None. The staff costs associated with participating on the Technical Coordinating Committee have been included in the budgets of each department.
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 expired on March 31, 2019, and the standard procedure is for member agencies to make new appointments or reappointments every other year for a two-year period.
With the exception of the appointment of Ms. Halle, all recommendations are for reappointments of current County representatives and their alternates 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, 2019, to March 31, 2021:
Land Use Planning: Will Nelson, Alternate Aruna Bhat, Department of Conservation and Development
Transportation Engineering: Jerry Fahy, Alternate Mary Halle, Public Works Department
Transportation Planning: John Cunningham, Alternate Jamar Stamps, Department of Conservation and Development
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.
