Box 2050■Oakland,CA 94604-2050 RECEIYEp FEB 13 1987 February 10, 1987 CITY OF Cljtp Dear Colleague: This is my first opportunity to address all ABAG members since taking office in January. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the General Assembly on March 27th, as we approve a budget for the activities we will undertake together in fiscal year 1987-88. The Executive Director's message--and the budget document itself--highlight this year's achievements and outline our objectives for the future. After very careful review, the Finance & Personnel Committee recommended a proposed increase in per capita dues of 3.5%, together with a small adjustment in the membership fee from $250 to $275. Even allowing for an increase in the region's population, this adds barely one percent to the budget--since local dues contribute only a fifth of the Association's income. Together with the other COGs in California we shall continue our efforts to secure legislation that will provide a stable source of funding. The Executive Board has given preliminary approval to the proposed budget and work program and the assessment schedule. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to attend the Board's final review of the budget on February 19th at 7:30 p.m. And of course you may also contact your Executive Board representative to express your views. After the Board considers the comments received, it will forward its budget recommendations to the General Assembly for adoption on March 27th. Finally, you should have received information about the General Assembly program. Once again we will be hearing the views of.knowledgeable and provocative speakers, this time on "Strategies for a Competitive Region." Every city and county has a stake in maintaining the Bay Area's economic vitality, and I do hope you can be there. Best wishes, Councilmember Richard L.

Box 2050■Oakland,CA 94604-2050 January 5, 1987 President Spees and Members of the Executive Board Association of Bay Area Governments Ladies and Gentlemen: A year ago I suggested that "To continue serving our members with a high degree of professionalism will not be easy. We must concentrate on direct, money-saving services, which in turn pay for themselves." We have pursued that course, and it is our direction for the future. Responding to the insurance crisis affecting our members, in June we launched ABAG PLAN--Pooled Liability Assurance Network--a self-insurance pool now numbering 25 cities. We hired a risk manager, and opened a South Bay office. In August we agreed to provide similar services to the seven- member Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority, so we are now providing liability coverage services to a third of the cities in the Bay Area. Our Health Benefits Trust entered its second year, and now numbers more than 20 agencies. In July we hired a director for our Training Institute, and began a successful expansion from courses in computer skills and technical expertise growing out of our environmental management programs, to include management and leadership training and insurance and risk management. In the last two months our Credit Pooling program has handled three transactions involving more than $10 million. So far we have issued more than $50 million in certificates of participation for 43 cities, counties and special districts. These programs have together saved our members roil lions of dollars. But I also suggested last year another area in which we needed to make progress: "Maintaining both a healthy economy and a livable environment cannot be accomplished without a significant improvement in the current level of regional planning." Since that time, under the Regional Planning Committee's guidance, we have started to examine ways in which our data resources, and our ability to consider cumulative impacts, can best serve locally initiated subregional planning efforts. We live, work and travel in a region so large and so complex that no top-down approach can succeed in grappling with all our dispersed problems of housing , jobs and traffic. Representing City and County Governments of the San Francisco Bay Area Metro Center■ Eighth & Oak Streets■Oakland e(415)464-7900 The other side of this coin is what people are just beginning to perceive-- the interconnectedness of the Bay Area's economy, and how important that is to every part of the region. The past year has brought increasing recognition of ABAG's value as a forum for presenting an overall view of regional issues, from development impacts on waterfront lands to AIDS education, from abandoned vehicles to the jobs/housing balance in key traffic corridors, and from the holding of a future Olympiad