PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 127-97 The TVTDF program will be reviewed biennially, and adjusted as necessary to reflect changes in project list, project cost, program revenue and other factors. The criteria established in Item 3 above shall be considered in the biennial update, as appropriate. Examples of "other factors" include amendments to state or regional gasoline taxes, reauthorization of County Sales Tax transportation programs, identification of supplemental funding sources for Strategic Expenditure Plan projects, etc. The potential for a public/private toll road facility in the Tri-Valley area to fund portions of the Strategic Expenditure Plan shall be evaluated as appropriate in the update process. If a public/private toll road facility is implemented in the Tri- Valley area, the possibility of reducing the TVTDF fee rates shall be evaluated. The 1-680 Auxiliary Lanes and the Alcosta Boulevard/I-680 Interchange Improvements are included on both the TVTDF and the Southern Contra Costa JEPA project lists. The amount of the TVTDF collected in the SCC JEPA Area shall be reduced by the amount earmarked for these projects in the TVTDF, not to exceed 16% of the TVTDF fee amount for the 1-680 Auxiliary Lanes, and not to exceed 4% for the Alcosta Boulevard/I-680 Interchange Improvement project.
