Consent Agenda
a. Minutes of the September 12, 2019 Meeting b. Appointment to the CCTA Vision Zero Working Group c. Appointment to the CCTA Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan Study TAC
On motion by Director Haskew, seconded by Director Pierce to adopt the Consent Agenda, as submitted. The motion was adopted by unanimous vote of the members present (Noack, Obringer, Pierce, Haskew, Ross, Mitchoff). Commissioner Pierce requested the format of the minutes be reviewed to ensure they are meeting requirements to note the members present and the votes of all members. 6. TRANSPAC Strategic Planning Discussion Implementation Plan Chairperson Noack introduced the item. Mr. Todd referenced the Summary of the TRANSPAC Strategic Planning Discussion included in the agenda material and that the TAC reviewed Proposed Action Items to move TRANSPAC forward regarding the priorities identified. Strategic planning themes that emerged throughout the discussion included priority projects, regionally significant corridors and schools, and how to work better to improve transportation to schools. The discussion at the TAC centered around the proposed action items and what can be done to work on these themes, how to prioritize these themes and to start building up partnerships. Mr. Todd reviewed the corridors theme as an initial priority item. He noted the discussion included identifying priorities through a CIP process and identifying projects goals as short, medium and long term. He noted that the Ygnacio Valley Road/Treat corridor continues to come up and would be a priority corridor. It was discussed that TRANSPAC agencies should work with CCTA as they have an interest in this corridor related to the Innovate 680 Project. It was noted that we could start by making a formal request to CCTA for assistance in developing improvement plans for the corridor, starting with a joint Concord/Walnut Creek staff meeting to discuss the project, and ultimately pursue grants. The City of Concord is also putting together a grant application for a small arterial program for a segment of Ygnacio Valley Road.
Page 6
Abhishek Parikh said the application is due next week. He said the City is also proposing local funds as part of that proposal. Commissioner Pierce suggested that Walnut Creek and Concord should work together the Ygnacio corridor. Mr. Todd next covered the school themed discussion and the proposed focus on regionally significant projects that benefit traveling on major corridors. Capital and operational projects should be included in the process. As part of the regional coordination, Mr. Todd covered the discussion to date regarding school district participation in a TRANSPAC meeting. Topics could include improving relationships and trip patterns of the school based trips. Commissioner Mitchoff suggested inviting the new superintendent to a TRANSPAC meeting. Chair Noack said she will be meeting with him on October 23rd. Carlyn Obringer said she will be reaching out to the new superintendent for a meeting. Chair Noack suggested inviting the President of Diablo Valley College (DVC) as well. It was noted that DVC trips are a huge contributor to congestion. Ms. Mitchoff commended Pleasant Hill for the major traffic improvements they have made in the DVC area. She noted the valet parking that DVC is now offering, so students can drop off their cars and get to class and the crosswalk has also been very helpful. Mr. Todd reviewed the discussion to date regarding coordination with our subregional neighbors, TRANSPLAN and SWAT. Items of interest that could be discussed with TRANSPLAN included the Concord Naval Weapons Station and the Highway 4 Corridor (including parallel arterial routes). Items of interest identified for SWAT included the 680 Corridor, Taylor/Pleasant Hill Road Corridor, the Iron Horse Trail Corridor, and school bus pass programs. It was noted that SWAT has been discussing bus pass programs and that Bill Churchill of County Connections talked about the bus pass program at the last TAC meeting. Commissioner Mitchoff raised the “Spare the Air” program, and that it does not seem to have the impact it did in the past. She noted there used to be financial incentives for people to take other modes of transportation that are no longer provided. Commissioner Pierce stated that people used to be able to get a free bus bass on those days. Commissioner Ross noted he was a supporter of fare free BART on those days, and suggested incentives for carpools. Mr. Todd also noted that looking ahead, TRANSPAC will need to look at the SB743/action plans issues in the future. Commissioner Pierce recommended adding a cover page to the agenda items in the packet to help the public better understand the contents. Commissioner Mitchoff added that it would be helpful to notate after each item whether it is an action item or a discussion item.

