This service is now operating on a trial basis, until such time that the SLOACC has enough data to determine whether the service should become a regular regional route. Five local agencies are required to jointly provide this service; the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover City, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo and the County of San Luis Obispo. The proposed Amendment No. '2 to the South County Area Transit Joint Powers Joint Powers Agreement (SCAT JPA) extends the term of the JPA from December 31, 1988 until .June 30, 1989. This extension is necessary for SCAT to be able to operate the trial route for twelve months (per recent SLOACC direction that they want twelve months of data to review before making a final finding regarding service continuation) . By March 1989, the trial service will have operated for twelve months. At this time, SLOACC will determine whether the service should become a regular regional route. If yes, then the next step will be to determine how this service would be administered and operated on a continuing basis (should SCAT continue or should the route be part of the Central Coast Regional Transit Authority?) . Staff recommends that Amendment No. 2 be approved. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Alternative One- Approve the resolution which adopts Amendment No. 2 to the SCAT JPA. This is the recommended action. A six month extension of the SCAT JPA will allow for a full twelve month trial of this new route, time for SLOACC decisionmaking, and time to negotiate the organizational matters for long term service provision should the route be required to continue. ��m�biiuulllllllll►° ��UIU city of San Luis OBlspo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Alternative Two- Do not approve the resolution and direct staff to renegotiate the amendment. Staff does not recommend this action because it is inconsistent with previous City and SLOACC actions regarding this matter. FISCAL IMPACT No additional funding would be required as a direct result of approving Amendment No. 2. The City of San Luis Obispo's contribution is approximately 31% the route's total subsidy, projected by SLOACC staff to be approximately $21 ,000 for the trial period. This contribution was previously budgeted and included in the City's annual Transportation Development Act claim that was approved by SLOACC. CONCURRENCES Transit and legal staffs of the various local agencies. CAO RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2 to the South County Area Transit Joint Powers Agreement.
