Item 8.1 Congestion Mgmt Program
CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 8, 1991 SUBJECT: Alameda County Congestion Management Program (Prepared by: Richard C. Ambrose, City Manager) EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1 . Letter from Alameda County Manager, Transportation Planning dated March 8, 1991 2. Draft Joint Powers Agreement 3 . Draft Resolution 4. Letter from Mayor Elihu M. Harris of Oakland to Mayor Bill Ball of Fremont dated March 26, 1991 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution approving Joint Powers Agreement and authorize Mayor to execute said agreement. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City of Dublin's estimated revenue from Proposition 111 for Fiscal Year 1991-92 is $115, 000. In accordance with the agreement, Dublin would be responsible for approximately 1 .29% of the costs of administering the Congestion Management Agency. DESCRIPTION: In June 1990, the voters of Alameda County approved an $18.5 billion Transportation Financing Package (Propositions 111 and 108) . In addition to providing Transportation Funding for major regional improvements throughout the County, Proposition 111 provides funding to cities for local street and roadway projects. Proposition 111 also requires each urban county to prepare, update, and administer a Congestion Management Program. This program must be annually updated and must include every City and the County. The Congestion Management Program is to include the following elements: 1 . Roadway level of service standards 2. Transit service standards 3. A trip reduction and travel demand element including improvements in the balance between jobs and housing 4. A program to analyze the transportation impacts of local land use decisions 5. A 7 Year Capital Improvement Program to maintain or improve the level of service. Major highway and rail projects must also be included in the Congestion Management Program if they are to be eligible for State funding. Once the standards identified above have been established, a City and County must conform to the standards in the Congestion Management Program or the new gas tax revenues from Proposition 111 may be withheld by the State Controller. Proposition 111 also provides that the development and implementation of the Congestion Management Program is to be handled by an agency designated by the Board of Supervisors and a majority of the Cities representing a majority of the population in the County. The County Public Works Staff in conjunction with the Alameda County City Managers Association, the Alameda County Mayors Conference, and the Transportation Plan Commission have worked on developing a proposed structure for the agency for consideration by the County Board of Supervisors and the City Councils throughout Alameda ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM N0. J,� boa. o County. The proposed structure for the agency as recommended by these groups is a Joint Powers Agency as embodied in the attached Joint Powers Agreement. The Joint Powers Agreement provides that the Congestion Management Agency will be governed by a Board composed of the following: 1 . one vote for each Alameda County City for every 100,000 population or fraction thereof; 2. two voting representatives from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors; 3. one voting representative of each of the transit operators including Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority, BART, AC Transit, and Union City Transit; 4. one non-voting representative each of the California Department of Transportation (District IV) , the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and Bay Area Air Quality Management District. This voting structure is similar to the existing voting structure for the Transportation Plan Commission. The Joint Powers Agreement requires that local agency and transit operator members shall be elected officials and upon execution of the Agreement the governing body of each agency having representation on this Congestion Management Agency Board shall appoint one of its members to serve as a member of the Board and another of its members to serve as an alternate member of the Board in the absence of the regular member. To date the Board of Supervisors of Alameda County, and the Cities of Emeryville and Piedmont have approved the Joint Powers Agreement. Attached to the agenda statement is a letter from the Mayor of Oakland to the Mayor of Fremont indicating that the City of Oakland is not in favor of the proposed voting structure in the Joint Powers Agreement. The Mayor of Oakland has indicated that Oakland would prefer to have votes based on increments of 10, 000 as opposed to 100, 000 . This letter was sent only to those Cities that would obtain a larger percentage of the total vote under the Mayor of Oakland's proposal. It is interesting to note that with Oakland's proposal, it would take only a few large Cities to control the entire Congestion Management Agency. This could result in these agencies having a great deal of influence over local land use decisions in the Tri- Valley area. Needless to say, it is Staff's opinion that this proposal by Oakland is not in the best interest of the City of Dublin. The Congestion Management Agency would have the following functions and responsibilities. 1 . Prepare, adopt, revise, amend, administer, and implement the Congestion and Management Program for Alameda County. 2. Develop, adopt, and update the Alameda Countywide Transportation Plan. 3. Coordinate transportation planning and programming within Alameda County and with contiguous Counties. 