TRANSPAC Board Meeting STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: November 14, 2019
Subject: MEASURE J LINE 20A FUNDS PROGRAM - WALNUT CREEK SENIOR MINI BUS PROGRAM FUNDING
Summary of Issues Recommendations Financial Implications Options Attachment(s)
The CCTA Measure J line 20a program provides funds for Transportation Services for Seniors & People with Disabilities in the TRANSPAC area. TRANSPAC is responsible for recommendations on how the Line Item 20a funds are to be used. The City of Walnut Creek is requesting Line 20a funds for the Senior Mini Bus program project. Through the last grant cycle (providing funding for operations through June 30, 2020), the City included a new supplemental transportation network company (TNC) trip component to the program, providing an option for seniors to make evenings or weekend trips. The TNC component of the program has been successful with an increasing trend in use and ridership levels of almost 4 times of initial projections. The City is requesting an additional Line 20a funds to offset the additional costs of the TNC component of the Walnut Creek Senior Transportation program. Approve the programming of $40,000 of Measure J Line 20A funds to the City of Walnut Creek Senior Mini Bus Program. TRANSPAC is responsible for recommendations on how the Line Item 20a funds are to be used in Central County. There are sufficient funds in the program balance to accommodate the funding request. The programming request will reduce the amount of carryover balance of CCTA Line Item 20A funds in the next 2 year programming cycle (call for projects for the next cycle to occur in the first part of 2020). The TRANSPAC Board could direct staff or City of Walnut Creek to consider other options for securing audit services. A. Measure J Line 20A Program – Fund Estimate (Approved

Background The Measure J Expenditure Plan includes a program, line 15: Transportation for Seniors & People with Disabilities. The name generally self-describes the activities that the program funds. There is an additional program in Measure J, line 20a: Additional Transportation Services for Seniors & People with Disabilities, which provides the TRANSPAC area an additional 0.5% for these types of services (approximately $450,000 per year). TRANSPAC is responsible for recommendations on how the Line Item 20a funds are to be used. The City of Walnut Creek is requesting Measure J Line 20a funds for the Senior Mini Bus program project. In the last funding cycle, 2 years of program funding approved in Spring 2018, TRANSPAC approved $157,000 of Measure J Line 20a funds for the City of Walnut Creek to provide the Senior Mini Bus, a door-to-door program for members of the Walnut Creek Seniors Club and participants with developmental disabilities for the FY 2018/2019 and FY 2019/2020. The program provides rides anywhere within the City of Walnut Creek with most common destinations being medical appointments, trips to the grocery store/errands, other activities and to the Civic Park Community Center/Walnut Creek senior center. Through the last grant cycle (providing funding for operations through June 30, 2020), the City of Walnut Creek included a new supplemental transportation network company (TNC) trip component to the program, providing an option for seniors to make evenings or weekend trips, including $20,000 of the aforementioned grant funds to support this new pilot component of the program. Overall, the city has maintained ridership on the Mini Bus program. The TNC component of the program has been successful with an increasing trend in use over the initial 15 months of service and ridership levels of almost 4 times that projected in the application. Initial projections estimated about 800 TNC rides a year, with the actual rides provided in FY 2018/2019 at almost 3,200. The City is requesting an additional $40,000 of Measure J Line 20a funds to offset the additional costs of the TNC component of the Walnut Creek Senior Transportation program. The TAC discussed the Walnut Creek program and TNC services and how they will supplement transportation services now and in the future for transportation for seniors and people with disabilities. TRANSPAC TAC discussion included policies that could further prioritize trips on the Walnut Creek TNC program component, to get to a well used and sustainable program. The service fare structure was discussed and that the City could consider a fare contribution from the rider. The City discussed program administration challenges they have been reviewing regarding how to implement that. It was also discussed that the current policies require that a passenger initially request a mini bus ride prior to consideration for a TNC ride, but there are not limitations on rides per month on the TNC aspect of the program. The TRANSPAC TAC also discussed the Line 20A program in general, and the need to review pilot program information for TNCs when we consider the next programming cycle. The TRANSPAC TAC recommended the Board approve the requested funding.

