Attest: c4I-L-O-Ti/I,-,‹ Geor/Van deVoorde Mayor El n ( EEFFB 1 Agenda Item No. 1) ((,' January 6, 1994 TO: Mayor and. Members of the City Council FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: 1994 Local Share Dial-A-Ride Agreement PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to submit to the City Coun- cil the 1994 Pace Dial-A-Ride Local Share Agreement. BACKGROUND In 1993 Elgin Township had entered into an agreement with Pace for the Township to provide local funding to maintain the operation of the Elgin area Dial-A-Ride service. Due to financial difficulty experienced by the Township, the City agreed to loan the Township $6,741.00 late in 1993 in order for the Dial-A-Ride service to operate through the end of 1993. Elgin Township did not budget funds in 1994 to provide for the local share necessary to maintain the operation of the Dial-A-Ride program. If a local share funding source is not identified the service would cease operation. FINANCIAL IMPACT Initially Pace anticipated that the local share would be approximately $63,000. Following a review of the method of allocating certain expenses and the transfer of certain ele- ments of the operation to the Dundee Township Dial-A-Ride service, the local share for 1994 has been set at $12,500. The expenses for the local share will be charged to fund 010-6902-719-84-01 (General Fund contingencies) . r Mayor and Members of the City Council January 6, 1994 Page 2 r RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Mayor be authorized to enter into a local share funding agreement with Pace.