4. Coordinate the Countywide input to (a) the California Clean Air Act and Transportation Control Measures of MTC and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District; (b) the California Transportation Commission and CALTRANS for the flexible congestion relief rail bond and traffic system management funding programs; (c) MTC guidelines for County Transportation Plans pursuant to Government Code Section 66531 ; (d) MTC's Regional Transportation Plan; (e) MTC's Regional Transportation Improvement Program and the CTC's State Transportation Improvement Program. 5. Prepare, adopt, update, and administer the combined road program or a successor Federal Funding Program. 6. Other functions and responsibilities as may be added by amendments to this agreement pursuant to Section 21 of the agreement. 7. Other functions and responsibilities that are consistent with the purposes, objectives, functions, and responsibilities described in the agreement and are imposed by State or Federal Law. 8. Levy and collect fees including administrative and operating costs as provided by this agreement or by law against all entities which the Law applies both signatory and non-signatory to this agreement. 9. Seek State and Federal funding to defray the costs for preparing, adopting, and implementing the Congestion Management Plan and other duties described in the agreement. To assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its responsibilities, the agreement also provides for a Technical Advisory Committee which would consist of one Staff representative from each City and County, transit operators, and regional agencies. Due to the significant potential land' use implications this program might have, representatives from the City of Dublin Planning and Public Works Department will be attending these meetings. The agreement also provides that the Congestion Management Agency may appoint and retain staff to assist it in its responsibilities. The Congestion Management Agency could hire its own permanent staff, contract with the County of Alameda Public Works Department, contract with the Alameda County Transportation Authority or any local agency. The Joint Powers Agreement also provides for an appeal process in which a local agency may appeal the actions of the Congestion Management Agency by appealing directly to the local agencies representing the majority of the population of the County.

Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94568 RE: Congestion Management Program Dear M:�. rose: At its February 13, 1991 meeting, the Mayors ' Conference recommended that the Transportation Plan Commission be designated the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for Alameda County. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider this recommendation at its March 19 , 1991 meeting. By statute, the Congestion Management Agency is to be designated by "resolutions adopted by the county board of supervisors and the city councils of a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population in the incorporated area of the county" . The first Congestion Management Program must be submitted to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission by the end of June 1991 . It is therefore important that you schedule this matter for your council as soon as possible. Two actions are necessary: 1 ) adoption of a resolution designating the Congestion Management Agency and 2) approval of the Joint Powers Agreement. For your use, I have enclosed a copy of our staff analysis, the proposed Board of Supervisors resolution designating the Congestion Management Agency, and the enabling Joint Powers Agreement. The Joint Powers Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Counsel . Please forward a fully executed copy of the Joint Powers Agreement to my office, so that we may keep complete files for the new agency. I am available to assist if desired. If you have any questions about this matter, please call me at 785-2710 . Very truly yours , �L4W Dennis R.

The attached resolution and Joint Powers Agreement. will affirm this rec—am-pandation. .L DisL--,-sion: In June 1990 the voters appraved. an $18.5 billion transportation financing prog-r-- lons 111 and 108) . This transportation funding package .--m (Prcpositi includes the re=irement that every urban county prepare, implanmt and 2) . The annually update umlat is called a Ccnge-stion Y,--naga-a--qt Program Honorable Ford M�icers -2- February 28, 1991 C:iT must include every city and the County. Zhese congestion managaTent p_ crams are to include: • roadway level of service standards; • transit service standards; • a trip reduction and travel demand element, including improvenents in the balance between jobs and housing; • a program to analyze the transportation impacts of local land use decisions; and • a 7-year capital improvement program to maintain or improve level of service. In order for highway and rail projects to be eligible for state funding, they must be included in the CMP. The CMP is therefore critical to Alameda County's ability to secure state and federal funding for highway projects such as the Measure B project on the Nimitz Free<Nay. Furthermore, if a city or the county is found not to conform with the CMP, its new gas tax revenues f_= Proposition ill .will be withheld by the State' Controller. The development and implementation of the CMP is to be acccanplished by an agency designated by the Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population. The Public works Agency staff have worked with the City Managers ' Association, the Mayors' Conference and the Transportation Plan Ccmnission to prepare a proposal for consideration. At its February 13, 1991 meeting, the Mayors' Conference rc—ffirmgd a previous rec-cmTendation to designate the e.