The report includes a series of recommendations which should improve and more closely integrate operations of all transit systems and points out the benefits of consolidation. It was generally recognized by the Board that it was unlikely the systems will be fully consolidated in the near future,however, there are a number of intermediate steps that would be of benefit to all parties. The Board directed SLORTA staff to work with the transit operators and the staff of the various transit systems, with emphasis on the following major items which have the greatest potential for improvement of operations. 1) Investigate joint use of the San Luis Obispo maintenance facility by both SLORTA and San Luis Transit. 2) Investigate the possibility of joint dispatching,planning,marketing, and phone information for all systems within the County. 3) Investigate sub-areas such as north county, central county,north coast and south county, where various operations might be efficiently consolidated. 4) Investigate the possibility of combining transit management and administrative services, marketing, grant writing,purchasing,printing and insurance services. With this direction, SLORTA staff will be working with San Luis Obispo city staff to see if an agreement can be reached on many of these issues. atmg SLOCOG MEETING SCA-3 At its meeting of 11/3/99 the Board approved moving ahead with a contract f services to provide research regarding the transportation needs and the desires of the public concerning the possibility of imposing a ''V2 cent sales tax for transportation purposes. It was the feeling of the majority of the group that SCA-3 may be revisited early in the next legislative session or placed on the ballot by initiative. Therefore, it would be prudent for SLOCOG to • move ahead with the study which gives necessary background in anticipation of a possible ballot issue in November 2000. Council will recall that I was appointed the delegate (with John Dunn as alternate) to the steering committee for this study. 1999 Transportation Funding Cycle The staff reviewed for the Board the various funds available for programming in the Fall of 1999. Currently, there is $3.7 million available with requests from various agencies totaling$9.7 million. The staff reviewed the guidelines and the rating process for submittals, since only approximately 1/3 of the projects proposed can be funded. San Luis Obispo has submitted projects for: a) Los Osos Valley Road/101 interchange PSR b) Traffic signal master plan system C) Railroad Walk of History property acquisition d) South Higuera Street sidewalk improvements San Luis Obispo city staff also submitted an item for preliminary design and environmental review for the Prado Road interchange project. Although this will be designed and constructed by the developer of the Marketplace, there is some possibility that the city could receive partial funding for design and construction of this project. City staff is currently negotiating with SLOCOG staff on this item. • DR:ss DATE 'l'®C`6ES � a��5. on 2e�c Dawn REpont aaCOUNCIL ❑CDD DIR 6YCAO ❑FIN Dl.l November 10, 1999 1?AC ORNEY o PW FiRr ' OKLERKICRIG ❑POLICE C:;= TO: Council Colleagues 0A EAM ❑REC DIA ❑UTIL DIR ❑PERS DIR FROM: Ken Schwartz /�� w�. SUBJECT: Downtown Association Board of Directors Meeting of 11/9/99 I continue to be amazed at the amount of work that is accomplished by the Downtown Association officers and committee personnel. Three things continue to be upper most on their minds: 1) Thursday night activities and particularly how Thursday night activities on Garden Street impact the business community in a negative fashion. No one has found a solution as yet. The problem focuses on young people who congregate in Garden Street. 2) Restrooms - They are looking forward to construction of restrooms in the portion • of parking lot behind Goodwill Industries. 3) Parking - Three items are of concern: a) The shortage of parking that will occur as result of the Higuera Street bridge proj ect. b) Anxiety about getting the Marsh Street annex underway. c) The sequencing of the Copeland Project. Some of the Board did not understand that if the project does proceed, the Palm Street subterranean parking structure would need to be in place prior to the closing of the Court Street parking lot. Again, the Downtown Association folks appear to be a very hardworking group of people. KS:ss RECEIVED N U V 1 0 1999 SLO CITY CLERK r .. _ .. �. , __
