Background C /CAG was established through a joint powers agreement between the twenty cities within San Mateo County and the County of San Mateo. Its purpose is to provide a cooperative, cost - effective means of responding to Countywide planning mandates from the State.

The City's C /CAG representatives are Vice Mayor Jeff Ira, who serves on the C /CAG Board of Directors, Mayor Richard Claire, who is a member of C /CAG's Congestion Management Plan subcommittee, and City Engineer Jon Lynch, who serves on the Technical Advisory Committee. An evaluation of the role, function and performance of C /CAG was performed by the C /CAG Board. Based on the results of this evaluation of C /CAG, the Board unanimously recommends the continuation of C /CAG. C /CAG was founded in 1991 and renewed in 1995 and 1999. The agreement has to be renewed every 4 years. The current Joint Powers Agreement creating C /CAG expires on December 1, 2003. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a new joint powers agreement to continue C /CAG. The role of C /CAG is as follows: 1. Act as Program Manager for Congestion Management Plan (CMA) Transportation funds (state and federal) and Air Quality funds (AB434/TFCA). 2.
