Transportation Expenditure Plan and request that the Alameda County Board of Supervisors
place it on the November 6, 2012, ballot.
Submitted By Reviewed By
Director of Public Works Assistant City Manager
DESCRIPTION:
In 1986, voters approved Measure B, a 1/2 cent sales tax, to fund transportation improvements
and programs throughout Alameda County. In November 2000, Alameda County voters
approved an extension of the first sales tax through 2022 to fund a new set of project and
Page 2 of 8
program investments throughout the County. All of the major projects promised to an d
approved by the voters in the 2000 Measure are either underway or complete. Funds that go to
cities and other local agencies to maintain and improve local streets, to provide critical transit
service and services for seniors and persons with disabilities , as well as to implement bicycle
and pedestrian safety projects will continue until the current Measure B expenditure plan ends in
2022.
While the existing measure will remain intact through 2022, the 2012 Alameda County
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) (Attachment 2) has been developed for three reasons:
The capital projects in the existing measure have been largely completed, with many
projects implemented almost 10 years ahead of schedule. Virtually all of the project funds in
the existing measure are committed to these current projects. Without a new plan, the
County will be unable to fund any new major projects to address pressing mobility needs due
to significant funding decreases in transportation from state and federal sources.
Due to the economic recession, all sources of transportation funding have declined. The
decline in revenues has had a particularly significant impact on transportation services that
depend on annual sales tax revenue distributions for their ongoing operations. The grea test
impacts have been to the programs that are highly important to Alameda County residents
and businesses:
o Reductions in local funding to transit operators, combined with state and federal
reductions, have resulted in higher fares and reductions in service hours.
o Reductions in local funding to programs for seniors and persons with disabilities have
resulted in cuts in these programs as the populations depending on them continue to
increase.
o Local road maintenance programs have been cut, and road condition s have deteriorated
for all types of users.
o Bicycle and pedestrian system improvements and maintenance of pathways have
continued to deteriorate, making it more difficult to walk and bike as an alternative to
driving.
Since the recession began, bus services in Alameda County have been cut significantly, and
the gap between road maintenance needs and available funding is at an all all-time high.
Background on Development of a New Transportation Expenditure Plan
The new TEP will provide significant investments in projects and program funding. The 2012
TEP will double investments in transit services allowing operators in Alameda County to close
local funding gaps created by declining state and federal revenue, keep needed services in
place and restore service cuts for many providers. A key feature of the local transportation sales
tax is that it cannot be used for any purpose other than local transportation needs. It cannot be
taken by the State or by any other governmental agency under any circumstance, and over the
life of this plan can only be used for the purposes described in the plan, or as amended.
The ballot measure supported by this plan will augment and extend the existing half -cent sales
tax for transportation in Alameda County, authorizing an addit ional half-cent sales tax through
2022 and extending the full cent in perpetuity. Recognizing that transportation needs,
technology, and circumstances change over time, the expenditure plan covers the period from
approval in 2012 and subsequent sales tax collections for an unlimited period unless otherwise
Page 3 of 8
terminated by the voters, programming a total of $7.7 billion in new transportation funding in the
first thirty years. Voters will have the opportunity to review and approve comprehensive updates
to this plan at least once prior to the completion of 2042 and every 20 years thereafter.
The expenditure plan was developed in conjunction with the Alameda Countywide
Transportation Plan (CWTP), the long range policy document that guides transportation
investments, programs, policies and advocacy for Alameda County through 2040. A Steering
Committee and two working groups (Community and Technical) were established to guide
development of both the CWTP and the TEP over the past two years.
Public engagement and tran sparency were the foundations of the development of these plans.
A wide variety of stakeholders, including businesses, technical experts, environmental and
social justice organizations, seniors and people with disabilities, helped shape the plan to
ensure that it serves the county’s diverse transportation needs. Thousands of Alameda County
residents participated through public workshops and facilitated small group dialogues; a website
allowed for online questionnaires, access to all project information, and submittal of comments;
and advisory committees that represent diverse constituencies were integrally involved in the
plan development process from the beginning. In addition, opinion polls were conducted through
telephone surveys of a sample of Alameda Co unty likely voters, and results demonstrated that
over 79% of those polled were supportive of augmenting and extending the existing
transportation sales tax measure.
The TEP includes a set of strong taxpayer safeguards to ensure that the promises in the plan
are met. These include ongoing monitoring and review by an Independent Watchdog
Committee; an annual independent audit and report to the taxpayers; requirement for full public
review and periodic voter approval for comprehensive updates to the expendi ture plan at least
once before the completion of 2042 and every 20 years thereafter; and strict limits on
administrative expenses charged to these funds.
Overview of the New Transportation Expenditure Plan
The TEP will serve as the New Mobility Plan for Alameda County for the 21st Century by
providing essential transportation investments to address both current and projected
transportation needs in Alameda County. Further, the TEP provides funding for maintenance,
operations and new infrastructure that expands mobility choices, supports reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, and enhances overall transportation efficiencies throughout the County. The
vision for the TEP is to fund a premier transportation system that supports a vibrant and livable
Alameda County through a connected and integrated multimodal transportation system,
promoting sustainability, access, transit operations, public health and economic opportunities.
The TEP was developed with the guidance from a steering committee of elected officials and
input from two advisory committees, and by incorporating key findings from polling and
outreach. The TEP was approved by the Alameda County Transportation Commission on
January 26, 2012. Table 1 includes a summary of TEP investments by mode.

Table 1 Summary of Investments by Mode
Mode Funds Allocated
$ in millions (M)*
Transit & Specialized Transit (48%) $3,732
Local Streets & Roads (30%) $2,348
Highway Efficiency & Freight (9%) $677
Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure and Safety (8%) $651
Sustainable Land Use & Transportation (4%) $300
Technology, Innovation, and Development (1%) $77
TOTAL NEW NET FUNDING (2013-42) $7,786
*Estimated in escalated dollars to 2042
The key features of the TEP are:
Fix-it-First- Realizing the dire need to maintain Alameda County’s existing infrastructure,
approximately 70% of the TEP funding supports a “Fix-it-First” strategy to support
maintaining and operating the existing transportation investments. It includes funding for
transit and paratransit operations, bus enhancement and BART system maintenance and
modernization, local streets and roads maintenance funds for every jurisdiction, non -capacity
expanding projects on primary commute corridors, non -capacity expanding interchange
improvements to improve safety and access, bicycle and pedestrian safety funds, and
sustainable land use programs to support transportation efficiencies in relation to local land
uses decisions.
Sustainable Communities – Transportation and land use linkages are strengthened when
development focuses on bringing together mobility choices, housing and jobs.
Understanding how transportation efficiencies can be made by connecting transportation and
land use development, the TEP supports infrastructure investments that would fund existing
or proposed transportation services and facilities in and around transit hubs.
Climate Change - California is a leader in addressing climate change issues through
legislative mandates (AB 32 and SB 375) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The
TEP supports reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by investing in a multi-modal
transportation system that expands travel choices beyond the single occupant vehicle trip.
The CWTP, out of which the TEP was derived, showed a 24 to 25% GHG emissions
reduction per capita. The CWTP and TEP investments will be aligned at final adoption of
both final plans in May 2012.
Geographic Equity – The TEP has been developed as a geographically equitable plan,
providing critical transportation investments in every city and all areas of the County.
Transportation Expenditure Plan Investment Details
The following is the brief description of each of the investment categories by mode, including a
breakdown of the proposed distribution within each category.
Page 5 of 8
Transit and Specialized Transit (48%)
A total of 48% of net revenue from this tax will be dedicated to public transit systems for
operations, maintenance and capital projects. The investments identified for public transit in this
plan were guided by the principles of enhancing safety, convenience and reliability to maximize
the number of people who can use the transit system. By doubling the amount of local sales tax
funds available to transit operations and maintenance, this plan represents a major investment
in Alameda County’s transit system to increase transit services and expand access to transit
throughout the county, and to help avoid further service cuts while preserving the affordability of
transit.
Funds for operations and maintenance will be provided to bus trans it operators in the county
(AC Transit, Union City Transit and Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority) as well as to
ferries and the ACE commuter rail system. In addition, these funds will substantially increase
Alameda County's commitment to the growin g transportation needs of older adults and persons
with disabilities, essentially doubling the funds available for targeted services for this important
group. Funds are also committed to support transportation access to schools.
Major capital investments include upgrades to the existing BART system and a BART extension
in the eastern part of the County, adding bus rapid transit routes to improve the efficiency of
transit, and providing funding for rail transit investments such as the Capital Corridor rail and
improvements across the Dumbarton Bridge. The following are the proposed funding details for
this program:
Transit & Specialized Transit (48%) $3,732 millions
Mass Transit: Operations, Access to
Schools, Maintenance, and Safety Program $1,857 M
Specialized Transit For Seniors and Persons
with Disabilities $774 M
Bus Transit Efficiency and Priority $35 M
BART System Modernization and Expansion $710 M
Regional Rail Enhancements and High
Speed Rail Connections $355 M
Local Streets and Roads (30%)
Alameda County has more than 3,400 road miles of aging streets and roads, many of which are
in need of repair: intersections need to be reconfigured, traffic lights need to be synchronized
and pot holes need to be filled. Most importantly, these roads are essential to every mode of
transportation. A total of 30% of the net revenue anticipated from this tax is dedicated to the
improvement of local streets and roads.
Streets and roads investments include two major components: a program th at provides funding
for local jurisdictions to maintain streets and roads, and a capital program that is focused on
improving the performance of major commute routes and bridges throughout the County,
including enhancing seismic safety of local bridges.
The Streets and Roads program in this Expenditure Plan involves shared responsibility: local
cities and the County will set their road priorities within a framework that supports complete
streets to serve all users and types of transportation, honors best practices and encourages
Page 6 of 8
agencies to work together. More specifically, streets and roads expenditures will be designed to
benefit all modes of travel by improving safety, accessibility, and convenience for all users of the
street right-of-way and 15% of these funds will support bicycle and pedestrian elements of
streets and roads projects. The plan also focuses on important commute corridors that carry the
majority of the driving public and cross city boundaries, ensuring enhanced cooperation and
coordination between agencies. These funds will be allocated through the Alameda CTC Capital
Improvement Program, which will be updated every two years and will allocate funding based
upon geographic equity. The following is the proposed funding details for this pro gram:
Local Streets and Roads (30%) $2,348 millions
Major Commute Corridors, Local Bridge
Seismic Safety $639 M
Freight Corridors of Countywide
Significance $161 M
Local Streets and Roads Program $1,548 M
Highway Efficiency and Freight (9%)
The County's aging highway system requires safety, access and gap closure improvements to
enhance efficiencies on a largely built -out system. Funding has been allocated to each highway
corridor in Alameda County for needed improvements.
Specific projects have been identified based on project readiness, local priority and the
availability to leverage current investments and funds. A number of eligible projects have been
identified as candidates for corridor improvements, which will be selected f or funding based on
their contribution to the overall goals of improving system reliability, maximizing connectivity,
improving the environment and reducing congestion. Priority implementation of specific
investments and amounts will be determined as part of the Capital Improvement Program
developed by Alameda CTC every two years and allocated with geographic equity throughout
the County. Most of the projects that have been identified for funding are designed to improve
the efficiency of and access to existing investments and to close gaps and remove bottlenecks.
A total of 9% of the net revenue is allocated to the highway system, including 1%, or
approximately $77 M, allocated specifically to goods movement and related projects. The
following is the proposed funding details for this program:
Highway Efficiency and Freight (9%) $677 million
Highway/Efficiency and Gap Closure
Projects $600 M
Freight & Economic Development
Program $77 M
Bicycle and Pedestrian Investments (8%) - $651 million
Alameda County’s bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure is a key element in expanding travel
choices that extend the reach of the transit services, provide a non -polluting and sustainable
travel mode, and contribute to public health and quality of life.
Key investments in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure include completion of major trails in the
County. Funding will allow for the completion of three key trails: the County’s East Bay
Page 7 of 8
Greenway which provides a viable commute and community access route for man y cyclists and
pedestrians from Oakland to Fremont, and the Bay Trail and Iron Horse trails in Alameda
County which provide important off street routes for both commute and recreational trips.
Funding for priority projects in local and countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian plans will also allow
for investments that support the use of these modes. A total of 8% of the funds available in this
plan are devoted to improving bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure as well as providing
programs to encourage people to bike and walk when possible. A particular focus is on the
County’s youth to encourage adoption of safe and healthy habits through Safe Routes to
Schools. It is important to note that in addition to these dedicated funds, local bicycle and
pedestrian investments will also be funded through the Local Streets and Roads and all funding
in the TEP will support a complete streets policy.
Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Linkages (4%) and Technology (1%)
Investments in sustainable transportation and land use linkages recognize the need to plan the
County’s transportation system along with the land uses that are going to serve the growing
demand for housing and jobs in Alameda County.
The TEP includes investments in every part of the county, enhancing are as around BART
stations and bus transfer hubs that are slated for new development, and supporting
communities where biking, walking and transit riding are all desirable options. A total of 4% of
net revenue or about $300 M is dedicated to improvements that link our transportation
infrastructure with areas identified for new development.
The TEP provides funding for technology, innovation and development at one percent (1%) of
net revenue, or about $77 M, dedicated to investments that can support technolog ical advances
in transportation management and information. The following is the proposed funding details for
this program:
Sustainable Land Use & Transportation (4%) and Technology (1%) - $377
million
Priority Development Area (PDA) /
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
Infrastructure Investments (4%)
$300 M
Technology, Innovation, and
Development (1%) $77 M
If voters approve the reauthorization of Measure B in November 2012, significant funds would
be available to the City of Dublin for transporta tion programs and projects by way of direct pass -
through funds as well as discretionary grant funding opportunities. A Fact Sheet summarizing
the benefits to City of Dublin are enclosed (Attachment 3).

Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 1-1
FULFILLING THE PROMISE TO VOTERS
In November 2000, Alameda County voters approved
Measure B, a half-cent local transportation sales tax,
scheduled to sunset in 2022. Virtually all of the major
projects promised to and approved by the voters in
that measure are either underway or complete. Funds
that go to cities and other local jurisdictions to
maintain and improve local streets, provide critical
transit service and services for seniors and persons
with disabilities, as well as bicycle and pedestrian
safety projects will continue until the current
Measure B expenditure plan ends in 2022. Through
careful management, leveraging of other funding
opportunities and consensus-based planning, the
promises of the 2000 voter-approved measure have
been largely fulfilled and essential operations are on-
going.
While most of the projects promised in Measure B
have been implemented or are underway, the need to
continue to maintain and improve the County’s
transportation system remains critically important.
Alameda County continues to grow, while funding
from outside sources has been cut or has not kept
pace. Unless the County acts now to increase local
resources for transportation, by 2035, when Alameda
County’s population is expected to be 24% higher
than today, it is anticipated that vehicle miles
traveled will increase by 40%:
x Average morning rush hour speeds on the
county’s freeways will fall by 10%
x Local roads will continue to deteriorate
x Local transit systems will continue to face service
cuts and fare increase, and
x Biking and walking routes, which are critical to
almost every trip, will continue to deteriorate,
impacting safety, public health and the
environment.
This Alameda County Transportation Expenditure
Plan (referred to throughout this document as the
TEP or the plan) responds to the county’s continued
transportation needs through the extension and
augmentation of a consistent, locally generated and
protected funding stream to address the County’s
transportation needs. A key feature of the local
transportation sales tax is that it cannot be used for
any purpose other than local transportation needs. It
cannot be taken by the State or by any other
governmental agency under any circumstance, and
over the life of this plan can only be used for the
purposes described in the plan, or as amended.
The ballot measure supported by this plan augments
and extends the existing half-cent sales tax for
transportation in Alameda County known as
Measure B, authorizing an additional half-cent sales
tax through 2022 and extending the full cent in
perpetuity. Recognizing that transportation needs,
technology, and circumstances change over time, this
expenditure plan covers the period from approval in
2012 for an unlimited period unless otherwise
terminated by the voters, programming a total of $7.7
billion in new transportation funding in the first
thirty years. Voters will have the opportunity to
review and approve comprehensive updates to this
plan at least once prior to the end of 2042 and every
20 years thereafter.
The expenditure plan funds critical improvements to
the county’s transit network, including expanding
transit operations and restoring service cuts and
expanding the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
system within Alameda County, to move more
people on transit. It expands transportation services
for seniors and people with disabilities, responding to
the needs of an aging population. The plan also funds
projects to relieve congestion throughout the county,
moving people and goods more efficiently, by
supporting strategic investments on I-80, I-580, I-680,
I-880, and State Routes 84 and 262. In addition, the
plan recognizes growth in bicycle and pedestrian
travel by completing major trails and bikeways and
making substantial improvements in pedestrian
safety and access.
1-2 | Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
STATUS OF THE CURRENT MEASURE B
EXPENDITURE PLAN
Voters in Alameda County have long recognized the
need to provide stable and local funding for the
County’s transportation needs. In 1986, Alameda
County voters authorized a half-cent transportation
sales tax to finance improvements to the county’s
overburdened transportation infrastructure. An even
wider margin of voters reauthorized this tax in 2000,
with over 81.5% support. Detailed expenditure plans
have guided the use of these funds. The current plan
provides over $100 million each year for essential
operations, maintenance and construction of
transportation projects. It authorized the expenditure
of funds for the extension of BART to Warm Springs,
transit operations, rapid bus improvements
throughout the county, bicycle and pedestrian trails
and bridges, a countywide Safe Routes to School
Program, and specialized transportation services for
seniors and people with disabilities. It has also
provided congestion relief throughout Alameda
County by widening I-238, constructing the I-680
express lane, improving I-580 and I-880, and
upgrading surface streets and arterial roadways.
Most of the 27 major projects authorized by the
current expenditure plan have been completed or are
under construction, many ahead of schedule. Annual
audits by independent certified public accountants
have verified that 100% of the public funds
authorized in the current plan have been spent as
promised.
The current projects and programs are governed by
the current Measure B Expenditure Plan.
BENEFITS FROM THE CURRENT
MEASURE B EXPENDITURE PLAN
The current local transportation sales tax has
provided a substantial share of the total funding
available for transportation projects in Alameda
County, far exceeding annual state and federal
commitments. State and federal sources have
diminished over time, and local sources have come to
represent over 60% of the money available for
transportation in the county. The current measure has
been indispensible in helping to meet the county’s
growing needs in an era of shrinking resources.
The county’s ability to keep up with street
maintenance needs, such as filling potholes and
repaving roadways, is fundamentally dependent on
these local funds. Targeted improvements funded
through the current expenditure plan such as the new
express lane on I-680 and the widening of I-238 have
relieved congestion on critical county commute
corridors. A new Warm Springs BART station will
soon open in the southern part of the county as the
beginning of a new connection to Silicon Valley. The
current plan has supported transit operations,
improved the safety of children getting to schools
throughout the county and funded special
transportation services that provide over 900,000 trips
for seniors and people with disabilities every year.
These local funds have also allowed the county to
compete effectively for outside funds by providing
local matching money. The existing expenditure plan
has attracted supplemental funds of over $3 billion
from outside sources for Alameda County
transportation investments.
WHY EXTEND AND AUGMENT THE
SALES TAX MEASURE NOW?
While the existing measure will remain intact
through 2022, the 2012 Alameda County
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) has been
developed for three reasons:
x The capital projects in the existing measure have
been largely completed, with many projects
implemented ahead of schedule. Virtually all of
the project funds in the existing measure are
committed to these current projects. Without a
new plan, the County will be unable to fund any
new major projects to address pressing mobility
needs.
x Due to the economic recession, all sources of
transportation funding have declined. The
decline in revenues has had a particularly
significant impact on transportation services that
depend on annual sales tax revenue distributions
for their ongoing operations. The greatest
impacts have been to the programs that are most
important to Alameda County residents:
o Reductions in local funding to transit
operators, combined with state and federal
reductions, have resulted in higher fares and
less service.
o Reductions in local funding to programs for
seniors and persons with disabilities have
resulted in cuts in these programs as the
Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 1-3
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
populations depending on them continue to
increase.
o Local road maintenance programs have been
cut, and road conditions have deteriorated
for all types of users.
o Bicycle and pedestrian system improvements
and maintenance of pathways have
continued to deteriorate, making it more
difficult to walk and bike as an alternative to
driving.
x Since the recession began, bus services in
Alameda County have been cut significantly, and
the gap between road maintenance needs and
available funding is at an all-time high. This new
expenditure plan will allow local funding to fill
in the gaps created by declining state and federal
revenue and will keep needed services in place
and restore service cuts for many providers.
HOW THIS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED
This expenditure plan was developed in conjunction
with the Alameda Countywide Transportation Plan
(CWTP), the long range policy document that guides
transportation investments, programs, policies and
advocacy for Alameda County through 2040. A
Steering Committee and two working groups
(technical and community) were established to guide
development of both the CWTP and the TEP over the
past two years.
Public engagement and transparency were the
foundations of the development of these plans. A
wide variety of stakeholders, including businesses,
technical experts, environmental and social justice
organizations, seniors and people with disabilities,
helped shape the plan to ensure that it serves the
county’s diverse transportation needs. Thousands of
Alameda County residents participated through
public workshops and facilitated small group
dialogues; a website allowed for online
questionnaires, access to all project information, and
submittal of comments; and advisory committees that
represent diverse constituencies were integrally
involved in the plan development process from the
beginning.
The TEP also benefited from a performance-based
project evaluation process undertaken for the CWTP.
This allowed policies and goals to be expressed in
quantifiable terms and competing transportation
investments to be compared to one another
objectively. This led to a more systematic and
analytical selection process for investment priorities.
City councils for all 14 cities in the county and the
County Board of Supervisors each held public
meetings and voted to approve this expenditure plan
and recommended submission of the sales tax
measure to the voters.
VISION AND GOALS
The development of the Countywide Transportation
Plan and the Transportation Expenditure Plan began
with establishing a new vision and goals for the
county’s transportation system:
Alameda County will be served by a premier
transportation system that supports a vibrant and
livable Alameda County through a connected and
integrated multimodal transportation system
promoting sustainability, access, transit operations,
public health and economic opportunities.
The vision recognizes the need to maintain and
operate the County’s existing transportation
infrastructure and services while developing new
investments that are targeted, effective, financially
sound and supported by appropriate land uses.
Mobility in Alameda County will be guided by
transparent decision-making and measureable
performance indicators, and will be supported by
these goals:
Our transportation system will be:
x Multimodal (bus, train, ferry, bicycle, walking
and driving)
x Accessible, affordable and equitable for people of
all ages, incomes, abilities and geographies
x Integrated with land use patterns and local
decision-making
x Connected across the county, within and across
the network of streets, highways, transit, bicycle
and pedestrian routes
x Reliable and efficient
x Cost effective
x Well maintained
x Safe
x Supportive of a healthy and clean environment

