Tess Lengyel, Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority, and Beth Walucas, Alameda County Congestions Management Agency, provided a handout and gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Gilmore inquired what would be the anticipated cost savings by merging agencies and what would be the anticipated start up costs, to which Ms. Lengyel responded approximately half a million per year [anticipated cost savings]. Councilmember Matarrese stated the money would not be saved but would be put in the ground [in projects]. Ms. Walucas stated the money would go to transportation investments. Councilmember Matarrese stated an added benefit would be establishing efficiencies for getting projects done more rapidly. Ms. Walucas stated two managers would not need to work on project delivery; there would be efficiencies in moving projects forward in terms of staffing and resources. Ms. Lengyel stated start-up costs are anticipated to be approximately $680,000 to $820,000 over three years. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether there would be short-term funding before the merger. Ms. Lengyel responded in the affirmative; stated SB 83 is in the State legislative process but is separate from the merger. Councilmember Tam inquired whether the short-term funding opportunity and $11 million expected to be generated through the $10 DMV fee is based on the number of cars in Alameda County; further inquired how the fund would be protected if administered by the State.
