Committee forwards WSDOT fiber interagency agreement extension to council; no cost to city
Summary
Staff asked the committee to authorize a five-year extension of an interagency agreement with WSDOT to share fiber optic infrastructure and real-time traffic data; the committee forwarded the amendment to the council consent agenda with no city cost reported.
City staff asked the committee to extend an existing interagency agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation to continue sharing fiber-optic cable and real-time traffic information between I‑5 and the city's traffic system.
A staff presenter explained the original agreement funded construction of a fiber optic connection between the state system on I‑5 and the city's traffic control system at City Hall. The proposed amendment extends the agreement for another five years (to 2030 in the presentation) and keeps joint maintenance responsibilities in place. Staff stated there is no cost to the city for the amendment and that both agencies share maintenance duties.
Committee members had no substantive questions and moved to forward the interagency agreement amendment to the City Council consent agenda for approval.