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
TAXPAYER SAFEGUARDS
The commitments in this expenditure plan are
underscored by a set of strong taxpayer safeguards to
ensure that they are met. These include an annual
independent audit and report to the taxpayers;
ongoing monitoring and review by an Independent
Watchdog Committee; requirement for full public
review and periodic voter approval for a
comprehensive update to the expenditure plan at
least once prior to the end of 2042 and every 20 years
thereafter; and strict limits on administrative
expenses charged to these funds.
Local Funds Spent Locally
The revenue generated through this transportation
sales tax will be spent exclusively on projects and
programs in Alameda County. All of the projects and
programs included in the expenditure plan are
considered essential for the transportation needs of
Alameda County.

TRANSPORTATION
INVESTMENTS
Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 2-1
This Transportation Expenditure Plan describes a
program anticipated to generate $7.7 billion in the
first 30 years designed to sustainably, reliably and
effectively move people and goods within the county
and to connect Alameda County with the rest of the
Bay Area. The projects and programs that follow
describe the plan for investments between the
approval of the tax in 2012 and its subsequent
collections pursuant to comprehensive updates, at
least once before the end of 2042 and every 20 years
thereafter. These improvements are necessary to
address current and projected transportation needs in
Alameda County, current legislative mandates, and
reflect the best efforts to achieve consensus among
varied interests and communities in Alameda
County.
The linkage between sustainable transportation and
development has never been clearer. Recent
legislation, including SB 375, requires transportation
planning agencies to focus on connecting
transportation with development policies to ensure
that communities develop in a way that supports
biking, walking and transit while maximizing
accessibility for all modes. Transportation planning
must also find ways to reduce the number of miles
driven, reducing the production of greenhouse gases.
The projects and programs in this plan are designed
to strengthen the economy and improve quality of
life in Alameda County, and reduce traffic
congestion. They include maintenance of existing
infrastructure, targeted investments to improve
highway safety, remove bottlenecks on major
commute corridors, enhance rail, bus and ferry transit
systems, and make it safer and easier to bike and
walk throughout the county.
Two types of investments are funded in this plan:
capital investments which are allocated specific dollar
amounts in the plan, and programmatic investments
which are allocated a percentage of net revenues to be
distributed to program recipients on a monthly or
periodic basis. Capital investments will be made
based upon clearly defined project descriptions and
limits resulting from the outcomes of environmental
analyses, as applicable. Examples of programmatic
investments include local road maintenance and
transit operations which provide funds to local
jurisdictions to complete on-going operations and
maintenance tasks. The following summarizes total
expenditures by mode including both capital and
programmatic investments.
PUBLIC TRANSIT AND SPECIALIZED
TRANSIT (48%)
Increasing the number of people that can be served
by high capacity public transit is critical to all
residents of Alameda County to provide
transportation choices, relieve congestion and
support a vibrant economy. The investments
identified for public transit in this plan were guided
by the principles of enhancing safety, convenience
and reliability to maximize the number of people
who can make use of the transit system. By more than
doubling the amount of local sales tax funds available
to transit operations and maintenance, this plan
represents a major investment in Alameda County's
transit system to increase transit services and expand
access to transit throughout the County, and to help
avoid further service cuts and preserve affordability
of transit.
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS (30%)
Local streets and roads are the essential building
blocks of Alameda County's transportation system.
Virtually every trip begins or ends on a local road.
Alameda County has more than 3,400 road miles of
aging streets and roads, many of which are in need of
repair: intersections need to be reconfigured, traffic
lights need to be synchronized and potholes need to
be filled. Most important, these roads are essential to
every mode of transportation from cars and trucks, to
buses, bikes and pedestrians.
HIGHWAY EFFICIENCY, FREIGHT AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (9%)
Aging highway systems continue to operate under
substantial pressure as travel patterns become more
2-2 | Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan
TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS
diverse and the demands of moving goods and
people increases. While the era of major highway
construction has come to an end in the Bay Area,
there are many opportunities to increase the safety,
efficiency and productivity of highway corridors in
Alameda County. The highway investments included
in this plan focus on improving safety, relieving
bottlenecks at interchanges, closing gaps and
improving efficiency with carpool and high
occupancy vehicle infrastructure, and increasing
safety on major truck route corridors.
In addition to focusing on making highways more
efficient, this plan recognizes the need to move goods
safely and effectively. Recognizing the economic
importance of the Port of Oakland, highways must
provide connections between goods and market, and
do so with minimal impacts on our residential
neighborhoods.
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
INFRASTRUCTURE (8%)
Virtually every trip begins or ends on foot. Alameda
County's bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure is the
“glue” that holds the network together by extending
the reach of transit service, providing a non-polluting
and sustainable travel mode, and contributing to
public health and quality of life. A particular focus is
on the County’s youth to encourage adoption of safe
and healthy habits through Safe Routes to Schools.
SUSTAINABLE LAND USE AND
TRANSPORTATION (4%) AND
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION (1%)
Transportation and land use linkages are
strengthened when development focuses on bringing
together mobility choices, housing and jobs. This plan
includes investments in every part of the County,
enhancing areas around BART stations and bus
transfer hubs that are slated for new development,
and supporting communities where biking, walking
and transit riding are all desirable options. In
addition, a Technology, Innovation and Development
Program will support technological advances in
transportation management and information.
The map on the follow page shows the investments
planned for all modes and in all parts of the County.
Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 2-3
TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS
2-4 | Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan
PUBLIC TRANSIT AND
SPECIALIZED TRANSIT INVESTMENTS
A total of 48% of net
revenue from this tax will
be dedicated to public
transit systems. Funds for
operations and
maintenance will be
provided to bus transit
operators in the county (AC Transit, BART,
Union City Transit and Livermore Amador
Valley Transit Authority) as well as to ferries
and the ACE commuter rail system. In
addition, these funds will substantially
increase Alameda County's commitment to
the growing transportation needs of older
adults and persons with disabilities,
essentially doubling the funds available for
targeted services for this important group.
Grant funds are also available to support
transportation access to schools. Major
capital investments include upgrades to the
existing BART system and a BART extension
in the eastern part of the County, adding bus
rapid transit routes to improve the utility and
efficiency of transit, and providing funding
for transit improvements across the
Dumbarton Bridge.
TRANSIT OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE,
AND SAFETY PROGRAM (24% OF NET
REVENUE, $1,857 M)
This proposed program provides transit operators
with a consistent funding source for maintaining,
restoring and improving transit services in Alameda
County. Transit operators will allocate these funds in
consultation with their riders and policy makers with
the goal of creating a world class transit system that
is an efficient, effective, safe and affordable
alternative to driving.
The proposed Transit Operations program has the
following primary components.
Mass Transit Pass-Through Program (21.55% of
net revenue, estimated at $1.668 M)
Pass-through funds are disbursed to AC Transit,
BART, the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) rail
service, the Water Emergency Transportation
Authority (WETA), the Livermore Amador Valley
Transit Authority (LAVTA) and Union City Transit.
The relative percentage of net revenue being passed
through to these agencies is as follows:

Union City Transit 0.25% $19
Total Tr ansit
Operations
21.55% $1,6 68
Access to School Program ($15 million)
This program is for the purposes of funding one or
more models for a student transit pass program. The
program would be designed to account for
geographic differences within the county. Successful
models determined through periodic reviews will
have the first call for funding within the innovative
grant program, as described below.
Innovative Grant Program including successful
student transportation programs (2.24% of net
revenue, estimated at $175 M)
These grant funds, administered by the Alameda
CTC, will be used for the purposes of funding
innovative and emerging transit projects, including
implementing successful models aimed at increasing
the use of transit among junior high and high school
students, including a transit pass program for
students in Alameda County. Successful models will
receive the first priority for funding from this
category.
Funds will be periodically distributed, based upon
Alameda CTC action, for projects and programs with
proven ability to accomplish the goals listed below:
x Increase the use of public transit by youth riders
(first priority for funding) and increase youth
access to school
x Enhance the quality of service for transit riders
x Reduce costs or improve operating efficiency
x Increase transit ridership by improving the rider
experience
Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 2-5
PUBLIC TRANSIT AND SPECIALIZED TRANSIT INVESTMENTS
x Enhance rider safety and security
x Enhance rider information and education about
transit options
x Enhance affordability for transit riders
x Implement recommendations for transit service
improvements from Community Based
Transportation Plans
These funds will be distributed periodically by the
Alameda CTC. Grant awards will emphasize
demonstrations or pilot projects which can leverage
other funds.
SPECIALIZED TRANSIT FOR SENIORS
AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (10%
OF NET REVENUE, $774 M)
This program provides funds for local solutions to
the growing transportation needs of older adults and
persons with disabilities. Funds will be provided to
transit operators to operate specialized transportation
service mandated by the Americans with Disabilities
Act. In addition, funds will be provided to each part
of the County based on their population of residents
over age 70 for local programs aimed at improving
mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities. The
program includes three components.
Pass-through funding for East Bay Paratransit
Consortium (6% of net revenue, estimated at
$464 M)
This funding will assist the East Bay Paratransit
Consortium to meet the requirements of the
American’s With Disabilities Act. These funds will be
disbursed to and directed by the two agencies that
operate the East Bay Paratransit Consortium:
x AC Transit will receive 4.5% of net proceeds
annually, estimated at $348 M from 2012 to 2042
towards meeting its responsibilities under the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
x BART will receive 1.5% of net proceeds annually,
estimated at $116 M from 2012 to 2042, towards
meeting its responsibilities under the Americans
with Disabilities Act.
City-based and Locally Mandated Pass-through
funding (3% of net revenue, estimated at
$232 M)
Pass-through funding provided to each of the four
subareas of the County will be used for
implementation of locally developed solutions to the
mobility challenges of older adults and persons with
disabilities. Funds will be distributed monthly based
on the percentage of the population over age 70 in
each of four planning areas for city-based and
mandated paratransit services of local bus transit
providers:
x North County – including the cities of, Albany,
Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and
Piedmont.
x Central County – including the cities of Hayward
and San Leandro or unincorporated areas.
x South County – including the cities of Fremont,
Union City, and Newark, as well as Union City
Transit.
x East County – including the cities of Livermore,
Dublin, Pleasanton, unincorporated areas, and
LAVTA.
Funds can be further allocated to individual cities
within each planning area based on a formula refined
by Alameda CTC's Paratransit Advisory Planning
Committee (PAPCO), a group of seniors and disabled
riders that advise the Alameda CTC. In East County,
funding provided to Livermore and Dublin will be
assigned to LAVTA for their ADA mandated
paratransit program. In Central County, funding will
be provided to Hayward to serve the unincorporated
areas.
Coordination and Gap Grants (1% of net
revenue, estimated at $77 M)
These funds, administered by the Alameda CTC, will
be used for the purposes of coordinating services
across jurisdictional lines or filling gaps in the
system’s ability to meet the mobility needs of seniors
and persons with disabilities. These funds will be
periodically distributed by the Alameda CTC for
projects and programs with proven ability to:
x Improve mobility for seniors and persons with
disabilities by filling gaps in the services
available to this population.
x Provide education and encouragement to seniors
and persons with disabilities who are able to use
standard public transit to do so.
x Improve the quality and affordability of transit
and paratransit services for those who are
dependent on them.
x Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ADA-
mandated and local services.
2-6 | Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan
PUBLIC TRANSIT AND SPECIALIZED TRANSIT INVESTMENTS
BUS TRANSIT EFFICIENCY AND
PRIORITY ($35 M)
A total of $35 M in sales tax funds will be allocated to
projects that enhance the reliability and speed of bus
transit services in the East Bay. These projects include
the implementation of Bus Rapid Transit and transit
priority projects on some of the busiest corridors in
the AC Transit system.
AC Transit East Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
Projects ($25 M)
Bus Rapid Transit is a technology that reduces bus
travel times, improves the efficiency of transit service
and reduces conflicts between bus service and auto
travel on major streets. Three BRT corridors are
proposed:
x The Telegraph Avenue/East 14th/International
Boulevard project will provide enhanced transit
service connecting the Cities of San Leandro and
Oakland with potential improved rapid bus
services to UC Berkeley.
x The Grand/MacArthur BRT project will enhance
transit service and allow for significant reliability
improvements in this critical corridor as well as
enhancing access to regional services at the
MacArthur BART station.
x The Alameda to Fruitvale BART Rapid Bus
service will provide a fast and reliable connection
between the City of Alameda and the Fruitvale
BART station, providing service to new
development proposed for the City of Alameda.
Funds may be used for project development, design,
construction, access and enhancement of the rapid
transit corridors. These sales tax funds will allow the
Telegraph/East 14th/International project to be

LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
A total of 30% of the net
revenue anticipated from
this tax is dedicated to the
improvement of local
streets and roads. Streets
and roads investments
include two major
components: a program that provides
funding for local jurisdictions to maintain
streets and roads, and a capital program that
is focused on improving the performance of
major commute routes and bridges
throughout the County, including enhancing
seismic safety.
The Streets and Roads program in this
Expenditure Plan involves shared
responsibility – local cities and the County
will set their local priorities within a
framework that requires complete streets to
serve all users and types of transportation,
honors best practices and encourages
agencies to work together. More specifically,
streets and roads expenditures will be
designed to benefit all modes of travel by
improving safety, accessibility, and
convenience for all users of the street right-
of-way. The plan also focuses on important
commute corridors that carry the majority of
the driving public and cross city boundaries,
ensuring enhanced cooperation and
coordination between agencies.
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY PROGRAM
(20% OF NET REVENUES, $1,548 M)
In recognition that local streets and roads are the
backbone of our transportation system, this program
provides funds to local cities and Alameda County
for maintaining and improving local infrastructure.
Funds may be used for any local transportation need
based on local priorities, including streets and road
maintenance, bicycle and pedestrian projects, bus
stops, and traffic calming. All projects implemented
with these funds will support a “complete streets
philosophy” where all modes and users are
considered in the development of the local road
system. A minimum of 15% of all local streets and
roads funds will be spent on project elements directly
benefitting bicyclists and pedestrians.
The Local Streets and Roads Maintenance and Safety
program is designed as a pass-through program, with
funds being provided to local jurisdictions to be used
on locally determined priorities. Twenty percent of
net revenues will be allocated to local cities and the
county based on a formula that includes population
and road miles for each jurisdiction, weighted
equally, consistent with the current Measure B
formula. The formula will be revisited within the first
five years of the plan to ensure overall geographic
equity in the TEP. This program is intended to
augment, rather than replace, existing transportation
funding.
MAJOR COMMUTE CORRIDORS, LOCAL
BRIDGE AND SEISMIC SAFETY
INVESTMENTS ($800 M)
Major commute routes, illustrated on the map on
page 2-14, serve a high percentage of the daily
commuters in Alameda County and the majority of
trips for other purposes. These roads are crucial for
the movement of goods to stores and consumers, for
transit riders and for motorists, and for bicyclists and
pedestrians. Concentrating improvements in these
corridors will improve access and efficiencies,
increase safety and reduce congestion.
This program focuses funding on improvements to
major roads, bridges, freight improvements and
railroad grade separations or quiet zones. Examples
of commute corridors eligible for funding include,
but are not limited to, the following:

HIGHWAY EFFICIENCY AND FREIGHT INVESTMENTS
The County's aging
highway system requires
safety, access and gap
closure improvements to
enhance efficiencies on a
largely built-out system.
Funding has been
allocated to each highway corridor in
Alameda County for needed improvements.
Specific projects have been identified based
on project readiness, local priority and the
availability to leverage current investments
and funds. A number of additional eligible
projects have been identified as candidates
for corridor improvements, which will be
selected for funding based on their
contribution to the overall goals of improving
system reliability, maximizing connectivity,
improving the environment and reducing
congestion. Priority implementation of
specific investments and amounts will be
determined as part of the Capital
Improvement Program developed by the
Alameda CTC every two years.
Most of the projects that have been
identified for funding are designed to
improve the efficiency of and access to
existing investments and to close gaps and
remove bottlenecks.
A total of 9% of the net revenue is allocated
to the highway system, including 1%, or
approximately $77 M, allocated specifically to
goods movement and related projects.
I-80 CORRIDOR INVESTMENTS FROM
THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY LINE TO
THE BAY BRIDGE ($76 M)
I-80 in the northern part of the County is the most
congested stretch of freeway in the Bay Area.
Investments in the interchanges on this route were
selected to relieve bottlenecks, improve safety and
improve conditions for cars, buses, trucks and
bicyclists and pedestrians. Key investments will be
made at the Ashby and Gilman interchanges in
Berkeley, which will improve conditions for all
modes in both Emeryville and Berkeley.
The I-80 Gilman project will receive funding to
relieve a major bottleneck and safety problem at the I-
80 Gilman interchange. The project includes both a
major reconfiguration of the interchange and grade
separation of the roadway and the railroad crossing
which currently crosses Gilman at-grade impeding
traffic flow to and from the freeway. Improvements
will also be made for pedestrians and bicyclists
crossing this location and accessing recreational
opportunities west of the freeway, making this a true
multimodal improvement.
The Ashby Avenue corridor will receive funding to
fully reconstruct the Ashby Avenue Interchange by
eliminating the substandard eastbound on-ramp in
Berkeley’s Aquatic Park. The interchange will be fully
accessible to vehicles traveling to and from
Emeryville and Berkeley and east and west on I-80
will reduce local traffic congestion in Berkeley and
Emeryville and will improve bicycle and pedestrian
access. The project includes associated corridor
improvements on Ashby Avenue.

