DESCRIPTION: In 1986, voters in Alameda County approved Measure B, which imposed a 1/2 cent increase in sales tax to fund specific transportation projects. Because there were more demands on the funds than had been projected to be collected, some projects were required to raise local matching funds. The 1-580/I-680 Direct Connector was one such project. The lo-al matching share for this project was set at $10 million. Work done by EART in widening structu.~ :.--: for the BART extension has been given a $4.4 million credit for local match Five local cities and twc. counties have now agreed to contribute funds to complete the remainder of $10 million match. Dublin will benefit from the new improvement in that the project will construct downtown freeway access to 1-680, as well as relieve congestion on the 1-580/I-680 interchange, over which existing and future Dublin residents will pass. COPIES TO: g:agenmisc\loclmtch ITEM NO. Dublin's share of the local match ($2,043,560) will be derived from the following sources: 1) 2) Credit for the value of one property already acquired by the City; Credit for the City agreeing to make future street improvements, if necessary, at Dublin Blvd. and Amador Plaza Road; 3) BART mitigation monies; and 4) Traffic Impact Fees. Construction of the I-580/I-680 Direct Connector project is proposed to begin late this calendar year. Right-of-way negotiations are presently underway. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution to enter into the Local Match Agreement.