to analyzing the Bay Area's economic future. You may have noticed how frequently our demographic and economic projections are quoted by the news media. Once again I have to point out that ABAG's long-term ability to serve the Bay Area's growing population depends on securing a permanent source of funding, and once again we shall pursue that by legislative means. In the meantime, I am recommending for the coming fiscal year a 3.5 percent increase in per capita dues, together with an adjustment of the membership fee from $250 to $275. Allowing for population growth, this gives an increase of about five percent in local contributions. But because member contributions cover barely a fifth of ABAG's costs, this adds only one percent to our overall income. We can balance our budget only by continuing to expand our local government services. I am grateful for the support of a dedicated and highly motivated staff, and we look forward to serving you in the Association' s 27th year. Re ectfull submitte Revan A. F. 'ranter Executive Director 2 Summary of ABAG Services and Accomplishments OUR MEMBERS GET HIGH-CALIBER SERVICES AND PROGRAMS In 1986 ABAG: • Formed ABAG's Pooled Liability Assurance Network(PLAN) which offers 25 member cities increased coverage at tremendous savings and provides them with control over future premiums and protection from the uncertainties of the commercial market. ABAG also administers Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority of seven Alameda and Santa Clara County Cities. • Expanded financial services for cities and special districts. Credit Pooling closed its 16th transaction in December with financing provided through the program now capping $50 million. •Helped member governments clamp the lid on health care benefits costs by launching a pooled health benefits trust. Participants manage and control their own health benefits cost through the trust. There are 21 member jurisdictions. •Provided hypertension education, monitoring and follow-up, after recognizing the costs in both human suffering and health care expenditures. •Provided through the ABAG Training institute nearly 200 workshops for hundreds of elected officials and staff members on such topics as data base management, seismic safety and liability, erosion control, development finance, and hazardous materials management. • Produced numerous studies, analyses and publications that contain information not available anywhere else on demographics,economic competitiveness, earthquake liability, solid waste problems, energy and many other topics. • Held a huge West Coast hazardous materials management technical conference and exhibit--both bringing state-of-the-art information and training to our members and 2,300 conference participants and training hazardous materials spills responders. • Completed a marsh in Southern Alameda County and completing a two-year monitoring program finding the marsh an effective method for removing harmful materials from urban runoff. • Developed guidelines for regional and county hazardous waste management plans mandated by AB 2948, with assistance of the nine county Solid Waste Management Coordination Committee. (over) 3 i • Sponsored a series of public/private issues breakfasts throughout the region, co- sponsored by Corporate Associates of ABAG, bringing business and public leaders face to face to discuss problems of mutual concern. WE ARE YOUR REGIONAL PLANNING AGENCY • ABAG, which you own and operate, has been designated by the State as the regional planning agency for the Bay Area. •The State uses ABAG's projections of population, housing and employment in determining certain project grants and allocations. We work carefully with our members to prepare these figures. • By Federal statute and State designation, ABAG is the regional water quality planning agency and co-lead agency for air quality planning in the Bay Area. WE PROTECT LOCAL CONTROL By banding together at the regional level, we have more clout in promoting support for local needs with the State and Federal governments, and in protecting ourselves against State and Federal intervention in strictly local issues. 1/87 4 COMPARISON OF LOCALLY RAISED FUNDS OF REGIONAL AGENCIES (per capita) Fiscal Years 1977-78 through 1986-87 1.a 1.89 1.51 • 1.5 1.4 1.24 1.2 1.16 cd 1.05 U >~ BAAQMD .93 W 9 .85 .87 a .75 111 .60 .65 .64 -4 .6 .53 58 Q .4 A .44 .38 MTC* 4 .47 .3 12 .11 .12 .13 ABAG 04 .05 O6 .08 .07 .07 0 co CD o c) w m z` co co ao ao ao ao co m I I I I 1 I I I I I 47 0 o r+ nl M d' 0 m 1- c0 O0 c0 00 co o co 01 0 0 o Q) (D o o O) o *ABAG receives a small percentage of Transportation Development Act funds from MTC for comprehensive planning support.

