Commission approves amended transit administrative agreement with Waukesha County, staff warns of smaller scope
Summary
The commission approved an amendment reducing the scope and fee for the city's administrative services to Waukesha County as commuter routes ended; staff said the next-year fee was negotiated to about $96,000 with a further reduction to about $91,574 tied to reduced reporting, and stressed the amendment preserves county capital‑fund access for corridor projects.
The Waukesha City Transit Commission voted to approve an amended intergovernmental agreement under which the city provides administrative transit services to Waukesha County.
Staff explained the scope of county work will shrink substantially after commuter routes ended in September, reducing the number of contracts the city will manage. Brian told the commission the negotiated fee for the next year would be roughly $96,000 and that additional reductions tied to reporting and audit work would lower the fee to about $91,574. He said neither side would be entirely satisfied but described the arrangement as a fair settlement given the reduced workload.
Brian also explained the broader reason to maintain the administrative relationship: continued access to certain county federal capital funds that support corridor projects. He said the county has about $700,000 in federal funds available for corridor‑related replacements and that the county has allowed the city to utilize those funds for bus and equipment replacement and related projects in the Blue Mound Road corridor.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the unused capital funds and how they could be spent; staff said the funds must be related to service in the Blue Mound Road corridor and that access to those dollars helps the city’s capital position. A motion to approve the amendment was moved and seconded and carried on recorded affirmations in the meeting.
