FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Department
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2024
SUBJECT:
Senior Get Around Transportation Program Agreement – Amendment RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Serra Yellow Cab, Inc. in the amount of $75,000, for a new contract total of $225,000, for the Senior Get Around Transportation Program for Fiscal Year 2023-24; and authorize the Director of Parks and Recreation to execute the amendment in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
The Parks and Recreation Department facilitates the Senior Transportation “Get Around” Program. This program was initiated in January of 2018. Since the inception of this senior transportation program, active ridership has dramatically increased on an average monthly from 125 riders in FY 2021-22, 398 riders in FY 2022-23 to 444 active riders this FY 2023-
24. In June 2023, the City Council approved a contract for Fiscal Year 2023-24 with Serra Yellow Cab, Inc. in the amount of $150,000 to facilitate the Get Around Program. It was believed that even with the increase in cost of services and increased volume of ridership from previous years, the approved $150,000 would suffice programmatic operations.
However, with the significant recent increase in ridership compiled with the increase in cost for wheelchair accessible rides, it is projected that for FY 2023-24, the cost of the service will require additional funding of $75,000, increasing the annual contract total from $150,000 to $225,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Additional funding for this program is available from the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) Lifeline Transportation Program Cycle C funding, City matched funds, and Measure S Funds, there is adequate funding for this contractual increase.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This amendment is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)