-cisting Alameda County Transportation Plan Commission. The attached resolution and Joint Powers Agreement provide for the following minor changes to the existing commission: • provide that the Metropolitan Transportation commission and Caltrans representatives are ex-offico ors; • add the Bay Ares Air Quality i ty ManageTr---nt District as an ex officio menber; and • add Union City Transit as a menber. The newly constituted agency would assume the duties of preparing the Alameda Countywide Transportation Plan and of developing and i*nple tenting the Congestion M_anage:nent Program (C►,T) for Alameda County. The existing Alameda County Transportation Advisory Committee (ACTAC) will provide technical advice to the agency. The agency would be authorized through a joint pcoiers agr----rnt (JPA) among the cities, county and transit operators. It is anticipated that the new agency will receive staffing via a contract with the Alameda County Public Works Agency. Fonorable Board Y-- bens -3- February 28, 1991 Financial: The legislation which placed Propositions 111 and 108 on the ballot indicates that cities and counties are to use a portion of the new gas tax revenues subverted to local gove-rnment ($3 billion statewide over 10 Years) to fund the congestion managere*it age_*icy. The new agency is to develop an annual budget by April 1 of each year together with a schedule of fees to support its operation. The proposed JPA calls for these fees to be based on each jurisdictions' proportionate share of new gas tax subventions pursuant to Proposition 111. This formula will result in the county being assessed for approximately 43% of the agency costs. This approach is acceptable as long as the Public Works Agency staffs the C_MA and is in a position to control costs. New gas tax revenues in the County's road fund old cover the County's share of these fees. Supplemental funding may beccare available through new legislation. Public Works Agency staff will continue to vigorously explore these possibilities. Yours truly, y j• , Donald J.

C!1Y OF NE}vARK AX#: 745.9972 post•H"Crantl fax transmittal m4rno 7571 Dear Mayor Ball: i hope you will join me in supporting proportional. voting rights for cities on Alameda County's Congestion Management Plan Agency (CUP) Board. Unfortunately, the current proposal which,we have been asked to approve does not provide such rights. Instead, it dllocates one vote per city for each 100,000 population or fraction thereof. Under this formula, the county's two smallest cities with a combined population of under 17,000 would have the same number of votes (two votes) as cities with populations totalling up to 200,000. I believe a more equitable formula is to provide one vote for each 10,000 population or fraction thereof. The attached table, Option A (far right column) shows the percent by which your city's relative share of the CMP Agency's votes would increase under the "one vote per 10,000 population" alternative. As you know, the new gas tax law gave the Congestion Management Agencies the right to exercise broad powers by selecting the county's future transportation projects and deterrrrining funding priorities for those projects. As a result of its transportation decisions, CMP Agency will also influence future local land use decisions. This agency will also set policy determining whether your city will (or ,,,V not) receive its new gas tax allocation. This will involve making decisions regarding hundreds of millions of transportation funding . dollars annually. 'Therefore, due to the importance of the decisions to each city, I believe it imperative that cities be represented in direct proportion to their populations. It would- be undemocratic to let issues of this magnitude be decided otherwise. In a related issue, several local elected officials have indicated that they believe only agencies which will receive new gas tax funds through the Congestion Management Agency are at any funding risk and therefore those encieset have one vote e ch)g They believe current voting formula calls for the g that.city and county elected off=icials will responsibly represent their constituents on transit issues and that the transit agencies should have the same non-voting status as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Caltrans and the Air Quality Management APR-01-1991 17:07 FROM `r OF NEWARK TO F.GIB March 26, 1991 Mayor Bill Ball - 2 - District. I would support this position. I have attached a second chart,(option B).showing the voting breakdown if the transit agencies are.non voting. ro for ro rtional voting rights, please If you have any questions about-Oakland's proposal P po lo re ect the proposal . don't hesitate to call.me. �u the meantime, I urge you, and your city, j P p recently.transmitted to you by the county and to support CMP voting rights based on one vote per 10,000 population.I understand this issue may come before the Transportation Plan Commission on Thursday,April 28th,therefore I would appreciate you discussing this matter with your city's voting members before that time if possible. Please let me know your position on this matter. I would like to.work with you to establish a reasonable CMP voting rights proposal. Sin re y BLWu M. HARRIS.J.
