Valley Transportation Plan; and 5) serve as a forum for resolution of
transportation related disputes between member agencies.
The Agreement proposes that member agencies include the County of Alameda,
the County of Contra Costa, Town of Danville, and the Cities of Dublin,
Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon.
The Agreement also clearly indicates that the parties to the Agreement do
not intend to create an agency or entity separate from the member agencies.
The Agreement requires a unanimous vote of all member agencies for the
adoption of the annual work program and budget. Subsequent to the approval
of the work program and the budget, the unanimous vote of all delegates to
the Transportation Council is required to select and retain the consultant
to prepare the Transportation Plan.
Staff and the 'City Attorney have reviewed the Agreement and would recommend
that the Agreement forwarded by Chairman Bennett be modified as follows:
Paragraph 9 - Accounting Services "The Finance Director of the if
be changed to "the Finance Director of one of the Cities".
Paragraph 11b(IV) "For Personnel Matters" be deleted.
Since the Agreement does not establish an agency, the Council will not need
to consider personnel issues because there is not authority to hire
employees.
With those modifications, it is Staffs recommendation that the City
Council adopt the attached resolution approving the Joint Powers Agreement
for the purpose of preparing a Tri Valley Transportation Plan.
Staff has included attachments which outline previous City council actions
on the Tri Valley Transportation Council.

Dear Mayor Snyder:
At its meeting of November 28, 1990, the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC)
endorsed the formation of a Joint Powers Agency for the purpose of developing a
Transportation Plan for the Tri-Valley Subregion. The JPA represents a milestone in
transportation planning for the Tri-Valley. The five cities and two counties which are
members of the TVTC have declared their common commitment to a program of
cooperative planning for the future transportation needs of the region in a comprehensive
program which crosses city and county boundaries.
The attached Joint Powers Agreement outlines the authorities and responsibilities of Tri-
Valley Transportation Council, and was developed with the cooperation of all the member
jurisdictions of the TVTC. We would ask that you schedule discussion and adoption of the
Joint Powers Agreement on your City Council agenda as soon as possible. If you need
additional information, or if we may answer any questions regarding the JPA, please contact
Wayne Bennett, Chair Tri-Valley Transportation Council or John Dillon, Transportation
Services Manager for the City of San Ramon at 275-2228. If you would desire, Mr. Bennett
or other TVTC members would be available to attend your council meeting when this item
is discussed.
Sincerely,
n-�-
Wayne Bennett

Cm. Snyder questioned if we use the money available in the next 5 years
identified in the Capital Improvement Program, what this would mean to
the life of the pool .
Ms . Lowart advised that we would need to determine which items would be
the most cost effective to do and give these the highest priority. The
deck has been a liability and the other big item is the relining. All of
the repercussions mean increased costs in one area or another.
Mayor Moffatt asked if Staff felt the solar units work. Ms. Lowart
stated yes, but they take a lot of electricity to run.
Cm. Jeffery asked if the pool was a part of the Task Force Report. Ms .
Lowart advised that it was not.
Cm. Snyder questioned what a Chlorine Factory was .
Cm. Jeffery advised that they work quite nicely by allowing the water to
flow through a cylinder to pick up chlorine on a gradual basis .
Cogeneration was discussed, and Ms . Lowart stated she did not feel it
would be warranted with our limited amount of use.
On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous
vote, the Council authorized Staff to continue with preparation of the
final scope of work and cost estimates .

TRI-VALLEY TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROGRAM - MEMORANDUM OF 'UNDERSTANDING
Planning Director Tong advised that the Tri-Valley Transportation Council
has requested that each jurisdiction adopt a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) . The purpose of the MOU is to cooperatively address transportation
planning issues . In order to implement the MOU, the Tri-Valley Transpor-
tation Council will formulate rules and procedures and develop a proposed
budget and administrative support to accomplish the goals of the MOU.
Mr. Tong advised that Cm. Vonheeder is the Council representative on this
committee.
Cm. Vonheeder indicated that this has been discussed for a long time.
The intention is for this group to be an advisory body.
Cm. Jeffery questioned their budget.
As an example, Cm. Vonheeder explained that if the group were to
commission TJKM to develop a transportation plan, they would use each
city' s set of criteria. It would be all 7 entities contracting and at
some future point, there would be discussion on sharing the costs . She
wasn' t sure what type of a formula' would be established, whether it would
be based on population or other criteria.
CM-8-98
Regular Meeting February 27, 1989
Cm. Jeffery questioned the possibility of putting in some sort of a
sunset clause, perhaps a 2 or 4 year period.
Cm. Vonheeder felt this was a reasonable request, but was not something
they had discussed.
Cm. Jeffery expressed concern with #5 that states that the Tri-Valley
Transportation Council will serve as a forum for resolving transportation
related disputes between member jurisdictions . She thought the word
"will" should be changed to "may" . Cm. Jeffery asked about the
possibility of giving each city the opportunity to use this as a forum
only if they want to.
Cm. Vonheeder advised that they have no authority to do anything other
than serve as a forum.
Cm. Vonheeder stated she could take the MOU back with changes . It only
says we will try to agree.
Cm. Snyder stated he wasn' t too concerned with the forum situation as he
felt it is an opportunity for people to speak.
City Attorney Nave advised that he had no legal problems with the
document, i .e . , there is really no teeth to it.
Cm. Hegarty stated that it has no authority and can' t really do anything.
All it can do is recommend to the 5 cities .
Cm. Vonheeder stated she sees it as an opportunity for 5 cities and 2
counties to get together to discuss something where everyone has an
opportunity to speak at the same level.
On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous
vote, the Council authorized Dublin' s participation on the Tri-Valley
Transportation Council.

DUBLIN SCHOOL FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS
Recreation Director Lowart advised that after receiving the final report
from the Dublin Schools Facilities Task Force on May 9, 1988, the Council
authorized Staff to seek the services of a professional landscape
architect to prepare cost estimates . for the improvements identified in
the report.
On February 14, 1989 , the Park & Recreation Commission reviewed the Task
Force Report, as well as the Consultant' s Report. The purpose of their
review was to develop priorities for the projects identified by the Task
Force utilizing the cost estimates prepared by the Consultant. The
priorities identified by the Commission were spelled out in the Staff
Report and totalled $3, 028, 530 . The Commission identified Dublin High
School projects as high priorities since- there is greater potential for

meeting has been changed to Thursday, July 13th.
Cm. Jeffery felt that 3 days notice for cancellation of a meeting is not
a sufficient amount of time. It should be extended to a week.
Also, Cm. Jeffery wanted to make sure that the section related to special
meetings would comply with the Brown Act, and also that enough notice is
given.
Ms . Jeffery felt that even though these are just working rules, she would
like to see some kind of a comment that in matters of expenditures and
policy, decisions of this body are advisory only.
Cm. Vonheeder stated she had a problem with the voting member having to
be an elected person or their designated alternate. It states further
that the appointee must remain elected in order to serve.
City Manager Ambrose stated this could be reworded to make it clearer
that the appointing person must be an elected official and the official
who appointed the alternate must stay in office.
Cm: Vonheeder stated that these changes would necessitate the bylaws
being sent back to each jurisdiction.
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote
(Cm. Snyder absent) , the Council directed Staff to forward their comments
related to the drafted Rules of Procedure .
