RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/193 approving the submission of a claim to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to seek Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Transportation Development Act funding in the amount of $1,049,500 for bicycle and pedestrian projects sponsored by the County and the cities of Concord, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, San Pablo, and San Ramon; and DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to forward the claim to MTC for final approval and final allocation of funding effective July 1, 2019, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funds.

BACKGROUND:

Article 3 of the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99200 et seq., authorizes the submission of claims to a regional transportation planning agency for the funding of projects exclusively for the benefit and/or use of pedestrians and bicyclists. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), as the regional transportation planning agency for the San Francisco Bay region, has adopted MTC Resolution No. 4108 which supersedes MTC Resolution No. 875, Revised, commencing with the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 funding cycle. Resolution No. 4108 delineates procedures and criteria for submission of requests for the allocation of TDA Article 3 funds. Each claimant whose project or projects have been prioritized for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2019/2020 TDA Article 3 countywide coordinated claim is required to submit a resolution from its governing body to MTC requesting an allocation of TDA Article 3 funds.

The City of Orinda received written opposition to their TDA, Article 3 Project Application prior to the City’s January 8, 2019 City Council Meeting to consider this item. During the Public Forum on this item, the City Council received public testimony in opposition to the City's TDA, Article 3 Project Application. Following discussion by the City Council, the Council authorized the submittal of the TDA Article 3 Project Application with modifications to the application. County staff recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the submittal of the prioritized list to MTC for final review and approval of all projects considered for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 TDA, Article 3 funding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the recommendation and forward the list will eliminate a potential funding source.
