OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
OPPOSING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT AND SAMTRANS
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Rapid
Transit District (BART), has approved an agreement with Samtrans
which would provide San Mateo County with BART service; and
WHEREAS, the current policy for BART extensions outside
the BART District can occur only after a "satisfactory cost-
sharing arrangement" is reached and parallel construction occurs
within the District; and
WHEREAS, the BART Board should consider the substantial
investment made by their constituents in determining a "satisfac-
tory cost-sharing arrangement"; and
WHEREAS, BART's first priority should be to those people
of the 3 original BART Counties who have, for 25 years, been
paying tax money to build and maintain the BART System.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Dublin hereby wishes to express its opposition to the
agreement between BART and Samtrans and respectfully requests that
the Board of Directors rescind their action approving this
agreement.
