Commissioners flag funding limits as transit provider seeks larger city contribution
Summary
Commissioners discussed a request from a transit provider (Access) for a larger city contribution, noted a possible $200,000+ ask next year, and agreed to seek public input before committing to new funding or a levy increase.
Commissioners recounted a recent presentation from a transit provider (referred to in the meeting as Access) that is seeking additional funding and possibly forming a task force to study service needs. One commissioner said the provider could request "200 and some thousand" next year and cautioned that the city may lack capacity to fund such a request without raising a mill levy or cutting services.
Commissioners said they would solicit public input because service decisions affect residents who rely on transit, including people with disabilities; several commissioners volunteered to participate in a task force or take part in further discussions. No formal funding decision was made at the meeting.
