Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council: BACKGROUND The City of Pleasanton operates the Pleasanton Paratransit Service (PPS), which provides transportation to Pleasanton/Sunol residents 60 years or older, and to disabled residents 18 years and older. The proposed FY 2008/09 operating budget is $730,643. Revenues for FY 2008/09 are anticipated to include $55,306 from MTC 4.5, $88,700 from Alameda County Measure B, $50,000 in fare box receipts, and the City's match of $536,637. The local match represents 73% of the total PPS budget. The Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) has established a funding formula for the distribution of Measure B (dedicated sales tax) funds to provide special transportation for seniors and persons with disabilities. Each eligible agency must submit a funding application (Attachment A), including an eligibility statement and required Board/Council Resolution (Attachment B), which is reviewed by ACTIA. Funding recommendations are then forwarded to the Paratransit Advisory Planning Committee (PAPCO) for consideration, and on to the ACTIA Board of Directors for final approval. The City of Pleasanton's FY 2008/09 Measure B application is for $88,700. A similar funding application and formula is used to distribute MTC TDA 4.5 funds (Attachment C). Claims are reviewed by MTC and forwarded to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for consideration and approval. The City of Pleasanton's FY 2008/09 MTC 4.5 application is for $55,306. Environmental Assessment As an existing/continuing program, PPS is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that may be required under this funding process. ubmitted by: . ,~ mes W.
