Key Takeaways

  • Replaces the Mountain House Community Services District representative with a City of Mountain House representative on the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority governing board.
  • Maintains the existing 15-member governing board structure overseeing rail connectivity between BART and Altamont Corridor Express services.
  • Requires state reimbursement to the City of Mountain House for any costs associated with this new responsibility.

Summary

Assembly Member Ransom's proposal to modify the governing board of the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority would replace Mountain House Community Services District representation with a City of Mountain House representative.

The change affects the authority's 15-member governing board, which oversees rail connectivity planning between the Bay Area Rapid Transit system and the Altamont Corridor Express commuter service. Under current law, board members represent various municipalities and transit agencies across Alameda and San Joaquin counties, including cities like Dublin, Livermore, Tracy, and Stockton, as well as regional transit operators. The proposed modification maintains the board's size while shifting representation from the special district to the municipal government level for the Mountain House community.

As the change creates new duties for the City of Mountain House, the bill establishes a state-mandated local program. The legislation includes provisions for state reimbursement of any mandated costs to local agencies, subject to review by the Commission on State Mandates and existing statutory procedures for such reimbursements.
