WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
Motion By: LeMair Second By: Fleming
the City Council recognizes the value of providing quality, cost-effective transit
services in the Prior Lake community; and
the City values its partnerships with Scott County and other Scott County communities:
and
in April 2004, Scott County and the communities of Prior Lake, Shakopee, Savage,
Belle Plaine, Elko, Jordan, New Market, New Prague and the Scott County HRA,
partnered to hire a consultant to develop a Unified Transit Management Plan ("UTMP")
to improve the delivery of transit services and infrastructure over the next 15 years;
and
the Unified Transit Management Plan has been completed and the Council has had
several opportunities for review; and
the City's 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan identifies objectives for transit service that
are addressed in part by the Unified Transit Management Plan; and
the City Council is concerned about relinquishing the identity, funding and governance
of a successful transit service to one that proposes a much larger model that is
unproven; and
the staff has recommended that the City first implement the service improvements of
the UTMP, and then work to develop the long-term identity, funding and governance
based upon the demand of a successful system.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA as follows:
1)
2)
The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein.
The recommendations of the Unified Transit Management Plan are hereby adopted with the
following conditions associated with its implementation:
a. The City will remain in control of the management of and funding mechanisms for, City provided
