Presentation by Pace Regardinq Para Transit Service in Elqin
Florence Boone, Chairman of the Pace Board of Directors,
addressed the Council regarding the fact that Elgin Township,
which had been Pace' s funding partner for the Elgin Dial-a-ride
service this year, would not be able to continue funding
assistance after September 30, 1993, because of its financial
difficulties . Pace requires that the local community contribute
a portion of the funds for dial-a-ride services, and in a
majority of the six counties that Pace serves, the township
governments provide the local match. Ms. Boone stated that the
dial-a-ride service would be discontinued after September 30,
1993, unless another unit of local government was willing to
assist with funding. The local share for October through
December 1993 is projected to be $6,741.22 .
Councilman Gilliam made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Yearman, to loan Elgin Township the sum of $6, 741.22, so that
the Township can continue to support the dial-a-ride service
through December 31, 1993 . Yeas: Councilmembers Fox, Gilliam,
Popple, Schock, Walters, Yearman, and Mayor VanDeVoorde. Nays:
