DESCRIPTION The City presently has paratransit services provided to City residents through a Joint Powers Authority with the Cities of Danville and San Ramon. The Joint Powers Authority contracts with the San Ramon Valley Community Center who provides paratransit services . Paratransit services , have been provided by the San Ramon Valley Community Center to the City of Dublin since incorporation. This year, the operator has indicated a need to replace two paratransit vans due to their age and cost of repair . The Community Center has applied for grants to CalTrans for two paratransit vehicles . Under Cycle 16 of the UMTA Capital Grant Program, the Community Center has been awarded a grant to purchase a van at a cost of $34 , 500 . The conditions of the grant are that the local entities provide a 20% match of the cost of the van . Therefore, for this van, the JPA would have to contribute $6 , 900 towards the replacement of the van in order to get the grant . During 1983-84 , the Community Center had a fund balance of $4 , 259 in the Paratransit Operating Account. The members of the JPA agreed that this amount should be applied towards the JPA' s share of the Capital Grant. The shortfall between this amount and the required match would be $2 , 641 for the JPA. The Community Center has also applied for a grant under Cycle 17 of the UMTA Capital Grant Program. Under this cycle, the cost of the van is $43, 900 with the local match of $8 , 780 . Based on the usage of the paratransit service, the proposed 1986-87 share for the City of Dublin would be 34 1/3% of the cost incurred by the Community Center for the provision of Paratransit Services . Based on this distribution, the City of Dublin ' s share of the local match required to purchase the two paratransit vehicles would be $3 , 921 . The members of the JPA did feel it would be appropriate for the Senior Citizen groups to raise at least 50% of the cost of the second van, which would be $4 , 390 , and reimburse the Cities for a portion of the local match incurred by each City during Fiscal Year 1985-86 . In the case of the City of Dublin, this reimbursement would amount to $1, 507 . If the seniors were able to raise these funds , the total net cost to the City of Dublin would be $2 , 414 . It is recommended that the City Council authorize the contribution of $3 , 921 to purchase two new paratransit vans and authorize a budget transfer in the amount of $3 , 921 from the City ' s Contingent Reserve . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. _MA i „ ' .0 1 LSjan Ramon_Valley Community.__Center.-Inc.
