CityCouncil | 2005-06-21 | 12 | Councilmember deHaan stated taking one trip out per day is a major change. Steve Brimhall, President HBM, stated the capital reserve funds do not apply against the fare box; HBM is not in a funding position. The Ferry Services Manager stated that the City has an obligation to maintain ferryboats or pay back the grants used to acquire the boats. The Public Works Director suggested the recommendation might be to accept the three-month trial subject to MTC's approval and reaching an agreement with HBM. Mayor Johnson suggested conveying to MTC that the City does not want to lose more riders by cutting service and wants to do everything possible to maintain the level of service and increase the number of riders above the current level. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether there is any indication that the June fare box recovery is trending upwards, to which the Public Works Direction responded that he did not know. Councilmember Daysog inquired how eliminating the 7:30 p.m. run would impact ratios, to which the Acting City Manager responded by 1%. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he is in favor of presenting the proposal to MTC ; eliminated services are never recovered. Councilmember Daysog concurred with Councilmember Matarrese. Councilmember Matarrese stated a month-and-a-half trial period would be fine if a three-month trial period were too long. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of the staff recommendation with the exception of eliminating the 7:30 p.m. run contingent upon MTC allowing the City to preserve the 7:30 p.m. run for an approximate three-month trial period and agreement with HBM. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 12 June 21, 2005 | CityCouncil/2005-06-21.pdf |
