SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO THE SAN LUIS OBISPO REGIONAL TRANSIT
AUTHORITY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution (Attachment A) authorizing execution of the amended and restated Joint
Powers Agreement for the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority allowing consolidation of
South County Transit into the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City of San Luis Obispo is a member of the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority
(RTA) Joint Powers Authority (JPA). Other members of the RTA JPA include the cities of
Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach and the
County of San Luis Obispo. Although the City is not a member of the South County Transit JPA,
it is being asked to execute amendments to the RTA Joint Powers Agreement that would allow
consolidation of South County Transit services into the RTA. The four South County Transit
JPA member agencies include the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and the
County of San Luis Obispo.
Council Member Pease is the primary delegate on the RTA Board of Directors, and Mayor
Harmon is the alternate.
Following significant analysis by RTA and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments
(SLOCOG) staff members over the past several years, as well as recommendations by the
Triennial Performance Auditor and the three South County City Managers, the South County
Transit Board of Directors requested consolidation into the RTA at its January 9, 2018 meeting.
At its March 7, 2018 meeting, the RTA Board of Directors conceptually agreed to the
consolidation, pending further input from each jurisdiction and planned April 4, 2018 actions by
the SLOCOG Board of Directors (discussed below). Action was subsequently delayed due to the
temporary shifting of priorities towards pandemic response.
Packet Page 105
Item 9
Of particular interest to the four South County Transit member jurisdictions is the issue of
continued local control over the local fixed-route services operated within the Five Cities Area
under consolidation. To that end, local fixed-route service levels (days, hours, routes, etc.),
marketing efforts, and operating/capital budgets for South County local fixed-routes would be
solely controlled through a new standing RTA South County Transit Committee (SCTC). The
SCTC would be comprised of the RTA Board members from the cities of Grover Beach, Arroyo
Grande, Pismo Beach, and one member from the Board of Supervisors. As detailed in the
attached amended and restated RTA Joint Powers Agreement, the SCTC would meet at least
annually to address public transit issues of interest to the SCTC members and to consider the
following year’s budget for local public transit services in the Five Cities Area. Funding of the
services authorized by the SCTC would be borne exclusively by the cities of Arroyo Grande,
Grover Beach and Pismo Beach, as well as the County on behalf of the communities of Oceano
and Avila Beach. A red-lined version depicting changes to the amended and restated Joint
Powers Agreement is provided as Attachment B.
Consolidation of South County Transit local fixed-route services into the RTA has significant net
financial benefits for the South County Transit jurisdictions. In addition, SLOCOG agreed to a
concession at its April 4, 2018 meeting on farebox recovery ratio requirements under
consolidation in the Arroyo Grande – Grover Beach Urbanized Area that will have long-term
financial benefits for the RTA and the SCTC member jurisdictions. The principal benefit to the
SCTC member jurisdictions is that consolidation would avoid a roughly $70,000 annual penalty
for failing to achieve the new/higher State of California 20% farebox recovery ratio requirement
that was triggered by the Federal designation of the area as “urban” in the 2010 Census (it was
10% prior to the urban designation). In summary, while some operating costs would increase
under consolidation (principally as it relates to provision of healthcare benefits to six current
part-time South County Transit employees who do not currently have health insurance), the on-
going net benefit to the SCTC member jurisdictions is anticipated to be on the order of $82,000
annually.
The effective date for the transition would be on January 1, 2021. This date was chosen because
it corresponds with the annual start date of employees’ healthcare plans, and thus would
minimize disruptions for South County Transit employees.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
RTA Executive Director Geoff Straw – who also serves as the South County Transit
Administrator – presented the notion of consolidating South County Transit into the RTA to the
San Luis Obispo City Council on July 10, 2018 as an information item. No action was requested
at that public meeting, although Mr. Straw has had continuing discussions with City Manager
and other city staff regarding the consolidation.
Policy Context
This action has no direct policy context, although with consolidation SLOCOG would permit a
lower farebox recovery ratio for the RTA for operations in the Arroyo Grande – Grover Beach
Urbanized Area and the El Paso de Robles – Atascadero Urbanized Area, resulting in a benefit
for RTA fixed-route operations in those areas (Routes 10 and 9, respectively).
Packet Page 106
Item 9
Public Engagement
This item has been discussed at several RTA Board of Directors meeti ngs, as well as at
SLOCOG Board of Directors meetings. As noted above, Mr. Straw also presented consolidation
of South County Transit into the RTA to the City Council in July 2018.
CONCURRENCE
The City Managers from Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach as well as the RTA Board
of Directors. This report has been made available to City Attorney’s office, which concurs with
the recommendation and has reviewed, edited and approved the proposed resolution and
supporting documents.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report, because the action does not constitute a “project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

Consolidation of South County Transit into RTA does not have a fiscal impact to the C ity of San
Luis Obispo. SCTC member jurisdictions (Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, County
of San Luis Obispo) are anticipated to save $82,000 annually due to increased operational
efficiencies.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Modify the RTA amended and restated Joint Powers Agreement. This is not recommended
as the action would delay the process and have significant fiscal impacts on the four South
County Transit JPA member jurisdictions.
2. Do not approve the Resolution to execute the RTA amended and restated Joint Powers
Agreement. This is not recommended as the action would leave in place the existing RTA
Joint Powers Agreement.
