SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) i BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Acknowledge receipt of the report of the County Administrator on
SB 1715 (Boatwright) which would specify funding for the BART
extensions to East County based on passage of the Bridge Toll
Increase and sales tax increase and the receipt of funds from San
Mateo County.
BACKGROUND:
On August 2, 1988 , on the recommendation of the Director of the
Community Development Department, the Board of Supervisors voted
to support SB 1715 with specified amendments which would require
BART to undertake extensions to North Concord, West Pittsburg and
Pittsburg providing the bridge toll increase and sales tax
increase passed on the ballot November 8. If these measures did ,
not pass, then BART would be required to extend BART as far as it
could with existing sources of1funding.
In its final form, SB 1715 provided that BART must undertake the
extension to West Pittsburg ori a point east of West Pittsburg if
the sales tax measure and bridge toll increase pass, and if those
sources of funding, along with existing BART reserves of $34
million, and at least an additional $74 million from the funds
provided by San Mateo County, total $425 million. If so, BART by
1991 must undertake the extension as far as the $425 million will
go. Additional provisions address the Dublin and Warm Springs
extensions in Alameda County.
