MAT will be operated in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing public transit systems including, but not limited to, the Federal Transit Law, 49 U.S.C. § 5332, applicable nondiscrimination, workplace safety, disability access, environmental, procurement, controlled substance testing, property acquisition, or similar laws or regulations. From time to time the City may be required to execute certifications attesting to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as a condition for securing state or federal funding. The City hereby authorizes the Mayor to sign all necessary certifications constituting a condition precedent to obtaining such funding. If, in the judgment of the Mayor, any required certification would either: (A) constitute a major departure from the policies of this chapter; or (B) result in a significant budgetary impact on the MAT, then the Mayor may elect to refer the certification to the City Council for consideration and/or approval.
