SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA
AND JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA
April 16, 1998
As a component of our recently concluded negotiations between the City and County, we have
agreed that the term of the contract for paratransit services will be for a period of five years and
two months. Additionally we have determined that a number of issues, concerns, and other
related matters need discussion and resolution. By way of this side letter of agreement, those
issues are so identified. It was further agreed that during the first three years of our agreement
no later than June 30, 2001 we will have addressed these issues.
The following discussion items are to be considered and either party may raise related issues
during the course of these discussions. It has been agreed that the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors will appoint an advisory committee as identified in Point ¢¢1 to review such matters
and provide recommendations to our respective legislative bodies. It is understood that if
necessary, the legislative bodies of the City and County may convene to discuss these and
related issues as well as the recommendations of any advisory body.
The Board of Supervisors agrees to create an advisory committee that would consist of two
members appointed by the Iowa City City Council, two members appointed by the Board of
Supervisors, one member appointed by the Coralville City Council and four SEATS
consumers to be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. This committee would be advisory
in nature and assist in addressing paratransit issues in Johnson County. The advisory
committee will investigate issues of interest which include but are not limited to fair share
allocation of cost, joint governance, and human service study.
2. Maintenance of Vehicles. The City has expressed interest in pursuing the possibility of the
use of City maintenance facilities and employees serving as maintenance contractor to the
County for paratransit vehicles. The County has indicated the importance of a timely repair
and maintenance system and if it is determined to be financially and otherwise practical, the
County will consider such a proposal. The City will prepare and submit a proposal that
identifies the estimated cost of City maintenance of paratransit vehicles. The Johnson
County SEATS staff will provide documentation and maintenance information to assist the
City in preparation of its proposal.
3. Lease of Paratransit Vehicles. The City has expressed interest in the utilization of SEATS
vehicles to supplement the City's fixed-route system. City employees would operate this
equipment. The County has indicated they would investigate through EClCOG the use of
SEATS vehicles for such Iowa City use. The County has indicated that SEATS vehicles are
used first to provide paratransit services and that the assignment of these vehicles would
not compete with or cause undue management and/or other operational problems for the
SEATS system. The retro-fitting of existing SEATS vehicles if the leasing of these vehicles
were to occur would be the responsibility of the City. Such retrofitting as fare boxes,
wheelchair lifts, route markings, etc. will be the responsibility of the City.
4. Annual Rider Survey. The City and the County agree that an annual survey of SEATS
riders will be conducted.
5. Operational Policies. The City has expressed interest in some type of operational policy
document or compendium of documents to identify for all interested parties the operating
policies, procedures and related matters associated with the operation of SEATS. This
document would be provided to the advisory committee in order that they may be aware of
the day-to-day operational issues associated with SEATS. The City transit staff will
cooperate and assist in the assembly of this document recognizing that City operational
policies for paratransit have a bearing on operational policies of the SEATS system.
