El Dorado County Transportation Commission.

Existing law requires the Director of Transportation to designate a transportation planning agency in each county for the purpose of allocating funds in the local transportation fund derived from 14 of 1% of the sales tax, pursuant to the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act, also known as the Transportation Development Act, and for other related transportation purposes. Existing law creates the El Dorado County Transportation Planning Agency, also known as the El Dorado County Transportation Commission, as the transportation planning agency in the portion of El Dorado County outside of the Tahoe Basin. Existing law provides that the agency is composed of 6 members, with 3 members appointed by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and 3 members appointed by the city council of the City of Placerville. This bill would instead provide for the agency to be comprised of 4 members appointed by the board of supervisors and 2 members appointed by each incorporated city in the portion of El Dorado County outside of the Tahoe Basin. However, if there is only one incorporated city, that city would appoint 3 members. Because the bill would impose additional duties on local agencies, it would thereby impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
