Concord Seeks Representative For Transportation Advisory Committee

CONCORD, CA — The Concord City Council announced a recruitment Tuesday for the City of Concord’s representative on the Contra Costa Transportation Authority — Citizens Advisory Committee.

The Council is seeking to fill one opening for a four-year term ending in 2025. The deadline for receipt of applications by the City Clerk is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8.

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority maintains the Citizens Advisory Committee to provide citizen perspective, participation, and involvement in the CCTA’s $3 billion voter-approved Transportation Expenditure Plan and Growth Management Program. The CAC is comprised of 23 members: 20 are appointed by each of the 20 local jurisdictions within Contra Costa County (the cities, towns, and the County), and three “at-large” members appointed by CCTA who shall reflect community and business organizations and interests within Contra Costa County (for example, a Contra Costa resident interested in bicycling issues, or a resident with environmental concerns). Members shall not serve in a representative capacity with respect to their appointing authorities (in this case, CCTA) or any specific organization.

Meetings are scheduled for 6 p.m. the fourth Wednesday of each month at the CCTA office at 2999 Oak Road, Suite 110 in Walnut Creek (directly across the street from the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART Station). CAC members are appointed to serve for a four-year term without compensation. Members will, however, receive reimbursement for travel expenses to and from the CAC meetings if they have completed Ethics training and Sexual Harassment Prevention training and have a current certification on file with CCTA staff. CCTA staff will provide the resources to complete these trainings.

Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700: In accordance with CCTA’s adopted Conflict of Interest Code, PCC members are required to file an FPPC Assuming Office Form 700 – Statement of Economic Interests with the Authority. Form 700 statements are due within 30 days of assuming office and leaving office, and annually by April 1.
