Dear Friend:
This year ABAG celebrates its 25th anniversary! We can look at ABAG's
accomplishments with a great deal of pride. Revan Tranter highlights many
- of these achievements in the Executive Director's budget message. ABAG
started in 1961 as a forum to exchange ideas and develop cooperation in
solving common problems; it grew into a regional planning agency that
guided urban development and environmental protection; and, in recent
financially difficult times, ABAG became a source of technical assistance
and innovative financial services for local governments. To continue these
services and programs, the proposed budget for fiscal year 1986-87 includes
an overall dues increase of just under five percent.
If you have any questions or concerns about the budget, please feel free to
attend the Executive Board's review of the budget on February 20th, at 7:30
p.m. Also, you may forward your concerns to a member of the Executive
Board. After the Board considers the comments received, it will forward
its budget recommendations to the General Assembly for adoption in March.
Finally, you should have received the information about the March 27th
General Assembly. The afternoon meeting will give us an opportunity to
look at past accomplishments in light of future goals for the Bay Area.
This meeting will be followed by a gala dinner at the Hotel St. Francis in
San Francisco.
I hope you plan to join us at the meeting and the dinner celebration.
Best Wishes,
O
Supervisor Dianne McKenna

President McKenna and Members
of the Executive Board
Association of Bay Area Governments
Ladies and Gentlemen:
A twenty-fifth anniversary is traditionally an occasion to review the past,
and look to the future.
Today regional councils are old hat. Virtually no metropolitan area in the
nation functions without one. But in 1959-61 there were only a handful in
the country--none in California. The local elected officials and adminis-
trators who put ABAG together in that period were pioneers. They set up an
association, owned and operated by the Bay Area's local governments, which
has:
• Created the Regional Plan, 1970-1990, whose principles remain
valid today.
• Devised the award-winning Environmental Management Plan (covering
air and water quality, water supply and solid waste), and secured
legislation making that plan the only one in the country
protected against unilateral change by state agencies
• Conducted (with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission) major
land use and transportation corridor studies, to secure Federal
and State infrastructure funds and achieve related development
policies
s Produced regular, detailed population, employment and housing
projections for use by all jurisdictions and State and Federal
agencies, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in local staff
costs
• Established the first tests to secure unified basic skills among
Bay Area emergency medical technicians, and a microwave emergency
communications system for EMS programs
e Brought technical help to members, such as preparation and
revision of local general plan elements, and CRIS, the award-
winning Cost Revenue Impact System
Representing City and County Governments of the San Francisco Bay Area
Metro Center■ Eighth& Oak Striets■Oakland■ (415)464-7900
• Provided money-saving financial services, such as Credit Pooling
and Master Leasing, to obtain capital funds, and Health Insurance
Pooling through the ABAG Benefits Trust
• Established economical training programs to assist member
jurisdictions in an array of subjects from data management to
erosion control and response to hazardous materials emergencies
• Authorized a program to help fight the spread of AIDS in the Bay
Area.
This is a fine record, not least because much of it was accomplished
during a period of intense financial difficulty and a two-thirds cut in
staff.
To continue serving our members with a high degree of professional-
ism will not be easy. We must concentrate on direct, money-saving
services, which in turn pay for themselves.
But in addition, we need --as local governments working together--to create
a new Regional Plan for the years leading into the next century. Too many
piecemeal decisions are being made without realizing the cumulative
political , environmental and economic effects in a complex region of over
100 local governments. Our quality of life has started to slip, and no
amount of traffic tinkering or other band-aid solutions will keep the Bay
Area the kind of place we want it to be for our children and grandchildren.
Maintaining both a healthy economy and a liveable environment cannot be
accomplished without a significant improvement in the current level of
regional planning. To see how we might fund it, the General Assembly
appointed a blue-ribbon task force, which recommended a small addition to
the cost of personalized license plates in the Bay Area. Now that the
Executive Board has adopted this concept, we should pursue it
legislatively, and with determination.
