[MOTION]
PCC and
PCC Advocacy Reports
Bill Welch, Manager of Accessible Transit Services, reported the PCC minutes
that are in the packet show PCC accomplishments for the last two years. He
pointed to the experimental taxi service supporting Redi-Wheels that started in
July. He stated it brings some savings to the District. He cited staff’s
on-going effort in educating Redi-Wheels patrons, especially those who use
wheelchair, on securement and safety.
Dale Edwards, chair of the Paratransit Coordinating Council (PCC) informed
the Board of the work program that will be approved by the PCC. It will be
presented to the Board later. He recognized MV Transportation staff for their
vigilance in making sure accidents do not happen. He stated the PCC will
appoint a representative to serve on the SAMCEDA committee working on the
reauthorization of Measure "A".
Caltrain Performance Report
Chuck Harvey, Chief Operating Officer, reported on-time performance remains
very strong at 95 percent. While ridership is down, it is showing some signs of
recovery. For the first six months of the year, there have been three
fatalities and four injuries involving Caltrain. On fare collection, TVM
revenue dramatically increased, sales from conductors are down at eight percent.
The remainder are sold at stations and ticket-by-mail. The automated system of
collection relieves conductors of these responsibilities and allows them to
focus on customer service. Mr. Harvey reported the fare increase has been
instituted, off-board discount of $3 started on July 1, TVM machines have been
successfully reprogrammed, and the ticket validity period has been changed.
Train schedule changes will be implemented on August 26. Mr. Harvey indicated
new locomotives are coming. He also gave an update on the San Francisco shuttle
routes, the successful negotiation on the continuation of the a.m. shuttles and
the limited p.m. schedules to be operated by Muni. He also announced the first
weekend shutdown of Caltrain service on July 6 and 7 for the rail construction
work and the operation of replacement bus service from San Jose to San
Francisco was successful.
Multimodal Ridership Report – May 2002
Mr. Harvey reported SamTrans ridership is still at a 10 percent decrease.
Paratransit ridership continues to be very strong. Caltrain shuttle service
within San Mateo County is up 6.4 percent, indicative of some recovery, as a
result of realignments done with the routes. Shuttle ridership is beginning to
strengthen.

2002
The Committee (Guingona/Teglia) recommended Board approval of the minutes.
[MOTION]
Approval of Statement of Revenues and Expenses for May 2002
Roger Contreras, Chief Financial Officer, reported Operating Revenues are on
target with the revisions made this month. Estimates for sales tax receipts
were reduced to reflect the slowdown in economy. Notwithstanding this reduction,
a deficit of $2 million is predicted because money set aside for paratransit
fund will be lower than budgeted. Expenses have year-to-date favorable
variances such as wages and benefits due to vacancies and hiring freeze on
selected positions, less use of consulting time, savings in fuel and lubricants
and savings from Caltrain shuttle program, Redi-Wheels, uniform allowances and
other costs. All in all, total expenditures are lower by $2.6 million when
compared to the year-do-date budget.
The Committee (Guingona/Teglia) recommended Board acceptance of the report.
[MOTION]
Call for Public Hearing – BART/SFO Extension Fare Structure
and Service Levels
Chuck Harvey, Chief Operating Officer, proposed establishment of a public
hearing on August 14, 2002 to establish the final fare structure of the
surcharges that will apply along with the BART base fares for the BART/SFO
extension project when it opens. He noted a public hearing is also scheduled
later today to cover the parking program. This proposed public hearing on fare
structure and service levels is the second and final component in preparation
for the opening of the SFO extension in late fall, 2002. General Manager/CEO
Michael Scanlon advised there is a chance that after the public hearing today
on parking, the proposal on fare structure and service levels may be amended
slightly. The amendment will be taken to the Board.
The Committee (Teglia/Lloyd) recommended Board approval of calling the public
hearing.
[MOTION]
Ratification of District Insurance Program for FY 2003
Gary Lambert, Manager, Risk Management, reported existing liability program
remains unchanged with $100 million coverage and $1 million deductible. Premium
payment will increase by about 40 percent. Since September 11, most transit
agencies have seen a 200 to 300 percent increase in premium cost coupled with
approximately 50 percent decrease in coverage. The District is able to maintain
the same full level of coverage with a 40 percent increase on the liability
side and stay within the approved operating budget. This year, earthquake
coverage is eliminated resulting in cost savings of $555,000.
