RECOMMENDATION
3 . Direct the Community Development Director to re-negotiate with A.C. Transit, BARTD,
West Cat and County Connections on the funding of the Martinez-Richmond bus line.
2. Direct the County Administrator to include the funding of the Martinez-Richmond bus
line as a budget policy item on the Budget Committee' s Agenda.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The first recommendation, if successful , will reduce the County's unfunded budget request
by $28,000. The second recommendation will place this item on the budget committee's
agenda for their deliberations. .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACR6ROUND
On April 8, 1985, the Board of Supervisors adopted the recommendations of the Internal
Operations Committee regarding the UCSSO transportation contract. Part of the recommendation
was to reprogram any funds saved in the UCSSO contract to insure that an adequate
transportation system continue to be available to serve the general transportation needs
between Richmond and Martinez.
On June 3, 1985, the Finance Committee recommended and on June 10, 1985 the Internal
Operations Committee endorsed, to terminate the transportation contract with UCSSO effective
August 31, 1985. This was based on the budget constraints placed on the Health Services
Director to reduce its general fund expenditure by over $4 million in fiscal year 85-86.
Because of this, there are no funds available to contribute to the Richmond-Martinez bus
line.
It is our understanding that both A.C. Transit and BARTD has pledged substantially more
funds than their share of costs under the present funding formula. Our recommendation will
authorize the Community Development Director to renegotiate the funding formula to reflect
the lack-of funds in the County.
