CityCouncil | 2021-12-07 | 21 | 633 Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether a six month follow-up is being included for staff to report on how the program is working at all hours; expressed support for follow-up from staff due to deviation from the proposed hours and distances. Vice Mayor Vella stated the follow-up will be addressed by having staff perform a check-in with AC Transit; she understood the six month check-in to occur whether AC Transit had issues with bus headways; should staff go to AC Transit, Council will receive feedback. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated one year's time for a check-in will provide a more realistic idea for the program; implemented changes take time and getting used to; expressed support for a one year check-in. The Public Works Director stated staff will have to change the signal timing following the meeting and the effort is not typically quick; the one year check-in will be sufficient. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the intent is to call AC Transit and schedule a meeting about the proposed program or to implement the policy and provide a check-in one year later. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she understands the motion to have staff talk to AC Transit, should AC Transit have a significant problem with the proposal, staff can return to Council. Councilmember Knox White concurred with Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft; stated there is strong interest in a full report after one year; amended the motion to include staff returning with a report on how the program is working.
