Agenda Item XI
PTO Resolution 08-99-23
STAFF REPORT
TO: Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council Board of Directors
FROM: WDean Lookingbill, Transportation Director
DATE: August 10, 1999
SUBJECT: City of North Bonneville's Request for RTC Membership,
Resolution 08-99-23
BACKGROUND
The City of North Bonneville has requested RTC membership (see attached letter). The City of
North Bonneville's request is the first since RTC was established in July of 1992. The Mayor of
North Bonneville, John Kirk, has initiated this request. Mayor Kirk's interest in being a member
of RTC is based on his recognition of the important role RTC plays in transportation issues in
Southwest Washington and is hopeful that RTC can help his small community find additional
transportation resources. The number of seats on the RTC Board would not change with this
action because there is currently one representative on the RTC Board of Directors, for all
member agencies in Skamania County. Skamania County Commissioner Judy Carter holds this
seat. North Bonneville would be a voting member of the Skamania Transportation Policy
Committee which meets monthly in Stevenson. The same situation is true for Klickitat County,
their individual members and the K.lickitat County Transportation Policy Committee. In
summary, the change that would occur with this request is that North Bonneville would become
a member of RTC and a voting member of the Skamania County Transportation Policy
Committee.
POLICY IMPLICATION
The existing members of the Skamania County Transportation Policy Committee which include
Skamania County, Stevenson, Port of Skamania County and WSDOT support the addition of
North Bonneville to their committee. The regional transportation planning and decision process
is strengthened throughout the Columbia River Gorge with the addition of another general-
purpose local government being added into the process.
RTC's Interlocal Agreement provides for the addition of new members by consent of all parties
to the Agreement. This would indicate the requirement for a unanimous vote by the RTC Board
plus a sign off by the other RTC members who do not sit on the Board. Hence, these additional
entities would also be asked for their approval. The addition of North Bonneville would increase
RTC membership from 21 to 22 members.

BUDGET IMPLICATION
The RTC membership for North Bonneville would be the same as for the other Skamania and
Klickitat County members at $500 per year. The current level of WSDOT RTPO transportation
planning funds is sufficient to cover the related costs of adding North Bonneville.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adoption of Resolution 08-99-23, City of North Bonneville's Request for RTC Membership.
ADOPTED this 17th day of August 1999,
by the Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council.

SUBJECT: City of Goldendale's Request for RTC Membership,Resolution 11-99-31
BACKGROUND
The City of Goldendale has requested RTC membership (see attached letter). The City of
Goldendale's request is the second since RTC was established in July of 1992. The Mayor of
Goldendale, Mark Sigfrinius, has initiated this request. Mayor Sigfrinius's interest in being a
member of RTC is based on his recognition of the important role RTC plays in transportation
issues in Southwest Washington and is hopeful that RTC can help his small community find
additional transportation resources. The number of seats on the RTC Board would not change
with this action because there is currently one representative on the RTC Board of Directors, for
all member agencies in Klickitat County. Klickitat County Commissioner Ray Thayer holds this
seat. Goldendale would be a voting member of the Klickitat Transportation Policy Committee
which meets monthly in Bingen. The same situation is true for Skamania County, their
individual members and the Skamania County Transportation Policy Committee. In summary,
the change that would occur with this request is that Goldendale would become a member of
RTC and a voting member of the Klickitat County Transportation Policy Committee.
POLICY IMPLICATION
The existing members of the Klickitat County Transportation Policy Committee which include
Klickitat County, White Salmon, Port of Klickitat and WSDOT support the addition of
Goldendale to their committee. The regional transportation planning and decision process is