These capabilities are now primarily being focused on assisting local governments in coping with complex regional issues, as well as on providing MTC with in-depth analysis of relationships between transportation plans and projects and comprehensive planning issues at local, subregional and regional levels. Growth and Development Data and Analysis') - Maintaining the economic, demographic and land use data base for the region is a critical ABAG responsibility. The data base is the foundation for the development of models that assist MTC, local governments and the private sector in analyzing and determining the impacts of growth or change on the local economy; the fiscal viability of the governments affected by change; and the corresponding impacts on the physical infrastructure (e.g., transportation and wastewater treatment facilities) that supports economic development in the region. In Fiscal Year 1987-88, the Data and Analysis Group will undertake studies which analyze the implications of Projections 87 and look at the structure of the region's economy with a focus on some of the changing economic conditions that could threaten the region's health. In addition, staff will focus on producing a sales tax forecasting model to assist in projecting revenues to local governments. Plan and Project Review(') - Review of Federal grant applications continues under procedures for State and Areawide Clearinghouse Review established by the State to replace the A-95 system rescinded by Executive Order in 1981. The review staff also send staff- to-staff letters on draft environmental documents. These letters comment on the adequacy of information provided to local decision makers regarding regional concerns embodied in Regional Plan policies adopted by the General Assembly. The Clearinghouse staff heads an interagency review team(representatives from MTC,Caltrans,BAAQMD,BART,and BCDC)that meets twice a month to exchange information on proposed major developments and coordinate comments. In addition, specific assistance is provided to MTC in reviewing the Annual Element of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program for consistency with adopted regional policies for growth and development. Subregional Studies(') - Since 1983-84, ABAG has participated in several studies examining interrelationships among jobs, housing and transportation issues: MTC's SCR 74 Transit Study in the 101 Peninsula Corridor, I 680/1 580 Corridor Study in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties east of the hills and the 1 80 Corridor Study in Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano Counties; Marin County's 101 Corridor Study (San Francisco, Marin and Sonoma Counties); Santa Clara County's "Transportation 2000" Study; AC Transit's 2000 Transit Plan; Contra Costa County's San Ramon Branchline Study; and the Hayward Traffic Study. ABAG's participation involves provision of information from the Projections data base and the Local Policy Survey for use in transportation modeling and testing, and using projections and Census data to develop quantified information and reports about the impacts of proposed job growth on local housing and labor markets. 18 Recommendations for improving jobs/housing balance to relieve traffic congestion were completed and distributed in FY 1985-86. Participation will continue in FY 1987-88 in continuing and new studies. Housing (1) - Primary emphasis of ABAG's housing program is on providing input to joint ABAG/MTC corridor studies to develop integrated jobs/transportation/housing strategies for traffic mitigation. Airports(') - Staff support is provided to the ABAG/MTC' Regional Airport Planning Committee. Continuing activities include preparation of annual noise evaluations of commercial airports, review of proposed planning grants to Airport Land Use Commissions, and conduct of project reviews as required. Earthquake Safety(3) - Since 1976, ABAG has provided technical assistance to local governments in the use of earth sciences information and in developing seismic safety elements, as well as successfully advocating important legislation at federal and state levels. Earthquake hazard mapping capability and detailed information about earthquake hazards and cumulative damage potential has been developed in five projects funded by the U. S. Geological Survey. Products have been designed, not only for local governments but also for agencies that plan for and operate lifeline and infrastructure systems. The liability of local governments for earthquake losses has been examined and a related project for the private sector was completed in 1983-84. A National Science Foundation funded program to develop a building occupancy inventory began in FY 1984-85 and was completed in FY 1985-86. Two workshops on earthquake preparedness, one in relation to hazardous materials and the other to structural characteristics of buildings, were funded by the State's Bay Area Regional Earthquake Preparedness Program. Funding is being sought for additional programs. Environmental Management Air Quality(3) - Following adoption of the 1982 Bay Area Air Quality Management Plan, activities have focused on plan implementation and monitoring the region's progress toward attainment of federal air quality standards. All plan implementation activities, including those of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, MTC and other agencies are