Dear Friend:
Included in the Executive Director's budget message is an overview of the
positive changes ABAG has undergone since we moved into the MetroCenter
last year. The budget message also describes how the dues increase in 1984
gave ABAG the necessary boost to begin building a solid financial picture.
The budget for the upcoming fiscal year proposes a small dues increase of
7%. This recommended increase will allow ABAG to gradually build its
operating capital. During the next six months ABAG will be examining ways
to achieve a permanent funding source.
Last year both the Finance and Personnel Committee and the Executive Board
reviewed several possible permanent funding alternatives. After some
preliminary discussion, it was recommended that a blue ribbon task force be
established to examine the future of regional planning and long-term
financing for ABAG. The task force will be made up of distinguished
leaders in government, business and academia. Additional information about
the task force will be provided at the General Assembly.
If you have any questions or concerns about the budget, there are several
opportunities to have your thoughts heard. The Executive Board will be
reviewing the proposed budget at its meeting on February 21, at 7:30 p.m.
at the MetroCenter. Please feel free to attend the meeting to present your
concerns, or contact your representative on the Executive Board to express
your concerns. The Executive Board will forward its budget recommendations
to the General Assembly for adoption.
I hope you have received the March 15 General Assembly registration
brochure. The theme is an issue we face on a daily basis and one we can't
ignore--"Unlocking Gridlock: A Look at Bay Area Traffic Problems." It
promises to be an interesting and provocative meeting. Please plan to
attend.
Best wishes,

Re Notice of Proposed Amendment to 'ABAG Bylaws
;"r F ,
At the .October meeti n 'of then Executive Board, the Board -proposed an
amendment 'to the agency's Byl,aws' that woul d permit non-profit
organizations to join as non-voting Cooperating Members. `,-This amendment
would permit the Association to offer certain services to such agencies
that benefit the public (e.g. participating in ABAG's credit pooling
program)
The Executive Board recommended the amendment shown below to Part B of
Article III of the ABAG Bylaws, as drafted by the Legal Counsel . The
Executive Board would retain the right to approve membership; as with the
current provisions, Cooperating Members exercise no vote in ABAG or its
pol icy bodies. In this case, the Executive Board would be asked to approve
participating as a Cooperating Member only if (1) such an agency's
participation would serve a public purpose and (2) if such an agency was
not owned or operated by a church.
With that understanding , the Executive Board recommended approval of the
amendment. .
B. COOPERATING MEMBERS
(1) Subject to the approval of the Executive Board, aAy
gayernmeyiW *m-ky'er. ptiW ageRey'-any governmental entity, public
:agency, or ncri-profit organization not eligible for membership under
Article III- A of these Bylaws may elect to join the Association as a
Cooperating Member. ,
(2) Cooperating Members shall be entitled to attend all meetings
of the General Assembly and of the Executive Board, but shall not be
entitled to vote or participate in debate. No Cooperating Member shall
be considered a "contracting party" as that term.is used in the Act.
(3) Cooperating Members shall be entitled to receive data,
studies, planning documents, special services, and other written materials
and services of the Association subject to policies adopted by the
Executive Board.

Nearly a'yearago, ° after-23 years :of ,renting space at the Hotel Claremont,,,
the Association moved to.,the MetroCenter, trwhich--together ,with BART and .,;,.,-..
MTC--we now own. r .As a .-result of the move;- our- services .and staff.are,more,.F,