Chair Hill asked what is included in the coverage. Mr. Lambert responded all
District buildings are covered, with a $30 million limit and a five percent
deductible.
The Committee (Nevin/Lloyd) recommended Board approval of the Insurance
Program.
[RESOLUTION]
Authorization to File FY 2001-2002 Federal Transit
Administration Security/Emergency Management Grant Application in the Amount of
$50,000
Ian McAvoy, Deputy Chief of Development, reported the fund will be used for
security drills. It is a Federal allocation with no local match. The District
will work along side the Joint Powers Board.
The Committee (Teglia/Guingona) recommended Board approval of filing the
application.
[RESOLUTION]
Application for Clean Air Funds, BART West Bay Extension
Outreach
Rita Haskin, Chief Communications Officer, advised that the funds will help
with the promotion of the West Bay BART Extension when the stations open – to
get more people on to BART and on to connecting Caltrain and SamTrans buses.
The Committee (Nevin/Barbour) recommended Board authorization to file the
application.
[RESOLUTION]
Authorization to Enter into a Contract with the County of
San Mateo to Receive a $60,000 Grant to Fund Operations of the East Palo Alto
Shuttle
Mr. Harvey remarked this is an example of good cooperation between SamTrans and
the City of East Palo Alto, and the Department of Human Services of San Mateo
County. Due to poor performance, this service was previously recommended for
elimination. However, through the cooperation and efforts of East Palo Alto,
the shuttle was rerouted. A grant was received from the County Human Services
Department that would keep the service alive at a net zero effect on the
District operating budget.
The Committee (Nevin/Guingona) recommended Board authorization to enter into
the contract.
[RESOLUTION]
Award of Contract to Shaw/Yoder, Inc. and Cline & Duplissea
for Providing On-Call Legislative Advocacy Services for a Two-Year Base Period,
with Three One-Year Option Terms for the Shaw/Yoder Contract
Cheryl Cavitt, Manager of Contracts and Procurement, reviewed the competitive
procurement process that was observed in getting this contract. Four bids were
received. One was withdrawn during the evaluation process. Staff is proposing
award of the contract to the two highest ranked firms.
The Committee (Nevin/Lloyd) recommended Board approval of the award of
contract.
[RESOLUTION]
Award of Contract to Compucom for Microsoft XP Operating
License Pursuant to the California Master Purchase Agreement for the Upgrade of
the Existing Microsoft Operating System
Ms. Cavitt stated the contract is for a not-to-exceed cost of $162,000.
Procurement will be in accordance with the California Master Purchase Agreement
(CMAS).
The Committee (Lloyd/Nevin) recommended Board approval of the award of
contract.
[RESOLUTION]
Authorize the District to Use the Competitive Negotiation
Procurement Process to Procure Up to Sixty 40-Foot Heavy-Duty Transit Coaches
Mr. Harvey proposed procurement of the coaches using the Competitive
Negotiation Procurement Process in accordance with the Public Contract Code
Section 20217 in lieu of competitive bid. SamTrans has had the authorization to
do this for some time but it requires Board approval to use the process. He
stated it is vital to do a competitive negotiation as opposed to straight
Invitation for Bids for the reason that there is tremendous amount of
uncertainty in the public transit manufacturing process right now. There are
several bus builders that are not financially stable and not delivering on time.
The District has to buy and have these buses delivered by the end of calendar
year 2003 in order to meet the emissions target and the emissions laws.
Director Nevin asked if these buses would have surveillance equipment. He
commented having this kind of equipment helps increase security of the
customers in the buses and makes the work of the prosecutors in the District
Attorney much easier. Mr. Harvey responded the District started with the
standard VHS video tape type surveillance in a dozen buses.New buses are
equipped with full digital video cameras. Images are recorded on a hard drive
like a computer that can be saved. The 55 articulated buses that are being
built now will have these video surveillance cameras. The new equipment will
also be provided in the new buses that are being procured.
Director Schmidt asked if the buses are clean diesel propulsion and what
happens to the old buses. Mr. Harvey responded this delivery will be clean
diesel propulsion. They will be as clean as a CNG bus. The old buses get
auctioned and sold off. Some that are coming out of service may be recycled,
torn down and scrapped. Some may be sold to properties that cannot afford new
buses. They do the repowering.
