.
This money will, in turn, fund regional transportation projects necessitated by new development; .
however, it will not fund all of the projects listed in the Draft Resolution. The 1-5801I-680 Flyove
Project will be given number 1 priority, and the rest of the projects will be rated later for the
development of a funding priority list.
The City of Dublin's existing Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee already includes a regional
component. The adoption of the TVTe regional fee will result in a reduction of approximately
$11 million (or approximately 9%) of Dublin's existing TIF because some of the projects are
included on the project lists for both fees.
The impact on Dublin to collect and administer the TVTDF is unknown at this time.
DESCRIPTION: The TVTC has been working for several years on common
transportation issues, as well as the proposal to establish a regional transportation fee which would be
collected on new development.
On June 3, 1997, the City Council reviewed a proposal from the TVTC setting forth the guidelines and
fees for a proposed regional transportation fee, to be known as the Tri- Valley Transportation Development
Fee (IVTDF).
After reviewing comments from all of the Tri-Valley jurisdictions, the TVTC revised the proposed .
TVTDF and some of its policies, most of which are in line with Mayor Houston's suggestions. The
amounts of the TVTDF have been reduced from the :first draft, and the Town ofDanville and CIty of
San Ramon have now agreed that any Development Agreements or Vesting Tentative Maps which e>"'Pire
or undergo significant changes after January 1, 1998, should be subject to the TDF. Significant changes
are defined in Paragraph 11 of the Draft Resolution.
Staffhas reviewed the Draft Resolution and recommends that the following revisions be made:
1) That the project to provide HOV lanes on 1-680 between SR 84 and the Sunol Grade be listed as
project priority number 2 behind the 1-5801I~680 flyover project. This highway segment has
rapidly become one of the most congested transportation routes in the Bay Area.
2) That the effective date for the imposition of these fees be January 1, 1998, for all 7 participating
jurisdictions. This will put all jurisdictions on the same timing for the beginning of fee collection.
3) That a sentence be added to Paragraph No.8 of the Draft Resolution stating:
"The three Contra Costa County jurisdictions shall not withhold any TVTDF collected until the
TVTC establishes a list of priorities for obligating the TVTDF funding for these projects."
Contra Costa eounty, the City of San Ramon, and the Town ofDanville want to insure that .
projects in Contra Costa County receive funding. The above sentence would preclude retaining
fees if the projects are not in the fmallist of projects to be funded.

.
.
.
Since Dublin will collect the largest percentage of the fees of the various participating jurisdictions, Staff
is proposing that Dublin offer to administer the collection atld disbursement of the funds generated by the
TVTDF.
As indicated in the Financial Statement above, projects that are common to both Dublin's Eastern Dublin
Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) and the final approved TVTDF will be eliminated from Dublin's TIF. resulting
in an estimated $11 million reduction in the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee.
Staff recommends that the eity eouncil review the Draft Resolution and Staffs comments, suggest
modifications, if necessary, and direct that the draft letter outlining the Council's recommendations
be sent to the Chairperson of the TVTC.

Councilman Hermann Welm, Chairperson
Tri-Valley Transportation Council
clo City of San Ramon

San Ramon CA 94583
SUBJECT: Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee
Dear Mr. Welm:
The City Council of the City of Dublin would like to congratulate the Tri-Valley
Transportation Council (lVTC) for the development of the draft Transportation
Development Fee. Our Council believes that regional cooperation has eased the way
to solving future traffic congestion in the Tri-Valley area.
Dublin is supportive of your Resolution with the recommendation that the lVTC address
and clarify the 'following items:
1) Due to the fact that 1-680 over the Sunol Grade is one of the most congested
Freeways in the Bay Area, the City of Dublin requests that this project be rated
second on the project priority list for TVTC Funding behind the 1-580/1-680
Flyover project.
2) Paragraph 12 should be amended to read, "That these Principles of Agreement
for the TVTDF shall take effect upon their adoption by the seven member
jurisdictions of the Tri-Valley Transportation Council, to be effective January 1,
1998."
3) As part of the SCCJEPA Area, Contra Costa County jurisdictions shall not
withhold any lVTDF collected until the TVTC establishes a list of priorities for
obligating the TVTDF funding for these projects.

It is anticipated that a member jurisdiction will be designated to administer the collection
and disbursement of funds generated by the Fee. The City of Dublin hereby offers to
provide this service to the TVTC member jurisdictions.
Again, I would like to thank the Tri-Valley Transportation Council for the long hours
spent on the task of improving the quality of life in the Tri-Valley area.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office.

TVTC Members
Attached is the revised "Principles of Agreement for Adoption of Tri-Valley
Transportation Development Fee" Resolution. The language is the result of
discussions in our June 18 meeting and refinements as added by the nlTc
TAC. Please bring your Board or Council members' comments on the
August 27, 1997 meeting.
Given the many and varied discussions about this Fee, It appears that this
current resolution is acceptable for forwarding to each of your Councils and
Boards. If there is any further significant need for revision please contact me
so that we can notify each jurisdiction prior to their resolution enactment.
The passage of this resolution should allow us to proceed with the final fee
draft ordinances and procedural refinements.
