DENNIS M _ -: Costa COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR _ �STa,, County DATE: June 1, 2004 OU .054 SUBJECT: Draft FY 2004105 Budgets of the Congestion Management Agency and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees. SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS ACCEPT Report. FISCAL IMPACT None to the General Fund. The County contribution to the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees is funded from the Public Works and Community Development Department budgets using gas tax and Measure C-88 Return-to-Source revenue. BACKGROUND/REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION The agreements that created the county's Congestion Management Agency and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees require referral of their budgets to the member jurisdictions. In past years, these budgets have been of interest to the Board of Supervisors. A comparison of the proposed contributions to these budgets is provided in Exhibit A. The proposed contributions for FY 2004/05 are comparable to FY 2003/04. Congestion Management Agency (CMA) Budget The County and the cities designated the Contra Costa Transportation Authority as the CMA and fund its operating costs through a joint powers agreement. The local contributions to the CMA are apportioned based on the formula used by the State for distributing Proposition 111 gas tax revenue to cities and counties. Proposition 111 was a 1991 statewide referendum that increased the state gas tax by five cents and enabled establishment of congestion management agencies in urban counties.

The proposed budget includes funding for an update of the Congestion Management Program. Southwest Area Transportation (SWAT) Committee Budget FY 2004/05 represents the first year of a two-year budget for the SWAT Committee that began October 1, 2003. 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 2004/05 budget reflects increased staff/benefit costs and a repayment of misallocated funds from a prior year. TMAzill also be less unspent funds from the current budget to offset FY 2004/05 costs. Half of the cost of to fund operations is 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 2004/05 budget reflects COLA increases and proposes to continue with the same level of staffing of the prior year. 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 2004/05, 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 2004/05 budget is slightly less by the current year because more staff time is allocated to Measure C projects, which are funded separately. 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 Management Assistant, a half-time Administrative Clerk, 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. CC t o O � �w 0 j tt� M s.
