Financial Impact: No impact to County General Fund III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: In 1978, a procedure was recommended by the Conference of Mayors and adopted by the County Board of Supervisors to insure county-wide consensus in funding bicycle and pedestrian projects with TDA money. In accordance with that procedure, each City and the County submitted applications for 1993-94 TDA funds for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The TDA Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the City/County Engineering Advisory Committee (CCEAC), met in early January to review the TDA applications submitted for funding consideration. Thirteen projects, totaling almost $1,300,000, were reviewed by the subcommittee. This year's subcommittee is made up of representatives from El Cerrito, Concord, Antioch, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the County, the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, the Regional Bicycle Advisory Committee and the East Bay Regional Park District. The attached exhibit lists all of the submitted projects. MTC has estimated that $372,494 would be available for 1993-94 TDA Article 3 funds in Contra Costa County. Based on the criteria established to prioritize proposed projects, the subcommittee recommended that the CCEAC accept a proposed project list for the 1993-94 TDA Article 3 funds and forward the project list to the Conference of Mayors. On March 4, 1993, the Contra Costa Conference of Mayors approved the proposed priority list. The priority list has been reviewed by the Transportation Committee. The CCEAC requests approval of the project list for the 1993/94 TDA Article 3 funds. Subsequent to adoption of the list by the Board of Supervisors, the priority list must be forwarded to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for final approval and funding allocation. Board of Supervisors Proposed Priority List for TDA Funds May 11, 1993 Page Three IV. Consequences of Negative Action: Failure to approve the proposed list will result in a delay in the MTC process of allocating TDA funds in the Contra Costa County area. V.
