Authorization
REQUEST:
The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting that the City
Commission approve a Supplemental Appropriation from the General
Fund Reserve in the amount of$ 12,500 to fund the Senior Transportation
Service through remainder of FY 04.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is to approve needed funding for the Senior
Transportation Service for the remainder ofFY 04.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. On March 24, 2003, the City Commission approved an agreement with MV
Transportation to provide Transportation services for the Winter Springs Senior
Transportation Program at a cost of$ 43.24 per hour.
. The program began in April, 2003 with an average of 11-12 seniors per trip.
. On September 22, 2003, the City Commission approved an addendum to the MV
Transportation Agreement at the cost of$ 75.41 per hour.
. The number of seniors using the service increased to an average of 16-17 senior per trip.
. The increased cost and the increased number of users has resulted in a shortage of
budgeted funds because it takes longer to pick-up and return the seniors.
. Staff estimates that $ 12,500 is needed (2,500 x 5 months) for the remainder ofFY 04.
FUNDING:
A total of $ 12,500 is requested as a Supplemental Appropriation from General Fund Reserves to
fund Senior Transportation through the remainder ofFY 04.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Parks and Recreation Department is recommending that the City Commission approve a
Supplemental Appropriation from General Fund Reserves in the amount of $12,500 for Senior
Transportation Services.
Based upon the escalated cost of the program we need to determine if a more cost effective
method of providing this service exist for future years of the program.
