29034.6
. (a) Not later than 1991, the district shall proceed to
commence construction of an extension of its facilities to West
Pittsburg, or to a point east of that location, if the funding
described in subdivision (b) is sufficient and all of the following
occur:
(1) The voters of Contra Costa County, at the November 8, 1988,
general election, approve an additional one-half of 1 percent sales
tax for transportation purposes.
(2) An increase in San Francisco Bay area bridge tolls, as
proposed by Senate Bill No. 45 of the 1987-88 Regular Session, is
approved.
(3) Sufficient funds are provided to the district from paragraphs
(1) and (2) which, together with funds identified in subdivision (b),
would result in the generation of at least four hundred twenty-five
million dollars ($425,000,000) for the West Pittsburg BART extension.
(b) The district board of directors shall set aside at least
thirty-four million dollars ($34,000,000) from district reserve funds
and, if the district receives two hundred million dollars
($200,000,000) from the San Mateo County Transit District as a result
of an agreement between the district and the San Mateo County
Transit District, the district board of directors shall set aside at
least an additional seventy-four million dollars ($74,000,000) for
the purposes of this section. The district shall seek other funding
as may be available from state and other sources to meet the
objective of completing construction of an extension to West
Pittsburg.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the district extend
its service and facilities to eastern Contra Costa County as far as
the four hundred twenty-five million dollars ($425,000,000) funding
amount will permit.
(d) If funds generated from the additional Contra Costa County
transportation sales tax or the increase in bridge tolls do not
become available to the district, it is the intent of the Legislature
that the district proceed with service and facilities extension as
far as available funding sources permit.
