Transportation Council (TVTC) Initial Report titled "A Perspective on
Tri-Valley Transportation" (see Attachment 2 ) . At that time, Staff
indicated that the TVTC had met on Thursday, February 8,. 1990, and
requested each member jurisdiction to consider a draft resolution

the report together with the draft resolution.
Staff has prepared the following draft comments for City Council
review and consideration:

sentence should refer to "East Dublin/Pleasanton" station rather
than East Dublin/Hacienda.

Estimates County/City GP's should read: "56 ,500 to 85, 500 (build-
out) " and comments should read: "local build-out range
incorporating current concepts in East and West Dublin GP
amendment studies . "

Page 17, under 3 . Areas with Major Development Potential, third
paragraph, fifth bullet should read: "access to I-580 from new
development in the Dougherty and Tassajara Valleys will put
strains on north/south arterials through Dublin. " This comment
paraphrases the second bullet in the context of Dublin rather
than San Ramon and Danville.
The draft resolution references the adopted Memorandum of
Understanding (see Attachment 3) and the initial report.
The draft resolution would do two things :
1 . It would adopt the TVTC 1990 Work Program as attached to the
draft resolution.
2 . It would request/direct the Technical Advisory Committee to
prepare a detailed report outlining ways to achieve the Work Program
for future action by the TVTC.
The draft resolution does not provide any funding to accomplish
the Work Program. Specific requests for funding would need City
Council approval .
The Work Program attached to the draft resolution includes the
following items :
Under Priority #2 Planning for the long term
"Providing Council with recommendations , including, those
associated with funding and implementation, on how current plans
and policies might be changed to address longer-range needs . "
[PLNG-08 :CC-TVTC]
-2-
- Under Priority #3 New approaches to planning:
"review and modification, as appropriate, of development and
transportation policies in potential rail corridors, to ensure
the highest degree of complementation. "
The items referenced above may raise several potential policy
questions :
1 . Would the work program authorize the TVTC to take actions to
change or modify local plans and policies?
2 . Would such actions be consistent with the scope of the Memorandum
of Understanding?
The City Council may want to adopt a slightly amended work
program to be more consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding.
Using language similar to that used in the Memorandum of
Understanding, the amendments could be as follows :
"providing Council with suggestions, including, those associated
with funding and implementation, on how current plans and
policies might better address longer-range needs . "
"review and suggestions regarding development and transportation
policies in potential rail corridors, to ensure the highest
degree of complementation. "
On Friday, February 16 , 1990, the Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) met and discussed the need to concentrate on concensus building
and near term action as indicated as Priority #1 in the 1990 Work
Program. The TAC is preparing a rough draft Request for Proposal
(RFP) to address only the Priority #1 items as the first phase of the
Work Program. The RFP will be reviewed by the TVTC, then presented to
the City Council for approval .
Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to send
comments to the TVTC and consider approving the draft resolution with
amendments .