The Committee (Lloyd/Schmidt) recommended Board approval of the proposed
action.
[RESOLUTION]
Amendment of Salary Ordinance and Associated Personnel
Actions
Monica Colondres, Director of Human Resources, requested that this item be
taken up after the closed session on collective bargaining.
General Counsel David Miller suggested if the Committee is willing, this item
be referred to the Board without recommendation and the matter be taken up by
the full Board following the closed session.
The Committee (Teglia/Guingona) approved referring this item to the full Board
as suggested by counsel.

The Committee (Schmidt/Guingona) recommended Board approval of the minutes.
[MOTION]
State Legislative Affairs Monthly Report
Ed Stewart, Legislative Analyst, reported the Senate passed the budget package
last month, then they adjourned for a recess until August 5. The Assembly has
not yet acted on the budget. Discussions are continuing. Mr. Stewart stated the
Governor proposed to bridge the general fund deficit with a number of loans.
The largest loan is $1 billion from the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund. The
loan will be repaid in the year 2006. The State Highway Account will also lend
$173 million to the general fund to be repaid by June 30, 2005. The Senate has
included language that would require these loans to be repaid with interest.
Also, the State Transit Assistance program was bumped up slightly. The Governor
had proposed $98 million for this program statewide. The budget package
approved by the Senate includes another $5 million, for $103 million total.
This means there would be slightly more money in this fiscal year for the
SamTrans and Caltrain operating budgets from the State Transit Assistance
Program. The Senate is in recess, so they are not considering any bills; the
Assembly is in session but only to consider the budget bill.
Mr. Stewart advised that Senate Bill 1856 proposed by Senator Costa would
provide $9 million in State funds for State High Speed Rail System. The bill
passed the Assembly Transportation Committee on June 24 and is now in the
Assembly Appropriations Committee. The bond measure has been amended to delay
the bond issue until 2006 and the vote on the bond that would be required
probably will be scheduled for 2004.
SB 1491 which would create a regional transit policy board was scheduled for
hearing in the Assembly Transportation Committee last month. It was pulled by
Senator Perata after the chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee
informed him there were not enough votes for passage.>br>
Director Lloyd asked if the bill would come up again. Mr. Stewart responded
this is the last year of the two-year session. If the bill does not move this
year, it is dead and will have to be reintroduced.
Verbal Report on Federal Legislative Affairs
Mr. Stewart also advised that a meeting is scheduled this month among the
delegates to discuss the earmark request for the fuel bus demonstration project
that is being pursued with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
However, the appropriations process at the Federal level will be delayed
because the Senate is still debating on the anti-terrorism bill. Both houses
will be considering legislation to create a new Homeland Security Department.
The proposal is to consolidate several agencies that have domestic security
focus. Once the homeland security issues are resolved, the appropriations bills
will be taken up. The defense bill will probably be the first one to be
considered, pushing back all other Federal spending measures including
transportation.
Director Lloyd asked if some of the Amtrak security money was allocated to
Homeland Security. Mr. Stewart responded there is money for Amtrak in the
Supplemental Appropriations Bill for security. Separate from that are bills
reauthorizing Amtrak operations for the next fiscal year.
Mr. Stewart brought up the expiration next year of TEA-21, the Federal
Transportation Act. The committees in the House started holding informational
hearings on the reauthorization effort. Testimony in the hearings supported
continuity of funding flexibility and guarantees for transit programs.

Resolution
Resolution No. 2002-39: The Board (Hill/Nevin) unanimously approved the

PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed BART/SFO Extension Parking
Program
Carter Mau, Senior Planner, reported the purpose of the public hearing is to
receive testimony on the proposed BART/SFO Extension Parking Program at the
Colma, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae BART stations and the Colma
Park and Ride lot in conjunction with the BART/SFO Extension opening. He stated
SamTrans has the authority to establish parking charges at the SFO Station
parking lots. He described the parking policy, outlined the parking program and
discussed the financial impact to SamTrans. Net revenues from parking fees will
be split 50/50 between BART and SamTrans except for the Colma Park and Ride lot.
He discussed how the program and operating procedures were developed and
outlined the various means adopted to inform the public of this public hearing
today. He noted that six months after its implementation, the proposed program
will be carefully re-evaluated. The General Managers of SamTrans and BART can
adjust the charges as necessary. Also, he informed that the BART Board will
also approve a similar parking policy at their July 25th meeting. It is
anticipated that the award of the parking operator contract will take place in
August (next month).
