RECOMMENDATION(S):

REFER the attached list of issues to the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee for action in 2013, as recommended by the Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The cost to staff this Committee is included in the budget of the Department of Conservation and Development. Cost for Committee reports are borne by the department or agency responsible for addressing the referral item.

BACKGROUND:

Each year the Board of Supervisors is asked to approve a list of issues to be referred to its standing committees. The attached list of issue referrals was reviewed and approved by the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee at its December 6 meeting for recommendation to the full Board.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The referral list is similar to the 2012 referral list but a few new topics have been added. These include the development of an ordinance regarding single-use plastic bags and polystyrene food containers mentioned in item # 5; the San Francisco-to-Stockton Ship Channel deepening project added to item # 14 regarding freight transportation issues; the addition of County flood control facilities as item # 6; and the addition of taxicab and public transportation services as item # 18. These items were not specifically included in the 2012 referral list, but have been added due to the expectation that these are topics that will require Committee review in 2013.

The Board is asked to approve this list of referrals to the Committee for 2013. If any new issues arise that are not included on the attached referral list, the new issue will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for a referral before the Committee discusses it.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee will not have a Board-approved list of issues to discuss.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
