The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Transit Organizational

to implement the recommendations, were supported by the Metropolitan Transit
Development Board (MTDB) on June 21 , 1984, and by the SANDAG Board on June 22,
1984. Attached for Council 's information are: the final report of the
Committee (including a summary of recommendations) and the legislation that
has been drafted to implement the Committee 's recommendations. The Committee
requested each jurisdiction affected by this legislation to review and comment

SANDAG is in attendance to answer any questions Council may have.

DISCUSSION:
The following is a brief discussion of Policy Committee recommendations and
their impacts on Chula Vista:
Recommendation:

each jurisdiction 's TDA funds equal to the percentage of each jurisdiction 's
FY 1983-84 TDA apportionment claimed for regional service or 5% of its annual
TDA apportionment whichever is greater.

Impact on Chula Vista:
San Diego Transit Route 29 is the only "regional " route which currently
operates in Chula Vista. This recommendation, therefore, affects the way
Route 29 service will be provided in Chula Vista, and the cost to Chula Vista
of that service. In FY 1983-84, Chula Vista paid $73,179 to San Diego Transit
for Route 29 service. This amount was 6.1% of the City of Chula Vista's FY
1983-84 TDA apportionment. Therefore, under this recommendation, the City of
Chula Vista will pay 6.1% of its TDA apportionment for Route 29 service after
this recommendation is implemented. As indicated in Section 12c of the
attached legislation (page 10) , this formula for funding regional services
will remain in effect for a minimum of three fiscal years and then may be
amended by agreement of all affected jurisdictions and the Board. Once this
recommendation is implemented, the City of Chula Vista will no longer contract
for transit service provided by the current Route 29. This service will be
provided by MTDB.
Recommendation:
Revise the MTD Board structure to add the Cities of Coronado, Poway, and
Santee, provide for continuous representation for all jurisdictions, and
institute a weighted voting procedure.
Impact on Chula Vista:
This recommendation means that Chula Vista will have one member on the
expanded MTD Board with a weighted vote of seven out of 100 votes. The new
Board structure and weighted voting procedure is explained in detail on pages
8, 9, and 10 of the Policy Committee 's report.
Recommendation:
Allow individual jurisdictions to contract with MTDB for the provision of
local services, in addition to the regional services (voluntary pooling).
Impact on Chula Vista:
The City of Chula Vista may choose to voluntarily pool all of its TDA funds to
MTDB for the operation of local transit services within the City of Chula
Vista.
Recommendation:
Eliminate the "75%" provision which allows MTDB to claim a minimum of 75% of
each jurisdictions unused TDA funds each year.
Impact on Chula Vista:
The City of Chula Vista will no longer have to amend its Article 4.0 TDA claim
in order to "reserve" the TDA funds for future projects.

Meeting Date 7/17/84
The Policy Committee recommendations give the City of Chula Vista, and other
jurisdictions in the San Diego area, the option to retain local control over
transit services within each jurisdiction. The recommendations also ensure
the provision of a regional network of transit services, and strengthens and
formalizes MTDB's role as a regional transit agency in the San Diego area.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
