Title
Approval of the North Central Regional Transit District Intergovernmental Contract.
Recommended Motion
I move that Council approve the North Central Regional Transit District Intergovernmental Contract Agreement, that is an update with addition of Village of Chama to this contract thereby confirming and awarding the membership and voting rights of all the members listed in this agreement.
County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
The Village of Chama has recently joined North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD). NCRTD has requested all fifteen of its current members to execute the Intergovernmental Contract (IGC). The agreement is the fundamental link between its members and confirms the roles and responsibilities of all Members within the structure provided for under the Regional Transit District Act. The Board has consistently demonstrated the ability to form a true consensus among city, county and tribal governments throughout the region.
The success of this regional cooperation should be a point of pride for each and every member. In order to ensure that the NCRTD continues its success they request that each member take the IGC to its respective governing body, obtain approval and then return a signed copy to NCRTD. This will ensure that all fifteen members confirm their willingness to go forward with their participation in the District. In addition to confirming the membership, the 2017 IGC will make adjustments to the voting strength of the members matrix. The change includes adding a voting unit for the Village of Chama. Los Alamos voting units remain the same at three units out of a new total of 35 voting units. The voting strength analysis is attached as Appendix B.
Alternatives Council could choose not to approve this update to this contract, however, it would not allow Village of Chama to be a voting member.
