Attachment 1 is the updated list of transportation legislation as of May 9. Changes to the list since the April 26 Board meeting are indicated with underline and cross-out.

New recommended positions:

• AB 1113 (Bloom): State Transit Assistance program: MST requests TAMC support this bill that clarifies provisions governing the State Transit Assistance funding.
•  AB 1250 (Jones-Sawyer) Counties and cities: contracts for personal services. This bill requires city and county agencies to perform cost-benefit analysis and audits on contractors providing personal services. The League of California Cities, the California Chamber of Commerce, and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) all oppose this bill. Staff recommends opposing this bill.
• AB 1523 (Obernolte): San Bernardino County Transportation Authority: design-build. This bill was formerly a statewide bill enabling local agencies to use design-build procurement method for construction projects, but is now a district bill. Staff recommends changing position from support to watch.

• ACA 4 (Aguiar-Curry): Local government financing: affordable housing and public infrastructure: voter approval. This bill would authorize a local government to impose, extend, or increase a special tax for the purposes of funding public infrastructure or affordable housing, if the proposition is approved by 55% of its voters and the proposition includes specified accountability requirements. Staff recommends support.
