TNM&O will pay a security deposit of $500 and will be required to carry the necessary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Adoption of this Resolution will permit the City to enter into a two-year lease with TNM&O for
rental of space at the Downtown Transit Center. This action will provide for over-the-road
coaches from TNM&O, Greyhound, and Powder River (TNM&O has operating agreements with
Greyhound and Powder River) to operate from one central multi-modal facility. Since 1998,
City staff has been working on developing a facility where the public could easily access over-
the-road buses and various City transportation modes.
Through this lease agreement, the quality of bus service will improve. TNM&O expects to have
12 buses utilize the facility daily. Additionally, payments from TNM&O will assist in offsetting
the operational expenses for the transit center.
