SUBJECT: Proposed Legislation SB 878 and
AB 2329 - Transportation Issues
Supervisor Tom Powers advised the Board that on May 22,
1985 the Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (CCTAC) had
voted to endorse Senator Boatwrightrs transportation bill , SB 878, as
amended to go forward with a simple Transportation Commission that
would place before the voters a half cent sales tax for specific
transportation capital improvements . He noted that the amended bill
has no other powers and is in the form recommended by the City/County
Engineers Association of California .
Supervisor Powers stated that the issue of representation
on the Transportation Commission has not been fully resolved , and
suggested that the bill be reviewed by the Board and Community
Development Director to determine if further changes should be
recommended .
Supervisor powers recommended that the Board support both
the Boatwright bill as amended and AB 2329 (Sterling) which is a
back-up bill to SB 878.
Supervisor Tom Torlakson advised that the Concord City
Council and the Pittsburg City Council had voted to endorse SB 878.
He noted that there were some excellent suggestions that had come
out of the Pittsburg City Council meeting on possible further improve-
ment of the legislation and he requested that the Community Development
Director consider those in his review of the bill .
Supervisor Robert I . Schroder stated that with respect to
the composition of the Commission, he believed that it would be
inappropriate for anyone other than elected representatives to make
recommendations .
There being no further discussion, IT IS BY THE BOARD
ORDERED that a position of support on the proposed amended legislation
SB 878 is ADOPTED .
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a position of support on proposed
legislation AB 2329 (Sterling) is ADOPTED.

at the Pittsburg City Council meeting. (Supervisor Torlakson
