Re: Downtown People Mover
Dear Mr. Levine:
It is my understanding that the Joint Powers Agreement
is scheduled for consideration by the Economic Develop-
ment Committee of the Council for Friday, June 10, 1977.
According to House File No. 1610, dated May 20, 1977,
the Legislature has mandated a change in the previously
approved Joint Powers Agreement between the Metropolitan
Transit Commission and the City of Saint Paul. Accord-
ingly, I have attached a Resolution for Council considera-
tion adopting an amended version of the Joint Powers
Agreement.
The changes that have been made are those included in
the b ill passed by the Legislature which appropriated
monies for use by the Metropolitan Transit Commission.
The changes in abbreviated form are basically as follows:
l. Paragraph 1 has been changed to reflect a
new termination date, that of June 30, 1978.
2 . Paragraph 2 has been changed adopting the
wording of the statute expanding the scope
of work.
3. Paragraph 4 has been altered to delete the
Administrator of the Metropolitan Transit
Commission and substituting therefor the
Commissioner of the Department of Transporta-
tion, the Chairman of the Transportation
Advisory Board of the Metropolitan Council,
a member of the State Senate, and a member
of the State House of Representatives.

4. Paragraph 12 has been changed deleting
what was veto power on the part of the
Mayor for third party contracts. Instead,
these third party contracts are to be
approved by a majority of the Steering
Committee.
5. Paragraph 14 specifies the Metropolitan
Council as another reviewing agency of
progress in the preliminary engineering
study. It further provides the Metropolitan
Council will submit an independent report
of the study to the State Legislature and
the Steering Committee.
Mr. Schnarr, Downtown People Mover project manager, has
informed me that copies of the �oint Powers Agreement will
be provided to the members of your committee by his
office.
If you have any questions concerning any aspect of these
changes, please contact me.
Y urs truly,
��...-�-�Z��Q,v�
