Item 6e Resolution approvin~ Principles Of Agreement for adoption Of the Tri-va!ley Tnmsportation Development Fee. (SR97:337) Randall Lum presented the staff report. Ms. Michelotti commented on what had been discussed at the last TVTC meeting. She said 20% of the fee calculated will be set aside so each jurisdiction would be able to choose its own project on the list. For Pleasanton, it could be the 1-580 interchange or the BART station. In addition, at the meeting some reservation was expressed about what would happen if not all jurisdictions bought into the program and should the remaining members go forth without Livermore. She asked for direction for the next TVTC meeting. She said Livermore would rather spend its share of the fee toward Highway 84. TVTC' s concern regarding reimbursement issues for interchange improvements that have already been made has been set forth at two different meetings. There is some movement toward getting Dublin to agree. Mayor Tarvet felt the spirit has been lost that was there when this process started. He said he wants the BART station. Livermore wants Highway 84. All jurisdictions want the 1- 580/680 fly-over. He said there arc insufficient resources to make a decision and everyone is fighting to get on top. He said he would not vote on this resolution. Ms. Michelotti urged him to participate. Ms. Dennis said it is a very difficult situation. It is hard to work together when there are insufficient resources. She believed the principle of the fee is very important and there is a need to have it. Ms. Michelotti said there is agreement that the 1-580/680 interchange would be the first priority project. Pleasanton has committed to pay its fair share and when this is implemented the first funds collected would reimburse the jurisdictions that said they would participate. Ms. Dennis said having the structure will allow the City to save time and money. Ms. Ayala said the problem with the structure is that the money is not available for the projects on the list. The only goal that is being accomplished is the 1-580/680 flyover. Ms. Dennis said there is not always the money but a list has been established for when the money becomes available. It is a long and tiring process. Mayor Tarvet felt there needed to be discussions with Livermore in regards to Highway 84. Ms. Dennis agreed, but felt approving this resolution tonight would not preclude the City Pleasanton City Council 13 11/18/97 Minutes
