Page 2 of 3 2024/25 and increasing by 3 percent each year, to $69,010 in FY 2025/26, $71,081 in FY 2026/27, $73,212 in FY 2027/28, and $75,409 in FY 2028/29. This amount covers the cost of the additional driver and the vehicle maintenance incurred on the proposed two days. Adding a second fully electric vehicle to the Pleasanton Rides fleet would contribute to the City’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 and the Alameda Countywide Transportation Plan by advancing clean energy and contributing to a climate-resilient Alameda County. Should the grant funding be awarded, staff proposes purchasing a second electric vehicle at an estimated cost of $180,000, including contingencies, in FY 2025/26. ACTC will review grant applications and award funding in late spring 2024 for the five-year cycle beginning with FY 2024/25 project funding. Staff requests retroactive approval from the City Council for its submittal to meet the January 31, 2024, application deadline. Staff will withdraw the application if the City Council does not approve. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Approval of this item would expand equitable access to senior transportation in Pleasanton as well as lower daily vehicle emissions, as recommended by the City’s Climate Action Plan 2.0. OUTREACH No outreach was conducted, as this item is an administrative matter of City business. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT This action advances the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goals of Building a Community where Everyone Belongs, Strategy 3 – Implement high-priority items from the Library and Recreation Department Strategic Plan; and Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 6 – Continue to implement priority items from the Climate Action Plan 2.0 to lead by example in environmental sustainability. This action also advances Library and Recreation Strategic Plan Goal D Organizational Effectiveness and Talent Management, Strategy 2 - Prioritize and implement recommendations based on findings in the paratransit study. FISCAL IMPACT The grant requires a 12 percent local match for the vehicle and 50 percent for operations; the grant also requires a commitment to using Measure BB reserves. If the full grant request is funded at $536,000, the City’s match would be $21,600 for the vehicle and $177,856 for operations ($199,456 in total). The City’s portion of the funding would come from the Measure BB reserve for paratransit which has a current fund balance of $337,338. City matching fund requirements would be spread over the five-year grant term and the City will continue to receive its annual Measure BB paratransit allocation. ACTC anticipates grant awards in late spring, 2024 and should execute funding agreements within three to four months of the announcement. If the funding application is successful, staff will recommend the City Council approval the agreement and authorize any necessary budget actions, including appropriation of funds necessary for local match and amendments to revenue and expenditure budgets to account for the grant funding.
