DISCUSSION ITEMS 7.1 STAFF REPORT: Housing Work Plan Recommended Action: Review the proposed Housing Work Plan, prioritize the proposed tasks, and direct staff to move forward with the Work Plan. Yumie Dahn, Associate Planner, and Jeff Loux, Community Development Director, presented from the Staff Report (presentation on file with the Town Clerk). 1 Town of Truckee May 23, 2017, Town Council, Regular Page 2 Council Discussion: ' • The Town can't control what the Special Districts charge in fees. It may be worth talking to the Special Districts to see their response to the idea of reduced fees or incentives. • The Town does have some pull with the Recreation and Park District and the Fire Protection District. • Educational outreach to the absent homeowners may be worth the effort in order to educate and make them aware of how acute the housing crisis in Truckee is. • There was discussion about prevailing wage, and there are only a few very specific things that are not subject to prevailing wage. AB 199 would require that any project that has any public input will require prevailing wage — but it hasn't been passed yet. The Town is maintaining awareness as it moves forward. • The consultant will have some latitude to make suggestions in regard to funding sources. • Overall this is a solid housing work plan. Mayor Goodwin opened the item for public comment. Seeing none, Mayor Goodwin closed public comment. Council Direction: • Do outreach to educate out-of-the-area homeowners about the housing crisis in the Truckee area. • Move forward with the Development Code updates and the funding source study, then prioritize the others with what the Town can directly change and affect. 7.2 STAFF REPORT: Truckee Long-Range Transit Plan Recommended Action: Provide comments on the Truckee Long Range Transit Plan and consider adopting the Plan. Dan Wilkins, Director of Public Works/Town Engineer, presented from the staff report, (presentation on file with the Town Clerk). Gordon Shaw, LSC Transportation Consultants, presented to Council (presentation on file with the Town Clerk). Council Discussion: • Questioned whether increasing parking fees would create a disincentive to private car use, which in turn may help to fund transit operations. • The new routes are a great idea. We need to look at where people will be able to park to access the bus pick-ups. • It generally takes 3 years for the public to become fully aware of transit opportunity and use. • Anecdotally, Aspen, Colorado offers free shuttle service every 10 minutes on their busiest routes however, they are more compact in service area which means that what you can do in 10 minutes in Aspen, can only be done in half an Town of Truckee May 23, 2017, Town Council, Regular Page 3 hour in Truckee. They also have parking disincentives like paid parking everywhere, plus they have been offering transit for 40 years so the ridership is 111more aware. Mammoth Lakes also offers free busses every twenty minutes through two o'clock in the morning. They get 30% of the skiers to the ski areas without private transportation. • Truckee is auto-centric and low density; which both work against public transportation. • It is unfortunate to see that transit to Reno is no part of the long range plan; it seems to be particularly overlooked. • As a general rule, after one year, ridership should be at 50% of what it will end up being. Moving forward, that number should be indicative of what your ridership would ultimately be. • The AMTRAC system is somewhere to start looking because those buses are already running, and they are practically empty. • There may be some cost savings to be had with modifying the Dial-A-Ride services. Mayor Goodwin opened the item for public comment. Jaime Wright—Truckee North Tahoe Transportation Management Association: • She sat on visioning committee. • Encouraged the Council to approve the plan set before them. • Plan is in alignment with the Council's priority to reduce greenhouse gasses. Lindsay Romack—Truckee Resident: • Next week there is a meeting between Placer County, the California Highway Patrol, and Caltrans in regard to creating a third lane on 267 for Northstar traffic. • She would like to see an extension of the service times / routes, and would love to see extended subdivision service. • Big proponent of increased evening service to get people downtown. Suzie Tarnay—Truckee Resident: • The park and ride idea is a really great, but for winter use a 5 minute walk to a pickup location would not be feasible for parents with small children. • Possibly look at parking areas that are used for summertime pool access that could be used for this type of parking during the winter months. Mayor Goodwin closed public comment. Council Direction: • Council would like to see the report come back at a later date with report numbers to include information about transit to Reno in order to round out the regional area as a whole. • Have the Town's legal department communicate with our Legislators regarding the legislation that prohibits individuals from riding the AMTRAC busses from Truckee to Reno if they did not arrive on a Train in Truckee.
