DATE: April 1, 1996
SUBJECT: Report on Expenditure Plan for the Unocal Community Transportation Fund
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) $ BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
ACCEPT report on expenditure plan for the Unocal Community Transportation Fund which was
a condition of approval for Unocal Corporation's Clean Fuels project.
II. Financiallmnact:
There is no impact to the General Fund.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The conditions of approval for the Unocal Corporation's Clean Fuels project required Unocal to
contribute $4.5 million for the construction of local transportation improvements in the Rodeo and
Crockett areas. Through a community based process, it was determined that the Cummings
Skyway Extension would be the first priority project. The project consists of building a two lane
road with truck climbing lanes from 1-80 to San Pablo Avenue. The Cummings Skyway Extension
will provide additional access to the communities of Rodeo and Crockett and is a benefit to both
communities as it will greatly reduce the truck traffic through the towns. On July 25, 1995, the
Board of Supervisors adopted a preliminary expenditure plan for the funds that reflect this priority.
On November 28, 1995, the Board established a fund for Unocal's contribution and directed the
Public Works Director to provide quarterly reports to Unocal on the status of the fund activities.
The $4.5 million was deposited in the Unocal Community Transportation Fund.

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Continued)
The Public Works Department is working on the environmental documentation and preliminary
design for the Cummings Skyway Extension. The schedule shows that the environmental process
should be completed and an alignment selected December 1996. Staff is also continuing to seek
opportunities for additional funding for the Cummings Skyway Extension. If additional or
replacement funds are found for the Cummings Skyway Extension project, the communities of
Rodeo and Crockett will have the opportunity to establish additional priorities for the Unocal
Community Transportation Fund.
