This status report provides information regarding a proposed light rail alignment and other recent issues and requests that the City Council provide direction as to Dublin's position on these issues. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1) Take the position that the TVTC is not a Joint Powers Authority, but is an amalgamation of individual jurisdictions and, as such, does not require a logo or letterhead; 2) take the position that a location decision regarding the proposed light rail/commuter corridor alignment is premature at this time and wait until the study is complete to make a recommendation; and 3) take the position that the concept of regional fees to pay for needed future transportation infrastructure improvements is premature at this time inasmuch as the Plan consultant will be charged with making recommendations for infrastructure funding. 9.
