A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
**************************
APPROVING CONTRIBUTION TO THE 1-580/I-680 INTERCHANGE
WEST TO NORTH RAMP IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the voters of Alameda County approved a 1/2
cent sales tax increase to fund specific street and freeway
improvement projects; and
WHEREAS, the Alameda County Transportation Authority has
been given the responsibility of seeing that the funds raised from
the increased sales tax are spent according to the terms approved
by the voters; and
WHEREAS, one of the projects to be constructed with the
funds was improvement to the 1-580/I-680 interchange at a total
estimated cost of $54 million, of which $10 million or 18.5
percent is to come from local sources; and
WHEREAS, the first phase of the i-580/I-680 interchange
could be constructed at this time in order to provide earlier
usage of the west to north ramp from 1-580 to 1-680 at a
substantial savings over later costs; and
WHEREAS, the first phase of the 1-580/t-680 Interchange
has an estimated cost of $2,054 million of which $380,000 must be
paid from local funds; and
WHEREAS, when the voters approved Measure B, they
approved an allocation of monies to the cities and county for
local transportation purposes as well as allotment of monies to
specific projects and also approved a local share cost for certain
projects including the 1-580]I-680 Interchange; and
WHEREAS, it is generally not appropriate to take Measure
B funds from the cities or county to help pay for the local share
of Measure B specific projects since this is an additional
allocation of Measure B funds above that contemplated by the
voters; and
WHEREAS, by advancing money for this first phase of the
1-580/1-680 Interchange, appreciable savings can be made in
overall construction costs and earlier service achieved, thus
making it a special case; and
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin requests that the Alameda
County Transportation Authority reconsider the existing policy
which prohibits the use of federal and/or state funds to pay the
local costs of future Measure B projects; and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton
and Alameda County have agreed to share the local 18.5 percent or
approximately $380,000 cost of the first phase of the 1-580/1-680
improvement with Alameda County paying $45,000 and the three
cities dividing the remaining local cost equally; and
WHEREAS, this agreement to pay a portion of the first
phase of the 1-580/I-680 project does not imply agreement to pay
the same portion of the local share for subsequent phases of the
1-580/I-680 Interchange improvement or of other Measure B
projects; and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton, and
Alameda County, agree to participate, which could include
financial participation, in the same spirit of Valleywide
cooperation by assisting the City of Livermore in seeking funding
solutions to help finance the local share of the Route 84 Measure
B project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Dublin does hereby resolve to pay one-third of the
local share less the County of Alameda's contribution, of the
approximately $380,000 estimated cost of the project to the
Alameda County Transportation Authority as a portion of the local
cost of the west to north connection at the 1-580/1-680
Interchange .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is directed
to develop the necessary financial arrangements.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 9th day of May, 1988.
