Plan Implementation, Monitoring, and Review 2. Propose modification to the Action Plan that will prevent the General Plan amend- ment from adversely affecting the regional transportation network. 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 _ assumptions underlying the Plan. A change in the assumptions for Gateway Con- straints would constitute the latter. This plan is based upon the assumption that major gateways into Tri-Valley will not be expanded 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 mended to incorporate revised assumptions for the Tri-Valley gateway constraints. Increased capacity at the gateways could significantly 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 Resolution - Because of the importance of support for the Plan by all members of the TVTC, the Council should act on a consensus basis. However, some cases may arise in which consensus cannot be reached. In cases where conflict exists between jurisdictions within one county, resolution should be negotiated through the forum of the Conges- tion Management Agency for the respective county. In cases where conflict exists between jurisdictions in different counties, resolution should be negotiated through the TVTC 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 nmenament. 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. Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 238