GOVERNING BODY AND
ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE
Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 3-1
Implementation of this sales tax is authorized under
the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement
Act, California Public Utilities Code Section 180000 et
seq. In enacting this ordinance, voters will authorize
the Alameda County Transportation Commission
(referred to herein as the Alameda CTC) to have the
responsibility to administer the tax proceeds in
accordance with all applicable laws and with the
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP). Funds
collected for this tax may be spent only for the
purposes identified in the TEP, as it may be amended
as described in the implementation guidelines. Under
no circumstances may the proceeds of this
transportation sales tax be applied to any purpose
other than for transportation improvements
benefitting Alameda County. Under no circumstances
may these funds be appropriated by the State of
California or any other governmental agency.
The Alameda County Transportation Commission
was created in July 2010 through a merger of two
existing agencies: the Alameda County
Transportation Improvement Authority, which
administered the existing Measure B half-cent
transportation sales tax, and the Alameda County
Congestion Management Agency, which was
responsible for long-range planning and
programming of transportation funds. The merger
was designed to save taxpayer money by developing
a single, streamlined organization focused on
planning, funding and delivering countywide
projects and programs with local, regional, state and
federal funds in the most efficient and effective
manner to serve the county’s transportation needs.
The merger has resulted in millions of dollars of
savings to taxpayer's on an annual basis.

CTC, annual strategic plans and annual reports
will all be prepared for public review. The
interests of the public will be further protected by
an Independent Watchdog Committee, described
previously in this plan.
3.Salary and Administration Cost Caps: The
Alameda CTC will have the authority to hire
professional staff and consultants to deliver the
projects and programs included in this plan in
the most efficient and cost-effective manner. The
salaries and benefits for administrative staff hired
by the Alameda CTC for this tax will not exceed
1% of the proceeds of the tax.
The total of all administrative costs including
overhead costs such as rent and supplies will be
limited to no more than 4% of the proceeds of
this tax.
The cost of Alameda CTC staff who directly
implement specific projects or programs are not
included in administrative costs.
4.Amendments Require 2/3 Support: To modify
and amend this plan, an amendment must be
adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Alameda
CTC Commissioners. All jurisdictions within the
county will be given a minimum of 45 days to
comment on any proposed TEP amendment.
5.Augment Transportation Funds: Pursuant to
California Public Utilities Code 180001 (e), it is
the intent of this expenditure plan that funds
generated by the transportation sales tax be used
to supplement and not replace existing local
revenues used for transportation purposes.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
PROCESS
6.Comprehensive Plan Updates: While the
transportation sales tax is intended to be
collected in perpetuity, this plan recognizes that
transportation needs, technology, and
circumstances change over time. This plan is
intended to govern the expenditure of new
transportation sales tax funds (not including the
existing Measure B funds), collected from
implementation in 2013 through subsequent tax
collections for an unlimited period, unless
otherwise terminated by the voters.
7.Comprehensive Plan Update Schedule: The
TEP will undergo a comprehensive update at
least one time no later than the last general
election prior to the end of 2042 and then at least
once every 20 years thereafter.
4-2 | Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan
IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES
8.Approval of a Comprehensive Updated Plan:
In order to adopt a comprehensive updated
expenditure plan, the Alameda County
Transportation Commission will appoint an
Expenditure Plan Update Advisory Committee,
representing the diverse interests of Alameda
County residents, businesses and community
organizations to assist in updating the plan. The
meetings of this committee will be publicly
noticed, and the committee will be responsible
for developing a public process for soliciting
input into the comprehensive plan update.
A recommendation for the adoption of the
updated expenditure plan shall require a two-
thirds vote of the Alameda CTC Commissioners
and shall be taken back to the local jurisdictions
including the cities, Alameda County and transit
agencies for review and comment. The
comprehensive plan update will appear on a
general election ballot in Alameda County for
approval by the voters, requiring a majority vote.
All meetings at which a comprehensive plan
update is considered will be conducted in
accordance with all public meeting laws and
public notice requirements and will be done to
allow for maximum public input into the
development of updating the plan.
TAXPAYER SAFEGUARDS, AUDITS AND
ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is of utmost importance in delivering
public investments with public dollars. The Alameda
CTC is committed to transparency and accountability
as a public agency along with its many jurisdictional
partners and there are many measures built into this
measure to ensure voter accountability in
expenditure of funds.
9.Annual Audits and Independent Watchdog
Committee Review: Transportation sales tax
expenditures are subject to an annual
independent audit and review by an
Independent Watchdog Committee. The
Watchdog Committee will prepare an annual
report on spending and progress in
implementing the plan that will be published and
distributed throughout Alameda County.
10.Strict Project Deadlines: To ensure that the
projects promised in this plan can be completed
in a timely manner, each project will be given a
period of seven years from the first year of
revenue collection (up to December 31, 2019) to
receive environmental clearance approvals and
to have a full funding plan for each project.
Project sponsors may appeal to the Alameda CTC
Commissioners for one-year time extensions.
11.Timely Use of Funds: Jurisdictions receiving
funds for transit operations, on-going road
maintenance, services for seniors and disabled,
and bicycle and pedestrian safety projects and
programs must expend the funds expeditiously
and report annually on the expenditure, their
benefits and future planned expenditures. These
reports will be made available to the public at the
beginning of each calendar year.
12.Annual Budget and Strategic Plan: Each year,
the Alameda CTC adopts an annual budget that
projects the expected sales tax receipts, other
anticipated funds and planned expenditures for
administration, programs and projects. The
Alameda CTC will also prepare an annual
Strategic Plan which will identify the priority for
projects and dates for project implementation
based on project readiness, ability to generate
leveraged funds and other relevant criteria. Both
the budget and the Strategic Plan will be adopted
at a public meeting of the Alameda CTC
Commissioners.
13.Commitments from Fund Recipients: All
recipients of funds allocated in this expenditure
plan will be required to sign a Master Funding
Agreement, detailing their roles and
responsibilities in spending sales tax funds and
including local hiring requirements. Funding
agreements will include performance and
accountability measures. In addition, fund
recipients will conduct an annual audit to ensure
that funds are managed and spent according to
the requirements of this expenditure plan.
14.Capital Improvement Program Updates: Project
descriptions will be detailed and fully defined for
inclusion in the Alameda CTC Capital
Improvement Program which will be updated
every two years, and which will provide for
geographic equity in overall funding allocations.
All allocations will be made through a public
process.
Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan | 4-3
IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES
15.Geographic Equity: Funding formulas for all
programs will be revisited within the first five
years of the plan to ensure overall geographic
equity based on population and /or other equity
factors. Funding for capital projects will be
evaluated through the biennial capital
improvement planning process which will
include an evaluation of geographic equity by
planning area.
RESTRICTIONS ON FUNDS
16.No Expenditures Outside of Alameda County:
Under no circumstances may the proceeds of this
transportation sales tax be applied to any
purpose other than for transportation
improvements benefitting Alameda County.
Under no circumstances may these funds be
appropriated by the State of California or any
other governmental agency, as defined in the
implementation guidelines.
17.Environmental and Equity Reviews: All projects
funded by sales tax proceeds are subject to laws
and regulations of federal, state and local
government, including but not limited to the
requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), and Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act, as applicable. All projects and
programs funded with sales tax funds will be
required to conform to the requirements of these
regulations, as applicable. All projects that go
through environmental review analyses will
select the most efficient and effective project
alternative and technology for implementation to
meet the objective of the project, and will have
clearly defined project descriptions, limits and
locations as a result of the environmental process.
18.Complete Streets: It is the policy of the Alameda
CTC that all transportation investments shall
consider the needs of all modes and all users. All
investments will conform to Complete Streets
requirements and Alameda County guidelines to
ensure that all modes and all users are
considered in the expenditure of funds so that
there are appropriate investments that fit the
function and context of facilities that will be
constructed.
19.Local Contracting and Jobs: The Alameda CTC
will develop a policy supporting the hiring of
local contractors, businesses and residents from
Alameda County as applicable in the expenditure
of these funds.
20.New Agencies: New cities or new entities (such
as new transit agencies) that come into existence
in Alameda County during the life of the Plan
could be considered as eligible recipients of
funds through a Plan amendment
PROJECT FINANCING GUIDELINES AND
MANAGING REVENUE FLUCTUATIONS
21.Fiduciary Duty: By augmenting and extending
the transportation sales tax, the Alameda CTC is
given the fiduciary duty of administering the
proceeds of this tax for the benefit of the
residents and businesses of Alameda County.
Funds may be accumulated by the Alameda CTC
or by recipient agencies over a period of time to
pay for larger and longer-term projects pursuant
to the policies adopted by the Alameda CTC. All
interest income generated by these proceeds will
be used for the purposes outlined in this TEP and
will be subject to audits.
22.Project and Program Financing: The Alameda
CTC will have the authority to bond for the
purposes of expediting the delivery of
transportation projects and programs. The bonds
will be paid with the proceeds of this tax. The
costs associated with bonding, including interest
payments, will be borne only by the capital
projects included in the TEP and any programs
included in the TEP that utilize the bond
proceeds. The costs and risks associated with
bonding will be presented in the Alameda CTC’s
annual Strategic Plan and will be subject to
public comment before any bond sale is
approved.
23.Programming of Funds: Actual revenues may, at
times, be higher than expected in this plan due to
changes in receipts and additional funds may
become available due to increased opportunities
for leveraging or project costs less than expected.
Revenue may be lower than expected as the
economy fluctuates. Estimates of actual revenue
will be calculated annually by the Alameda CTC
during its annual budget process. Any excess
revenue will be programmed in a manner that
will accelerate the implementation of the projects
4-4 | Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan
IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES
and programs described in this plan, at the
direction of the Alameda CTC Commissioners.
24.Fund Allocations: Should a planned project
become infeasible or unfundable due to
circumstances unforeseen at the time of this plan,
or should a project not require all funds
programmed for that project, funding will
remain within its modal category such as Transit,
Roads, Highways, Sustainable Transportation
and Land Use, or Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety,
and be reallocated to projects or programs in the
same funding category at the discretion of the
Alameda CTC.
25.Leveraging Funds: Leveraging or matching of
outside funding sources is strongly encouraged.
Any additional transportation sales tax revenues
made available through their replacement by
matching funds will be spent based on the
principles outlined for fund allocations described
above.

