§ 100100 General Manager Powers

The general manager runs the VTA's daily operations and answers to the board, handling hiring, budgeting, planning transit projects, and providing yearly financial reports.

Key Takeaways

•The manager heads the VTA's administrative branch and reports to the board.
•The manager can appoint, supervise, suspend, or remove VTA officers and staff.
•The manager prepares and submits the annual budget and a yearly financial report to the board.

Example

The manager decides to add a new bus route to connect a growing neighborhood, hires extra drivers, and updates the budget to pay for the new buses.

Because the manager can plan transit facilities, supervise staff, and prepare the annual budget, they can add routes and hire drivers, and must later report on the finances of that change.

The power and duties of the general manager are all of the following: (a) To head the administrative branch of the VTA and to be responsible to the board of directors for the proper administration of all affairs of the VTA. (b) To appoint, supervise, suspend, or remove VTA officers other than the members of the board and officers appointed by the board. (c) To supervise and direct the preparation of the annual budget for the board and be responsible for its administration after its adoption. (d) To formulate and present to the board plans for transit and other transportation facilities within the boundaries of the VTA and the means to finance them. (e) To supervise the planning, acquisition, construction, maintenance, and operation of the transit facilities of the VTA and other transportation facilities within the boundaries of the VTA, as needed. (f) To attend all meetings of the board. (g) To prepare and submit to the board as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year a complete report of the finances and administrative activities of the VTA for the preceding year. (h) To perform other and additional duties as the board may require. (Amended by Stats. 2016, Ch. 381, Sec. 31. (AB 2196) Effective January 1, 2017.)
