Kembers of th~ Council:
""';'
Vesignatpd Countywide agencies can receive funds generat@d under AS 434, which
imposes a $4.00 per vehicle registrattcn fee. In July 1992, the City Co~ncil
adopted a resolut,o~ designating the Santa Clara Cou~ty Congestion Management Agency
(CMA) for receipt of appropriate AB 434 funds. This destgnation WaS based on use of
the funds for the Santa Clara County Co,.,..,utEr Network.
In May 1993, tn! CMA decided to not continue the Commuter Network as part of the
decision to not seek adm;nistrat;~e responsibility for local vehicle trip reduction
programs under the BaY Area Air Q~ality Management District's Regulation 13, Rule 1.
This action means that the County share of AB 434 funds will be available for other
uses consistent witn AS 434. Eligible uses are identified if I Section 1 {bl of the
attached resolution. The purpose of the attached resolution i. to expand the list
of permitted uses beyond the 1992 resolution, which limited the C~ to using AB 434
funds for the Commuter Network program.
On July I, 1993, the ~ adopted. motion requesting that Santa Clara County and the
cities within the County approve the ittached resolutfon amending the designltion of
th~ CMA as Program Manager for AS 434 funds. Approval of this action by Santa Clara
County and a majortty of the IS cities containing a majority of the County
population is necessary for the amended deSignation to be ~ffectiye.
Recorrmendation
Stiff recommends that the City Cauncil approve the attached resolution amending the
designation Qf the Santa Clara County Congestion Management Agenty to receive AB 434
funds.