A New Mobility Plan for the 21st Century
A new Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) will go before voters in
November 2012 and will almost double local funding to maintain our current
system, keep needed transportation services in place, restore service cuts for
many providers and provide focused investments to meet the needs of Alameda
County’s growing population.
For the City of Dublin, this plan means continued transportation funding for
projects and programs that improve people’s mobility and access to transit and
help create more vibrant, livable communities. This plan will increase funding
to the City of Dublin for maintenance and upgrades of local streets and roads,
specialized transportation for seniors and people with disabilities and bicycle
and pedestrian safety. It also will provide additional funding to LAVTA Wheels
and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) to restore and
expand bus and train services.
Investments benefiting the City of Dublin and East County
x I-580/I-680 interchange improvements
x I-680 carpool/high-occupancy toll lanes from Alcosta Blvd to SR-237
x SR-84/I-680 interchange improvements and SR-84 widening
x Freight and interchange improvements on I-580
x Improvements on major commute corridors such as El Charro Road, Dublin
Boulevard, and Dougherty Road
x Bernal Bridge construction
x BART extension to Livermore
x Modernization of BART stations and critical system maintenance and
expansion
x Operating funds for LAVTA for Wheels transit service
x Student transit pass program and other projects to increase access to
transit
x Improvements to support transit oriented development at West Dublin and
East Dublin/Pleasanton BART stations
x Iron Horse Trail bicycle and pedestrian gap closure projects

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
Federal and state transportation
funding has declined dramatically.
Meanwhile, demand is increasing for
an efficient transportation system to
move our growing population and
the goods they need and to
improve access to jobs, education,
and services. Fortunately, one
funding source continues to be
strong: the local transportation
sales tax.
Measure B: In 1986, voters approved
Measure B, a half-cent
transportation sales tax, to fund
transportation improvements
throughout Alameda County. In
November 2000, Alameda County
voters approved an extension of the
first sales tax through 2022 to fund a
new set of project and program
investments throughout the county.
All of the major projects approved
by the voters in that measure are
either underway or complete,
10 years ahead of schedule.
2012 TEP: Alameda County's 2012
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP)
will fund critical improvements to
the county's transportation network,
restore and expand transit service,
expand transportation services for
seniors and people with disabilities,
relieve congestion throughout the
county and improve safety and
access for bicyclists and pedestrians.

2012 Transportation Expenditure Plan | City of Dublin
Transportation for the 21st Century: Jobs, Mobility, Community
The Alameda CTC has taken a
leadership role to develop a
bold new transportation plan
for Alameda County that will
create jobs, expand mobility
and provide critical
transportation services to
support every community in
Alameda County. The new
2012 Transportation
Expenditure Plan will keep
needed services in place and
restore previously cut services
for many providers.
Key features of the 2012 Transportation Expenditure Plan
x Fix-it-first strategy.Approximately 70 percent of the TEP funding
supports a fix-it-first strategy. It includes funding for transit and paratransit
operations, bus enhancements, BART’s core system, capital improvements,
local streets and roads pass-through programs, non-capacity expanding
projects on primary corridors, non-capacity expanding interchange
improvements, bicycle and pedestrian pass-through programs and
sustainable transportation investments.
x Sustainable communities and climate change.The TEP strengthens
transportation and land-use linkages and focuses on development that
brings together mobility choices, housing and jobs. It proposes funding for
infrastructure development that supports existing or proposed land uses in
and around transit hubs. It also promotes alternatives to single-occupant
vehicle trips by expanding transportation options to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions.
x Accountability. As a public agency, Alameda CTC is committed to
transparency and accountability and has built many safeguards into the new
tax measure to ensure accountability to the voters and proper expenditures
of funds through:
o Annual audits and Independent Watchdog Committee (IWC)
review: The IWC reports directly to the public on this review annually.
o Strict project deadlines:Each project must have environmental
clearance and a funding plan seven years from first revenue collection.
o Timely use of funds:Jurisdictions and transit agencies must spend
funds in a timely manner and report on these expenditures each year.
o Annual budget and strategic plan:Each year, Alameda CTC adopts
an annual budget and strategic plan to guide investments.
o Performance and accountability measures: These will be
included in every contract with fund recipients.
o Capital Improvement Program updates:The Capital
Improvement Program requires updates every two years through a
public process that provides for geographic equity.
x Geographic equity.The sales tax revenues will benefit every city, transit
operator and Alameda County, providing equitable investments throughout
the county.
ALAMEDA COUNTY'S
2012 TRANSPORTATION
EXPENDITURE PLAN (TEP)
The 2012 Alameda County TEP is a
New Mobility Plan for the 21st
Century that responds to critical
transportation needs. The vision is to
develop a premier transportation
system that supports a vibrant and
livable Alameda County. This calls
for a connected, integrated and
multimodal transportation system
that promotes sustainability,
access, transit operations, public
health and economic
opportunities. Alameda CTC
developed the TEP with guidance
from the public, community
advisory committees and elected
officials, incorporating key findings
from polling and extensive
outreach. The TEP was approved
by the Alameda CTC on
January 26, 2012.
INVESTMENTS IN THE FUTURE
The TEP will be placed on the
November 2012 ballot to augment
and extend the existing half-cent
sales tax. It will provide:
x $3.7 billion to double transit
operations and expand services
x $2.3 billion to repair streets
and roads
x $677 million to improve the
county's aging highway system
and decrease congestion
x $650 million to complete major
trails and fund bicycle and
pedestrian improvements
x $300 million for sustainable
transportation investments that
support transit, walking
and biking
x $77 million for technological
advancements to improve
efficiencies and advance
cleaner vehicles and energy

modifications for the new equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The adopted Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Budget includes $610,100 in fundin g for the Civic Center
Generator Project. The total project funding includes $35,100 for project design and
administration and $575,000 for equipment and improvements. On February 7, 2012 the City
Council approved a contract to purchase generator equipme nt in an amount not to exceed
$166,688. This reduced the budget available for installation and improvements from $575,000
to $408,312.
The project is funded by General Fund ($464,505) and the Equipment Replacement Internal
Service Fund (ISF) ($145,595). The proposed contract is for the installation of pre-purchased
generator equipment and completion of Civic Center modifications to accommodate the new
equipment. The lowest responsive bid, including a 10% contingency, is $245,300, which is less
than the available funds.

Waiver of Competitive Bid Process and Authorization of Staff to Purchase Digital
Radios
Prepared by Steve Brown, Lieutenant
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 2007, members of public agencies throughout Alameda County and the Bay Area, including
the City of Dublin, formed the East Bay Regional Communications Systems Authority (EBRCSA)
to enhance interoperable communications between mutual aid response teams and federal,
state, and local public agencies during emergency situations. EBRCSA has recommended the
conversion of the countywide radio system to a digital Motorola system that is compliant to
federal standards. All EBRCSA member agencies agreed to participate in the digital
conversion.
Digital conversion of the countywide radio system is scheduled to take place on July 1, 2012.
The purchase of 89 replacement vehicle and handheld radios and related support equipment is
proposed to prepare the City’s radio inventory for the conversion. Alameda County Sheriff’s
Office, in conjunction with formal bids obtained from Contra Costa Count y, conducted a
comparison of possible digital radio systems and determined that the Motorola APX6000 radio
model was the most cost-efficient option. The Dublin Municipal Code requires the City Council
authorize purchases in excess of $20,000 which use this type of arrangement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total cost to replace and upgrade the entire Dublin Police Services and Emergency
Operations Center radio inventory is $340,793. A complete replacement is required based on
the new Regional Radio System. In Fiscal Year 2011-2012, $62,000 is budgeted to replace
radios using Internal Service Funds. The costs in excess of the current budget ($278,793) will
require approval of a Budget Change. The additional costs are proposed to be funded from a
combination of sources: a) An additional appropriation of Internal Service Funds ($44,400); b)
An appropriation of Federal Asset Seizure Funds ($100,516); and c) An appropriation from the
General Fund Reserve Committed for Emergency Communications ($133,877).
Page 2 of 4
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Approve the Budget Change which appropriates
funds from a Committed Reserve; and 2) Adopt the Resolution authorizing a waiver of the
formal bid requirements and the purchase of Digital Radios and Equi pment from Red Cloud, Inc.

DESCRIPTION:
In 2007, members of public agencies throughout Alameda County and the Bay Area, including
the City of Dublin, formed the East Bay Regional Communications Systems Authority (EBRCSA)
to enhance interoperable communications between mutual aid response teams and federal,
state, and local public agencies during emergency s ituations. EBRCSA has recommended the
conversion of the countywide radio system to a digital Motorola system that is compliant to
federal standards. All EBRCSA member agencies agreed to participate in the digital
conversion.
In preparation for the digital conversion, Dublin Police Services endeavored to minimize the
number of radios that require replacement. During a previous upgrade process, a number of
radios were replaced by Motorola due to the radios’ inability to be upgraded. The replaced
radios will continue to be functional following the July 1 digital conversion, provided they receive
a flash upgrade. With the digital conversion, Dublin Police Services will no longer be able to
utilize the Emergency Operations Center charger station in the event of an emergency.
Therefore, an additional charger station will be purchased to provide an adequate number of
available charger stations.
In January 2012, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) selected the APX6000 radio
model to be used by County emergency personnel beginning July 1, 2012. The model selected
by ACSO is the most cost-efficient option that meets the necessary operational functions.
A small number of handheld radios designated for use in the Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) are incompatible with the digital conversion. The incompatible radios will be replaced
with functional radios currently owned by Dublin Police Services; all EOC radios will be made
compatible to the digital conversion with a flash upgrade. To ensure direct communication
between EOC, Public Safety, and Public Works staff during emergency situations, 24 handheld
radios will be added to the inventory currently maintained by the City,
Costs to make the radio inventory compatible with the proposed digital Motoro la radio system
are detailed in the table below:

Total Cost: $340,793
The total cost to purchase the Motorola equipment is $335,456; labor costs associated with the
radio installation ($5,337) will be purchased separately.
Of the total cost, $62,000 was included in the Fiscal Year 2011 -2012 Internal Service Fund
Equipment Replacement Budget. The remaining cost balance ($278,793) is available but
currently unbudgeted for the purchase of radios in Fiscal Year 2011-2012. Funding sources for
the balance include $44,400 from the Internal Service Fund Equipment Replacement ($1,000 of
this amount is funded by the Emergency Preparedness Department for EOC radios); $100,516
from Federal Asset Seizure Funds; and $133,877 from the General Fund Reserve Committed
for Emergency Communications. The General Fund Reserve Committed for Emergency
Communications had a fund balance of $741,000 as of June 30, 2011. This reserve was
established to proactively address costs associated with the radio transition. All currently
unbudgeted funds will require a budget adjustment (Attachment 1).
Section 2.36.050(A) (6) of the Municipal Code allows for exceptions to the formal bidding
process when the purchase involves goods of a technical nature and it would be difficult for a
vendor to bid on a standard set of specifications. In this instance, the City conducts a thorough
review of known products and a comparison of features which would most closely meet the
city’s needs at the least cost. The Code requires that any purchases made in this manner that
are more than $20,000 shall be approved by the City Council (Section 2.36.050(B)). Alameda
County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with formal bids obtained from Contra Costa County,
conducted the necessary financial review and determined that the selected Motorola AP X6000
radio model was the most cost-efficient option.
Motorola authorizes one vendor, Red Cloud Inc., to act as its representative and to provide
Motorola equipment in Alameda County. A resolution has been prepared which authorizes the
purchase using Motorola’s assigned Manufacturer’s Representative, Red Cloud, Inc.
(Attachment 2). The total cost of the radio inventory replacement and upgrade will not exceed
$340,793, including installation and labor.

