Contact Name and Phone Number: Angelina Soper, (559) 713-4591, Angelina.Soper@Visalia.City
Department Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Tulare County Regional Transit Agency to provide grant management functions on behalf of the Tulare County Regional Transit Agency to support so that Visalia may continue providing grant management support to the City of Tulare.
Background Discussion:
The City of Visalia has provided grant management support to the City of Tulare since 2013. In August of 2020, the Regional Transit JPA was formed as the Tulare County Regional Transit Agency or TCRTA. In July of 2021, the City of Tulare officially moved their Transit services over to the responsibility of the TCRTA. This agreement is necessary in order to replace the existing agreement between the City of Visalia and the City of Tulare so the City of Visalia can continue providing grant management responsibilities on behalf of the City of Tulare. The City of Visalia's role in this agreement will be to continue supporting the grant management functions as they relate specifically to The City of Tulare. This is not an agreement that will support the City of Visalia handling grant management functions on the behalf of the TCRTA as a whole.
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Visalia will continue to receive compensation for the grant management responsibilities it provides at the actual cost of staff time spent.
Prior Council Action: Council approved original City of Tulare MOU in 2013.
