Cowlitz Transit Authority

Agenda — 2 items

1. SUMMARY STATEMENT:In early February, the Executive Director of the Cowlitz-Wahkiakum Council of Governments (CWCOG), which is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Cowlitz County-Rainier area, was contacted by Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to establish a commuter service to Rainier, Oregon. RCT and CWCOG staff introduced this possibility at the February CTA meeting and were directed to explore this further. RCT staff is developing a budget and sample schedule for a potential commuter bus service operating directly between the Rainier Transit Center and the Longview Transit Center. <br> <br>The Cowlitz Transit Authority bylaws Section 5.3 states that the Authority shall hold a public hearing to solicit public comment on any change in transit service routes amounting to a change in excess of 20% of the total distance of any one route. The addition of this service, contingent on federal and local funding, meets this criterion. RECOMMENDED ACTION:Establish a public hearing to be held at the April 14, 2025 CTA Board Meeting to receive comments on the potential addition of Commuter Bus Service between the Rainier Transit Center and the Longview Transit Center.
2. SUMMARY STATEMENT:In August of 2017, the Cowlitz Transit Authority (CTA) approved Resolution No. 2017-03, authorizing individuals in specific positions to approve and submit claims for payment. Exhibit A of Resolution 2017-03 must be amended to include newly elected or appointed individuals serving in the above-identified positions. Exhibit A was previously amended in March 2024. A copy of Resolution 2017-03 and the amended Exhibit A is attached. <br> <br><strong>RECOMMENDED ACTION:</strong><br>Adopt the 2025 Amendment to Resolution 2017-03 Exhibit A authorizing the positions that may approve and submit claims for payment . The amended Exhibit A will be sent to necessary parties for signature and sent to the County for their records.
