RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. REAPPOINT John Cunningham (Department of Conservation and Development) and Jerry Fahy (Public Works Department), as the County's staff representatives on the Technical Coordinating Committee of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority; and APPOINT Jamar Stamps (Department of Conservation and Development) and Nancy Wein (Public Works Department) as their alternates, for the period March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2017.

2. APPOINT Will Nelson (Department of Conservation and Development) as the County's staff representative on the Technical Coordinating Committee of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority; and APPOINT Aruna Bhat (Department of Conservation and Development) as his alternate, for the period March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The staff costs associated with participating on the Technical Coordinating Committee have been included in the budgets of each department.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority) convenes its Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) monthly to advise the Authority on technical issues pertaining to the Countywide Transportation Planning and Growth Management Program and the Authority's work as the Countywide Congestion Management Agency.

The TCC has three staff representatives from each of the regional transportation planning committees, three from the County, and one representative each from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the City/County Engineering Advisory Committee, the public transit agencies, Caltrans, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The terms of the current appointments expire on March 31, 2015 and the Authority has requested new appointments or reappointments, (see attached 3/3/15 letter from Authority).

With the exception of the appointments of Mr.Nelson and Ms. Wein, all recommendations are for reappointments of current County representatives on the TCC. If the recommendations of this report are acted on, the following would be the County’s representation in the three categories of TCC membership for the two-year term that will run from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2017:

Land Use Planning: Will Nelson, Alternate Aruna Bhat, Department of Conservation and Development

Transportation Engineering: Jerry Fahy, Alternate Nancy Wein, Public Works Department

Transportation Planning: John Cunningham, Alternate Jamar Stamps, Department of Conservation and Development

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board elect not to approve the recommendations, the County would not have full representation on the Technical Coordinating Committee, which influences the plans, decisions and policies of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
