OFFICE OF CITY MANAGER, TRANSIT DIVISION January 19, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe and City Council Members FROM: Scot Wrighton, City Manager Jon Kindseth, Deputy City Manager John Williams, Mass Transit Administrator SUBJECT: Resolution Repealing R2020-183 and Authorizing Execution of an Agreement for Management and Operation of City of Decatur Public Transit Services with MV Transportation RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that this item be approved as presented. BACKGROUND: This item was discussed and ultimately the City Council approved entering into an agreement with MV for a turn-key solution on December 21, 2020. The City issued a notice to proceed to MV,while the final executable agreement was pulled together for signatures. The agreement the City Council authorized was never executed by MV. Due to a recent labor issue, between local ATU and MV, they are requesting a modification to the force majeure section of the agreement. Our legal staff has reviewed and modified their initial proposed language, and finds this modification acceptable for the City. This agreement will be retroactive to 1/1/2021, as MV as continued to provide service without interruption. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: Staff is not aware of objections,though there are more than 70 current DPTS employees impacted by this recommendation. STAFF REFERENCE: Should the City Council have any questions,they may contact Jon Kindseth at 450-2323 or jkind seth®,decaturi1.gov; John Williams at 424-3552 or jwilliams ,decaturil.gov BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: The minor language modifications do not likely have any direct financial impact on the City budget,versus previously authorized transit agreement. Attachments: Proposed Agreement (minor edits from approved agreement highlighted)
