Mike Selling noted his comment regarding the service to Pleasanton Bart wasn’t on the minutes. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. 3. Public Presentation: None. 4. Technical Items for discussion: B through F CONSENT CALENDAR G. Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) Capital Project List Amendments H. Short Range Transit Plan Guidelines I. Federal FY 2018/19 (FFY 19) FTA Section 5311 Program of Projects P5 Mike Selling asked that items G and H be pulled for discussion. Mr. Selling asked for clarification on the increase for the SR-120 at McKinley Avenue and I-205 at Mountain House/International Parkway projects. He asked for the reason behind the amendment. Diane Nguyen stated that is due to an updated cost estimate, and in case of one of the projects, the update was a $10 million increase. As a result, the cities wanted to get the latest cost estimates reflected to get a revised calculation of eligible RTIF amount. Mike Selling asked about the difference between the Regional Transit Systems Plan (RTSP) and the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). Diane Nguyen explained the SRTP applies to a short-range plan of the local transit operator. It is similar to a Capital Improvement Program for roads and streets as it is financially constrained and identifies capital and operating needs by the local operation. The RTSP is the COG’s planning document which compiles information from each transit operator’s individual SRTPs. John Andoh asked if all Short Range Transit Plans are due in Dec. 2018. Diane Nguyen stated Dec 2018 is a target deadline, as it is not expected or possible for everyone to update their plans by this exact date. She said if plans are updated within six months of this date, that would be reasonable to keep them consistent and relevant. It was moved/seconded (Selling/Andoh) to approve the consent calendar. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. B. Protecting SB 1: Nicole Gorham stated this is for action to oppose the SB 1 repeal effort. Ms. Gorham noted taking this action has no fiscal impact on the SJCOG, however, if SB 1 is repealed, $341,000 will be lost from the SJCOG Overall Work Program for planning activities. In addition, estimates anticipated at least $27 million a year in additional local road and street improvements throughout San Joaquin County. Should the SB 1 repeal be successful, the fiscal impact will be the loss of these funds as well as millions in competitive statewide funds. Mike Selling asked if SJCOG or other agencies have plans to educate the public. Ms. Gorham stated staff is planning on reaching out to the public but are waiting to see if the repeal will be on the November ballot. It was moved/seconded (Zaca/Borre) to approve support transportation funding from SB 1 and oppose the November 2018 ballot measure to repeal SB 1. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. C. 2018 Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) and 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP): Diane Nguyen presented this item and stated the four documents listed in the staff report; final PEIR, RTP/SCS, FTIP, and the Air Quality Conformity Analysis will be considered for adoption by the SJCOG Board on June 28, 2018. If adopted, the four documents will be posted to the SJCOG website and submitted to state and federal P6 agencies for review and approval. Ms. Nguyen stated the approval process typically takes several months. It was moved/seconded (Kim/Lantsberger) to recommend approval of the 2018 RTP/SCS and 2019 FTIP. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. D. FY 2018/19 Unmet Transit Needs Findings: Diane Nguyen announced SJCOG staff recommendations are to (1) adopt Unmet Transit Needs Findings for San Joaquin County as a result of the FY 18-19 Unmet Transit Needs public outreach process. (2) Set aside $175,000 from the section 99313 regional portion of the FY 18/19 State Transit Assistance Program (re-apportioned from a current set-aside of $250,000 for Non- Emergency Medical Transportation) for weekend service from San Joaquin County to BART. (3) Support continued collaboration with RTD and the City of Tracy to develop a scope and funding strategy for service between Tracy, Mountain House, and Delta College. Funding sources that will be considered include the City of Tracy section 5307, City of Tracy Local Transportation Fund, Measure K, and other funding sources. SJCOG staff will return to the Board with a funding recommendation at a future date. Mike Selling asked what had changed that made transit to Mountain House “reasonable to meet” this year. Diane Nguyen stated that RTD, Tracy, and SJCOG were able to define several new concepts on how to provide service in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Mike Selling asked if service to Livermore is on a trial basis. Diane Nguyen stated it is anticipated that this will be an ongoing service. Mike Selling expressed his concerns about the additional recommended services being added to RTD and not having enough funds to fund the previous services. Ed Lovell said the City of Tracy is going through their Short Range Transit Plan and are making sure service is cost effective for everybody. John Andoh asked Mike Selling for clarification regarding the County’s LTF funding to RTD. Mike Selling stated it is to fund existing service.
