EXHIBITS ATTACHED Resolution
RECOMMENDATION dopt Resolution authorizin g Staff to submit claim for
easure B paratransit funds
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City will receive $3, 200 in Measure B Funds in
Fiscal Year 1987-88
DESCRIPTION The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)
estimates that between $600, 000 and $800, 000 will be accumulated through
June 30, 1988 from Measure B money for use by paratransit programs . The
Alameda County Paratransit Coordinating Committee will consider using this
money for some of the following purposes :
1 ) To help pay the costs associated with single audit requirements
2 ) For a Management Information Computer System
3 ) For buses and vans to provide transportation for the handicapped and
elderly
4) To bring the level of funding for operating the paratransit programs back
to the 1986-87 level .
Staff believes that Dublin should apply for $3, 200 of Measure B money for
this fiscal year. The intent is to use this money for two purposes :
1 ) To bring the current funding level back to the 1986-87 budgeted amount
plus allow for inflation. This portion of the claim equals $1, 000.
2) To help fund the acquisition of a van for paratransit service.
At the regular City Council meeting on March 23, 1987, the City Council
approved the submittal of a TDA claim for Fiscal Year 1987-88. At that
time, the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) , had completed a
review of paratransit services within the Cities they serve. On July 1,
1987, LAVTA became the manager of paratransit services in Livermore. They
indicated that consolidation of the three independent paratransit programs
would not be possibe in 1987-88. The major constraint would be the
acquisition of another vehicle. LAVTA has indicated that a substantial lead
time is required to order a vehicle, however, LAVTA' s Short Range Plan
suggests efforts should be made to accomplish this task.
Pursuant to previous City Council direction and the LAVTA Short Range
Transportation Plan, Staff will be working with LAVTA to determine the
ability to provide paratransit service in Fiscal Year 1988-89. The
potential Measure B Paratransit Funds for a vehicle would not be expended
until the City has a formal agreement with LAVTA and the source of
additional required funds is determined.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution, which
authorizes Staff to submit a claim ' to the MTC for $3, 200 of Measure B
paratransit funds for Fiscal Year 1987-88.
