TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Phil Batchelor VSA tra
County Administrator CWIa
DATE: May 27, 1986 C'airty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3299 (Vasconcellos)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AMID JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 3299 by Assemblyman
Vasconcellos.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law establishes a. State Transportation Improvement
Program ( STIP) which lists projects to be funded from the State
Highway Account for a five-year period in accordance with
priorities established in Government Code Section 14529.6.
Assemblyman Vasconcellos has introduced AB 3299 which would allow
a local jurisdiction to advance a project included in the STIP to
an earlier fiscal year through the use of its own funds and would
require the STIP to be revised accordingly. The advancing of
such a project would require the approval of the appropriate
transportation planning agency, the California Transportation
Commission, and the State Department of Transportation.
AB 3299 would further allow a project which has been advanced to
be replaced by another project at the originally scheduled fiscal
year and dollar value as the project which was advanced. Such
replacement would also require approval of the appropriate
transportation planning agency, the commission, and the
department.
AB 3299 provides an opportunity, where local funds are available,
to advance a project which is a high priority project locally and
thereby to begin work on it earlier than would have been the case
otherwise. This could be of benefit to this County. The
County' s transportation lobbyist, D. J. Smith, recommends support
for AB 3299 and this office concurs in that recommendation.
