Council authorizes ODOT intergovernmental agreement to update Lafayette's Transportation System Plan
Summary
The council authorized the mayor to execute an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation to accept a Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant for a city Transportation System Plan update; staff said consultants will be paid by the state (roughly $200,000) and the city's match will be staff time, and one councilor abstained in the roll call.
The Lafayette City Council on July 9 voted to authorize the mayor to execute an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Oregon Department of Transportation to accept a Transportation Growth Management grant and begin a Transportation System Plan (TSP) update.
Brandon explained the IGA is largely boilerplate for state TGM grants and that, when Lafayette applied roughly a year earlier, the application noted the city would provide staff time and a contract planner as the local match. "When it talks about the match, that is have already been communicated and approved as part of the grant process," Brandon said. Councilors asked about financial overages and milestone approval; staff said the state would verify milestones and typically enforces the grant ceiling.
A councilor asked whether the consultant budget had a dollar figure; a councilor stated the consultant package being paid by state funds was roughly $200,000. Councilors moved to authorize the mayor to execute the IGA; during roll call one councilor registered an abstention and the motion passed.
The IGA officially starts the TSP process and staff said it will include scopes of work and milestones to align consultant deliverables and the city's match reporting.
