors
indicating the Board' s representation for both the
Transportation Partnership Commission and the Regional Planning
Committees. Supervisor Schroder has indicated that he will
decline the opportunity to serve as one of the two members on
the Transportation Partnership Commission as he already serves
on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
2. The Board of Supervisors should appoint two Board members to
each of the four Regional Planning Committees of the
Transportation Partnership Commission. The Transportation
Committee recommends that the following appointments be made:
West County Regional Planning Committee -- Supervisors Fanden and
Powers
East County Regional Planning Committee -- Supervisors McPeak and
Torlakson

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
1. & 2. The appointment of the Board members to the Transportation
Partnership Commission and the regional planning committees
by itself will not result in an impact on the County. The
cost of technical staff and administrative functions,
however, for the Transportation Partnership Commission will
be the first item on the agenda for discussion by the new
Commission.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
1 . & 2 . The need for a Countywide forum and regional planning
committees to discuss the transportation problems and needs
of the County and specific areas of the County is
recognized by all parties to be essential. This new
Commission would replace the Contra Costa Transportation
Advisory Committee which was allowed to sunset in January
1987 . If the suggested schedule proposed by the Conference
of Mayors is to be met in preparing a regional
transportation improvement program and financial plan, then
the Board needs to act on this item in a timely manner.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
1. If the Board does not act upon this matter, then the Board will
not have its two members providing input at the first meeting of
the Transportation Partnership Commission. This lack of input
will deprive the Commission of the County' s perspective and
understanding of the transportation concerns and issues. It will
also prevent the Commission from giving full consideration to
the need for technical staff , administrative staff and how the
Commission' s members should fund of this complex endeavor.
2 . Lack of action will delay and/or inhibit the County on the
regional level in commenting upon the specific needs and
concerns of the unincorporated areas in the four geographical
Regional Planning Committees.
