EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: According to the Austin Transit Partnership Articles of Incorporation, the ATP Board includes a member who is appointed by the CapMetro Board of Directors, to represent the CapMetro Board. CapMetro representation on the ATP Board ensures ATP and CapMetro alignment on key decisions related to the Project Connect transit expansion program.
BUSINESS CASE: The current CapMetro appointee is Chair Jeff Travillion who was appointed in July 2022 to complete the rest of former CapMetro ATP appointee Eric Stratton’s term, ending in December 2022. The CapMetro Board needs to appoint their representative to the ATP Board for the next two year term, ending in December 2025.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item will be presented to the full board on November 21, 2022.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Austin Transit Partnership (ATP) is a local government corporation jointly created by the CapMetro Board of Directors (Board Resolution AI-2020-1399) and Austin City Council (Resolution No. 20201218-002), as the principal entity responsible for financing, designing, building, implementing and contracting with CapMetro to operate and maintain assets programmed as part of the Project Connect transit expansion program. As part of the ATP Articles of Incorporation related to ATP Board composition, the CapMetro Board appoints one member of the ATP Board to represent CapMetro on the transit expansion program board.
On July 25, 2022, the CapMetro Board appointed Jeff Travillion as their representative on the ATP Board, effective August 1, 2022, with Board Member Travillion serving for the remainder of the term to which he was appointed, ending in December 2022 (CapMetro’s appointees to ATP serve two-year terms).
This action on behalf of the Board will reappoint CapMetro Board Member Jeff Travillion so that he may continue serving as CapMetro’s representative on the ATP Board, for a two-year term beginning in January 2023 and ending in December 2025.
If the CapMetro Board elects to appoint a CapMetro Board Member who resides outside the CapMetro service area or is not an Austin resident, the CapMetro Board must also waive the residency requirement for their appointee. Board Member Travillion lives outside of Austin and the CapMetro service area, and therefore, this action item includes the waiver of the residency requirement to support his reappointment. This waiver is applicable only to this action item and this specific term and does not assume or consider future waivers for any future appointments.
