Haysville joins WAMPO purchase of shared pedestrian counters; city to pay $5,166.59 share
Summary
Haysville agreed May 12 to participate in a Wichita-area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) program buying 10 pedestrian counters to be shared among participating jurisdictions; WAMPO covers the bulk of the cost and Haysville’s share is $5,166.59.
HAYSVILLE, Kan. — The Haysville City Council on May 12 approved entering an agreement with WAMPO (Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization) to participate in a shared purchase of 10 pedestrian counters for use by member jurisdictions.
A city presenter explained WAMPO issued a proposal and will purchase the devices using federal funding; WAMPO’s portion of the project was stated as $61,999. Each participating jurisdiction — Wichita, Sedgwick County and Haysville — would pay $5,166.59 as their share. The counters will be owned and maintained by WAMPO and can be checked out by participating cities for pedestrian or bicycle counting projects as needed.
The staff presentation said the program allows member cities to access automated pedestrian and bicycle counters without buying and maintaining the full inventory themselves. Installation and data-account setup can be handled by WAMPO or by the individual city depending on the planned use.
Council moved to approve the agreement and the motion was adopted by the council. The approval authorizes Haysville to contribute its share so the devices can be purchased and made available for local counting projects.
