A committee comprised of three members each of the Congestion Management Agency, Intergovernmental Council and the Santa Clara County Cities Association had met to discuss the subject and a draft for final amendments to be presented to the Bay Vision Commission should be available later in the month. Siegel commented on the issue of proportional representation and subregional organization. Concerning costs, he noted that the Congestion Management Agency believed that the Federal Transportation Act might pay for this kind of planning. Tryon stated that a lot of time was being spent on the issue of regional govenment and nothing else was getting done. She did not think that it was necessarily bad that big business and environmental groups were at time dissatisfied with local government. She believed it was time to get back to business. Hubbard believed it was good to refine the bill but ` questioned whether it was a justifiable venture. Was what was in place not working?
