Item No. -17-016
Date: November 28, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the City Manager to Sign College Pass Agreements
Responsible Department: Community Connector
Commentary:
This Order would allow the City Manager to enter into agreements with area colleges and
universities to allow their students and staff to ride the Community Connector by showing a
college identification card.
The Community Connector has traditionally arranged with local colleges and universities, such
as the University of Maine in Orono and Augusta (Bangor campus), Eastern Maine Community
College, and Husson University, to allow their students and staff to ride the Community
Connector for free by showing a valid college identification card. In return, the college or
university pays one or more lump sum payments.
This Order will allow the City Manager to sign these routine agreements on an ongoing basis,
removing the need to come back to Council every time they expire. This item was reviewed
and recommended for approval at the November 21, 2016 Government Operations Committee.
