AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
REGULAR MEETING DATE:
June 28, 2006
AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Contract Accepting Regional Transportation Planning
Chairperson Assignment and Fiscal Responsibility for
Transportation Planning
STAFF RESPONSIBLE:
Brian Pettet
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE:
The proposed contract with the State of Colorado, on file in the Clerk and Recorder's Office,
performs three functions in relationship to the Department of Transportation's statewide
transportation planning effort.
First, it formalizes Michael C.lreland as the Chairperson of the Intermountian Regional Planning
Commission (RPC) and identifies the responsibilities ofthe position, including participation on
the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee (ST AC). Second, because the RPC does not
have federal tax identification number nor does it have accounting and administrative services,
the contract assigns fiscal responsibility to an agency that meets State accounting protocol. In
this case it is Pitkin County. Third, it assigns responsibility for the roles and responsibilities of
the chairperson of the RPC to Pitkin County.
The State will reimburse the County up to $6760.00 in this fiscal year (ending June 30, 2007) for
all activities and services related to the responsibilities of the RPC chairperson. All record
keeping will be the responsibility of the County. At some point Pitkin County will need to
address Commissioner Ireland's departure and its impact on this contractual responsibility.
RECOMMENED BOCC ACTION:
Approve resolution and sign the regional transportation-planning contract with the State of
Colorado.
