Agenda Number: 11 Section Name: {{section.name}} Account Number: 11-6114 File ID: {{item.tracking_number}} TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Department
MEETING DATE: December 09, 2024
SUBJECT:
Serra Yellow Cab, Inc. Agreement — Amendment No. 2
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Resolution for the appropriation of Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Serra Yellow Cab, Inc. in the amount of $150,000, resulting in a new contract total of $300,000 for the Senior Get Around Transportation Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 24-25; 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 annually. In FY 21-22, ridership averaged approximately 125 participants per month. As of this fiscal year, ridership participants per month average approximately 500. In June 2023, City Council approved a contract for FY 23-24 with the option to extend an additional year for FY 24-25 in the amount of $150,000 per fiscal year, for a total contract amount of $300,000. It was believed that, even with the increase in cost of services and increased volume of ridership from previous years, the approved $150,000 per year would suffice programmatic operations. However, with the significant continuous growth in ridership compiled with the rise in prices for wheelchair accessible rides cost have considerably increased. City Council approved Amendment No. 1 in March 2023 for an increase for FY 23-24 funding from $150,000 to $225,000. For FY 24-25, it is projected that the cost of transportation services will require an additional increase of approved funding of $150,000. Thus, the contract total for FY 24-25 will be $300,000, bringing the total two- year contract to $525,000.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The amended agreement will be funded with $100,000 from C/CAG Lifeline Transportation Program Cycle 7 funding and $200,000 from Measure S Funds. The $200,000 in funding from Measure S is already included in the Parks and Recreation operating budget. Staff is appropriating $100,000 from the recently accepted C/CAG Lifeline Transportation Program Cycle 7 grant to fund the additional agreement amendment costs.
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).)
