TransportationCommission | 2016-01-27 | 12 | Now that the AC Transit Board has allowed staff more time this will allow staff to come before the Commission this evening and then City Council meeting February 2. Commissioner Vargas recognized that there were numerous comments provided with various alternatives. He said a lot of students and parents supported alternative #1 and alternative #3 was a good alternative. He wondered if there was a summary of the fiscal implications available. Staff Payne replied that was a good point that she had not considered and the shuttle is mainly provided by grants with local funding match and Wind River provides their TDM monies. Therefore, that would be an additional savings of $50,000 annually. Commissioner Bellows replied Wind River would not necessarily give them the money anymore. Staff Payne replied what the City would end up doing would be to request to see if Wind River would be interested in being part of a TDM Association. She said they gave the City $20,000 a year and maybe a better way would be for all of the development monies to go into a separate nonprofit that would be in charge of all the TDM monies in a more comprehensive way. Commissioner Schatmeier said he was attracted to the idea to bring the Line 19 and priorities together before the Council because the line is a concrete service proposal that the Council will pass and adding the priorities will bring more attention than doing so later. Commissioner Bellows stated that Commissioner Schatmeier has put together a motion with the add-ons. Staff Payne replied that she would provide the content of the memo including the acceptance of Line 19. Commissioner Schatmeier explained that the issue of transit was bigger than one line. He applauded the City for getting involved in public transit issues and how they would like the City to be in the future. Staff Payne replied the only item that was not included is the Clipper card item that will be reviewed. Commissioner Miley agreed with Commissioner Schatmeier and said there was some weight in the motion. He was also glad AC Transit staff was at tonight's meeting. Commissioner Schatmeier replied he was right they did not change the Line O and the Line 21 cut away from the Oakland airport, but he explained the principal was if AC Transit plans to cut services to the airport or ferries keep the money in the City. Commissioner Schatmeier moved to approve the restoration of Line 19, but to also convey to the Council the Commission's priorities for future transit action within the City. Commissioner Miley seconded the motion. The motion was approved 6-0. 5.F.
