SUBJECT: East Contra Costa Transit Authority-Reimbursement Agreement
Bud Murphy, Contra Costa County Flood Control, in responding to a
letter from the East Contra Costa Transit Authority, objecting to
conditions in a proposed reimbursement agreement for part of the
improvements that they constructed when they built their new bus
terminal on Wilbur in Antioch, commented that Drainage Area 56
operates under a policy which has an item in it that says under
reimbursement agreements, any payments that are not paid within the
first forty quarters or ten years are no longer an obligation against
the district, and that this is a practice that has been carried
forward since the first drainage areas. He commented that the strict
application of the current policy would be to have the forty quarter
time limit apply and that the staff recommendation is to hold to that
policy and that staff report back to Tri Delta that that is the
position.
Anne Drew, 801 Wilbur, Antioch, Manager representing the Board of
Directors of East Contra Costa Transit Authority, requested an
exemption for the Transit District from the clause relative to the
forty quarters; but advised that the rest of the agreement is
satisfactory.
Supervisor Torlakson suggested that it would be appropriate to
also exempt other taxing agencies from the forty quarters or ten year
expiration date reimbursement obligation, and recommended that staff
be directed to develop appropriate language and that the Board
conceptually agree to the exemption idea which would answer the
District' s needs. He moved to conceptually support the idea of other
government agencies to not have the forty quarters limit apply, and
to request staff to develop the appropriate language and report back
to the Board at the earliest opportunity available.
Supervisor Powers questioned the Board making a distinction
between government agencies and private developers.
Supervisor Schroder expressed concern for setting a double
standard between the private sector and the public sector.
Supervisor McPeak seconded the motion.
' Supervisor Schroder recommended referring to the Internal
Operations Committee the issue of the policy of reimbursement.
The Board discussed the matter.
Victor Westman, County Counsel, suggested a modification of
policy whereby until they start to share in the fees, the ten year
period does not start to run.
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the request by East
Contra Costa Transit Authority for exemption from certain provisions

Control and Water Conservation District; he is REQUESTED to develop a

reimbursement is REFERRED to the Internal Operations Committee.
