Previous contributions to FIDES have not appeared in the budget. The Board should be aware that the FY 2002/03 budget included preparation of a Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, in response to a request of the Board. The FY 2003104 budget includes preparation of a Countywide Paratransit Study, in response to a request of the Board. Southwest Area Transportation (SWAT) Committee Budget FY 2003/04 represents the second year of a two-year budget for the SWAT Committee. The budget is funded by equal contributions from the six participating jurisdictions. The budget provides administrative support to the SWAT Committee, which consists of compiling and distributing agendas, staff support at the meetings, and providing meeting minutes. County staff provides administrative support through a contract with the SWAT Committee. Transpac Budget The proposed FY 2003104 budget reflects increased staff costs. Half of these costs are apportioned equally to the six participating jurisdictions. The other half is apportioned to these jurisdictions based on their share of population and road mileage in the Transpac area. The budget includes Transpac operations only,which consist of a Program Manager provided through a part-time consultant contract, 0.5 FTE of an administrative assistant and related overhead. The budget does not include the Contra Costa Commute Alternatives Network, which is housed in the Transpac office. Transplan Committee Budget The proposed FY 2003/04 budget is reduced from the prior year due to completion of tasks associated with the reauthorization of Measure C-88. The budget is funded by equal contributions from the five participating jurisdictions. The budget provides administrative support to the Transplan Committee as well as limited staff support to represent the Committee before other entities and to carryout decisions of the Committee. The Department allocates .15 FTE of a Senior Transportation Planner to provide this staff support to the Transplan Committee pursuant to a joint powers agreement. Tri Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) Budget The TVTC has not had a budget since it was formed. Responsibility for administrative support is rotated annually among the participating jurisdictions. The County fulfilled this responsibility in 2000. In FY 2003/04, the TVTC will fund a nexus study for revising its regional transportation fee program. The cost of that study is funded separately, through the Strategic Expenditure Plan, using revenue from the fee program. West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC) Budget The FY 2003/04 budget reflects completion of several projects funded by the prior budget. Costs to participating jurisdictions are apportioned based on the number of seats each jurisdiction has on WCCTAC. There are ten seats on WCCTAC. The Board has one seat and pays 10% of WCCTAC's costs that are not covered by other funding sources, The budget includes WCCTAC operations only,which consist of a full-time Managing Director, a part time administrative assistance and a portion of a Transportation Project Specialist position. WCCTAC support for the Contra Costa Commute Alternatives Network is not included in this budget and is funded by other sources. lt9Aco0 Fo cn 0 fl- 00 ce) N t-- ul UIX)') CN m to o (1) 'RT C) c: Cj C6 cc C,4 != cli C o 25 cl) co C14 (1) No 00 0) gd Z LL N CI) C'4 0 > {0 }- N0 U) c cr- ME z Cq < 0 W P: U- co < (D 0cao V.
