Requests for funding will be brought to the City Council in the future for approval DESCRIPTION: On February 12 , 1990, the City Council discussed the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) Initial Report titled "A Perspective on Tri-Valley Transportation" (see Attachment 2 ) . At that time, Staff indicated that the TVTC had met on Thursday, February 8,. 1990, and requested each member jurisdiction to consider a draft resolution adopting a TVTC Work Program (see Attachment 1) . The City Council continued its discussion of the initial report so that it could review the report together with the draft resolution. Staff has prepared the following draft comments for City Council review and consideration: Page 9 ; under 2) Local Planning: fifth bullet should read "extension of Hacienda Drive to segment of Dublin Boulevard.

Areas with Major Development Potential, third paragraph, fifth bullet should read: "access to I-580 from new development in the Dougherty and Tassajara Valleys will put strains on north/south arterials through Dublin. " This comment paraphrases the second bullet in the context of Dublin rather than San Ramon and Danville. The draft resolution references the adopted Memorandum of Understanding (see Attachment 3) and the initial report. The draft resolution would do two things : 1 . It would adopt the TVTC 1990 Work Program as attached to the draft resolution. 2 . It would request/direct the Technical Advisory Committee to prepare a detailed report outlining ways to achieve the Work Program for future action by the TVTC. The draft resolution does not provide any funding to accomplish the Work Program. Specific requests for funding would need City Council approval . The Work Program attached to the draft resolution includes the following items : Under Priority #2 Planning for the long term "Providing Council with recommendations , including, those associated with funding and implementation, on how current plans and policies might be changed to address longer-range needs . " [PLNG-08 :CC-TVTC] -2- - Under Priority #3 New approaches to planning: "review and modification, as appropriate, of development and transportation policies in potential rail corridors, to ensure the highest degree of complementation. " The items referenced above may raise several potential policy questions : 1 . Would the work program authorize the TVTC to take actions to change or modify local plans and policies? 2 . Would such actions be consistent with the scope of the Memorandum of Understanding? The City Council may want to adopt a slightly amended work program to be more consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding. Using language similar to that used in the Memorandum of Understanding, the amendments could be as follows : "providing Council with suggestions, including, those associated with funding and implementation, on how current plans and policies might better address longer-range needs . " "review and suggestions regarding development and transportation policies in potential rail corridors, to ensure the highest degree of complementation. " On Friday, February 16 , 1990, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) met and discussed the need to concentrate on concensus building and near term action as indicated as Priority #1 in the 1990 Work Program. The TAC is preparing a rough draft Request for Proposal (RFP) to address only the Priority #1 items as the first phase of the Work Program. The RFP will be reviewed by the TVTC, then presented to the City Council for approval . Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to send comments to the TVTC and consider approving the draft resolution with amendments .
