Assembly Bill 2730, authored by Assembly Member Alejo, was vetoed by Governor Brown. A major transportation proposal stalled in the regular session but may move in the special session that is still open until the end of November. Staff will present a legislative update.

Staff has been working with the legislature and stakeholder entities on AB 2730 (Alejo): Department of Transportation: Prunedale Bypass: County of Monterey: disposition of excess properties. AB 2730 was passed through the Assembly and the Senate but was vetoed by the Governor (see attachment 1).

As presented at the September 7, 2016 Executive Committee meeting, the state legislative transportation committee chairs, Senator Beall and Assembly Member Frazier, have introduced a $7.4 billion/year transportation funding package. This is an ambitious new proposal based on months of negotiations. The package did not move during the regular session that ended on August 31, but may still be brought forward during the ongoing extraordinary session for transportation, that ends in late November. Attachment 2 is an end-of-regular-session report from TAMC's legislative consultants JEA & Associates.

Staff will present an update at the meeting.
