DATE; Action on February 2., 1988
SUBJECT: Explore Feasibility of Contra Costa County Co " '�7
Involvement in New Governance of AC Transit
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AAD JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Declare willingness of the Board of Supervisors to explore
the feasibility of Contra Costa County participating in a
new or reorganized governance of AC Transit, including
studying the proposal by Assemblywoman Delaine Eastin for a
two-county joint exercise of powers agreement between
Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Further, designate Supervisor Tom Powers to represent the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in state meetings
or local negotiations to discuss and explore the options for
alternative governance.
BACKGROUND
Assemblyman Robert Campbell has asked us to analyze a
proposal by Assemblywoman Delaine Eastin regarding the
governance of AC Transit.
Assemblywoman Eastin has proposed that the feasibility of a
two-county JPA (Alameda and Contra Costa) to operate AC
Transit be studied. She has asked Contra Costa County to
indicate whether or not we would be willing to participate
in discussions to look at this option. While it is
premature to make a final decision now regarding this
concept, it is appropriate for us to work with the
Legislature and Alameda County to look at alternative
governance structures for addressing the current operational
problems at AC Transit. It is important for our taxpayers
and commuters to ensure the best service possible from AC
Transit.
It should be further noted that the workers at AC Transit
must be kept in full communication about all the issues. We
are concerned that the current represented employees are not
negatively impacted because of unfortunate management
problems.
