PW Deputy Director SUBJECT: SW Weld TIP Program Forum Agreement - DRCOG The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) allocates certain federal funding for transportation improvements as part of their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Recently, in 2018, DRCOG modified their TIP funding distribution process by allocating funding to local governments within County geographies (subregional funding) within the DRCOG region. The DRCOG counties are the lead agencies for coordinating the subregional TIP forums. The Southwest Weld County communities within DRCOG include Brighton, Dacono, Erie, Frederick, Firestone, Lochbuie, Longmont, and Mead. In order for these communities to receive subregional funding from DRCOG, they must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Weld County. Weld County's responsibilities include coordinating and facilitating "The Forum" process. The Southwest Weld County TIP Forum will include a representative from each agency to serve as a regular member on the Forum. The Forum will vote to identify a final portfolio of projects and a funding request for submission to DRCOG as a recommendation of projects for their TIP. Weld County's subregional funding split has been identified to be approximately 4.3 million dollars over four years (2020-2023). In accordance with the request of all the communities, Weld County is the final agency to adopt this IGA. A work session discussing this IGA was held January 16, 2018 and monthly meetings for the Forum occur the second Thursday of every month at 2:00 pm at the Weld Southwest Service Center. Staff recommends the Board adopt the IGA. I am available to answer any questions you may have. 2018-2033 EScsoo"1S SOUTHWEST WELD COUNTY TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FORUM AGREEMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT AMONG CITY OF BRIGHTON CITY OF DACONO TOWN OF ERIE TOWN OF FREDERICK TOWN OF FIRESTONE TOWN OF LOCHBUIE CITY OF LONGMONT TOWN OF MEAD WELD COUNTY THIS SOUTHWEST WELD COUNTY TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FORUM AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into effective as of the 2nd day of July, 2018 (the "Effective Date"), by and among the County of Weld, the Cities of Brighton, Dacono, and Longmont, and the Towns of Erie, Frederick, Firestone, Lochhuie and Mead, all such parties being referred to collectively herein as the "Agencies."
