SUBJECT
Authorize Execution of Amendment No 1 to City Contract No 33958 with the Keller Independent
School District to Extend the Term of the Contract Until the Contract Funds are Spent and Adopt
Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No 1 to City Contract No 33958 a traffic congestion
mitigation agreement with the Keller Independent School District ("KISD") to extend the term to the
expenditure of the remaining $51 099 52 contract funds
2) Appropriate $90 000 00' and
3} Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the General Fund
in the amount of $90 000 00 and decreasing the undesignated fund balance by the same amount.
DISCUSSION
On August 8 2006 the City Council approved Council Proposal No.259 which directed staff to negotiate a
traffic congestion mitigation agreement with KISD The agreement (City Contract No 33958) provides
that the City will reimburse KISD the cost associated with apay-per-ride bus service up to $90 000 or until
the installation and acceptance of certain infrastructure improvements The improvements delineated in the
agreement have been installed and accepted To date the City has reimbursed KISD $38 900 48 for the
bus service provided
Over the last several months the bus service has proven to be a great success Nearly 700 students per
day are utilizing the service which has significantly reduced the amount of traffic on Keller Hicks Road
during critical times of the school day Although the traffic improvements anticipated by the agreement
have been completed student safety and traffic congestion issues still remain Approval of this M&C will
allow the City Manager to execute Amendment No 1 to the KISD agreement to extend the term of the
traffic mitigation program and reimbursement of the pay-per-ride bus service up to the $90 000 total
projected in August, 2006 These funds along with private sector donations being sought could potentially
extend the bus service through the end of the spring semester To date $30 000 has been generously
donated to KISD for this service by Centurian American Development Group which is associated with the
Woodland Springs development group
