CITY OF
PARKS AND
RECREATION DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Commission
FROM:
BY: Michael Sargis, Parks And
Recreation Director
DATE: May 8, 2007
SUBJECT: 3rd
Amendment to the Inter-Local Agreement between the City and the County to
extend the term of the Community Shuttle Bus Program
In October of 2001, the City began operating one
Community Shuttle Bus under the Broward County Transit Community Shuttle
program. At the start of the program,
the County provided the bus and the City funded the program with Developer’s Road
Impact fees. The first Inter-Local
Agreement between the City and the County to operate this program was a 3 year
agreement as the funding available through the developers was just enough to
support the program for three years.
In April 2004, the City Commission entered into the
1st amendment to the agreement when the County gave us the second bus to operate
a second Community Shuttle Bus. Under this amendment, the County also started
to provide the funding of $20 per hour per bus to operate this program. In September 2004, the Commission authorized
the 2nd amendment to this agreement, which extended the contract up to Sept.
30, 2007.
Recently, we received a request from the Broward
County Office of Transportation to enter into the 3rd amendment and authorize
the extension of the contract for another year form October 1, 2007 through
September 30, 2008. The rest of the terms of this agreement remain the same.
The agreement extension needs to be returned to the County no later then June
15th, 2007.
The total cost to operate each bus in 2007/2008
fiscal year will be $33 per hour - out of which the County will pay $20 and the
City will pay $13 per operating hour, per bus -
resulting in total cost of $60,840.00 to the City to operate both buses.
We do realize that the upcoming Property Tax
Reform will create significant budgetary constraints for us and we may have to
eliminate or reduce City services like the Community Shuttle Program in the
future. If and when that happens, this agreement will be terminated or amended.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends Commission’s
consideration and approval of the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor and
the City Manager to enter into the Third Amendment of the Community Shuttle Bus
Program agreement with
