CORRIDOR TRENDS The corridor trends item was received on consent. STATUS OF SENATE BILL 1225 Will Kempton (OCTA) led the discussion on the progress of Senate Bill 1225 (SB 1225). The Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency requested additional amendments to the bill, which have been developed over the past week. Overall, their request centered on consistency with both the San Joaquin bill (Assembly Bill 1779) and Senate Bill 457 (1997). Other changes include revising the 6 deadline of the Interagency Transit Agreement (ITA) from 2014 to 2015. The amended bill was approved by the Assembly Transportation Committee on August 29 and now goes to the Assembly floor and Senate floor for concurrence. These votes must be completed before September 1. Chair Kellejian thanked Mr. Kempton and the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) for all their hard work and focus on this bill. Mr. Kempton in turned thanked the Board of Directors for their assistance. Board members directed staff to develop a sample letter to the Governor urging his signature that can be distributed to local agencies pending this week’s legislative actions. Board Member Salud Carbajal (SBCAG) asked that since the ITA was pushed to 2014-2015, what happens if the state reduces funding in 2013. Mr. Kempton noted this has always been a concern and noted that the original language specified the level of service at 2012/2013 levels. Amendments change this to 2014. Board Member Bill Bronte (Caltrans) concurred with the date change and noted that additional cuts would be addressed if the November revenue initiatives are not approved by voters. REVISED DRAFT AMENDED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT AND BYLAWS Linda Bohlinger (HNTB) presented the revised draft amended joint powers agreement (JPA) and bylaws highlighting the changes since the July Board of Directors meeting. The Board also made additional edits to the documents at the meeting: Draft JPA Document: Section 7.0: revised language regarding managing agency staff Section 13.2.6: language regarding the Managing Director’s authority to hire and fire to be consistent with the bylaws. Section 17.2.6: language added regarding new requirement for super majority to change cost formulas. Draft Bylaws: Article IV, Section D: revised language regarding Managing Direction evaluation Tim McNulty, LOSSAN legal counsel, reminded the Board that the votes were not to approve the documents at this time, only direct staff to accept changes. The Board, by separate votes of 7-0-1, respectively, directed staff to accept all changes to the draft amended JPA and bylaws. MANAGING AGENCY PROPOSED SELECTION PROCESS AND TIMELINE Linda Culp (LOSSAN Staff) outlined the proposed Request for Proposals (RFP) process and timeline for selecting the Managing Agency and changes since the Board’s July meeting, based on comments from the staff working group and CEOs: All voting and ex-officio, and technical members are eligible to apply.
