[5:58] yes
the item is
[6:05] for approval to issue an uh urban limit

[6:08] for the policy advisory letter to local
oh i'm on the wrong one
[6:12] the wrong one that's last month i have
it here if you need me to announce it
[6:18] yeah 4a
approval of work plan to update the
[6:22] congestion management program for 2021
and this will be provided by matt kelly
[6:27] wonderful thank you go ahead matt thank
you
[6:30] uh chair mitch often planning committee
members great to be here tonight
[6:35] so i'm here to present the work plan
for the congestion management program as
[6:41] you may know
this the cmp is legislatively required
[6:46] as a congestion management agency as the
congestion
[6:50] management agency for contra costa we
are required to update it every two
[6:54] years
uh this will be our 15th update since
[6:57] 1991
and just for a little background i know
[7:00] most of you heard this before but i'll
uh let the new member know that the
[7:04] congestion management program was
developed back in 1991 as a statewide
[7:08] program
um in response to uh kind of sprawl
[7:12] development and
things like that going on around the
[7:14] state and they used
measure c at the times growth management
[7:18] program
as the template for the state's
[7:22] congestion management program
uh so we there are definitely some
[7:27] overlaps
so what is required under the cmp is
[7:31] that we
establish level of service standards for
[7:34] a county-wide roadway network
that includes all our state highways and
[7:38] principal arterials
that we establish performance measures
[7:42] and metrics uh for the multimodal system
uh transportation system that we
[7:48] identify a capital improvement program
to maintain that transportation system
[7:55] that we have a program to analyze the
impacts of land use
[7:59] developments on the transportation
system that really is what our growth
[8:03] management program does
and then a travel demand element
[8:09] that promotes alternatives to the single
entrepreneur vehicle
[8:14] so those are the main uh requirements of
the cmp
[8:17] as i mentioned the gmp fulfills many of
those requirements
[8:21] and i'm going to hit on that a little
bit later for
[8:24] an added uh something added this time
around
[8:28] uh because of that uh the gmp fulfilling
all those requirements
[8:34] so the cmp must uh demonstrate
consistency with the current adopted rtp
[8:39] uh
our last year's our last time we updated
[8:43] in 2019
we have the same rtp adopted so
[8:47] we're referring back to the same rtp
mtc's guidelines
[8:52] for 2021 state that uh consistency
will be with that same older rtp
[8:58] and they're advising for a limited
update of the cmps so
[9:02] we are proposing a limited uh technical
update
[9:05] of the cmp focusing on any changes since
2019 but our primary focus will be
[9:11] the biannual monitoring monitoring we do
of the entire system including
[9:18] collecting pedestrian and bicycle
accounts at 65
[9:22] locations around the county in addition
to all the freeways
[9:25] um the major addition that i was
alluding to a little bit earlier
[9:29] is that for the first time we in the cmp
we will
[9:33] examine the authority opting out of the
cmp process
[9:38] um this is something that's been talked
about a while
[9:41] um we feel like because the gmp
does satisfy most of the requirements
[9:47] and we're really just doing kind of a
this is a formality um we do we do get
[9:52] some good things out of it like the
monitoring
[9:54] um but we feel like
we may be better off just opting out so
[10:00] as part of this update we will examine
that we are
[10:04] working with mtc to make sure that
there are no funds lost in in that
[10:10] opting out
uh when it comes to gas taxes things
[10:13] like that
[10:16] we look to our our peers up at uh
sonoma county who opted out several
[10:21] years ago and have been
uh just fine um la county just opted out
[10:26] uh this past year which is what really
got our attention we've been following
[10:30] that process
so we'll come back to you when uh we
[10:33] have our draft cmp with a little more
information there but um our proposal is
[10:38] to uh move ahead of the work plan do the
monitoring of the system
[10:42] uh this spring so we can really uh get a
better look at the uh
[10:47] the impacts of covid and
a schedule for the cmp update is in your
[10:53] packet
and i can take any questions okay thank
[10:56] you
um i'm almost home but i still can't see
[11:00] hands raised
so uh i have it i can't karen
[11:05] your recommendation matt is just to
start this
[11:08] but not opt out at this time correct
start that's our work plan part of the
[11:14] work plan is is
examining that opt-out and coming back
[11:17] to you okay
it just has to start the plan i'll move
[11:20] it
um i have a question does anybody else
[11:23] have a question
okay matt i want to make sure i
[11:27] understand you're i understand you're
looking at it this year
