  The Committee unanimously accepted the staff recommendations and further directed staff to bring Report #3 back to the Committee by the end of the year, and in that report to address the financial implications of taking no action. The Committee further directed staff to bring the report to the full BOS within the next three months and  after  meeting with the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board). Staff was also directed to develop a press release and invite the State Water Board to the BOS and TWIC discussion items.

7. CONSIDER report on Local, State, and Federal Transportation Related Legislative Issues and take ACTION as appropriate including addressing any specific recommendations in the report above.
  The Committee received the report and DIRECTED staff to: 1) continue pursuing options to move the accessible transit study ahead, 2) bring letters to the BOS regarding the California Department of Education's Title 5 update process, 3) to pursue solutions to CCHP's transit service billing issues in conjunction with transit operators and CCTA, 4) investigate vision zero-type policies (inclusive of Automated Speed Enforcment) in conjunction with the process to implement complete streets policies consistent with CCC BOS Resolution No. 2016/374, 5) to bring to the BOS in November a short discussion/placeholder for the Beall/Frazier transportation bill while facilitating discussion between HCP staff and Mark Watts on the same, and 6) develop a legislative response to the Iron Horse Trail legacy grant issue. The California State Transportation Commission (CTC)  has worked collaboratively with County representatives on resolving this long-standing issue, and have recognized that in the intervening decades they have allocated funds for active transportation purposes in the corridor. But, the CTC staff has recently requested a meeting with County representatives, preparing a legislative solution may be in the County’s interest in the event that CTC staff have identified technical matters that may require a statutory solution.
