THE CITY OF 4 /t�� ‘‘ j�L£zAS�4NTONa CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT October 15, 2013 Community Development Traffic Engineering Division TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE NEW TRI-VALLEY TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT SUMMARY The City of Pleasanton has worked with the other members of the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) to update and revise its Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA). This new Agreement will supersede the previous two governing documents and allows additional flexibility in the project approval process. Unlike previous TVTC JEPA updates, the new agreement creates an independent agency able to accept grant funding and enter into contracts on its own behalf. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of the new Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. FINANCIAL STATEMENT While there is no direct cost associated with the adoption of this JEPA, its adoption is a step toward initiating collection of the previously approved TVTC fee increase (City Council - April 2011). Although the fee increase was approved in 2011 by the Pleasanton City Council, the TVTC JEPA revisions were not adopted by TVTC which prevented the collection of the updated fee. The collection of the revised fee was placed on hold until the JEPA could be revised. The Tri-Valley Transportation Fee is collected for every development project in the City of Pleasanton. These fees go directly into the Tri-Valley Traffic Fee account for use on the identified projects. Once the new TVTC JEPA is approved by all the jurisdictions, the TVTC will review the TVTC fee increase. The fee increase will then be reviewed by each jurisdiction's Council for consideration and adoption.
