Staff seeks clarity on permanent access agreement and an "FTA stipulation" for Bailey BRT project

A staff member said the city’s public works department will "maintain all authority and review of [the] permanent access agreement" tied to the Bailey BRT project, and that staff had included a caveat to that effect in draft language.

The same staff member said there was an unspecified "FTA stipulation" (transcript shows both "FDA" and "FTA" references) that needed to be met and asked for clarification: "There was a it was just a vague there was an FTA stipulation that needed to be met, I I believe. I wasn't sure what that was."

Staff reported exchanging comments with external reviewers and city colleagues: "I think we sent our comments with John. I believe sent their comments back. Okay. So, I think this is the Bailey project." The presenter said they were keeping suggested changes limited to wording tied to the Bailey BRT project.

The transcript shows staff intend to forward the item to committee for further review. No formal committee action or final vote on the access agreement appears in the provided excerpt.
