FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact. Approval and adoption of the CRIPP will provide a planning document that will outline the anticipated expenditures of road related capital funds in the next seven years. The CRIPP is a working document that programs funds for capital road improvement projects within the County. Preparation of the CRIPP is a requirement of the Growth Management Program and Measure J funding. BACKGROUND: The CRIPP was established by Resolution 89/306 under the County Road Improvement Policy. The Policy was authorized by Government Code Section 66002 and is required under the Growth Management Element of the Contra Costa Transportation and Growth Management Program Ordinance approved by the voters in November 1988 (Measure APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 06/05/2012 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Mary N.

ATTESTED: June 5, 2012 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C. 2 To:Board of Supervisors From:Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Comm Date:June 5, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:Capital Road Improvement and Preservation Program for Fiscal Year 2011/2012 to 2017/2018 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) C-88) and reaffirmed in 2004 with passage of Measure J. Measure J requires that each participating local agency develop a five-year CRIPP to meet and/or maintain traffic service and performance standards. In 1991, the CRIPP was expanded to cover seven years to conform to the Congestion Management Plan, and in 1992 the CRIPP update was changed to a biennial schedule. The Capital Road Improvement & Preservation Program (CRIPP) is a programming document for the funding of capital road improvement projects within Contra Costa County. It includes estimated project costs, funding source information, and scheduling information for known potential projects within the next seven fiscal years. It also includes revenue projections and a summary of estimated project-related expenditures for each funding source. Approval of the CRIPP by the Board of Supervisors does not automatically approve each individual project listed in the CRIPP. Each project in the CRIPP is subject to a separate public review, engineering feasibility analysis, and environmental assessment before the Board of Supervisors will consider final approval of the project. As this is a planning level document, adoption of the CRIPP will not preclude construction of projects that have not been identified. As more information is gathered about a project, the Public Works Department may determine that the project will cost more than originally estimated for reasons not known at this time. In such a case the Public Works Department will study various alternatives to find a solution to the funding shortfall. The Public Works Department will adjust subsequent CRIPPs to reflect any changes in project scope or cost. Adopting a CRIPP to guide our capital improvements will do several things for the County: • Increase public awareness of how and where funds will be spent on our road system. • Enhance public trust and increase funding transparency by demonstrating that funds are programmed and expended in accordance with an approved program. • Encourage more public involvement in the programming and expenditure of our capital funds. • Provide accurate “accountability” of whether our transportation system will meet acceptable level of service to satisfy our growth management policies. • Provide a basis for projecting staffing needs over the next seven years. • Provide a budget tool to track expenditures of each type of funding utilized for capital improvements. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to approve the CRIPP could adversely affect the schedule of road improvements for the next seven years as this document provides direction for project planning and staff requirements in the coming years. Measure J and the County’s proposed growth management policy requires adoption of a CRIPP be enacted to meet the anticipated needs of new development impacts on the roadway systems. Without an approved CRIPP, the County will not be able to fulfill this requirement, which would jeopardize our Measure J return to source funding. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.

The project regarding the intersection at Stone Valley Road and Danville Boulevard is not included in the Capital Road Improvement and Preservation Program (CRIPP), is not funded, will not be included; the item (Project 5) is on the Area of Benefit (AOB) project listing. Ms. Bueren explained that in order for it to be removed from the AOB Project list, a public hearing must be held, a nexus study performed and the relevant ordinance amended. The cost of the nexus study is estimated to be at least $100,000, which will most likely be taken from the AOB funds. ATTACHMENTS 2011-2018 CRIPP
