II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. TDA funding covers 100 percent of the estimated project
costs.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONIBACKGROUND
Every year, the County can submit TDA funding applications for
three projects within the unincorporated area (one each in the
east, central and west county areas) and one joint project with
another agency.
The County will provide the right of way and the Town of Danville
will prepare the application and administer the joint project.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
With the exception of the Canal Road project, all of these
projects have had previous phases, that were funded under the TDA
program.
Failure to approve the projects and prepare the applications will
eliminate a potential funding source and delay implementation of
the County's General Plan as it relates to pathways.
