RESOLUTION RESPONDING TO THE DUES INCREASE PROPOSED BY THE TRI-COUNTY
REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION #04-277
WHEREAS, the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission has proposed a dues increase to cover the costs of modeling and monitoring required because of the region’s designation as an ozone non-attainment area; and
WHEREAS, failure to meet the modeling and monitoring requirements jeopardizes future transportation funds coming into the region; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has reviewed the proposal made by TCRPC as well as the alternatives, and determined that an increase in dues, combined with the use of STP funds for modeling and monitoring requirements, is the most financially appropriate means of obtaining funds for this purpose.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners
does not support the dues increase proposed by
TCRPC in its letter of July 28,
2004, however, it would consider the alternative proposal (the Second
Alternative for Consultant and Staffing Combined), which involves some dues
increase ($5,500) combined with the use of STP funds.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the
