CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 9, 1984
SUBJECT San Ramon Road/Alcosta Boulevard Traffic Signal
EXHIBITS ATTACHED Letter from Richard Ambrose dated April 12 , 1984
RECOMMENDATION yr irect Council Sub-Committee to arrange meeting with
e presentatives from San Ramon City Council to
negotiate the cost-sharing arrangement for the traffic
signal .
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated total project cost - $130 , 000
Annual signal maintenance and operation costs
approximately $5 ,600 per year
DESCJ2IPTION At its meeting of April 9 , 1984 , the Dublin City
Council directed Staff to notify the City of San Ramon of its position with
respect to the cost sharing arrangement for the construction of the proposed
traffic signal at the intersection of San Ramon Road and Alcosta Boulevard.
The cost sharing arrangement proposed by the Dublin City Council was as
follows :
1 . In that the intersection of San Ramon Road and Alcosta Boulevard is
within the City limits of San Ramon, the City Council had indicated its
desire to only pay for 250 of the construction and 250 of the
maintenance costs for the San Ramon Road/Alcosta Boulevard traffic
signal .
2 . The Dublin City Council did indicate that it would be willing to
initially pay 50% of the construction costs, 25% of which would be
reimbursed by the City of San Ramon to the City of Dublin at such time
that the property on the northwest corner of the intersection
developed .
On April 12 , 1984 , Staff drafted a letter to the City of San Ramon
explaining the City of Dublin ' s position. On Wednesday, June 27 , 1984 , the
City Manager of the City of San Ramon telephoned and explained the recent
action by the San Ramon City Council with respect to the cost sharing
arrangement for the San Ramon Road/Alcosta Boulevard traffic signal. The
City of San Ramon had conducted a traffic study which found that 52% of the
cars entering the intersection did so traveling south on San Ramon Road. As
a result of this traffic study' s findings, the San Ramon City Council has
requested that the City of Dublin reconsider its earlier position and agree
to pay for 50% of the construction cost of the traffic signal . The City of
San Ramon has indicated that a 75% San Ramon/25% Dublin split for the
maintenance and operation of the traffic signal would be acceptable .
Since it is apparent that no basic agreement exists between the two cities
with respect to -the cost sharing for this signal, it is Staff ' s
recommendation that the City Council reactivate the sub-committee which it
had earlier formed to work with the City of San Ramon, and direct that sub-
committee to arrange a meeting to negotiate the cost 'sharing arrangement
with representatives from the San Ramon City Council .
