• Delivering transportation projects providing
  public information and serving as a dynamic forum
  for regional planning and collaboration in the
  greater Sacramento area.

SACOG Tests the Waters

• There are diverse views throughout the SACOG
  region
• AB680 (sales tax revenue sharing legislation) was
  brought up for SACOG to take a position
• Our weighted voting required a super-majority so
  the vote ends without the SACOG board taking a
  position
• AB680 morphs into a housing bill that fails to
  pass
• This set of events creates tension on the board

10
SACOG Looks at its Weaknesses

• Not all jurisdictions were members
• Some member jurisdictions did not have a vote
• Weighted voting an inhibitor
• Regional issues had not been defined
• Fear that SACOG support will turn into mandatory
  requirements

11
SACOG Evolves

• The board is expanded to allow all member
  jurisdictions to hold a seat, and have a vote
• 6 Counties (2) 22 Cities (1) 31 seats/votes
• The voting structure is revamped and each vote
  must pass three tests
• Majority of population
• Majority of cities
• Majority of Counties

12
SACOG Evolves

• The revised structure is ratified by all existing
  members
• Outreach results in every jurisdiction becoming a
  member
• SACOG is now a truly regional body
