SUBJECT:
This report seeks authority to take action on acquiring representation to the Sacramento Transportation Authority Board. The STA has the authority over hundreds of millions of transportation funds.
DISCUSSION
The City is entitled to a shared seat on the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) Board pursuant to STA Resolution 2003-1182 (attached). The Isleton/Galt seat is to be held by an official "appointed by and serve during his/her term of office at the concurrent pleasure of the City Councils of the Cities of Galt and Isleton" '. Staff has discovered that the seat has not had an Isleton representative for at least ten years.
Isleton is wedged between Highway 160 and Highway 12, is proximate to Interstate 5, and is traversed by State designate truck route. The City's road and traffic facilities are in poor condition and in need of significant repair. Representation at this Board is critical to the City's street and traffic infrastructure.
In response to Isleton's recent letter to Galt about this seat, the Galt city manager initially indicated that Isleton can commence serving at the end of this year and then rotate the seat annually. Subsequently, the Galt city manager submitted a letter proposing the seat be a two- year term and that Isleton assume the role in 2025.
It is noted that neither Galt/Isleton votes count at this current time, due to no agreement has been approved for the STA Board Seat.
Separately it is recommended that the Council request the establishment of an STA Board seat for the City of Isleton.
