Authorization to Award Lifetime Transit Passes to Carolyn Gonot
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the award of a Lifetime Transit Pass to Carolyn Gonot and one other person she designates in recognition of her service as UTA’s Executive Director from 2019-2021.
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Public Transit District Act directs the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to set fare rates and approve any reduced fare agreements. Additionally, Board Policy 4.1 empowers the Board to approve awarding of complimentary transit passes.
DISCUSSION:
Carolyn Gonot served as the Authority’s Executive Director from August 2019 through July 9, 2021. The Board recognized Ms. Gonot’s contribution to UTA last month in Resolution R2021-06-06. The Authority would like to award Lifetime Transit Passes to Ms. Gonot and one other person she designates to thank her for her service to UTA.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board of Trustees could choose to not approve the complimentary passes or propose a revision to the terms.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The award of complimentary passes is a soft cost to the Authority. A comparison could be made to our current Annual ECO Pass programs which include annual pass products valued at $392-872/year depending on the terms and utilization.
