CITY OF DUBLIN ' o Q
' AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 23, 1987
SUBJECT Authorization to Submit Claim for 1987-88
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds
EXHIBITS ATTACHED Resolution; Opinion of Counsel
RECOMMENDATION : /1) Authorize the City Manager to file and execute the
necessary documents to claim TDA funds
2) Authorize the continuation of City participation
in the Tri-City Paratransit JPA to furnish
Paratransit Services
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City will receive $11, 436. 00 in TDA funds for
Fiscal Year 1987-88. The City received $12, 345 in TDA
funds for Fiscal Year 1986-87. The total recommended
subsidy for Fiscal Year 1987-88 is $14, 586. The
City' s subsidy for Fiscal Year 1986-87 is $11, 773.
DESCRIPTION Dublin is currently a member of a Joint Powers
Authority (JPA) with the Cities of Danville and San Ramon to provide
Paratransit Services for the elderly and handicapped. The JPA contracts
with the Community Services Group, a nonprofit corporation, to operate and
manage the transportation services to satisfy the needs of the elderly and
handicapped. Money used to pay for the cost of these services in Dublin
come from the following services :
1. Passenger fares
2 . Contribution from operator
3 . Dublin' s General Fund
4. Transportation Development Act (TDA)
5. Senior Citizen subsidy
The proposed budget for operating the Paratransit Service in Dublin for
1987-88 equals $38, 182 . The JPA met, reviewed, and concurs with the
proposed 1987-88 budget.
It is estimated that the total of all revenues for the Paratransit Services ,
excluding Dublin ' s subsidy, that are allocated to Dublin will equal $23, 596 :
Revenue Estimates
1. Passenger fares $ 4, 350
2 . Operator contribution 7, 491
3. TDA 11, 436
4 . Senior Citizen Subsidy 319
$23, 596
The balance of the expenses would be absorbed by Dublin ' s General Fund and
equals $14, 586. This represents an increase of $2, 813 in Dublin ' s subsidy
when compared to Fiscal Year 1986-87. The reason for this increase is
attributable to a 5% increase in the operator ' s operating costs for Fiscal
Year 1987-88 and a reduction in Dublin ' s TDA funds .

It should be noted that for the first six months of 1986-87, 310 of the
rides were from Dublin, while Dublin contributed only 26% of the funding
when considering TDA funding and the City' s subsidy. Given the reduced
level of TDA funding to Dublin, Staff believe the modest increase in the
City' s subsidy is warranted.
In 1986 the City requested LAVTA (Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority)
to submit a proposal to provide paratransit services to the City of Dublin.
A study conducted by LAVTA, which was recently released, identifies the
inability of that agency to serve the paratransit needs of Dublin' s elderly
and handicapped until 1988-1989. The major constraint to the consolidation
in 1987-1988 is the requirement of another vehicle.
Because the Tri-City JPA is operational, provides the needed services, and
since LAVTA has requested postponing the date of consolidation, Staff
recommends that Dublin continues to provide paratransit service for 1987-
1988 through the existing JPA.
