COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT NUMB
FROM: Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer -
SUBJECT2 Mass Transportation Committee Changes
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Receive a report regarding the status and structure of the
Mass Transportation Committee.
2. Introduce an ordinance to print amending the Mass
Transportation Committee (MTC) membership requirements to:
(A) exempt the Cal Poly representative from term limitations
and (B) replace the Human Relations Commission representative
with a student representative.
3 . Direct staff to return with recommended appointments to fill
the new student representative position and the existing
senior citizen and business representative positions.
DISCUSSION:
On February 18, 1992, the City Council considered a recommendation
by staff to remove the term limitation for the Cal Poly
representative to the Mass Transportation Committee (MTC) . Council
took no action on the recommendation and instead directed staff to
address various questions related to the status and membership
composition of the MTC. Attachment 1 outlines these Council
questions.
Recommended Modifications
Consideration of these questions has given staff an opportunity to
review various issues associated with the MTC. The MTC also
considered these issues during their meeting of March 18 . Based
on staff and MTC review, outlined below are recommendations
relative to the questions raised during the February 18 Council
meeting:
Committee Status. The MTC is already a permanent committee;
however, it is not a "permanent standing committee" , but rather a
"special purpose" committee. As a permanent standing committee,
City Council liaisons would be appointed to the MTC. The selection
of MTC members would occur thorough the Council Liaison
interview/recommendation process currently used for the other City
standing committees (e.g. , the Planning Commission, ARC, etc. ) .
Recommendation. The MTC recommends retaining its status as
"special purpose" committee for the time being, and staff concurs
with the recommendation. It' was the MTC's feeling that the current
process has worked well and should not be modified until the scope
Pit city of San t OBISpo
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Page 2 - MTC Changes
of the committee is modified to be less "specialized" . The
Committee still views itself as having a high degree of
responsibility for providing specialized advice to the Transit
Manager, and thus wishes to preserve the Transit Manager' s role in
the process of recommending appointments to the City Council. This
would be consistent with the appointment process used for other
special purpose committees.
However, the MTC does wish to establish more regular contact with
the City Council. Thus, in lieu of formal liaisons, the MTC would
like whoever the Council designates as its Regional Transit
Authority delegate to serve as the MTC's primary City Council
contact. Periodic attendance at MTC meetings would be encouraged
to discuss regional transit activities and other issues.
Membership. Although the enabling ordinance for the MTC is quite
specific as to membership, in practice the appointment process has
become too informal and somewhat inconsistent with the ordinance.
In addition, the MTC and staff feel that the membership structure
can be improved. The ordinance calls for the following membership:
- One person from California Polytechnic State University
- one senior citizen
i
- One person from the Human Relations Commission
- One person from the business community
- One person with technical transportation planning experience
- One disabled person
i
- One person from the general public.
In practice, there is currently no senior representation on the
Committee, and the BIA Executive Director has become the
"automatic" representative from the business community (without
formal appointment by the Council) . In addition, the original
basis for an HRC representative seems no longer as important, given
the disabled person representative, and especially if a senior
representative is added. With 71% of the ridership consisting of
students, even with Cal Poly representation, the lack of a student
representative is a noted omission.
Recommendations. Staff and the MTC suggest the following
membership changes:
The HRC position should be replaced by a student position.
I
��� ►�►i�lllll���i=���► city of san '- ,,s oBispo
M aim COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Page 3 - MTC Changes
A senior citizen should be appointed by Council to the
Committee.
A business representative should be formally appointed by
Council to the Committee.
Cal Poly should still be allowed to appoint its own
representative without the constraints of term limitations;
however, the appointment should be ratified by the City
Council. A letter from Cal Poly outlining their rationale for
requesting this modification is provided as Attachment 2 .
Expansion of MTC Responsibilities. The Council also asked staff
to consider the future role and. responsibilities of the MTC,
including perhaps transitioning to an "alternative transportation
commission" .
Given the very specialized membership of the current MTC, a more
broadly empowered "Transportation Commission" or "Alternative
Transportation Commission" would in essence require a complete
restructuring of the membership, or what would amount to replacing
the MTC with a new advisory body. Attached is a list of possible
tasks which could be assigned to such a commission and a listing
of the advantages and disadvantages of establishing such a
commission at this time (Attachment 3) .
Recommendations. Although the eventual creation of such a
commission might be beneficial, staff feels that such a change at
this time would not be desirable. The MTC concurs with this, based
on many of the reasons noted in Attachment 3 . Key reasons for
retaining the current structure are:
• A change now would dilute the very focused attention the
transit and bike programs are now receiving, based on their
specialized membership structures. This level of attention
is very important during this time of major transit and bike.
program growth. Any major change would disrupt progress.
• Because transportation related staffing is now spread in
several departments, it would be difficult to properly staff
a commission that had responsibility for programs that cross
numerous departmental lines. For example, it would not be
effective for the Transit Manager to provide full staff
support to such a commission, given its broader
responsibilities. Thus, from a staffing perspective, the
-�-3
city of san osispo
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Page 4 - MTC Changes
timing would be better if and when the City consolidates its
transportation related functions and related staff has an
opportunity to work as a unit for a couple of years. Then,
the item below could be better evaluated.
Depending upon the scope of such a new commission, it could
involve substantially more workload and an additional layer
of development review. Therefore, the formation of such a
commission should only be considered after very careful
analysis.
Meeting Schedule. The MTC is to meet on a quarterly basis. There
have been times it has met more often, and times it has met less
often (though not recently) . If the MTC's responsibilities were
to substantially increase, then the committee would need to shift
to monthly meetings.
Recommendation. The MTC objected to a monthly or bi-monthly
meeting schedule due to work related demands. Some members
indicated that they would have to withdraw if the meeting schedule
was expanded. Staff feels that the current schedule is adequate,
but can be made more formal. First, an absolute groundrule should
be that the MTC meet as needed, but no less than quarterly. Given
the number of issues before the MTC, staff estimates the need for
4 - 6 meetings over the next year, and additional subcommittee
meetings, as needed (subcommittees have frequently been used over
the last year to assist the Transit Manager in such tasks as RFP
preparation) . Second, the meeting schedule should be specifically
set at the beginning of each fiscal year, as opposed to the less
formal approach now used.
CONCLUSION AND FOLLOW-IIP:
While major changes are not recommended, the questions posed by
Council have given staff the opportunity to consider improvements
to the overall MTC membership and to correct existing
inconsistencies. other administrative changes are planned to bring
more structure to this committee to assure their input on the many
transit projects and priorities currently underway. The
designation of a Council contact will improve communication with
the City Council.
If Council concurs with the recommendations in this report, staff
will return with appointment recommendations to fill the student,
senior citizen, and business representative positions. Because of i