TRANSPAC
Approved December 7, 2017
Measure J Line 20a Program - Fund Estimate
TRANSPAC has $1,072,802 of unallocated Measure J line 20a funds projected through June 30, 2018, and another $880,000 of funds projected to become available in the following two fiscal years, resulting in a total of $1,952,802.
It is proposed to identify the following levels of funding for the use of the projected Measure J Line 20a funds projected through June 30, 2020.
• $880,000 of funds available for operations type projects in FY 18/19 and FY 19/20o Represents 2 years of new revenueo About $725,000 approved for programs in last two year cycle.o Assuming Measure J revenue collections are not reduced, provides for a sustainable
level of programming
For the remaining funds, it is proposed:
• $500,000 for Cash Flow Reserve (represents about 110% of annual revenue)o Will provide “cash flow” balance to approve 2 year program cycleso May need to adjust in future years based on annual revenue levelo Upon exhaustion of fund balances below, could still be used in certain circumstances to
provide programming for unforeseen off cycle requests• $270,000 for Operations Programming Reserve (represents about 30% of new two year
programming capacity)o Provides funds to maintain program operations funding levels in the event of an
economic downturno This level of funds represents the amount of the additional Contra Costa transportation
sales tax revenue that would have been devoted to the Line 20a program, but was notcollected, due to the economic downturn starting in FY 2007/2008
o Could be used provide programming capacity for unforeseen off cycle requests• $300,000 Capital Fund
o Propose to fund capital requests from this portion of the program fundso Allows for a higher level of funding to operational projects in the near futureo Over the life of the program, capital requests have received less than 5% of overall Line
20a programmingo Upon exhaustion of the funds, will need to evaluate, including:
Strategy to identify additional funds for capital projects, and/or Revise programming strategy for how to address capital requests
Staff suggests revaluating these fund levels upon completion of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 programming cycle. At that point, TRANSPAC will have just evaluated a set of program requests and the Board may want to consider adjustments regarding unprogrammed funds and how to structure and proceed with remaining unprogrammed funds.

*Minibus expenses include $21,600 vehicle maintenance IDT and replacement fund, approx. $64,500 in staff overhead and program supplies and marketing. Staff time is used to manage the program, coordinate volunteer drivers and volunteer dispatch, as well as assist seniors in understanding and using the program. Lyft expenses include payment to Lyft for rides only. If Lyft were to continue without Minibus, there would need to be an increase in Lyft expenses by $64,000 to account for staff overhead/program supplies and marketing.
Separately, TRANSPAC fully funded the purchase of an electric vehicle with a capital grant of $38,000.**City of Walnut Creek has paid the balance even though the City only planned for an $8,000 per year contribution towards the program from

TRANSPAC Board Meeting STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: November 14, 2019
Subject: TRANSPAC WORK PLAN, CONTRACTED SERVICES FOR MANAGING DIRECTOR, AND SECRETARY/CLERK OF THE BOARD SERVICES, AND BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019/2020
Summary of Issues Recommendations Financial Implications Options
The TRANSPAC Bylaws specify the Board shall appoint a Managing Director to administer the day-to-day activities of TRANSPAC and adopt a budget that includes operational expenses and the proportional amount each agency will be required to pay. The Board deferred the actions on the work plan/budget/contracts until this time to devote time to discuss, evaluate and agree upon a new set strategies for TRANSPAC. The Board is requested to consider the FY 2019/2020 work plan that has factored in the latest strategic planning discussions, the contracts for the Managing Director and Clerk of the Board, and the budget. A. Approve the TRANSPAC DRAFT 2019 / 2020 Work Plan. B. Consider approval of a proposal for providing Managing
Director and Clerk of the Board services. C. Consider approval of a FY 2019/2020 TRANSPAC Budget,
based upon the proposal for Managing Director and Clerk of the Board proposals approved in the aforementioned recommendation B.
