Originally, we stated that the City of Washougal recently passed 2 (two) Resolutions on the C-Tran project, however, this is incorrect. During the meeting held on April 4, 2011, only Resolution 1026 passed, the other proposed resolution did not pass and was inadvertently signed by the Mayor and myself after the meeting. Tam requesting you disregard the former Resolutions and instead use the Resolutions attached to this letter as the official documents for your request, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, Ifyou have any questions please contact me at 360-835-8501, fax 360-835-8808, or e- ‘mail at jforsberg@ei.washougal.wa.us Sincerely, Finance Director/ City Clerk 360-835-8501 ext. 503 jforsberg@ci:washougal.wa.usresoturion [Zip A Resolution Concerning C-TRAN Levy Elections WHEREAS, The interest of the Cities of Washougal, and Camas, are represented on the C-Tran Board of Directors by a single individual; and WHEREAS, The planning horizons of C-Tran are measured in years, and even decades; Board Members must be well versed in details of operations and budget, the long-term plans, the requirements and capabilities of the existing and planned system, and how those pieces fit together in a regional transportation plan that includes not only Southwest Washington, but also Oregon; and WHEREAS, The C-Tran Board, and staff, must have special knowledge of the Laws and Regulations governing C-Tran.
