MPO delays vote on interlocal agreement to buy traffic‑counting supplies until more signatories present
Summary
The APC described a plan to buy traffic-counting tubing and counters, fund 80% centrally with jurisdictions paying 20% match, and to transfer equipment to jurisdictions after five years; the committee deferred signatures because several signatories were absent.
Tim (APC staff) presented an interlocal agreement for purchasing traffic-counting equipment and supplies and asked the MPO Policy Board for guidance on executing signatures.
Tim said the APC will solicit counts and tubing needs from local jurisdictions, pay roughly 80% of equipment costs up front and require a 20% local match. The agreement uses tubing laid across roadways for traffic counts plus small supplies, and APC ownership would transfer to local jurisdictions after five years. Tim described the agreement as similar to a 2018 procurement and said local engineers have quoted quantities and costs.
Because several signatories were not present, board members advised waiting to finalize signatures. One board member said staff could purchase the supplies now and complete paperwork later, and Tim confirmed quotes have been obtained and the item will remain on next month’s agenda for formal approval.
No formal vote was taken; staff said they will circulate materials, keep the item on the next agenda and can brief county councilors if jurisdictions want further information.
