Gentlemen:
Recently the West County Mayors met to discuss the Contra
Costa County Transportation Advisory Committee which was recently
established by the Board of Supervisors.
From previous briefings about the Transportation Committee,
it was our understanding that the Committee would perform only as
an advocate for the county's transportation needs.
Our review of Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 83/1140
gives us concern that the duties of the Transportation Committee
may go well beyond the advocate position.
The Mayors of West Contra Costa County have been satisfied
with the existing City/County Engineering Advisory Committee in
their determination of the transportation needs and priorities of
this county. We feel that their input to the Board of Supervisors
and the cities of this county should not be impeded by another
layer of government.
In addition, Resolution 83/1140 does not clearly define the
reporting responsibilities of the Technical Advisory Committee.
In the future, would this Committee continue to report recommenda-
tions to the Board of Supervisors or to the Transportation Advisory
Committee?
We would be happy to meet with you at your convenience concern-
ing our views regarding this matter.
Very truly yours, 6d 0 ,�i.,a�
