Councilmember Ashby said the PRTPO has had Washington State Department of Transportation as
their Iead planning agency but were notified last April that they would no longer do so. After a
selection process, the PRTPO board passed two resolutions; one which designated Kitsap Transit as
their lead planning agency; and the second designating Jefferson Transit as their fiscal agent. As these
are major changes, the Department of Transportation is asking PRTPO to be recertified. This is an
opportunity to update their interlocal agreement and bylaws. The original interlocal agreement was
made in 1991.
She provided background and steps moving forward regarding their organizationa! structure, boards,
bylaws, and agreement. She would like the agreement to be placed on the next meeting in May for
acceptance. She reminded Counci! that Port Orchard does not receive funding through the PRTPO,
but what we do get is collaboration and networking.
Council and staff discussed other potential benefits and clarifying portions and requirements of the
agreement.