The costs associated with the Managing Director and Clerk of the Board services will directly impact the level of funds required, including member contributions, to be included in the TRANSPAC FY 2019/2020 Budget. The method to determine the proportional amount each agency would be required to pay of any member contribution would be based on the information specified in the TRANSPAC JPA. Options include: • Direct staff to modify the workplan. • Request revisions to proposals for service • Recommendations A and B can be considered independently,
though any action regarding recommendation C would be based on the result of recommendations A and B

Background The TRANSPAC Bylaws specify the Board shall appoint a Managing Director to administer the day-to-day activities of TRANSPAC and report to the Board, and that TRANSPAC shall adopt a budget that includes operational expenses and the proportional amount each agency will be required to pay. In spring 2019, TRANSPAC initiated the process to review the work plan/budget/contracts for the upcoming year. Through that discussion, it was decided to devote additional time to review the work that TRANSPAC has been focusing on, and how the Board wanted to proceed in future. The Board deferred the actions on the work plan/budget/contracts. TRANSPAC conducted a series of meetings though the summer to focus on Strategic Planning for TRANSPAC, including defining priority issues for TRANSPAC and actions to move forward on the priorities, with that effort concluded in October 2019. The Board is now requested to consider the following information related to the work plan/budget/contracts for FY 2019/2020. Work Plan TRANSPAC considers the annual work plan in conjunction with review of an annual budget. The work plan is based on the recent discussion and identified priorities, as well as some items that TRANSPAC would perform in any event (i.e. Measure J Line 20a programming cycle). The workplan priority tasks are also intended to be evaluated on an annual basis to allow for the affirmation or revision of priorities. Included in the attached material is a proposed FY 2019/2020 work plan. Managing Director and Clerk of the Board Gray Bowen Scott (GBS) was selected to perform the Managing Director duties in late 2016, through a procurement process, with options for TRANSPAC to extend the contract on an annual basis. TRANSPAC had a separate contract to provide Clerk of the Board services with Anita L. Tucci-Smith, LLC., who declined to continue on as the Clerk of the Board into FY 2019/2020. The strategic planning discussion resulted in items for TRANSPAC to focus on and actions to move them forward. At the October TRANSPAC meeting, GBS was requested to submit a proposal for providing the Managing Director services, as well as a proposal to provide the Managing Director and Clerk of the Board services in a combined contract. For a combined Managing Director / Clerk of the Board contract, GBS is proposing to continue to have Matt Todd serve in the Managing Director Role, as well as an additional GBS staff
Page 18
person that would serve in the role of Clerk of the Board. GBS has identified an individual with experience with regional transportation agencies (i.e. congestion management agencies) and public boards / meetings. The proposal assumes benefits of having the Managing Director and Clerk both working from the same location, and that the individual proposed to perform the Clerk of the Board position has the ability to assist in preparing agenda items and coordinating and assisting with program administration (i.e. line 20a program tasks), as well as the traditional Clerk of the Board tasks such as coordination with Board members, meeting minutes, form 700 process, and packet preparation. The proposal considers the tasks included in the proposed work plan for FY 2019/2020 and the Managing Director position completing the tasks required in the work plan as well as billing rates escalated to the current year. GBS has also included a proposal to continue only the Managing Director role. It includes the same work plan as the combined proposal, with additional scope to bring on board a new Clerk of the Board as a stand alone contract, and assumption of hours for on boarding, training and initial year coordination. A stand alone Clerk of the Board contract involves multiple unknown factors that may require adjustment to assumptions of scope required once the individual is identified. Information in the table below includes some assumptions for scope and hours. TRANSPAC Managing Director and Clerk Services Summary
FY 17/18 FY 18/19 FY 19/20 PROPOSAL OPTIONS Managing Director $135,000 $135,000 * $172,000 ** Clerk of the Board $69,000 $75,000 TBD *** Combined Managing Director/Clerk of Board Contract
$230,000
Total $204,000 $210,000 $230,000 TBD * Budget was identified at $135,000 with only about $122,000 expended. This was based on focusing efforts on a minimum required tasks and resulted in utilizing reduced hours for TRANSPAC during the Board review of Managing Director service contract at the end of FY 2018/2019. The remaining budget capacity was used to offset Managing Director service costs in the initial part of FY 2019/2020. ** Assumes increased hours need to coordinate with new Clerk of the Board. *** This cost would be based on procuring a new contract for Clerk of the Board services. Assuming the same number of hours as the contract for the Clerk of the Board in FY 18/19, and a billing rate of $100-$125 per hour translate to $100,000 to $125,000 range. **** For the Managing Director line and the Combined Managing Director/Clerk of Board Contract lines, expenses already incurred through FY 19/20 have been assumed. FY 2019/2020 TRANSPAC Budget The approved FY 2018/2019 budget is included as an attachment for your information. The FY 2019/2020 budget is expected to be similar to the previous year, with any variances to be from the Managing Director and Clerk of the Board position contracts. Staff will provide additional information at the meeting regarding a FY 2019/2020 budget based on the result of the Managing Director and Clerk of the Board position contracts. Additional information will be available at the meeting.

