Dear Chairs McKenna and Faaness:
On behalf of the Campbell City Council, I am responding to your letter of
February 8 regazding the proposed structure for a Santa Clara County
Congestion Management Agency. The Campbell City Council considered this
proposal at its meeting of March 20, 1990. The Council appreciates the
significant effort that went into developing this joint proposal. As you
are aware, we have previously been concerned about an appropriate
communication and consensus building process regarding this issue. We
believe that great strides have been made over the last several weeks to
have such a dialogue. This process must continue in order to build an
appropriate consensus regarding this very significant issue. While not
completely satisfied with many elements of the proposal, the Campbell City
Council can support the proposed "joint proposal" if several significant
remaining issues can be addressed.
The position of the Council on this issue is as follows:
o Whatever mechanism is developed should emphasize eazly communication
and consensus building between affected jurisdictions prior to formal
deliberations/decision-making regarding proposed projects.
o While not completely satisfied with the suggested voting structure,
the City will no longer oppose the proposed voting structure,
recognizing that amendmeAts•have been made partially addressing
Campbell's concerns.
o If Proposition 111 is not successful, the role and responsibilities of
the proposed agency should be completely re-evaluated recognizing that
the currently suggested roles and responsibilities are modeled after
an assumed legislative mandate and were not specifically designed to
create an appropriate organizational structure and process for Santa
Clara County and its cities-

o If Proposition 111 is not successful, the assumed funding source for
this new "Congestion Management Agency" will not be available. We are
concerned that since the administrative costs associated with the
proposed agency have not as of yet been identified, that substantial
costs for operating the agency could be shifted to cities possibly
requiring the allocation of General F1ind revenues. Our support of the
concept should in no way be considered a commitment of existing City
resources to as yet undefined operating costs.
o A procedure for amendment/abolishment of the Agency should be included
in the proposal.
With the appropriate resolution of these remaining questions, I feel
confident that a strong county-wide consensus regarding the creation of a
Congestion Management Agency can be achieved. I look forward to hearing
from you in the near future regarding these issues.
Sincerely,