documented in an annual air quality report. The 1986 update to the Air Quality Plan is scheduled for completion by Summer 1987. Coordination with MTC and BAAQMD in the advisory review and conformity assessment program continues through the joint Plan and Project Review team. Water Quality(3) - Activities since 1978 have focused on amending and implementing the Regional Water Quality Management Plan adopted in that year as part of the Environmental Management Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area. Current programs, funded under -Sec. 2050) of the Clean Water Act, via the State Water Resource Control Board, include: reviewing problems of small scale generators of hazardous wastes (a regional plan was approved in FY 1985-86); and development of a small generators hazardous wastes collection system in Alameda County. Hazardous Materials(3) - Implementation of the Regional Hazardous Spills Response Plan, adopted in FY -1982-83, continues, with assistance to local governments: with training of response personnel; prevention. programs for transport accidents; prevention programs for 19 stationary source releases; preparing local plans for dealing with transportation-related and stationary source incidents; preparing risk assessments for transport of hazardous materials in and through a community; and public education. Waste Management(3) - Since the adoption of the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan in 1978, ABAG has conducted a number of studies and prepared reports on both hazardous and municipal solid waste management issues of concern to cities and counties. A grant in 1986, from the San Francisco Foundation, funded preparation of an audio visual presentation focusing on the need for subregional coordination to provide comprehensive waste management systems. Regionwide public and local government presentations will continue into FY 1987-88. State legislation enacted in 1986 will provide funds for preparing a regional hazardous waste management plan. The Solid Waste Coordinating Committee (solid waste program managers for the nine Bay Area Counties) will advise these efforts. Comments on revisions and amendments to county solid waste management plans, as required by State law, will continue. Energy(3) - In 1986-87, ABAG completed a project examining the environmental •and permitting issues important to local governments in reviewing proposed small energy- generating facilities: wind, biomass and waste-to-energy, solar, hydroelectric and cogeneration projects. Human Services Hypertension Control(3) - At the request of the State Department of Health Services, ABAG has set up a regional hypertension control program for six Bay Area counties: Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Contra Costa. Beginning in January 1985, the program has involved developing the policy committee structure for program guidance; the staffing structure for administrative, fiscal and personnel functions; an evaluation process that includes a data management system; and administering the program. Regional AIDS Education(2) - FY 1985-86 saw the initiation of the Regional AIDS Education program, with funding from counties and foundation grants. Funding is being sought for ABAG to serve as a vehicle for the exchange of information and expertise among the nine Bay Area counties and for developing educational materials for regionwide dissemination. TRAINING Training Institute(2) - Now in its fourth year, the ABAG Training Institute has developed and presented seminars, training courses and workshops on a broad range of topics of interest to ABAG members and Corporate Associates. Courses on such timely topics as ABAG's Housing, Water Quality, Hazardous Materials, Energy, Population Projections and Infrastructure Programs have been presented, as have a series of workshops on microcomputer applications. With the employment of a full time Training Institute Director in July 1986, the Training Institute has expanded its curriculum to four divisions: 1) On-site management training designed mostly for mid-level public managers; 2) microcomputer hands-on training courses; 3) ABAG planning workshops such as housing and water quality; and 4) special courses for members of ABAG's insurance liability programs. 20 During 1987 courses will also be offered for upgrading secretarial, clerical and administrative support skills. Registration fees and a portion of ABAG's insurance liability program revenues jointly cover the costs of the Training Institute. Hazardous Spills Training Centert3) - A series of courses on hazardous materials response for local emergency personnel, initially funded by a federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act grant and continued under contract with the State Department of Health Services, will be offering advanced level spill response training for local governments in FY 1987-88. HAZMACON(2) - ABAG's fourth annual Hazardous Materials Management Conference and Exposition held in Disneyland in April 1986, will return to the Bay Area, at Santa Clara's Convention Center in 1987; then back to Disneyland in April of 1988. This three-day, four-tiered event includes simultaneous technical workshops, exhibits, demonstrations and training sessions. HAZMACON brings together the most knowledgeable professionals in the Western United States and decision makers with authority and responsibility to specify and buy equipment