Fare Agreement: Ski Bus Service - Amendment 2 (Morgan County)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute Amendment 2 to the ski bus service agreement with Morgan County
BACKGROUND:
Utah Transit Authority and Morgan County have a longstanding relationship to promote the sustainability and growth of the Ski Bus Service. On December 4, 2019 the board approved a Ski Bus Service Agreement between Morgan County and UTA for the 2019-2020 ski season that included two (2) one-year options to renew the contract. For the 2020-21 Ski Season, UTA renewed the agreement with Morgan County using one of two renewal options (approved by the board on December 2, 2020). The Ski Service Agreement allowed the County to partner with UTA to fund a portion of the operating cost of the ski bus service between Layton FrontRunner Station and Snowbasin Ski Resort and also to facilitate a bus stop in the town of Mountain Green.
In past agreements, Davis and Morgan Counties paid 100 percent of the Ski Bus Service operating costs. More recently, an allocation methodology was agreed to resulting in seven percent of the operating costs being assigned to Morgan County. The cost to Morgan County was $6,881 for each of the 2019-2020 and the 2020-2021 ski seasons.
In an effort to introduce consistency to its Ski Bus Service Contracts this year, UTA is proposing to pay 60 percent of the operating costs for this service, with Morgan and Davis Counties splitting the remaining 40 percent based on the existing cost allocation methodology. The resulting 2021-22 contract cost to Morgan County will be $2,811.
DISCUSSION:
UTA and Morgan County have agreed to renew the contract terms found in paragraph
one of the original contract for the 2019-20 Ski Season. This is the second renewal option that the county has exercised. Morgan County will continue to fund their agreed to share of the operating cost of the ski bus service between Layton FrontRunner Station and Snowbasin Ski Resort. In addition, UTA will continue to provide a bus stop in Mountain Green.
