FIKANCIAL The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority has
STATIHINT: requested a contribution of $1,500 to support Dial-A-
Ride services in Fiscal Year 1994-95.
DBSCRIPTION: Correspondenoe has been received from the Livermore
Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) requesting funding to support
Dial-A-Ride services in the upcoming Fiscal Year.
As stated in the attached letter, LAVTA is requesting a $1,500 subsidy
to help offset the cost of providing servioe in the city of Dublin and
to avoid Dial-A-Ride fare inoreases. Further, LAVTA indicates that the
funding will help compensate for the costs associated with expanding
Dial-A-Ride services to meet the requirements of the federal Americans
with Disabilities Act.
Typically, the Dublin city council considers budget requests of this
nature during the annual Budget Hearings scheduled in June each year.
However, the LAVTA indicates in the attached letter that it will begin
its own budget preparation within the next month. consequently, LAVTA
requests a response from the city of Dublin by mid-March of 1994.
It is recommended that the city council receive the request and further
consider during the Fiscal year 1994-95 budget deliberations.

Dear Mr. Ambrose:
The Livermore/Amador Valley Transit Authority is requesting the City of Dublin to support
Dial-a-Ride services in the upcoming fiscal year by resuming its $1,500 annual contribution.
In response to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we have expanded Dial-
a-Ride services to run in the evenings and on Sundays. While this will be a great benefit to
Dublin's Dial-a-Ride clients, it puts an increased financial burden on the Authority.
" I..' ':' ",'. I 1,"1, ; ;.
We would appreciate the City's support of Dial.a-Ride, even in the current financially
constrained economic environment. The $1,500 contribution helps to offset the cost of providing
service in your City and has enabled LA VT A to avoid Dial-a-Ride fare increases.
Since LA VTA will begin preparation of its annual budget within the next month, I would
appreciate a response from you by mid-march as to whether the City will be supporting this
request.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call
me at (510) 455-7558.
Sincerely,
qalUt-~ ci<.., /J 7t7'dt*J
Janeene de Martinez
Director of Finance and Administration
