SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the City of La Porte and Harris County for circulator bus
service in the City of La Porte will expire September 30, 2011. The City of La Porte provided
$90,000 for the cost of the service during the initial term of the Agreement. Harris County has
subsequently been able to leverage Federal Transportation (FTA) funds for the proposed extension,
which will allow the City's initial contribution of $90,000 to stretch until August 31, 2012. The FY
2011 -12 proposed budget reduced funding for the bus service to reflect the amendment in this ILA.
The amended Interlocal Agreement is attached as Exhibit One.
Action Required by Council:
Approve Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement
with Harris County for circulator bus service through August 30, 2012.
