The agencies worked jointly to provide pazatransit services between the respective <br />jurisdictions during Pleasanton Paratransit Service's standazd hours of service. Since both the City's and <br />LAVTA's services have changed over the yeazs, it seemed an appropriate time to draft a new <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would reflect the current services offered. <br />The Commission was provided details of the assistance given to customers by LAVTA and Pleasanton <br />Paratransit Personal Care Attendants, reservations scheduling, service azeas, and Americans with <br />Disabilities Act (ADA) eligible persons. Ms. Deaton reviewed with the Commission the MOU and asked <br />that it support the document and forwazd a recommendation to the City Council seeking approval. <br />Commissioners Casper and Rowland discussed with Ms. Deaton the coordination of trips between <br />Pazatransit and LAVTA, and whether there were any unmet needs. Ms. Deaton discussed the difficulty <br />experienced with getting customers to the Kaiser Permanente facility in Walnut Creek, which requires <br />users to make two (2) transfers. She advised that Wheels currently has a direct connection from the <br />BART location to Kaiser, but only during specific times. There was discussion about possibly using <br />Measure B funds to help with this problem sometime in the future. <br />Commissioner Tenbrink commended Ms. Deaton on her hazd work and dedication to the Paratransit <br />program. <br />Ms. Deaton advised Commissioner Nagler of the good working relationship that the City has with <br />LAVTA, and indicated that she felt all items had been covered and a strong working agreement reached. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Tenbrink, seconded by Commissioner Casper, to support the <br />proposed Memorandum of Understanding for Pazatransit Services between the Livermore /Amador <br />Valley Transportation Authority (LAVTA) and the City of Pleasanton, and recommend City Council <br />approval of the document. <br />Human Services Commission Minutes <br />August 6, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />
