APPROVING POLICIES FOR THE TRI-VALLEY
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEE
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville is a participating member of the Tri-Valley Transportation
Council (TVTC); and
WHEREAS, each TVTC member has adopted the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan
for Routes of Regional Significance and agreed to pursue the joint adoption of
transportation development fees; and
WHEREAS, certain mutually agreed policies must be adhered to by each of the Tri-Valley
jurisdictions if an equitable tee program to implement the plan is to be enacted by each
jurisdiction; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the Danville Town Council that the following policies are approved for
inclusion in the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee:
1. Each jurisdiction shall adopt their own version of the Tri-Valley Transportation
Development Fee (TVTDF), in substantially the same language as each of the other
jurisdictions, including the high priority projects listed on Exhibit 1.
2. The proposed fee rates shall be those shown on Exhibit 2. Additional
consideration must be given to existing local traffic fee schedules in Tri-Valley
ju~sdictior~. Current Town of Danville Assessment District, Benefit District, TIP,
and SCC Sub-Regional fees should be compared to other Tri-Valley jurisdictions
current fees to estimate the total burden of all fees -- including the proposed
TVTDF.
3. That changes in any jurisdiction's TVTDF will not be unilateral, and will require
comprehensive review by each of the Tri-Valley jurisdictions in terms of equity and
impact of the changes on the completion of those stated projects contemplated to be
funded by the ~IYTDF.
4. That a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) will be formed to set the fees to
be administered by each jurisdiction in accordance with TVTC administrative
guidelines.
5. The first use of the fees shall be for the 1-580/I-680 interchange project, including
reimbursement of funds advanced by member jurisdictions for that project, for
preparation of the "Combined Study" ($15,000 per jurisdiction), and costs associated
with implementation of the TVTDF ($3,000 per jurisdiction).
6. Prioritization of TVTDF improvement projects and the programming of funding
for these projects shall consider the following criteria:
a. Project readiness and status of environmental reviews and necessary
approvals.
b. Ability to use 7VTDF funds to 'leverage "other external funding sources.
c. Commitment of funding from other external sources.
7. Reimbursement of fccs advanced by member jurisdictions shall include interest fixed
at 5 percent.
8. ~lhe rate schedule shall be based on the average of the a.m. and p.m. peak hour trip
rates and uniform land use categories.
9. The Southern Contra Costa (SCC) Regional Fee shall remain intact, and the TVTDF
collected in the SCC area shall be adjusted to prevent double-charging for projects
that are included on both the Southern Contra Costa Regional Fee list and the
TVTDF list.
10. The fees will be adjusted every five years, or as needed, to incorporate updated
project cost estimates, rates of development, project priorities, and external funding
commitments. Each update shall also include a financial plan, specifying cash flow
and project estimates.
11. The fee rates will be automatically adjusted on a annual basis to reflect changes in the
construction cost index published in the Engineering News Record.
12. Additional projects may be added to the project list by unanimous vote of all TVTC
jurisdictions, provided that the fee rate and cash flow can accommodate the added
projects as well as the currently funded projects.
13. Tri-Valley jurisdictions agree to seek external funding for the highest priority

projects, and if successful, support the carryover of any excess funds for
implementation of the next highest priority project.
14. Each jurisdiction shall levy the TVTDF on all Tri-Valley development not legally
precluded from the fee. Development agreements which replace or supersede
agreements will impose the TVTDF requirement on the basis of net incremental
increases in peak period trc~c generation.
15. TVTC may adopt exemption rules by unanimous agreement (e.g. affordable
housing).
16. $3,000 is appropriated from the Local Street Maintenance and Improvement Fund
sub-account of the Capital Improvement Fund to cover costs associated with
implementation of the 'IYTDF, to be reimbursed by future 'IYTDF funds.
17. After funding has been completed for the 1-580//1-680 Interchange Project, future
funds from the TVTDF shall be allocated annually on a proportional basis to the
1-680 Auxiliary Lane Project. This project shall have the same priority for a
proportion of annually available TVTDF funds as other high priority projects.
