ATTACHMENTS:
1. Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Interlocal Agreement
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: N/A
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
For many years, the City has had an Interlocal Agreement with Snohomish County for
County staff to administer the CTR plans and programs for major employers within the
City (those with 100 or more employees). They have also provided the same service to
other cities within the County. On November 5, 2007 the responsibility to provide those
services in an Interlocal Agreement was transferred to Community Transit (Snohomish
County Public Transit Benefit Area). This agreement was for the period of July 1, 2007
to June 30, 2011.City staff does not have the time or the expertise to be the lead agency
responsible for implementing and administering the CTR plan for the major employers.
In addition, it is more efficient and effective to implement the plans and programs in a
common manner and have one designated lead agency responsible for coordinating
their development and implementation for the County and Cities. There is no cost to
the City; funds for CTR plans and programs come from the Washington State
Department of Transportation. The attached Interlocal Agreement would extend the
agreement until June 30, 2015.

COMMITTEE REVIEW AND ACTION: N/A
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve as recommended.
2. Remand to staff for further information.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign the Commute Trip Reduction Interlocal Agreement for
