Alternatives Considered. (3) Justification for the proposed solution.
Alternatives Considered. This document provides descriptions of the statutory provisions that are addressed and identifies policies for implementing these provisions. Due to the prescriptive nature of the statutory provisions, no alternatives were considered.
Alternatives Considered. Rehabilitation or Replacement of the existing bridge structure in place: Any localized remediation to the existing bridge foundations would only be a temporary fix due to the effects of river scour, expending maintenance funding and pushing back the inevitable need for long term replacement. It is not practical to attempt to replace the bridge foundations while the bridge remains in operational service. Closure of the bridge to perform construction work would require a suspension in railroad operations throughout this portion of the Orange Subdivision for a period of two years, severely impacting both passenger and freight services. Next Steps Upon Board Authorization, this Cooperative Agreement will be executed by both parties.

Alternatives Considered. There is no alternative to the proposal to execute the C&M Agreement with Caltrans. Caltrans proposes to widen SR-55 to improve capacity and traffic flow throughout the location and so the Authority needs to provide railroad protection support services to ensure continued safe operation throughout the construction period. The Cooperative Agreement with OCTA provides up-front funding to the Authority to ensure that the Authority does not draw down on its own operational funds before being compensated for the services by Caltrans. The alternative would be for the Authority not to execute the Agreement and to use operating funds prior to Caltrans reimbursement.
Alternatives Considered. The PMC and industry members discussed different alternatives to this action at the PMC’s April 3, 2003, meeting. The PMC discussed the possibility of amending the marketing order provisions relating to reserve and producer diversion programs but decided to eliminate the prune reserve and producer diversion provisions from the order and administrative rules and regulations in a more timely fashion. During the suspension, the industry will have the opportunity to consider possible order amendments to the volume control provisions. Another alternative was to terminate the marketing order. Many on the PMC and in the industry deemed termination too drastic an action and preferred to preserve the marketing order and make necessary changes to it to meet current industry needs and to reflect current industry marketing practices. In accordance with the Paperwork industry and all interested persons were invited to attend the meeting and participate in the industry’s deliberations. Like all PMC meetings, this meeting was a public meeting and all entities, both large and small, were able to express their views on these issues. An interim final rule concerning this action was published in the Federal Register on July 9, 2003. The PMC’s staff mailed copies of the rule to all PMC members, alternates, and prune handlers. In addition, the rule was made available through the Internet by the Office of the Federal Register and USDA. That rule provided for a 60-day comment period which ended on September 8, 2003. No comments were received. A small business guide on complying with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop marketing agreements and orders may be viewed at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxx/ fv/moab.html. Any questions about the compliance guide should be sent to Xxx Xxxxxxx at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. After consideration of all relevant material presented, including the PMC’s recommendation, and other information, it is found that finalizing the interim final rule, without change, as published in the Federal Register (68 FR 40754, July 9, 2003) will tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act.

Alternatives Considered. The Project is a mixed-use development project and not specifically a transportation project, although it includes mitigation measures and public benefits that are transportation- related. Alternatives to the Project were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report.
Alternatives Considered. (Section 4)
Alternatives Considered. LADWP considered options to the agreement, such as terminating the agreement and auctioning off the current area used by the Licensee. However, this option was not determined to be viable as the SoCal Gas is a utility provider serving the neighboring community and has used the area for a gas compressor station for over 20 years. With regard to the “holdover”, the Department reports that there has not been an opportunity to renew the agreement due to limited staffing and resources. The proposed new license agreement (Attachment) will replace the existing agreement and allow SoCal Gas to continue using and occupying space at Xxx Xxxxxx under a long-term, 30-year license. LADWP does not currently utilize the area and the use of the property will not interfere with the Department’s current operations or future needs. The rent of $31,265 to be paid by SoCal Gas during the first year of the proposed agreement represents a 97 percent increase from the annual rent of $15,840 under the existing license. Our Office has reviewed the Board’s request and agreement and recommends approval.
Alternatives Considered. The option to discontinue payments for fees and access to spare parts to keep the paystations operational while the new paystations are procured was rejected because metered parking is necessary to maximize parking availability, mitigate traffic to transit’s benefit, and continue the current revenue stream from on-street parking and lot usage. FUNDING IMPACT Funds required for fees, services and parts for the new agreement will be paid through SFMTA’s operational budget. The proposed budget is in Table 3. Yearly costs in the maintenance agreement will decrease as new meter equipment is installed TABLE 3 – Projected Paystation Budget Contract Year 1 2 3 TOTALS Credit Card Transaction Fees $ 86,400 $ 64,800 $ 43,200 $ 194,400 Communication Fees $ 14,746 $ 11,059 $ 7,373 $ 33,178 Meter Management System Fees $ 174,336 $ 130,752 $ 87,168 $ 392,256 Spare Parts $ 361,956 $ 271,467 $ 180,978 $ 814,401 $ 637,438 $ 478,078 $ 318,719 *$ 1,434,235 *Port budget is 1% of total budget. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW On March 22, 2021, the SFMTA, under authority delegated by the Planning Department, determined that the Parking Paystation Maintenance Agreement is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Sections 15060(c) and 15378(b). A copy of the CEQA determination is on file with the Secretary to the SFMTA Board of Directors and is incorporated herein by reference.
