FORA Transition Agreement Negotiating Principles

  1. RECEIVE presentation on the status of the FORA transition planning process; and 
  2. PROVIDE FEEDBACK on Transportation Agency staff negotiating principles with FORA on a Transition Implementation Agreement
- Zeller
The Fort Ord Reuse Authority currently sunsets in June 2020 and FORA staff is in the process of preparing agreements to implement their Transition Plan.  Currently, the Regional Development Impact Fee program is identified as a successor to addressing regional transportation mitigation for new development within the FORA area post-2020.  Transportation Agency staff is seeking Board policy direction on several items related to the funding of regional transportation improvements for inclusion in a transition agreement with FORA.
.
6.

RECOMMEND the Board support draft legislation regarding Federal Aviation Administration fuel sales tax.

- Watson

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) adopted a rule on aviation fuel sales taxes in 2014 that reinterpreted federal law on aviation fuel taxes. Previously, fuel excise taxes were used for airport expenses, but sales taxes were exempt from this diversion. Now, the FAA is also applying that rule to sales taxes, including local transportation sales taxes, which could decrease the amount of funding available for surface transportation projects and set a precedent for other entities to take similar action.

.
7.

DISCUSS and RECOMMEND Board adoption of Policy for Reviewing Unsolicited Proposals.

- Watson

Occasionally, TAMC receives unsolicited proposals from consultants wishing to do business with TAMC or from companies interested in public-private partnerships and/or joint development. This Policy for Reviewing Unsolicited Proposals is designed to address those situations in a manner that is fair to all and of benefit to the Agency.