[11:30] um and and was the main reason that that
it's duplicative of other work we do
[11:36] or is there any downside to us
opting out well it is it is duplicative
[11:42] of the growth management program
um so that's our primary reason but the
[11:46] only reason we haven't opted out is
because
[11:48] we're worried that losing
that cmp uh being part of the cmp will
[11:56] could affect us somehow so we will look
into that working with mtc
[12:00] they've told us we won't initially so
we'll keep
[12:04] investigating that if if there's a
chance we would lose funds somehow we
[12:08] would not
uh go forward with the object now but we
[12:11] don't think that's going to be
well and if sonoma's opted out and dave
[12:16] rabbit sits on mtc so i i'm going to do
that okay
[12:20] are there any other hands raised
[12:26] um chris did you did i hear something
no no i'll just second dave's motion
[12:31] okay move by hudson seconded by
kelly uh do we have any public comment
[12:37] on this
[12:40] hearing that we no don't we have a roll
call vote please
[12:44] yes commissioner hudson aye commissioner
white
[12:48] hi commissioner kelly hi vice chair
haskew
[12:53] hi here mitch off
[12:58] tear mitch off oh darren
did we lose you i think she's frozen
[13:07] she says yes
[13:10] okay well
[13:14] go ahead finish the ocean passes
unanimously with uh chair mitch off
[13:17] abstaining okay so so
until she comes back why don't i step in
[13:24] and we'll go on to the next item
and um unfortunately i'd ask somebody to
[13:30] read it again because
my ipad just went blank so would
[13:34] somebody please read the title of the
next
[13:36] of the next item yes the next item is
for
[13:40] this was action item 6b approval of
amendment number 2 to agreement number
[13:44] 428 with iteras
and this is also going to be presented
[13:48] by matt kelly lovely thank you
thank you vice chair ask you thank you
[13:53] jackie um so this is related to the last
item
[13:56] um it's separate approval but related um
one of the required components of the
[14:02] congestion management program
is the bi-annual monitoring of the
[14:06] system
we do feel like this is one of the best
[14:09] things we do get out of the cmp
and it is because we are able to
[14:15] do a biannual kind of assessment of the
of the
[14:19] uh cmp network which is all of our
freeways and most of our major arterials
[14:24] we try and add value to this process by
collecting
[14:28] those bike and pedestrian counts at all
the intersections in addition to the
[14:32] vehicle so we've had a running total of
bike and ped counts since 2011.
[14:37] um so that's been valuable um
this uh contract is with iteras
[14:44] um they're a california firm who has
done our
[14:48] cmp monitoring uh since 2015 so this
would be their fourth cycle
[14:53] uh the reason we thought we would be
good to bring them
[14:56] back on board this time um as opposed to
going out for a new contract is that
[15:01] uh we're hoping uh this may be one of
the last
[15:06] uh normal cmp cycles where they're
requiring
[15:10] the same type of monitoring just because
it doesn't line up with the vmt
[15:14] uh changes that the state has done so we
anytime we bring on a new consultant
[15:19] they have to kind of
re-code the entire system into the
[15:23] entire transportation network into their
monitoring system which
[15:28] takes a fair amount of effort and budget
so we thought it would uh
[15:32] be more efficient just to keep by
terrace on for one more cycle
[15:37] in addition to that they've uh they've
added a task on
[15:41] no additional cost where they're going
to prepare a
[15:45] dashboard which is kind of like right
now we're just getting a report every
[15:49] two years from this big data source that
we have access to
[15:53] developing a dashboard would give us
real-time
[15:56] live access to the data that we were
normally just
[15:59] looking at every two years so this will
allow us to have a
[16:03] website that anyone can look at staff
cities
[16:07] of general public that would um you know
show exactly what's going on in contra
[16:11] costa would allow you to look at archive
data
[16:14] would allow you to do queries of the
transportation data
[16:17] so we think um by keeping iterazon for
one more round we can you know not lose
[16:22] any of the
momentum they've built up with us over
[16:25] the years and doing this fairly routine
monitoring
[16:28] but also get some added value this time
around
[16:32] so our proposal or our staff's
recommendation
[16:36] is to uh amend uh for the second time
uh itara's contract to
[16:43] do the biennial monitoring of the
cmp network
[16:51] uh that's my presentation i can take any
questions
[16:54] and i'm back and uh there's something
wrong with my virtual background but
[16:58] that's okay
um so uh
[17:02] do we have any questions or comments for
matt
[17:09] i we voted for you karen i thank you
yeah
[17:14] from the part of the to the computer so
uh okay i'm not seeing do we have any
