Chair Martinez - I appreciate staff's commitment to expedite this but I will throw this caution out, it's about hiring the right person, whether four months or six months. Also I would like to ask about Gilbert Tweed, the search firm. Do they have any background or experience in non-transportation CEO search and was it made clear to them that this

Support of Intergovernmental ARRA Effort
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution in Support of the Intergovernmental Effort to Collaborate on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Prompted by discussion at meetings of the Community Action Network (CAN), representatives from six major Travis County taxing jurisdictions, CAN, Workforce Solutions, and the Austin Chamber of Commerce have been strategizing about ways to maximize federal stimulus (ARRA) dollars through intergovernmental collaboration. The six taxing jurisdictions include Capital Metro, Travis County, the City of Austin, Austin Community College, Austin Independent School District, and the Travis County Healthcare District. A steering committee comprised of representatives from each agency, CAN, and the Chamber has been formed. Additionally, eight workgroups have also been created to identify collaborative opportunities in areas such as Transportation, Health, Education, and Family Sustainability. The Steering Committee meets on a monthly basis and each workgroup meets every few months.
Though the availability of federal ARRA funds was the impetus behind this effort, this collaboration should result in mutual benefits beyond any ARRA-specific initiatives.
Attached are: 1. A report from the Steering Committee to the governmental partners about the
effort. 2. A list of the nine entities represented on the Steering Committee, and a list of the
eight workgroups and respective Capital Metro leads. 3. A diagram depicting the Steering Committee entities, their goals and guiding
principles, and sample issue areas of collaboration. 4. A proposed resolution in support of the intergovernmental effort.
The proposed resolution seeks the Capital Metro Board of Director’s support and encouragement of the effort. The five other governmental entities involved have also approved the proposed resolution.

FROM: Intergovernmental Stimulus Steering Committee
DATE: December 16, 2009
OVERVIEW
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) – also known as the federal stimulus bill – became law in February of 2009. ARRA seeks to invest $780 billion nationally in a broad range of strategies designed to facilitate economic recovery and make transformational investments in infrastructure, technology and human capital.
A large portion of stimulus funding is flowing to cities, counties and other local governmental entities via formula grants, which vary according to the purposes of the grant and the characteristics of the target population. Much of this formuladriven money has already been allocated.
Other programs within ARRA will award funds through competitive grants. Many of the competitive grants will utilize scoring criteria that prioritize new problemsolving approaches and innovative collaborations.
This memorandum summarizes the ongoing collaborative efforts of the major taxing jurisdictions in Travis County to maximize our ability to identify and attract stimulus dollars.
HISTORY
An intergovernmental steering committee was organized and initially convened in April of this year. Charter members included the six local taxing jurisdictions listed above and the Community Action Network. Workforce Solutions was subsequently added as a partner.
The initial meeting was an informal exchange of information regarding various governmental entities’ efforts to identify and secure ARRA funds. At that meeting, the partners resolved to formalize the steering committee with a monthly meeting schedule.
The current goals of the steering committee are: � to exchange information about stimulus funding opportunities being pursued by
the governmental partners;

� to identify and develop opportunities for collaboration in securing additional stimulus funding, particularly in those competitive grant situations that place a premium upon creative problemsolving and intergovernmental collaboration;
� to advocate for modification of future stimulus grants programs to better meet the needs of the region; and
� to communicate effectively among governmental partners, interested stakeholders and the general public regarding efforts to maximize ARRA funding for the region.
WORKGROUPS
In June, the steering committee formed working groups to coordinate intergovernmental stimulus efforts in nine broad areas: Education, Energy, Health, Housing, Public Safety/Law Enforcement, Technology, Transportation and Infrastructure, Workforce Development, and Youth and Family.
Each workgroup is comprised of key staff from each of the governmental partners. Once formed, workgroups were encouraged to reach out to other governmental and nonprofit stakeholders and involve them fully in the workgroups’ efforts. Workgroups continue to meet to exchange information and identify and develop opportunities for collaboration.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
Members of both the steering committee and workgroups struggle with time and resource allocation issues, as work on this effort is in addition to existing work responsibilities.
Workgroups struggle to be inclusive and remain focused and effective. The groups must constantly evaluate whether all appropriate stakeholders, including other governmental entities, nonprofits and advocacy groups are involved. The steering committee has made this issue a priority. This allows the governmental entities to engage with their nonprofit partners and the larger community in collaborative efforts to address community needs and achieve mutual goals in the region. Greater efficiencies and partnership gained from this collaborative effort will be critical if our region is to remain competitive and affordable for all.
Though the availability of federal ARRA funds was the impetus behind this effort, the steering committee believes that this collaboration will result in mutual benefits beyond any ARRA initiatives.