and services. Benefitting from the program are 1) industry leaders from many disciplines who come to exchange information on all aspects of hazardous materials management in order to solve the industry's problems; and 2)government representatives as users of hazardous materials, generators of hazardous wastes, and providers of emergency services. LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES Data Center(2) In this continuing program, Data Center staff undertake small area studies under contract and provide Census and other data and analytic services on a cost reimbursement basis. Technical Assistance(') - Drawing on capabilities developed in ABAG's planning programs, technical assistance is made available to local and state governments and the private sector in accord with ABAG's policies on cost reimbursement. Services have included: data development and analysis; assistance in developing plans and plan elements; conducting special studies and demonstrations; applications of the Cost Revenue Impact System (CRIS) Model; and preparing reports. Financial Services(2) - In FY 1983-84, through its Joint Exercise of Powers authority, ABAG initiated a cooperative credit pooling program for member governments. The program enables a group of cities to finance new equipment and real estate purchases through tax- exempt Certificates of Participation. Through this program public agencies are able to avoid high interest rates of individually borrowed funds or paying large cash sums for needed new equipment. They also save by sharing, on a pro rata basis, costs associated with issuing the certificates, such as bond counseling and financial advice. A master leasing program was initiated in FY 1985-86. In addition to publicizing and expanding these services, ABAG is looking into other ways in which joint action will mean cost savings in meeting local needs. Insurance Pooling( ) - A self-funded health and life insurance benefits plan, operated through the ABAG Benefits Trust, was established in FY 1985-86. The plan offers additional choices in health, dental, vision and life insurance benefits to employees of member governments joining the Trust. In 1986 the ABAG Pooled Liability Assurance Network (PLAN) program was established. Additional-insurance pooling programs are being developed for consideration. 21 AGENCY MANAGEMENT Public Information/Regional Liaison(') - ABAG recognizes the need to involve elected officials, citizens, technicians, the private sector and special interest groups in the planning process and to inform these same groups of the services ABAG can provide. The Public Affairs staff conducts a coordinated communications program which includes: the production and distribution of a government directory, bibliographies, newsletters, rosters, informational brochures, fact sheets, and slide-tape presentations; liaison with the news and electronic media; keeping regional issues information files and mailing lists; organization of General Assemblies, public hearings, workshops, conferences, and meetings of the Executive Board and standing committees; member government liaison; educatibnal programs in cooperation with community organizations and other public agencies; and responses to requests for information from the general public, educational institutions, and other organizations and agencies. The staff is also responsible for the ABAG Associates program, advertising and recruiting new private sector members and giving staff support to the Corporate Advisory Council. I_ntergovernmental Coordination(') - Improved coordination with MTC, throughout the year as well as in preparation of the Overall Work Program (OWP) continues as a major focus. This close working relationship is essential to avoid duplication of effort in the use of transportation funds. It also helps ensure that ABAG's comprehensive planning program contributes substantially to making regional transportation planning more cost-effective, efficient and responsive to the needs of the region's commuters, industries and the transit dependent. Coordination with and among local governments and regional agencies, the private sector and special interest groups will continue, both directly and through support of ABAG's standing committees, joint policy committees, task forces and advisory committees. Legislation(') - ABAG's legislative program will continue emphasis on strengthening local government service delivery and financing capability; improving ABAG's financial status; and fostering more effective regional planning. ABAG will sponsor legislation to fund local programs to handle abandoned vehicles; revise the airport land use planning law; and fund environmental planning activities by the State's councils of governments. ABAG will also review and comment on other legislation affecting the Bay Area. Agency Management(') - To make most efficient use of reduced resources in meeting requirements of funding sources and augmenting ABAG's helpfulness to member governments, the monitoring and coordination of local services, special projects, interagency relations, regional planning, training, legislation and public affairs are centralized in the office of the Executive Director. In addition to basic functions of annual budget preparation and General Assembly, Executive Board, Finance & Personnel and Administrative Committee support, activities include management of the regional planning program.
