TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: April 9, 1991
SUBJECT: Approve the Second Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for Route
Adoption of the Delta Expressway.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
Approve the Second Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for route adoption
of the Delta Expressway which provides for the additional task of acting as a liaison for the
County, and the Cities of Antioch and Brentwood in the project development of the Midstate
Tollway. Approving this amendment does not commit the County to approval or disapproval
of the Mid-State Toll Road Project.
II. Financial Impact:
The current budget for administration of the State Route 4 Bypass Authority is sufficient to cover
the cost of work contemplated for the current fiscal year. Future funds will be required from the
Bypass'Authority members to continue this effort. County revenues to support the Authority are
from the Area of Benefit Fee Programs.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The County and the Cities of Brentwood and Antioch have entered into a Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement which provides for preparation of a precise alignment and environmental
document for the Delta Expressway. Since this project has begun, the State of California has
selected four demonstration projects for development of toll roads. A requirement of the
program was a Northern California project. The California Toll Road Company, with the
conceptual support of the County, Antioch and Brentwood, and other local governmental
agencies, submitted a proposal for a toll road which extends from Sunol to Vacaville. A portion
of the toll road includes the Delta Expressway. The California Toll Road Company has

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background :(cont)
requested that a single voice entity act as liaison for the various agencies in developing the toll
road project and that such entity be the State Route 4 Bypass Authority. The project
development process will consist of determining the needs of the East County Area that must
be addressed by the project, the amount of local participation that would be appropriate, as well
as routes and operational details. The Bypass Authority would provide a single public forum for
local concerns. Once the total project has reached consensus, approvals will be required by
the three agencies of the Bypass Authority.
The Amendment also provides the Authority the power to acquire and hold title to real property.
This activity is related to the preservation of the corridor right-of-way. The acquisition of right-of-
way for construction purposes is not necessary at this time. This provision does not provide the
Authority with the right of eminent domain.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the amendment is not improved by the member agencies, the Toll Road Project development
will become fragmented, causing delays in determining costs and benefits of the project. Delays
because of the financial costs associated with them, may threaten the viability of the proposal.