I am recommending for the coming fiscal year an average four percent
increase in per capita dues. Allowing for population growth, this gives an
increase of just under five percent in local contributions. But because
local contributions cover less than a quarter of ABAG's costs, this adds
barely one percent to overall income. We can balance our budget only if we
succeed in expanding our revenue-producing services.
ABAG has already saved its members and their taxpayers millions of dollars.
As we start our second quarter-century, we must find the means to help them
save the Bay Area.
Respectfully submitted.._,

Summary of ABAG Services and Accomplishments
OUR MEMBERS GET HIGH-CALIBER SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
In 1985 they included:
•Expansion of financial services with a new Master Lease Financing program designed to complement
Credit Pooling. The new program allows local governments to finance items in the$50,000 to
$500,000 range for three to seven years with low interest rates and minimal paperwork. Credit
Pooling closed its 12th transaction in December with financing provided through the program now
capping$37 million.
•Helping member governments clamp the lid on health care benefits costs by launching a pooled health
benefits trust. Participants manage and control their own health benefits costs through the trust.
•Setting the groundwork for coordination of AIDS education.throughout the region. Executive Board
members asked for the program after recognizing the-huge costs in human suffering and -
health care needs presented by the disease.
•Hazardous materials spills response training and a huge West Coast hazardous materials management
technical conference and exhibit--both bringing state-of-the-art information and training to our
members.
•A series of public/private issues breakfasts throughout the region,bringing business and public
leaders face to face to discuss problems of mutual concern.
•Reinstituting the Solid Waste Management Coordination Committee to deal with the crucial solid waste
issues--ranging from rapidly filling disposal sites to a labyrinth of regulatory changes--that
face the cities and counties of the region.
•Numerous studies, analyses and publications providing information not available anywhere else on
demographics,economic competitiveness,earthquake liability, solid waste problems, energy and many
other topics.
•Our award-winning Cost/Revenue Impact computer modeling system,developed in cooperation with
Fairfield,to help local governments measure the costs and revenues associated with public
decisions.
•The ABAG Training Institute,that has provided workshops for hundreds of elected officials and staff
members on such topics as data base management,seismic safety and liability,erosion control,
development finance, and hazardous materials management.
WE ARE YOUR REGIONAL PLANNING AGENCY
•ABAG, which you own and operate,has been designated by the state as the regional planning agency
for the Bay Area.
•The state uses ABAG's projections of population,housing and employment in determining certain
project grants and allocations. We work carefully with our members to prepare these figures.
•By Federal statute and state designation,ABAG is the regional water quality planning agency and co-
lead agency for air quality planning in the Bay Area.
WE PROTECT LOCAL CONTROL
By banding together at the regional level,we have more clout in promoting support for local needs with
the state and federal governments and protecting ourselves against state and federal intervention in
strictly local issues.

REGIONAL PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Over the years ABAG has established a broad base of staff expertise in policy development
and implementation assistance in many program areas. These capabilities are now primarily
being focused on assisting local governments in coping with complex regional issues, as
well as on providing MTC with in-depth analysis of relationships between transportation
plans and projects and comprehensive planning issues at local, subregional and regional
levels.
Growth and Development
Data and Analysis ') - Maintaining the economic, demographic and land use data base for
the region is a critical ABAG responsibility. The data base is the foundation for the
development of models that assist MTC, local governments and the private sector in
analyzing and determining the impacts of growth or change on the local economy; the fiscal _
viability of the governments affected by change; and the corresponding impacts on the
physical infrastructure (e.g., transportation and wastewater treatment facilities) that
supports economic development in the region.
The current two-year cycle for updating demographic and economic projections will
culminate in June 1987 in the publication of Projections '87. This new edition of the
projections will be expanded to include detailed labor force and population projections by
age and sex for counties. The 1981-82 Local Policy Survey will be updated and the
microcomputer data base system refined.
