Item No. 16-263
Date: June 27, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign Transit Ticket and
Pass Vendor Agreements
Responsible Department: Community Connector
Commentary:
This Order would allow staff to enter into agreements with vendors who will sell bus tickets and
monthly passes.
In February of 2015, the Community Connector stopped selling tickets and passes on buses. At
that time a vendor program was established, allowing a number of businesses to sell
Community Connector bus tickets and monthly passes to the public. These businesses entered
into agreements with the City to sell tickets and passes without being compensated for this
service.
At present, there are 22 locations that sell bus tickets and passes. Some vendors have multiple
locations. The first agreements will expire at the end of this month. This Order will allow the
City Manager or designee to sign these routine agreements on an ongoing basis, removing the
need to come back to Council every time they expire.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the June 20, 2016 Finance Committee
meeting.
