C-TRAN really doesn't want to get out of TRIMET contract

The C-Tran Board of ­Directors has pledged to take a vote in July on whether to terminate a controversial light-rail contract the transit agency inked in 2013.
Board members decided to put an action item on next month’s meeting agenda after broaching the subject somewhat delicately Tuesday.
The group received a confidential memo from ­C-Tran attorney Tom Wolfendale this past week outlining possible actions on the contract, which spelled out how C-Tran and TriMet would operate light rail as part of the Columbia River Crossing.
Wolfendale cautioned the board against going into too much detail publicly, given the legal ramifications of terminating a binding contract between two agencies. But during that discussion, Wolfendale seemed to indicate that C-Tran might have a legal basis for terminating the agreement. He said after the meeting that the contract’s “duration” — he didn’t elaborate — could be part of a possible basis for termination.