Plan and Project Review(') - Review of Federal grant applications continues under
procedures for State and Areawide Clearinghouse Review established by the State to replace
the A-95 system rescinded by Executive Order in 1981. The review staff also send staff-
to-staff letters on draft environmental documents, commenting on the adequacy of
information provided to local decision makers regarding regional concerns embodied in
Regional Plan policies adopted by the General Assembly. The Clearinghouse staff heads an
interagency review team(representatives from MTC,Caltrans,BAAQMD,BART,and BCDC)that
meets twice a month to exchange information on proposed major developments and coordinate
comments. In addition, specific assistance is provided to MTC in reviewing the Annual
Element of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program for consistency with adopted
regional policies for growth and development.
Subregional Studies(') - Since 1983-84, ABAG has participated in several studies examining
interrelationships among jobs, housing and transportation issues: MTC's SCR 74 Transit
Study in the 101 Peninsula Corridor, I 680/I 580 Corridor Study in Contra Costa and
Alameda Counties east of the hills; Marin County's 101 Corridor Study (San Francisco,
Marin and Sonoma Counties); Santa Clara County's "Transportation 2000" Study; AC
Transit's 2000 Transit Plan; Contra Costa County's San Ramon Branchline Study; and the
Hayward Traffic Study.
ABAG's participation involves provision of information from the Projections data base and
the Local Policy Survey for use in transportation modeling and testing, and using
projections and Census data to develop quantified information about the impacts of
proposed job growth on local housing and labor markets.
18
Recommendations for improving jobs/housing balance to relieve traffic congestion were
completed and distributed in FY 1985-86. Participation will continue in FY 1986-87 in
continuing and new studies.
Housing (1) - Primary emphasis of ABAG's housing program is on providing input to joint
ABAG/MTC corridor studies to develop. integrated jobs/transportation/housing strategies
for traffic mitigation. In FY 1986-87 a new edition of the Development Fee Survey will be
produced as one product of the Local Policy Survey update.
Infrastructure Financing(') - ABAG has completed a report on available techniques for
financing Bay Area capital improvements and maintenance of existing public facilities, and
a number of working papers analyzing specific issues surrounding provision of
infrastructure and its relationship to growth in the region. This work will be
continued--to build regionwide support for making changes in local capital improvements
techniques, to assist local governments in implementing available techniques, and to
pursue more fundamental change in State financing laws to improve financing capabilities
of eities and counties. Bond pooling legislation developed by ABAG was enacted in FY
1985-86.
Airports(') - Staff support is provided to the ABAG/MTC Regional Airport Planning
Committee. In FY 1986-87, staff will continue preparation of annual noise evaluations of
commercial airports, review proposed planning grants to Airport Land Use Commissions, and
conduct project reviews as required.
Earthquake Safety(3) - Since 1976, ABAG has provided technical assistance to local
governments in the use of earth sciences information and in developing seismic safety
elements, as well as successfully advocating important legislation at federal and state
levels. Earthquake hazard mapping capability and detailed information about earthquake
hazards and cumulative damage potential has been developed in four projects funded by the
U. S. Geological Survey. Products have been designed not only for local governments, but
also for agencies that plan for and operate lifeline and infrastructure systems. The
liability of local governments for earthquake losses has been examined and a related
project for the private sector was completed in 1983-84. A National Science Foundation
funded program to develop a building occupancy inventory began in FY 1984-85 and was
completed in FY 1985-86. Two workshops on earthquake preparedness, one in relation to
hazardous materials and the other to structural characteristics of buildings, were .funded
by the State's Bay Area Regional Earthquake Preparedness Program. Funding is being sought
for additional programs.