Ken Feldstein, Foster City, said BART has become so expensive. Cuts have been
made on District express and local service because SamTrans is paying BART. San
Mateo County riders will pay $1.50 service charge to ride BART. This time,
riders are asked to pay more parking fees than the other counties in the system.
He asked the Board to amend the SamTrans agreement with BART.
Nadia V. Holober, Millbrae, a Caltrain commuter, stated when BART opens, BART
and Caltrain will have a combined station at Millbrae. She requested that when
the operation starts, commuters be allowed to use their monthly parking pass
and that an area be designated for the Caltrain parkers. General Manager
Michael Scanlon responded that the initial intent was to make the parking lot
available to both BART and Caltrain parkers. However, this matter will be taken
into consideration in negotiating with BART. Mr. Harvey informed that at this
time, there are people surveying the lot and counting the number of monthly
passes that are being used for parking at Millbrae. The data will be used in
negotiations with BART.
Director Nevin commented the idea of having a monthly pass is to encourage
people to buy it and to use public transit consistently. He suggested staff
look at the cost and make it advantageous for someone to buy a monthly pass.
Mr. Mau responded this proposed parking program is on an experimental starting
point, and after seeing what the demand is, staff will revisit and make
adjustments as necessary.
Director Schmidt proposed reserving spaces for Caltrain monthly pass holders to
make it easier for people who are already using Caltrain; at a rate that is
close to the current rate, rather than the BART rate. Mr. Scanlon commented
staff will do the best they can in the negotiation to reserve some number of
parking spaces for Caltrain users at what the Caltrain rate would be.
Chair Hill commented based on the discussions, the Board is directing the
General Manager to work with BART and determine the number of spaces that could
be set aside for Caltrain users.
In connection with remarks pertaining to SamTrans joining BART, Mr. Nevin
indicated that the whole process of BART coming to San Mateo County has been an
overwhelming success. He pointed that with the contract that exists between San
Mateo County Transit District and BART, the taxpayers of this County should be
overwhelmed by the deal.
General Counsel David Miller, stated the public has been afforded the
opportunity to address the Board on the subject matter, all legal requirements
associated with the establishment of the proposed program have been satisfied.
Mr. Scanlon informed that after this resolution was put together, BART had
given their General Manager discretion to lower and raise some parking rates,
particularly with regard to the amount of the Monthly Reserve Program. He
requested that he be given the same level of discretion in order to align his
authority with that of BART’s General Manager. It is important because they
work in partnership and will work together after six months on the changes. He
stated a supplement may be added for the next public hearing that would take
the discretion to as high as $105 a month for a reserved parking, only if the
market could bear it. He asked the Board to include in the amendment the
ability to amend the public hearing for next month, to include authorization
for the General Manager to have more discretion than what was asked for and
approved today.
Attorney Miller suggested as a matter of procedure, that the recommendation of
the General Manager be just added to the motion that is coming from Finance but
the public hearing request for the surcharges would include Mr. Scanlon’s
suggestion. Director Schmidt proposed incorporating in the resolution the
matter of Caltrain reserved parking in accordance with the Board discussion.
The Board (Nevin/Teglia) unanimously approved closing the public hearing.
There were no further discussions. The Board (Guingona/Nevin) unanimously
passed the following resolution:
Resolution No. 2002-38: Adoption of BART West Bay Parking Program and an
Amended and Restated Codified Tariff to Establish Parking Fees at Selected Park
and Ride Lots and BART Stations.
REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER/CEO
General Manager Scanlon gave the following report:
- Recognized Bill Welch and Jim Gallagher for orchestrating the recognition
ceremony for Marianne Mannia, and staff artist Armando Delgado, for sketching
her portrait.
- The American Public Transportation Association has awarded SamTrans with
a Certificate of Achievement for being a finalist for the Gold Award
presented to the transit system with the best overall safety record. The
certificate was presented by Chair Hill to Jeff Johnson and Sharon
Kohlmannslehner, who represented everybody in the District.
- He honored the members of the first SamTrans Toastmaster charter named
"A Toast to Transit". The District Governor presented each of them with a
Certificate of Membership.
