FROM: TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
DATE: September 17 , 1990
SUBJECT: Conceptual Approval of Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for
Transpac
RECOMMENDATION
Approve in concept a draft joint exercise of powers agreement with the member
cities of Transpac, subject to technical modifications.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If approved by all member jurisdictions, the County's share of the estimated
$65, 000 annual costs for hiring of a consultant would be $10, 462 per year.
The formula for allocating costs is based on 50% equal shares and 50%
proportionate to the return to source funds received by each jurisdiction.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Transpac has been meeting for several years under the terms of a Memorandum
of Agreement in order to. coordinate transportation planning within the
central County area. Members are the Cities of Clayton',' Concord-, Martinez,
Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek and the County. With the passage 'of Measure
C, Transpac became one of the four regional transportation planning
committees (RTPC) which advises the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
Measure C assigns the RTPC's a major role in the development of action plans
for routes of regional significance.
In order to formalize its agreement and enable it to hire consultants to
assist in meeting the requirements of Measure C, Transpac has developed a
draft joint exercise of powers agreement (JPA) and has circulated it to
member agencies for review and conceptual approval. This review will be
followed by a redraft of the agreement and recirculation to the cities and
County for adoption.

Staff of the County Counsel's office and the Department of Community Development have reviewed the draft
agreement and submit the following comments:
1. The agreement should include provisions for filing required notices with the California Secretary of State.
2. Paragraph 7, page 3, entitled Overall Organization should be revised to indicate that staffs or consultants will
report to the Transpac TAC.
3. A new section should be added under Paragraph 8 describing the membership and functions of the Planning
Committee of Transpac.
4. Paragraph 8(b)(1) on page 4 is not clear regarding who appoints
planning commission representatives to Transpac and whether planning commissioners shall have alternates.
5. The JPA should describe the agenda-setting process for Transpac and which items originate from the TAC
and/or Planning Committee before being considered by Transpac.
6. In the fifth line of Paragraph 15, page 8, entitled Withdrawal, "Paragraph 11" should be revised to read
"Paragraph 13", and the sentence ended at that point. This would remove an inconsistency in the document
concerning the timing of payments to the JPA. Paragraph 13 indicates that bills shall be prepared for each
calender quarter. In this case no funds would be available for refund in the event of the withdrawal of a
member.