Environmental Management
Air Quality(') - Following adoption of the 1982 Bay Area Quality Management Plan,
activities have focused on plan implementation and monitoring the region's progress toward
attainment of federal air quality standards. All plan implementation activities,
including those of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, MTC and other agencies,
are documented in an annual air quality report. The 1985 update of the Air Quality Plan
is scheduled for completion in FY 1985-86. Coordination with MTC and BAAQMD in the
advisory review and conformity assessment program continues through the joint Plan and
Project Review team.
Water Quality(3) - Activities since 1978 have focused on amending and implementing the
Regional Water Quality Management Plan adopted in that year as part of the Environmental
19
Management Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area. Recent, current and proposed programs,
funded under Sec. 2056) of the Clean Water Act, via the State Water Resource Control
Board, include: monitoring the performance of the Coyote Hills Demonstration Marsh
(designed by ABAG and constructed by the East Bay Regional Park District in the City of
Fremont) in capturing urban runoff pollutants; further exploring toxic hydrocarbon
discharges present in urban runoff; reviewing problems of small scale generators of
hazardous wastes (a regional plan was approved in FY 1985-86); development of a small
generators hazardous wastes collection system in Alameda County; and several studies for
EPA's Integrated Environmental Management Program in Silicon Valley.
Hazardous Materials(3) - Implementation of the Regional Hazardous Spills Response Plan,
adopted in FY 1982-83, continues, with assistance to local governments: with training of
response personnel; prevention programs for transport accidents; prevention programs for
stationary source releases; preparing local plans for dealing with transportation-related
and stationary source incidents; preparing risk assessments for transport of hazardous
materials in and through a community; and public education.
Waste Managemen 2) - Since the adoption of the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan in
1978, ABAG has conducted a number of studies and prepared reports on both hazardous and
municipal solid waste management issues of concern to cities and counties. With advice
from the Hazardous Waste Advisory Council and from the reactivated Solid Waste
Coordinating Committee (composed of solid waste program managers for the nine Bay Area
Counties) efforts will continue to identify critical problems where a regional approach is
essential. Private operations and foundations are being approached for funding public
education and coordination activities. Staff also review and prepare comments on
revisions and amendments to county solid waste management plans, as required by State law.
Human Services
Hypertension Control(3) - At the request of the State Department of Health Services, ABAG
has set up a regional hypertension control program for six Bay Area counties: Marin, San
Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Contra Costa. Beginning in January 1985,
the program has involved developing the policy committee structure for program.guidance;
the staffing structure for administrative, fiscal and personnel functions; an evaluation
process that includes a data management system; and administering the program.
Regional AIDS Education(2) - FY 1985-86 saw the initiation of the Regional AIDS Education
program, with funding from counties and foundation grants. ABAG provides the vehicle for
the exchange of information and expertise among the nine Bay Area counties and for
developing educational materials for regionwide dissemination.
TRAINING
Training Institute(2) - In the three years since its establishment, ABAG's Regional
Training Institute has presented training courses and workshops on a broad range of timely
topics. Courses have drawn on outside experts and staff expertise developed in Housing,
20
Water Quality, Hazardous Materials, Energy and Infrastructure Financing Programs. A
continuing series of courses in computer applications for local financial, operating and
planning programs has been offered as well. The curriculum is being expanded to include
courses in solid and hazardous waste management issues, earthquake prevention and
response, media relations and new approaches in public agency management. Registration
fees cover the costs of the Institute.
Hazardous Spills Training Center(3) - A series of courses on hazardous materials response
for local emergency personnel, initially funded by a federal Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act grant and continued under contract with the State Department of Health
Services, will be offering advanced level spill response training for local governments in
FY 1986-97.
HAZMACON(2)- ABAG's third annual Hazardous Materials Management Conference and Exposi-
will be held in Disneyland in April 1986 and will return to the Bay Area, at the City of
Santa Clara's Convention Center in 1987. This three-day, four-tiered event includes
simultaneous technical workshops,exhibits,demonstrations and training sessions. HAZMACON
brings together the most knowledgeable professionals in the Western United States and
decision makers with authority and responsibility to specify and buy equipment and services.
