Common use of Development and Approval Process Clause in Contracts

Development and Approval Process. Any Party can present an Administrative Agreement, or an amendment or supplement thereto, or termination thereof, to the City for approval by way of the Joint Administrative Review Process. Once an Administrative Agreement receives City’s Administrative Approval, then, with respect to the Participating Agencies, an Administrative Agreement may be presented to the Metro Commission for review and a first reading. Sixty (60) days or more after the first reading, after the Metro Commissioners have had opportunity to consult with their respective agency staff and governing boards, the Administrative Agreement may be presented for a second reading and approved upon an affirmative vote by no less than two-thirds of the members of the Metro Commission during a duly noticed public meeting (in other words, upon the affirmative vote of no less than eight of the twelve members of the Metro Commission, irrespective of how many Metro Commissioners are present at the meeting, unless the number of Participating Agencies changes). If the second reading does not occur within One Hundred and Twenty (120) days of the first reading, the proposed Administrative Agreement shall no longer be in consideration. An Administrative Agreement, amendment thereto, or termination thereof, must receive City’s Administrative Approval and no less than a two-thirds vote by the Metro Commission before it is effective.