terms expiring at the present time, the recommended changes can be
made with only the HRC representative discontinuing participation
earlier than expected.
CONCURRENCE:
The Transit Manager and the MTC concur with the recommendations in
this report. Both the Human Relations Commission Chairperson and
the HRC's Mass Transportation Committee representative concur with
the addition of a student representative.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no significant fiscal impact associated with the staff
recommendations.

City Clerk

990 Palm Street
Post Office Box 8100
San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8100
Dear Ms. Voges:
I am significantly concerned to hear of your recent letter to Mr. Joseph C. Risser regarding his
ineligibility to be appointed to the Mass Transportation Committee. Mr. Risser originally applied for
appointment to this committee, eight years ago, as a citizen of this community to perform a dual role
as community representative and as the designated representative for California Polytechnic State
University. Prior to this time the University experienced a wide variety of levels of communication with
this committee and coordination between the campus and the city on this important issue was
intermittent.
During Mr. Risser's two terms on the committee, he has served an essential role as liaison for the
university to the committee and with the Transit Managers. He has been instrumental in the
establishment and maintenance of the current agreement between the City and Cal Poly for SLO
Transit services. Cal Poly faculty, staff, and students now account for over 70% of the ridership of
the SLO Transit system and we participate significantly in the funding of the operation of the system.
He has also served as Vice Chair and Chairman of the committee and represented the committee at
the Area Coordinating Council's Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee.
l have recently asked Mr. Risser to chair our Parking and Traffic Subcommittee (Public Safety Advisory
Committee) due in part to his longterm interest and relationship with SLO Transit. This committee has
as a part of its charge the responsibility to develop policy to address the Air Quality Control Board's
plan for San Luis Obispo, particularly in the area of transportation control measures. Increased
utilization of SLO Transit by the campus community is one of the goals that will be set and will
necessitate continued quality in our communications and contractual relationship.
I believe that it will best serve the City and Cal Poly to have continuity in our working relationship by
maintaining a University designated member of the Mass Transportation Committee. 1 would
appreciaze your consideration of reappointment of Mr. Risser as the Cal Poly Representative to the
City's Mass Transportation Committee. 1 have attached his completed application for reappointment
to a city advisory body for your convenience.
Thank you for your consideration of the university's request.

ADVANTAGES
• Consolidation of "advice" to Council - Bikes, parking, transit
• Centralized prioritization of transportation programs/projects
• "Delegate" some decisions from Council - less Council involvement in operations
• Relieve Planning Commission of some tasks - maybe

DISADVANTAGES
• Dilute focus on current specialized efforts: Transit, Bikes, Parking - Current
membership on these committees is designed to bring a specialized focus to
these programs.
Regarding above, bad timing: Loss of momentum on expanded Bike/Transit
efforts
• Circulation Element: 23 new programs currently proposed. Should wait until
they are firmed up before assigning commission responsibilities
• Organization of transportation programs not yet resolved
• Would be very difficult to staff presently, since staff is in different departments
(Transit Manager can't do it)
Possible conflict with Planning Commission - unless Circulation Element
transferred to new commission
If transferred from Planning Commission, disjoining long range transportation
planning from land use issues might not work
•
Significantly more staff time required, if responsibilities are large and meetings
frequent
Possible additional layer of development review
