ATTACHMENT I <br /> RESOLUTION NO. <br /> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON, <br /> ADOPTING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF THE TRI-VALLEY <br /> TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL (TVTC) JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS <br /> AGREEMENT <br /> WHEREAS, the TVTC jurisdictions of the Cities of San Ramon, Dublin, Livermore, <br /> Pleasanton, the Town of Danville, and the Counties of Alameda and Contra Costa entered into <br /> a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement(JEPA) in 1998 to create the Tri-Valley Transportation <br /> Development Fees (TVTDF) as a mechanism to partially fund the $763 million cost of 11 <br /> original high priority projects the TVTC Strategic Expenditure Plan (SEP) needed to address <br /> some of the more congested elements of the Tri-Valley transportation network; and <br /> WHEREAS, the TVTC Strategic Expenditure Plan (SEP) identified 11 high priority <br /> transportation improvements to the regional transportation system necessary to accommodate <br /> traffic growth from ongoing development in the Tri-Valley area and elsewhere; and <br /> WHEREAS, on July 31, 2013, the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) approved <br /> the new Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, authorizing staff to forward the plan to the seven- <br /> member jurisdictions for local adoption. In order to adopt the proposed JEPA, the governing <br /> bodies of all seven-member jurisdictions must act to approve the JEPA; and <br /> WHEREAS, the primary purposes of the new JEPA amendments is to remove the <br /> Strategic Expenditure Plan (SEP) and the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF) <br /> document from the JEPA in order to expedite and build in flexibility to adapt to changes as <br /> needed, eliminate overlapping inconsistencies between the two existing governing documents, <br /> remove outdated language, to streamline administrative processes, and address agency status; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, the new Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement is a new stand-alone <br /> agreement that officially supersedes all the previous agreements; and <br /> WHEREAS, the new Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA)would: <br /> 1. Create an independent agency that retains the same structure, membership, and <br /> focus of the TVTC. The purpose of creating a separate agency is to enable the <br /> TVTC to enter into contracts on its own behalf, streamline decision-making <br /> processes, and apply for and receive grant funding on behalf of TVTC projects. <br /> 2. Change the existing voting requirements for any JEPA, SEP, or TVTD fee <br /> modifications from unanimity to a 6:1 supermajority. <br /> 3. Eliminate overlapping inconsistencies that currently exist in the TVTC's <br /> governing documents, i.e. the Joint Powers Agreement (1991) and Joint Exercise <br /> of Powers Agreement (1998) and addendums thereto. <br /> 4. Eliminate outdated language that currently exists both in the JPA (1991) and <br /> JEPA(1998) <br />