TRANSPAC Board Meeting STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: November 14, 2019
Subject: APPROVE AUDIT SERVICES CONTRACT FOR FY 2018/2019 AND FY 2019/2020
Summary of Issues Recommendations Financial Implications Options Attachment(s)
The TRANSPAC JPA specifies that an independent audit is to be made by a certified public accountant to assure compliance with requirements of Government Code Section 6505 regarding the strict accountability of all funds. Based on the estimated value of work of under $5,000 annually, staff worked with the City of Pleasant Hill Finance director to identify three accounting firms located in the TRANSPAC subregion and requested proposals for the TRANSPAC financial reviews and audit (services). Two of the firms declined to submit a proposal due to the relatively small scale of the TRANSPAC JPA audit work required. Cropper Accountancy Corporation submitted a proposal. Cropper Accountancy Corporation completed the FYs 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 financial reviews and audit (services) for TRANSPAC. Award the TRANSPAC JPA financial reviews and audit (services) contract to Cropper Accountancy Corporation. The proposed contract terms would require $4,250 to be identified annually in the TRANSPAC Budget through FY 2020/2021, with options to extend the services, at the same cost, for up to an additional three years. The TRANSPAC Board could direct staff to consider other options for securing audit services. A. Request for Proposal Cover Letter B. TRANSPAC / Cropper Accountancy Corporation Agreement
(with Letter of Engagement Attached)
Background The TRANSPAC JPA specifies that an independent audit is to be made by a certified public accountant to assure compliance with requirements of Government Code Section 6505 regarding the strict accountability of all funds. The TRANSPAC Bylaws call for the audit to be submitted to the member agencies by January 1st after the close of the fiscal year. Cropper
Page 29
Accountancy Corporation completed the FYs 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 audit for TRANSPAC last year through a one-year agreement.
Based on the discussion at TRANSPAC in early 2019, the estimated value of work for the contract was identified to be under $5,000 annually and it was recommended to use an “informal” procurement process. Staff collected information on accounting firms used by other JPAs in the area (i.e. TVTC, ECCRFFA, WCCTAC) and also worked with the City of Pleasant Hill Finance director to identify three accounting firms located in the TRANSPAC subregion: Cropper Accountancy Corporation, Maze and Associates, and RINA Accountants and Advisors. Staff transmitted the Request for Proposal for Audit Services material to the three firms as well as following up with direct calls. Two of the firms declined to submit a proposal due to the relatively small scale of the TRANSPAC JPA financial reviews and audit (services) contract work required. Cropper Accountancy Corporation submitted a proposal. The Cropper Accountancy Corporation fee for the FYs 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 audit services was $8,500, the same yearly average cost as proposed in the new contract of $4, 250 annually. The contract, scope of work, and Letter of Engagement are included in the attached material. The contract includes services for the next two-year period, with a TRANSPAC option to extend the period for up to three additional one-year periods. The cost for this work would be included in the audit services budget line item in future years budgets.
