Ms. Mortensen presented the history of the ACE Cooperative Services Agreement, why it was developed, how funding for the service was developed, and that each agency is responsible for funding. Ms. Mortensen noted COG staff developed a 2-year temporary Rail Commission allocation proposal developed to accommodate the Commission’s LTF request. Ms. Mortensen noted the temporary 2-year proposal was vetted through the COG committees in January and was presented at the COG Board. Ms. Mortensen noted Chair Johnson attended the January COG Board meeting and requested the COG Board delay any decision on the 2-year temporary allocation until the Rail Commission Board had an opportunity to review and discuss the proposal and develop a position. Chair Johnson noted even though we as Rail Commissioners wear many hats as Mayors, City Council members, and SJCOG Board Members, but today we need to put our rail hats on make and take a position on what is best for rail. Commissioner Maciel thanked Ms. Mortensen for the information on what funding and what Santa Clara and Alameda Counties are required to pay to the Rail Commission for operations and what they are required to pay for within their own jurisdiction. With the information provided Santa Clara and Alameda are paying what they are required to pay. Commissioner Maciel commented that while the City of Tracy will not be happy about taking a reduction in funding for the 2-year temporary solution, but might go along with the proposal.
