RE:                   SUMMARY OF THE JANUARY 12TH TAC MEETING

 

The following is a summary of the January 12th WCCTAC-TAC meeting.  The sign-in sheet is attached (for mailed copies).

 

1.                  Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects in West County  – Staff discussed the purpose of the table (provide information on current and potential bicycle and pedestrian projects, and update the information as necessary).  Staff requested any additions or changes to the list by Thursday, January 19th at noon so that the table can be included in the WCCTAC Board packet mailing.  A column will be added (“Countywide Bike/Ped Plan”) to be checked-off if the project is in the Plan.  A footnote will be added that lists upcoming bike/ped funding deadlines.  For clarity, the title of the document will be changed to “Current/Pending Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects and Programs.”

 

2.                  STMP Update – Staff discussed the city council/Board of Supervisors informational outreach campaign (concluded in December).  The TAC discussed the Draft Cooperative Agreement for the STMP that was included in the packet and several changes will be made.  Additional changes can be faxed, emailed, or phoned in to Lisa Hammon prior to January 19th.  The Cooperative Agreement will be presented to the WCCTAC Board this month for review and approval to circulate for comment.  Comments will be due by February 15th in order to include them in the agenda packet for the February 24th WCCTAC meeting.  The WCCTAC Board will approve the final Cooperative Agreement at the February 24th meeting and request that the cities/County take final action in March.  Staff will email the ’97 Cooperative Agreement, draft 2006 Cooperative Agreement and a bullet-point summary of the significant changes to the cities/County for their use in obtaining approval from legal staff and management.  Staff distributed the draft Ordinance and highlighted the sections added by WCCTAC’s attorney.  The Ordinance is on the same timeline as the Cooperative Agreement.  Following adoption of the Cooperative Agreement and the Ordinance, staff will begin working on the Strategic Plan which will include language regarding pre-construction funding.

3.                  Project Prioritization for Measure J/STMP Projects – Staff discussed the chart and suggested that a full discussion of the projects would be more appropriate during the preparation of the Strategic Plan in the next few months.

 

4.                  “Walk and Roll West County” – Nancy Baer and Shannon Ladner-Beasley from Contra Costa Health Services presented information on “Walk and Roll West County,” which is now called Street WISE (“Walking and biking Information and Strategy Exchange”).  See the attached one-page flyer for additional information.  A survey to receive feedback on potential workshop topics was distributed and will also be sent out to the TAC via email.

 

5.                  There were no pubic comments; no additional business was discussed.
