Tri.VallefTransportation Plan/Actlan Plan Update If neither of these can be done, approval of the General Plan amendment may lead to a finding of non-compliance with the Growth Management Program. Amending the Plan Amendments can be triggered by: periodic review of the plan (every two to four years); identification of TSO violations; a jurisdiction's proposal to adopt a major general plan amendment that was not considered in the existing plan; and/or a change in the major as- sumptions underlying the Plan. A change in the assumptions for Gateway Constraints would constitute the latter. This plan is based upon the assumption that major gateways into Tri-Valley will not be ex- panded beyond the capacities assumed in the Expected Network as set forth in Chapter 5. Any change in these assumptions, such as the addition of HOV lanes on 1-580 over the Altamont Pass, would require that this plan be amended to incorporate revised assumptions for the Tri~Valley gateway constraints. Increased capacity at the gateways could signifi- cantly increase projected congestion on downstream freeway sections and arterial streets. As specified in the Joint Powers Agreement governing the TVTC, amendments to the plan will require a unanimous vote of all members of the TVTC. Conflict Rosolutlon Because of the importance of support for the Plan by all members of the TVTe, the Coun- cil should act on a consensus basis. However, some cases mllY arise in which consensus cannot be reached. In cases where conflict exists between jurisdiction within one counry, resolution should be negotiated through the forum of the Congestion Management Agency for the respective county. In cases where conflict exists between jurisdictions in different counties, resolution should be negotiated through the TVTe with the provisions of the Joint Powers Agreement applying. These provisions state the following: 1. Unanimous vote of all members required for plan adoption and amendment. 2. Unanimous vote of all members required for adoption of annual work program and budget. 3. Five votes required for grant applications, expenditure of funds, execution of contractS. adoption of rules of procedure. 4. Majority vote of all members present required for action on any other matter. Page 72 18 April 2000
