13 Reso. 89-253 NCS Opposing the Sonoma .County Transportation Improvement and
14 Growth- Management .Plan. Council Representatives Tencer and Sobel advised the
15 Council that there had been no discussron at the. committee meetings on how the°
16 local allocation. would be shared yet, a motion was made on the basis of allocating
17~ 50% for°population and 50% for road Holes. The Council was piqued due to the .
18 fact that there were many issues to deal with and he document was not received
19 with enough time to evaluate it. Some of the CounciPs concerns were as follows:
20 Local Tax Share Council had not discussed paying 50% road miles and 50% sales
~21 tax._ Council would like to use the gas tax formula which is based on population.
22 Expenditure Plan Council would like to reduce the rail share from $100 million
23 dollars to $40 million dollars which was the amount originally set aside to acquire
24 the right-of-way.
25 Representation the city is .not in favor of eight cities representatives and five
26 Supervisor representatives to make up the authority. An authority consisting of
27 eight city representatives and two members of the Board of Supervisors is
28 reasonable. -
29 Bonding the City Council feels it is important for the Authority to retain its legal
3o ability to bond projects without seeking voter approval for each project it may want
31 to bond.
32 There was uncertainty regarding the number of lanes widening U.S. 101, whether it
33 was one (1) lane from the 1Vlarm/Petaluma County line to Windsor or as stated in
34 the. document, widening U. S. 101 to six lanes from 1Vlarin/Petaluma County line to
35 Windsor River Road. Council's prerequisite would be that these are on the HOV
36 lanes from Windsor Road -South.
37 Michael Davis - Stated he would like to see the $60.0 million go back to the cities
38 because there are enough. projects within the cities to warrant that expenditure.
39 Larry- Tencer - believes the voters need a plan that can be funded with the majority
40 of sales tax money.
41 There was also concern that the 1/2 cent option was not explored to any degree.
