will be seeking contributions from developers. He advised Council not to include that the fee will serve as full CEQA mitigation. Ms. Dennis asked if there was an estimate on where the dollars would come from, minus the $70 million that would be generated by a development fee. She asked how land fills and gravel companies would be assessed and what category they fall under. Mr. van Gelder said other methods included Measure B, gas tax, Measure C and toll roads. He said the landfill and gravel companies are located in the County and they would have to implement their own fees based on trip charges. Ms. Michelotti said this was brought to the TVTC and it was decided the TVTC would work with the communities in the future. Mr. van Gelder said if the County was going to implement this fee as part of the development fee, it would fall in the AM/PM peak average category. Ms. Ayala asked if Pleasanton had been forward in its thinking by conditioning approvals with regional traffic fee mitigation and if other communities had also been thinking this way. Mr. Lum said the City had anticipated there eventually would be a regional fee and has conditioned projects to pay this fee when it is enacted. Other communities have thought of this somewhat. The biggest issue is the Bishop Ranch development, which is not paying a regional fee presently. If Bishop Ranch is able to then revise its development agreements prior to January 1, 1998, so it does not have to revise it in the future, then it would not be subject to a regional fee. Ms. Ayala asked if Pleasanton would be putting the business park at a disadvantage by adopting this fee? She asked if it would take as long to get the reimbursement agreements as it did to get this agreement. Mr. Lum said it is a concern that Pleasanton business parks would be paying the fee and Bishop Ranch would not be. A suggestion is to enter into reimbursement agreements with those agencies north of 1-580 to reimburse Pleasanton for the cost of improvements made to the 1-580 interchanges and perhaps in the future funds would be coming in to credit Hacienda property owners. He felt it would not take as long for the reimbursement agreements. The City of Dublin is already collecting funds and has indicated it will enter into a reimbursement agreement. There will need to be similar agreements from Contra Costa County and Danville. If Council approves the resolution, it will go back to TVTC, and that forum can try and get the other communities to come together. Ms. Michelotti asked staff to distinguish what the City already had as far as an understanding for reimbursement for the Hacienda interchange; also the reimbursement the City Pleasanton City Council 08/05/97 Minutes 7
