In July 2014, City Council approved a two-year Agreement with Cabco Yellow, Inc., to provide transportation services for the SMP at the H. Louis Lake Senior Center. The transportation services were split funded through the Orange County Transportation Authority, SeniorServ, and the City of Garden Grove for two (2) twelve-month periods beginning July 1, 2014, and ending June 30, 2016.

Funding for transportation services for the City’s SMP at the H. Louis Lake Senior Center will expire on June 30, 2016.  On June 28, 2016, City Council will consider an Amendment to the Agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for additional grant funding for the City’s SMP for the H. Louis Lake Senior Center for an additional five (5) twelve-month periods beginning July 2016 through June 2021. The total grant funding provided by OCTA for each year is $183,225. Additionally, staff anticipates receiving an additional $21,000 in grant funding from SeniorServ for transportation services during fiscal year 2016-2017.   

The current Agreement between the City and Cabco Yellow, Inc., provides the City with the option to extend the agreement for an additional three years, one year at a time. Staff would like to request that City Council approve Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Cabco Yellow, Inc., which will extend the term of the agreement for the first option year, beginning July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, and include the new funding amounts for the City to compensate Cabco Yellow, Inc. an amount not to exceed $204,225.  

Funding for transportation services for the City's SMP will continue to be split among the City, OCTA, and SeniorServ. OCTA will provide grant funding for the City's SMP through June 2021, while SeniorServ will provide annual grant funding.  During Fiscal Year 2016-17, OCTA will provide $183,225 for the twelve-month period; SeniorServ will provide approximately $21,000.  The City is required to provide a 20 percent match for the OCTA grant funding a total of $39,391, which can be in-kind or financial.  The match will consist of an in-kind match of staff services with a value of $39,391 that is budgeted in the General Fund.  Total available funding for the SMP during Fiscal Year 2016-17 will be $204,225.

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Approve the attached Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with the Cabco Yellow, Inc., for transportation services  for the City’s Senior Mobility Program at the H. Louis Lake Senior Center, in the amount not to exceed $204,225 for Fiscal Year 2016-2017; and

• Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 on behalf of the City, including making minor modifications as appropriate and necessary.
