RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. APPOINT Jamar Stamps (Department of Conservation and Development) and Will Nelson (Department of Conservation and Development) as the County's staff representatives on the Technical Coordinating Committee of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority; and APPOINT John Cunningham (Department of Conservation and Development) and Aruna Bhat (Department of Conservation and Development) as their alternates, respectively, for the period March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2023.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

2. APPOINT Jerry Fahy (Public Works Department) as the County's staff representative on the Technical Coordinating Committee of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority; and APPOINT Nancy Wein (Public Works Department) as his alternate, for the period March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The staff costs associated with participating on the Technical Coordinating Committee are 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 Plan and Growth Management Program and the Authority's work as the Countywide Congestion Management Agency. The TCC is composed of three representatives from the County, three representatives from each of the four regional transportation planning committees, 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, 2021, and the standard procedure is for member agencies to make new appointments or reappointments every other year for a two-year period.

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, 2021, to March 31, 2023:

-Land Use Planning: Will Nelson, Aruna Bhat (Alternate), Department of Conservation and Development
-Transportation Engineering: Jerry Fahy, Nancy Wein (Alternate), Public Works Department
-Transportation Planning: Jamar Stamps, John Cunningham (Alternate), Department of Conservation and Development

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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