Award of Bid – Contract No. 12-02, Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Annual Sidewalk
Safety Repair Program and Curb Ramp Installation
Prepared by Ananthan Kanagasundaram, Assistant Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On February 21, 2012, the City Council authorized Staff to solicit bids for Contract No. 12-02,
Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program and Curb Ramp Installation.
Contract No Contract No. 12-02 is proposed to complete improvements identified in two Capital
Improvement Projects. The Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program (CIP No. 949103) will
remove and replace approximately 3,900 square feet of sidewalk with offsets of 3/4-inch or more
that may pose a tripping hazard. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan
(CIP No. 939103) will complete the installation of 10 curb ramps.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total budgeted for the two projects is $103,740 ($84,090 for the Annual Sidewalk Repair
Program and $19,650 for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan). The
project budgets include a total of $20,890 allocated for design, inspection, and project
coordination. The remaining $82,850 was budgeted for improvements. The quantities used for
the Engineers estimate were based on initial surveys, with the expectation that additional
locations may be identified in the field.
As shown below the following two budget adjustments are recommended based on the
recommended award of a contract: 1) A transfer of $3,750 from the Sidewalk Project
(CIP#949103) to the ADA Ramp Project (CIP# 939103 ). This transfer is possible as, based on
the bids received, excess funds are available in the Sidewalk Project. 2) Use of Congestion
Management Agency TIP (CMATIP) funding to construct the missing sidewalk on Sierra Court
just north of Dublin Boulevard. Anticipated construction cost of this improvement is
approximately $30,000 including 10% contingency. This additional work will be negotiated after
the award of the bid.

DESCRIPTION:
The Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program (remove and replace) repairs sidewalk offsets of
3/4-inch or more that may pose a tripping hazard. The remove and replace process is used in
locations where the offset is more significant or where tree roots are causing the offset. This
procedure requires the removal of the existing sidewalk and, in the case of root problems,
removal of the tree roots, and then replacement of the concrete sidewalk.
While maintenance of sidewalks and other frontage improvements is legally the responsibility of
the adjacent private property owner, the City Council has adopted a City-funded sidewalk repair
program on a year-by-year basis since 1983. The City Council extended funding for the City-
paid repair program for an additional year in the Fiscal Year 2011-12 budget.
The bidder specifications for the Sidewalk Repair Project (CIP#949103) requested costs for
removal and installation of approximately 3,900 square feet of sidewalk and curb and gutter at
locations to be designated by the City. The bids received were below the amount budgeted for
improvements and Staff requests approval to modify the final expense by 20% to account for
additional locations. As part of approved grant funds from the Congestion Management Agency
Traffic Improvement Program (CMATIP), funding is available to construct the missing sidewalk
on Sierra Court just north of Dublin Boulevard (Attachment 1). Staff is requesting that the City
Council authorize the City Manager to execute a change order not to exceed $30,000 to
complete this work.
ADA Curb Ramp Project (CIP#939103) includes the construction of approximately ten (10)
pedestrian curb ramps. The ramps are funded by General Fund as identified in the ADA
Transition Plan. This work is proposed to be completed by the same Contra ctor since the work
is similar type work and combining the projects will be a cost-savings due to economy of scale.
Based on the bids (plus contingency) received for this work, additional funds would be required,
or there would need to be a reduction in the number of ramp locations. Staff recommends that
the City Council authorize a transfer of $3,750 from the Sidewalk Project (CIP#949103) to the
ADA Ramp Project (CIP# 939103). This transfer is possible as, based on the bids received,
excess funds are available in the Sidewalk Project.
Bids Received
A total of 8 bids were received for this project (Attachment 2). The low bid of $59,922.00 was
submitted by AJW Construction. Staff has reviewed the bid results, checked references,
necessary licenses, and recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution awarding
Contract No. 12-02, Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program and Curb
Ramp Installation to AJW Construction as the lowest responsive bidder (Attachment 3). A
Budget change (Attachment 4) is required to address full funding for the Curb Ramp project and
account for the special grant funds to complete additional sidewalk work.

Acceptance of Work – Contract No. 11-10, 2011 Annual Slurry Seal Program
Prepared by Steven Yee, Public Works Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Annual Slurry Seal Program (CIP No. 969203) resurfaced several City streets with a slurry
seal that will prolong the life of the existing pavement surface. As streets begin showing wear
and stress cracking, it is important to seal the cracks to keep water from getting under the
roadway pavement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Budget includes $653,978 in funding for the 2011-2012 Slurry Seal
Maintenance Project (CIP No. 969203). The total project funding includes $ 53,150 for project
design, inspection and administration and $600,228 for improvements. The actual cost of
improvements is $575,512 which accounted for larger slurr y seal area, additional pavement
striping and additional street sweeping requested by the City.

DESCRIPTION:
On September 6, 2011, a contract was awarded to American Asphalt Rep air and Resurfacing
Co., Inc. to perform the 2011 Annual Slurry Seal Program for the low bid amount of $545,661.95.
The final cost of improvements is $575,512 which accounted for larger slurry seal area,
additional pavement striping and additional street sweeping requested by the City. The final
cost was less than the base bid with a maximum 10% contingency.
Slurry seal is a preventative maintenance technique used to prolong the life of asphalt concrete
surfacing. As streets begin showing wear and stress cracking, it is important to seal the cracks
to keep water from getting under the roadway pavement. Slurry consists of a sand/oil mixture
which seals cracks and provides a new uniform wearing surface. Eighty -nine streets (as shown
on the Location Map - Attachment 1) were included for slurry seal as part of the 2011 Annual
Slurry Seal Program. The total slurry seal area in the project is approximately 2.2 million square
feet.
Staff has reviewed the work and determined the work is complete.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Public Noticing is not required. A copy of the Staff Report was provided to the contractor.

Request to Waive Competitive Bid Process, Authorize Staff to Purchase Public
Works Vehicles Directly from Vendor and Declare Replaced Vehicles as Surplus
Property
Prepared by Steven Yee, Public Works Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Public Works Department currently has two Pub lic Works Inspectors’ vehicles scheduled for
replacement. Staff is requesting to waive the competitive bid process, purchase the vehicles
from Downtown Ford Sales at the State contract price , and declare the replaced vehicles as
surplus property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The adopted Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund budget
estimated the cost to replace the vehicles would total $58,660. The cost of the vehicles under
the State purchase program will be $50,909, with the remaining funds available to install the
necessary safety lighting and marking on the vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution waiving the competitive bid
process, authorizing staff to purchase Public Works vehicles directly from the vendor, and
declaring replaced vehicles as surplus property (four–fifths [4/5] vote required).

DESCRIPTION:
Currently, the Public Works Department has two Ford F150 vehicles used by Public Works
Inspectors. The vehicles were purchased in 2003. In order to assure reliability and to minimize
repair expense, Staff is recommending replacing the nearly 9 year old trucks with new 2012
Ford F150 4x4 vehicles. Staff researched all available 4x4 vehicles including alternative fuel
Page 2 of 3
vehicles and determined that the Ford F150 truck is the best suited vehicle available for
purchase through the current State of California vehicle purchase contract. The other 4x4
option offered through the State contract included the Chevy Tahoe SUV Hybrid vehicle,
however, the 2012 model is no longer available and the cost was approximately $10,000 more
per vehicle.
Under the State of California 2011-2012 vehicle purchase contract, Downtown Ford Sales in
Sacramento has agreed to provide Ford vehicles to public agencies at an agreed price. No local
dealerships were awarded a State vehicle purchase contract. The pricing of each vehicle is
outlined below:
Ford F150 4x4 Super Cab ½ Ton Pickup Downtown Ford Sales
Vehicle Cost $23,210.00
Shipping $ 150.00
Sales Tax (8.75%) $ 2,030.88
Doc Fee $ 55.00
Tire Fee $ 8.75
Total: $25,454.63
Total for 2 Vehicles: $50,909.26
The total Internal Service Fund (ISF) cost for the purchase of two replacement vehicles from the
State-authorized dealer is $50,909.26.
The City’s Purchasing Ordinance requires that major purchases over $20,000 be subject to the
competitive bid process. The adopted Purchasing Ordinance provides that the competitive bid
process may be waived under the following circumstances:
When another public agency has administered a competitive bidding process within the
past two years, for the same or substantially similar supplies, services or equipment
(D.M.C. §2.36.050); and
When City Council specifically waives the competitive bid process and authorizes Staff to
negotiate the purchase of vehicles by a four-fifths (4/5) vote (D.M.C. §2.36.050(a) 11).
Staff requests the City Council apply these exceptions and authorize the purchase of
replacement Public Works Inspector vehicles directly from the vendor, Downtown Ford Sales.
Following delivery, the City will be responsible for additional c osts associated with marking the
vehicles and installing safety lighting equipment. There is adequate ISF for these additional
costs.
Once the purchased vehicles are in service, Staff is also requesting City Council authorization to
dispose of the two replaced vehicles. The retired vehicles will be transferred to a professional
auction company for sale. Posting of the auction will be conducted in accordance with standard
practice.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:

Sunset of Temporary Suspension of the Public Art Requirement for Residential
Projects
Prepared by Paul McCreary, Parks and Community Services Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In April, 2009, the City Council adopted an ordinance “Temporarily Suspending the Public Art
Requirement for Residential Projects in excess of 20 units” for a two year term. In April 2011
the City Council adopted another ordinance to extend the temporary suspension one more year,
and the suspension will expire in May 2012. Staff was directed by the City Council to review the
state of residential development in the City towards the end of the additional one year
suspension, in order to make a recommendation to possibly extend the suspension for an
additional period of time. The City Council Ad-Hoc Economic Development Subcommittee is
recommending the temporary suspension be allowed to sunset and expire on May 19, 2012 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Since May 2009 the City has waived over $2.3 million in public art fees on residential
development. Currently the Public Art Fund has an available balance of approximately
$275,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to allow the temporary ordinance to expire
on May 19, 2012.