Benefitting from the program are industry leaders from many disciplines who come to exchange
information on all aspects of hazardous materials management in order to solve the
industry's problems, and government representatives as users of hazardous materials,
generators of hazardous wastes, and providers of emergency services.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES
Data Center(2) - In this continuing program, Data Center staff undertake small area
studies under contract and provide Census and other data and analytic services on a cost
reimbursement basis.
Technical Assistance(2) - Drawing on capabilities developed in ABAG's planning programs,
technical assistance is made available to local and state governments and the private
sector in accord with ABAG's policies on cost reimbursement. Services have included:
provision of Census and other data, and analysis of these data; assistance in developing
plans and plan elements; conducting special studies and demonstrations; applications of
the Cost Revenue Impact System (CRIS)Model; and preparing reports.
Financial Services(2) - In FY 1983-84, through its Joint Exercise of Powers authority,
ABAG initiated a cooperative credit pooling program for member governments. The program
enables a group of cities, counties or special districts to finance new equipment and real
estate purchases through tax-exempt Certificates of Participation. Through this program
public agencies are able to avoid high interest rates of individually borrowed funds or
paying large cash sums for needed new equipment. They also save by sharing, on a pro rata
basis, costs associated with issuing the certificates, such as legal counseling and
financial advice. A master leasing program was initiated in FY 1985-86.
In addition to publicizing and expanding these services, ABAG is looking into other ways
in which joint action will mean cost savings in meeting local needs.
Insurance Pooling(2) - A self-funded health and life insurance benefits plan, operated
through the ABAG Benefits Trust, was established in FY 1985-86. The plan offers
21
additional choices in health, dental, vision and life insurance benefits to employees of
member governments joining the Trust. Additional insurance pooling programs are being
developed for consideration.
AGENCY MANAGEMENT
Public Information/Regional Liaison(') - ABAG recognizes the need to involve elected
officials, citizens, technicians, the private sector and special interest groups in the
planning process and to inform them of the services ABAG can provide. The
Public Affairs staff conducts a coordinated communications program which includes: the
production of a government directory, bibliographies, newsletters, rosters, informational
brochures, fact sheets, and slide-tape presentations; liaison with the news and electronic
media; keeping regional issues information files and mailing lists; organization of
General Assemblies, public hearings, workshops, conferences, and meetings of the Executive
Board and standing committees; member government liaison; educational programs in
cooperation with community organizations and--other public agencies; and responses to - -
requests for information from the general public, educational institutions, and other
organizations and agencies. The staff is also responsible for the ABAG Associates
program, recruiting new private sector members and giving staff support to the Corporate
Advisory Council.
Intergovernmental Coordination(l) - Improved coordination with MTC, throughout the year as
well as in preparation of the Overall Work Program (OWP), continues as a major focus. This
close working relationship is essential to avoid duplication of effort in the use of
transportation funds. It also helps make sure that ABAG's comprehensive planning program
contributes substantially to making regional transportation planning more cost-effective,
efficient and responsive to the needs of the region's commuters, industries and the
transit-dependent. Coordination with and among local governments and regional agencies,
the private sector and special interest groups will continue, both directly and through
support of ABAG's standing committees, joint policy committees, task forces and advisory
committees.
Legislation(') - ABAG's legislative program will continue its emphasis on strengthening
local government service delivery and financing capability; improving ABAG's financial
status; and fostering more effective regional planning.
Agency Mana emen To make most efficient use of reduced resources in meeting
requirements of funding sources and augmenting ABAG's helpfulness to member governments,
the monitoring and coordination of local services, special projects, interagency
relations, regional planning, legislation and public affairs are centralized in the office
of the Executive Director. In addition to basic functions of annual budget preparation
and General Assembly, Executive Board, Finance & Personnel and Administrative Committee
support, activities include management of the regional planning program.
