On June 28, 2016, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with OCTA that provided the City with additional grant funding for the SMP at the H. Louis Lake Senior Center for an additional five twelve-month periods beginning July 2016 through June 2021.

The OCTA has requested to amend Exhibit A of the Agreement, which is the Senior Mobility Program Agency Service Plan. The amendment will delete one section from the Service Plan under Item 5, Fare structure, "which is $12.00 for a one-way trip within the City of Garden Grove. For one-way trips outside of city limits there is an additional charge of $2.50 per mile."

In October 2017, OCTA reviewed the City's Fare Structure listed on the Service Plan, and determined that the prices listed could potentially change, therefore this section should be eliminated and replaced with “The SMP fare structure is based on a per trip charge.” This amendment allows the City to implement fare structure changes, and will not require additional amendments to the Agreement.

Funding for transportation services is split between the City and OCTA.   During the first twelve-month period, OCTA provided the City an estimated amount of $157,564 in Measure M2 funds, and $25,661 in local funds, for a total amount of $183,225 for Fiscal Year 2016-17.  The City is required to provide a twenty (20) percent match for Measure M2 funds. The match during Fiscal Year 2016-17 was a total amount of $39,391 that was provided as in-kind staff salaries budgeted in the General Fund.

 It is recommended that the City Council:

• Approve the attached Amendment No. 2 to Cooperative Agreement No. C-1-2472 with the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding of the City's Senior Mobility Program at the H. Louis Lake Senior Center; and

• Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2 on behalf of the City.