DESCRIPTION:

At the City Council meetings of April 7 and 21, 2009, the City Council introduced and adopted
an ordinance “Temporarily Suspending the Public Art Requirement for Residential Projects”.
The ordinance was for a two-year term and was set to expire on May 21, 2011. At the City
Council meetings of April 5 and April 19, 2011, the City Council introduced and adopted another
ordinance “Temporarily Suspending the Public Art Requirement for Residential Projects” for a
one year term. That ordinance is set to expire on May 19, 2012.
The suspension of the Public Art Requirement for Residential Projects was suggested by City
Council as an economic stimulus in light of the numerous impacts the econo mic crisis was
having on Dublin, especially regarding the notable slowdown in the pace of residential
development in the City. Staff concluded that it would be worthwhile to consider implementing a
temporary suspension of the City’s Public Art Ordinance, codified in Chapter 8.58 of the Dublin
Municipal Code, as it applies to residential developments. Staff was directed by the City Council
to review the state of residential development in the City towards the end of the suspension, and
to make a recommendation regarding the possibility of extending the suspension for an
additional period of time.
During the three year suspension the City has waived over $2.3 million in public art fees on
residential developments. Staff met with the City Council Ad-Hoc Economic Development
Subcommittee to review the ordinance and provide information on the impacts to date. Based
on the amount of fees waived to date, and the fact that the pace of residential development is
growing, the Subcommittee recommends taking no further action and allowing the ordinance to
expire on May 19, 2012.
Overview of Public Art Requirements on Residential Development
If the City Council takes no further action, on May 20, 2012 , Chapter 8.58 of the Dublin
Municipal Code (the “Public Art Ordinance”) will be in effect, which requires most commercial
development projects and residential development projects with more than twenty units to either
acquire and construct a piece of public art on or near the development site, or make a monetary
contribution to the City in-lieu of constructing a piece of public art. Developers may choose
which option they wish to take. The Public Art Ordinance contains an exemption for certain
development projects, such as day care centers and low-income housing projects.
Chapter 8.58 requires the developers of any project subject to its provisions to submit a Public
Art Compliance Report—indicating whether the developer will acquire and install public art or
make a monetary contribution to the City—to the Community Development Director at the time
they apply for Site Development Review (“SDR”) approval for the project.
Section 8.104.070 of the Municipal Code, lists the required findings that must be made in order
to approve an SDR application, and includes a requi rement that the application comply with
Chapter 8.58. Thus, in order to approve an SDR application by a project covered by the Public
Art Ordinance, the approved SDR will contain a condition of approval requiring the developer to
comply with either Section 8.58.070.D or Section 8.58.070.D, depending on which approach the
developer has identified in its Public Art Compliance Report. The conditions of approval also
make reference to the “trigger,” the time at which the developer must take action on this
requirement.
Section 8.58.070.D of the Dublin Municipal Code provides that any developer electing to acquire
and install public art at the development site must both secure completion of the public art
project in a manner deemed satisfactory to the City Mana ger and execute an agreement with
the City setting forth the ownership, maintenance responsibilities, and insurance coverage for

the public art project prior to granting of occupancy by the City of the first structure in the project.
Thus, the successful completion of a final inspection of the first structure in the project by the
City Building Department is the “trigger” for developers that will acquire and install public art to
satisfy their obligation under the Public Art Ordinance.
Section 8.58.070.C provides that any developer electing to make a contribution in-lieu of
installing public art must make the payment prior to issuance of the first building permit in the
project. Thus, the issuance of the first building permit is the “trigger” for develo pers that will
make a contribution in-lieu of installing public art to satisfy their obligation under the Public Art
Ordinance.
The ordinances adopted in April of 2009 and May of 2011 were intended to ensure that the
suspension of the public art requireme nt occurs only if, during the suspension period, a
developer of a residential project reaches one of the two trigger points in the development
process (At the successful completion of a final inspection of the first structure for art providers
and upon issuance of the first building permits for in-lieu fee payers). Until that point in time, the
provisions of Chapter 8.58, including the requirement to submit a Public Art Compliance Report
in conjunction with site development review of the project, are still applicable. If a developer
does reach the trigger point during the effective term of the existing ordinance, then its
responsibility to comply with the Public Art Ordinance will be extinguished as to the project
covered by the SDR.
By tying the suspension to the SDR, the City ensures that, in the case of larger projects which
may be proceeding in separate phases with separate SDRs, the extinguishment of the public art
requirement will apply, not to the entire project at one time, but only to the portion of the overall
project that is covered by the triggering SDR.
The intent of the ordinance was to encourage residential construction during the current
economic downturn. Thus, the City only granted a waiver of the public art requirement to
developers whose projects were actually under construction during the current economic
downturn and who may be deterred from commencing constructing due to the requirements of
the Public Art Ordinance. This is why the ordinance applies only if a project is at the trig ger
point. The City did not wish to waive the requirement for development projects that would not
begin construction for many years, when the economy may in better shape than it is now. The
City also wanted to ensure that development projects take the ne cessary steps so that the
developers can easily comply with the Public Art Ordinance once the provisions of the draft
ordinance expire.
Thus, if a developer of a residential project applies for a building permit or final inspection
shortly after the term of this ordinance has expired, the developer will have a completed
Compliance Report, and should be prepared to comply with the requirements of Chapter 8.58 by
either installing a piece of public art at the development site or making an in -lieu payment to the
City.

and/or groups in action based activities to help improve the community. This year, Dublin Pride
Week is scheduled to start on Saturday, April 28 and will conclude on Saturday, May 5, 2012.

Dublin/San Ramon Women’s Club
Dublin Lion’s Club
Senior Foundation
Community Volunteers
This year the committee picked a new logo. The slogan used in the previous logo, “Our City,
Our Home,” was maintained in the new logo. The attached brochure (Attachment 1) and other
informational media utilize the new logo in addition to the “Our City, Our Home” slogan. This
year’s slogan is “It’s Our All-America City…Be Involved!” which draws attention to the fact that
Dublin was recognized as a 2011 All-America City by the National Civic League.
The proposed 2012 Dublin Pride Activities are as follows:
Poster & Essay Contest:
The poster contest has been a Dublin Pride Week tradition for many years. This year an essay
contest is being incorporated as well. The essay theme is “Why My City is An All -America City.”
The Dublin San Ramon Women’s Club has again volunteered to organize and manage the
poster and essay contest. The Poster and Essay Contest are open to all Dublin students grade s
K-12. Winning artwork and essays will be displayed at the Civic Center. Awards will be handed
out at a future Dublin City Council Meeting.
School Giveaways:
Dublin Pride promotional items will be given to each child that attends school in Dublin. This
year’s giveaways are silicone bracelets (made from recycled silicone). The bracelets are green
and include the Dublin Pride “Our City, Our Home” slogan.
Food Drive:
Collection bins will be set up at the grocery stores within Dublin including the two Safe way
Stores, Sprouts, Ranch 99 and Grocery Outlet. All food collected will be divided equally and
donated to food banks that solely service Dublin, such as the Dublin Children’s Emergency
Council and the Well Christian Community. Collection bins will also b e set up at Volunteer Day
with a request for volunteers to bring a canned food item with them to Volunteer Day.
Household Hazardous Waste Collection:
Dublin residents will be allowed to drop off household hazardous waste free of charge and also
pick up free compost for their personal use. The event will be held at the MicroDental, a DTI
Laboratory, site located at 5601 Arnold Drive (corner of Arnold and Central Parkway) on May 5,
2012. An announcement with reservation information will be sent to Dublin residents via U.S.
mail informing them of the event place and time.
Volunteer Day Projects:
Volunteer Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 2012 beginning at 8:00 a .m. and will
conclude with a free BBQ at the Heritage Park by the Dublin Lion’s Club. Docen t led tours of the
Heritage Park will be available following the BBQ. All volunteers will also receive a free reusable

Fitness Challenge:
This year, the Pride Week Committee has decided to expand the fitness chall enge that was
added to Dublin Pride Week last year. The program (Attachment 2) centers on collecting points
for various fitness or good health related activities that are completed throughout Pride Week. A
form was also created for students. Residents and students will be asked to keep a daily total
and submit it to the City at the end of the week. The Challenge for the community will be to
accumulate at least 3,000 points for the entire week. In order to provide incentive for participants
to provide a score to the City, the Pride Week Committee recommends that a raffle of small
prizes, such as movie tickets, be held for residents and students that turn in their forms. In
addition, the Committee proposes that the City Council provide recognition to the top t hree
highest point getters at a future City Council meeting. Residents are able to download the
program from the Pride Week website and have been distributed to the schools.
Farmer’s Market Grand Opening:
The Grand Opening of the Farmer’s Market will be held on Thursday, May 3, 2012 from 4:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Emerald Glen Park. Residents who attend the Farmer’s Market will be able
to earn five points for the Fitness Challenge. The Dublin San Ramon Services District and Zone
7 Water Agency will be sponsoring a “Water Conservation Zone” at the Farmers Market where
residents can apply for money-saving rebates, enter a water-efficient landscape contest, and
take home free, practical information on water-wise living.
Bike Flat Tire Repair Clinic:
Dublin residents will be able to receive a free bike check-up and instructions for minor bike
repairs at the intersection of Amador Valley and the Ironhorse Trail from 10:30 a .m. to 12:30
p.m. on Saturday, May 5, 2012.
Public Outreach:
The success of Dublin Pride Week is largely dependent on the public outreach campaign
developed to increase the community’s awareness and participation in the activities and
volunteer opportunities. This year’s public outreach efforts include:
Website - www.dublinprideweek.com. The website was developed for participants
to obtain up-to-date information on the various activities and volunteer
opportunities surrounding Dublin Pride Week. The website also includes a place