symbolized several other changes taking _place at ABAG as we approach our
second .quarter-century.
IL.'. h- :T $ Y:,7 : Ga ? i F'q st:-
We've managed to make the transition from a relatively large agency of
125 to a small one with only 32 employees. Our standards are as high
as ever, but we can't do all that we're asked to do--or should be
doing.
• Our products are more suited to local needs. We've moved from:-an
r
organization primarily funded by the federal government to, one in _Ft•a r
which local, state and self-generated contractual funds_ provide the,,:,,q
bulk \of our income. r i
".,'_.,.:_....... . .fr; S;'i'. �;:i7_.�3'..._.. t,. •ter.•-- .>,ta ..._...i:.....F.,1 ..,
We've focused our energy on achieving direct results.., ,This, year we've
opened a demonstration marsh to fight^Bay;pollution; ,seen credit;- .
pooling cut the cost of borrowing capital; -broadened our training for
` members and their staffs; and extended our technical studies to
include the growing solid waste problem and the Bay Area's economic
competitiveness.
• Staff expertise has been concentrated where its need is most
perceived, by focusing on c ritical 'services and specific sub-regional .i
areas, such as the 101 and 680 corridors.
Although ABAG's changes have brought solid achievements and a more popular
program, two problems, mentioned in last year's budget message, still
remain. They are not unrelated. On the one hand, more assistance and
coordination is needed in planning for economic development and housing
production. On the other hand, ABAG's dues cover only a quarter of our
budget, and do not provide a firm foundation for the Association in the
years ahead.

Nevertheless, there are two reasons for cautious optimism. one is that, in
last year's pending financial .crisis, ABAG's members rallied round and gave
the most tangible support possible, in the form of a two-thirds dues'"
increase. The other is that the Executive Board has •approved the creation
of a task force to examine the future of regional planning and its 'Tong-ar:�':
term' financing
For the-.coming year; the Finance & Per sonne1 ''Committee joins me -in , E!� �'
`recommending a much more modest increase .in member`-,con tributions;;than;last ;
year--7 percent. This will al low`.us •to continue alowly`building the
working capital we need to operate,`which 18 ;months-`ago had evaporated'
entirely, causing us regularly to borrow funds simply.•to.meet :the payroll :
and pay our ,bills. It will also enable`us to 'continue the current level of
assistancerto'our''members,''°'including-the Joint subiegional transportation ::•;:

LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES
DATA AND ANALYSIS (1 )
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 support economic
development in the region. With completion of Projections 185 in June
1985, major efforts in FY 1985-86 will include:
• continuing expansion, updating and use of the data base
and latest models to assist in areawide public and
private planning and impact assessment, including
identifying the implications of rapid job growth for
local and subregional housing markets and transportation
systems; and
• using the latest data base and forecasting information to
assess growth impacts on public infrastructure
requirements and corresponding impacts on the region's
economy.
PLANNING SERVICES (1 )
Over the years ABAG has established a broad base of staff expertise in
policy and implementation program development in many program areas. These
capabilities are now 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.
• Subregional Studies - In FY 1984-85, ABAG participated in
several studies examining interrelationships among jobs,
housing and transportation issues: M2C's SCR 74 Transit Study
in the 101 Peninsula Corridor (San Francisco, San Mateo and
Santa Clara Counties); the Joint ABAG-MTC I680/580 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; and
Contra Costa County's San Ramon Branchline 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. Refinement
of this method and development of recommendations for improving
jobs/housing balance to relieve traffic congestion will continue in
FY 1985-86. Other studies will be undertaken as appropriate.
18
• Plan and Project Preview - Review of Federal grant applica-
tions will continue under procedures for State and Areawide
Clearinghouse Review established by the Office of Planning and
Research 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 discussion of regional concerns embodied in
Regional Plan policies adopted by the General Assembly. 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.
• Infractructure Financing - During FY 1984-85, ABAG continued
pursuing more fundamental changes in State financing laws to
improve the infrastructure financing capability of local
governments. This same activity will be continued during the
next fiscal year, especially efforts to improve local capabi-
lity to raise funds for replacement of capital equipment.
• Airports - This program provides staff to the ABAG/MTC
Regional Airport Planning Committee. In FY 1985-86, 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.
• Hazardous Materials - Implementation of the Regional Hazardous
Spills Response Plan, adopted in FY 1982-83, continues,
including assistance to local governments with training of
response personnel; prevention programs for transport
accidents; prevention programs for stationary source releases;
preparing local plans dealing with transportation-related and
stationary source incidents, preparing risk assessments for
transport of hazardous materials through a community, and
public education.
o Energy Conservation - Programs to help member governments
reduce energy consumption and save money have included: the
Gasoline Conservation Awareness Program (GasCAP) to help local
governments and other vehicle fleet operators conserve energy
and reduce air pollution; development of a specially
tailored/GasCAP training course for bus drivers, applicable to
transit districts and school districts; assistance to MTC in
preparing a handbook for local governments describing measures
to mitigate traffic problems, improve air quality and conserve
energy; continuing program to assist MTC in training local
staff in use of the handbook and implementation of control
measures best suited to their needs; continuing energy
conservation services program for local governments.
19
CENSUS DATA CENTER (2)
In this continuing program, Census 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 - SMALL CONTRACTS (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 may include assistance in plan and plan element preparation,
control measure design, risk assessment, impact assessment, technical
studies and special area plans, data analysis and report preparation.
CREDIT POOLING (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 to finance new equipment and real estate
purchases through tax-exempt Certificates of Participation. Through this
program cities are able to avoid high interest rates of individually
borrowed funds or save by sharing, on a pro-rata basis, costs associated
with issuing the certificates, such as bond counseling and financial
advice. In addition to publicizing and expanding this service, ABAG will
continue looking into other ways in which joint action will mean cost
savings in meeting local needs.
TRAINING INSTITUTE (2)
In the two 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 ABAG's Housing, Water Quality, Hazardous Materials, Energy and
Infrastructure Financing Programs, as well as a continuing series of
courses in microcomputer applications for local financial, operating and
planning programs. In FY 84-85 the curriculum was expanded to include
courses in solid and hazardous waste management, as well as workshops to
assist local officials and staff in the use of the Traffic Mitigation
Reference Guide (prepared by MTC with ABAG participation). The course
schedule will be expanded in 1985-86. Registration fees cover the costs of
the Institute.
o Hazardous Spills Training Center (3) - A series of courses on
hazardous materials spills response for local emergency
personnel, funded by a federal Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act Grant through a contract with the State
Department of Health Services, will continue in FY 1985-86.
Matching funds have come from local .fire departments.
20
SPECIAL-PROJECTS
WATER QUALITY (3)
Activities since 1978 have focused on amending and implementing the
Regional Water Quality Management Plan adopted in that year. Recent,
current and proposed programs, funded under Sec. 205(j) of the Clean Water
Act, via the State Water Resources 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 problems of small scale
generators of hazardous wastes; pooled financing of unfunded priority
wastewater treatment projects; development of a Small Generators Hazardous
Waste Collection System in Alameda County; and several studies for EPA's
Integrated Environmental Management Program in Silicon Valley. ABAG dues
provide local match.
AIR QUALITY (3)
The 1985 update of the Air Quality Management Plan will be completed in FY
1985-86. Implementation through the Advisory Review and Conformity
Assessment Program will continue. Implementation efforts will be
documented in the 1986 annual progress report.
EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS (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 insfrastructure
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. The National Science Foundation-funded program to develop a
building occupancy inventory for use in estimating earthquake casualties
and losses began in FY 1984-85 and will continue into FY 1985-86. Funding
is being sought for additional programs.
WASTE MANAGEMENT (1 )
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 waste management issues of concern to cities and
counties. In FY 1984-85, responding to critical waste management problems
facing many Bay Area local governments, ABAG initiated a series of papers
addressing regional solid waste issues for presentation at Regional
Planning Committee forums. The Executive Board endorsed recommendations
that ABAG take an active role in raising public awareness of the severity
of the problems and in working with local governments in developing
cooperative solutions. Outside funding is being sought from a variety of
sources to expand this program in the next fiscal year.
21
HYPERTENSION CONTROL (3)
The State Department of Health Services has asked ABAG to 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 involves 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.
AGENCY MANAGEMENT
PUBLIC INFORMATION/REGIONAL LIAISON (1 )
ABAG recognizes the need to involve elected officials, citizens,
. technicians, the private sector and special interest groups in the
planning process. The Public Affairs staff conducts a coordinated
communications program which includes: the production of a government
directory, bibliographies, newsletters, rosters, informational brochures,
and fact sheets; liaison with the news and slide-tape presentations;
publications sales; regional issues information files and mailing lists;
coordination of General Assemblies, public hearings, workshops,
conferences, and meetings of the Executive Board and standing committees;
