Bonczek, City Manager PREPARED BY: Tom Warner, Public Works Director MEETING DATE: October 23, 2001 AGENDA MEMO DATE: October 16, 2001 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider amending Ordinance 01-076 to allow Special Transit Service monthly passes for social service agency clients. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends amending Ordinance 01-076 to allow Special Transit Service monthly passes for social service agency clients. BACKGROUND On October 2, 2001, City Council passed Ordinance 01-076 increasing the regular and special transit fares. Although a monthly pass was established for the special transit service, clients of social service agencies were not eligible for the monthly pass. The reason for the restriction was due to our inability to track and bill the social service agency for only those trips related to the agency. In reviewing the Transit System's procedures, it was determined that by obtaining additional information when the request for service is received and modifying the records maintained by the driver, trips related to the social service agencies could be tracked. The social service agency could then be billed by the Transit System for transporting their clients to the agency. BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS ACTION City Council passed Ordinance 01-076 on October 2, 2001. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None. RECOMMENDED BY City Manager, Public Works Director, City Engineer, and Transportation Director.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: Section 1. THAT Ordinance 01-076 passed on October 2, 2001, amending Section 28-6(c)(1) of the Code of Ordinances, is hereby amended so that Section 28-6(c)(1)will provide that clients of social service agencies are eligible for special transit service monthly passes.

That if any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance, or the application of same to a particular set of persons or circumstances, should for any reason be held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of this ordinance, and to such end, the various portions and provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

Bonczek, City Manager PREPARED BY: Tom Warner, Public Works Director MEETING DATE: October 23, 2001 AGENDA MEMO DATE: October 15, 2001 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider two (2) resolutions supporting passage of Constitutional Amendment Propositions 15 and 2 on the November 6, 2001 ballot. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends that Council pass two (2) resolutions supporting passage of Constitutional Amendment Propositions 15 and 2 on the November 6, 2001 ballot. BACKGROUND Proposition 15 would allow the creation of the Texas Mobility Fund and implementation of the Toll Equity Act. The framework Texas Mobility Fund was established by the State Legislature as a means to fund more transportation projects in Texas. It would allow the State to issue bonds so that the construction of major highway projects can be accelerated. This fund would supplement the traditional "pay-as-you-go" method of financing highway projects. Action to put funds into the Texas Mobility Fund must come from the State Legislature. The financing tool known as toll equity allows roads to be built sooner and reduces congestion on existing roadways. Toll equity would free up more state dollars for other projects because the State's share of a toll project would be less than if the project was funded by fuel taxes alone. Currently, TxDOT can lend highway funds for toll projects but the constitution requires that such funds must be repaid. Foregoing payment to the State would make a toll project more viable because it would accelerate debt payment and hasten the production of toll revenue. Proposition 2 would allow the issuance of bonds for the building of roads in border colonias. The rate of inflation for road building costs is higher than the current rate on bonds. Building the roads with funds from bonds will cost less than waiting to build roads using the "pay-as-you-go" method. BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS ACTION None. f SUBSEQUENT ACTION None.
