II. Financial Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund, 100% funded by road funds.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Smith, Kempton and Watts have been providing the County with legislative representation in
Sacramento on transportation and related matters for several years. They also provide similar
services to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and help to coordinate our legislative
activities with those of the Authority. The Public Works Director, Community Development Director
and the Board's Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee met with Smith, Kempton &
Watts to develop a scope of work for the 2001 legislative session and on December 12, 2000, the
Board of Supervisors adopted goals for transportation related legislation for 2001.
