These notices are provided pursuant to the Joint Powers Agreement executed by the cities and the County that established the CMA for the County.

Barry, AICP, Interim Director of Communit ��,, Development by, Steven L. Goetz, Transportation Planning Division SUBJECT: Notice of Congestion Management Agency Cost of $77, 625 for the 1997-98 Fiscal Year Val Alexeeff requested that I provide a response to your June 26 questions concerning the subject item. No. 1: How and why are we obligated to pay these costs? We are obligated to pay these costs pursuant to a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) executed by all 19 jurisdictions which established the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for the county. That JPA includes a formula for allocating the local contributions to defray the cost of the CMA function. The allocation of $77, 625 is for FY 96/97 CMA costs, not FY 97/98 CMA costs. The JPA provides for local contributions on a reimbursement basis to the CMA. : State law required each urban county in the state to establish a CMA as a condition for local jurisdictions to receive their share of the gas tax revenues generated by Proposition 111. That state mandate was modified in 1996, making the CMA function discretionary within a county. The CCTA agreed to continue the CMA function for one year to see how other county's responded to the relief of the mandate and how it affected a county's ability to influence priorities for allocating state and federal transportation funds. Consequently, the CCTA has adopted a CMA budget for FY ,97/98. The local jurisdictions' share of the cost of the CMA is budgeted at $135,841. The budget allocated 49.85% of this cost to Contra Costa County ($67,717) . No. 2: Do we acxree with the allocation formula? No, but past attempts to change it have not been successful. The formula was developed by the Public Managers Association in 1992 . The County had proposed an alternative formula which determined a local jurisdiction's share based on a combination of the revenues received from Proposition 111 and Measure C-1988. The CCTA Board did not support that alternative. At Supervisor Torlakson's recommendation, the County requested that the CCTA reconsider the formula in 1996, since few other CMAs in the state allocate the local contribution in this manner. The CCTA Board declined to change the formula. attachment cc: Members, Board of Supervisors V.
