RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/574 supporting a Countywide one-half of one percent sales tax to fund transportation improvements in Contra Costa County, approving a transportation expenditure plan, and conditionally amending the Measure J growth management program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No immediate impact. The recommendation addresses an outside agency's actions, and the subject sales tax must ultimately be approved through a countywide vote. If approved, approximately an additional $3.6 billion (current dollars) would be available for transportation projects and programs throughout the county. In the event the proposed Sales Tax/Transportation Expenditure Plan measure qualifies for the ballot, CCTA has committed to pay the cost to place the measure on the ballot (estimated to be $1.5 million).
