This proposal was t:o have been reviewed by the <br />Senior Citizen Boax•d for approval, but the meeting <br />was rescheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, January <br />20, 1987. Krisko ~;uggests the approval of the <br />contract contingent: upon the Board's support. <br />Krisko stated that with this contract, the City is <br />gaining a driver wYio will utilize the City's van <br />for the first four months of the year and after <br />that time, STS will be providing both a driver and <br />their own van. The City's van driver resigned in <br />December and staff felt this alternative would <br />provide a necessary service for less money. <br />During the four months that STS uses the City's <br />van, they will reirnburse the City for fuel and the <br />cost per mile of fixed vehicle costs for STS <br />funders' transportation. <br />Fares are voluntary based upon need. By PUC <br />requirements, they are not allowed to collect fees <br />and therefore it is structured as a donation to <br />anyone who can in fact make a payment. All <br />contributions would go to the STS program. <br />Sackett stated that: STS provides service to many <br />of the patients of Boulder Memorial Hospital and <br />STS does "an excellent job." The drivers are very <br />courteous and make sure the patient is properly <br />taken care of before leaving. <br />Hundley stated that: he had contacted Lafayette and <br />they feel the program has been a success. Staff <br />will check with other participating cities. <br />Areas of concern Council expressed included: <br />1) will handicapped equipment be required on the <br />STS van; 2) will seniors receive the priority ser- <br />vices represented; 3) are the fees strictly volun- <br />tary; 4 ) do the the; fees go directly to STS; 5 ) <br />does this service ~?rovide the seniors with the <br />necessary transporttation when needed. <br />Szymanski moved that action on this contract be <br />postponed until the' next Council meeting after the <br />seniors have had tlhe opportunity to review it and <br />staff clarify areas of concern within the proposed <br />STS contract, and ]have the services continue on a <br />temporary basis; and notify STS that Council is <br />pleased with the service thus far.
