CityCouncil | 2018-05-01 | 11 | The Acting Assistant City Manager noted the amount is the company's revenue. Mayor Spencer stated that she would like to know how much money the City would make. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated the benefits should be the focus; the agreement should include a measurement of the benefits and complaints; having fewer vehicles on the City streets would make the program worth it; just adding 50 more vehicles is not worth it because a company would be making money using City streets; measurement needs to show the program reduces the number of vehicles using streets. Mayor Spencer requested a friendly amendment to the motion to shorten the time to six months or less than a year. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how long the company would want to do the pilot to have statistically relevant data; stated at the end of the one year, Gig Car Share would probably want to renew, which could be dependent on certain performance metrics. The Transportation Coordinator noted in early 2019, Gig Car Share members will be surveyed to quantify benefits; stated the matter would return to the Transportation Commission and Council in the spring of next year, which is timed with the other East Bay pilots. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he wants to ensure the City knows the starting with baseline and the change from allowing the cars on the street after seven months. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry regarding an estimate of how long cars will be parked in front of someone's house, Ms. Morgan stated the company's goal is to maximize use of the cars; the fleet team very carefully monitors the resource; areas with more use will be watched to meet demand with supply. Councilmember Oddie noted the City gets money from Vehicle License Fees (VLF); stated the 50 cars will not be registered in Alameda; the City will not get VLF or sales tax revenue and is allowing resources to be used for the benefit of a private company without any type of fee recovery; said questions need to be answered. The Acting City Manager stated the City would get a business license fee and tax based on gross income. Ms. Morgan stated in response to the Mayor's previous inquiry, the insurance coverage is bodily injury covered up to $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident and property damage liability up to $50,000; there is also uninsured and under insured motorists coverage of bodily injury up to $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident; Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 6 May 1, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-05-01.pdf |
