FROM: VAL ALEXEEFF, DIRECTOR
GROWTH MANAGEMENT & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
DATE: June 28, 1994
SUBJECT: DOUGHERTY VALLEY OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE (DVOC)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
APPOINT two representatives from the County, one Supervisor and
alternate plus one staff member with the opportunity to designate,
to fulfill our obligation on the Dougherty Valley Oversight
Committee (DVOC) . In our opinion, this will provide balance to the
meetings and responsiveness to the different types of issues that
occur.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is presumed that the time spent by County will be recovered
through fees in connection with the Dougherty Valley applications.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
As part of the settlement agreement, the County and the cities of
San Ramon and Danville, agreed to establish an advisory committee
(see Exhibit F) . The purpose of the advisory committee is to
provide formal comment, opportunities and discussion for the two
cities. Items to be discussed will range from the pending General
Plan application for Country Club at Gale Ranch to design issues
related to construction. It appears prudent to set the process for
the committee at this time because there are issues related to the
settlement, TVPOA, court decisions, and others that would b nefit
from interjurisdictional discussion.
