COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
(Accessibility, Senior Services, and Community Issues)

Committee Members Present: Michael Guingona (Committee Chair), Shirley Harris

Other Board Members Present, Constituting Committee of the Whole: John Barbour, Jim Hartnett, Marc Hershman, Jerry Hill, Arthur Lloyd, Michael Nevin, Adrienne Tissier

Staff Present: George Cameron, Joan Cassman, Robert Doty, Fabian Favila, Gigi Harrington, Chuck Harvey, Rita Haskin, Aurora Jose, Martha Martinez, Ian McAvoy, David Miller, Michael J. Scanlon, Mark Simon, Ed Stewart, Bill Welch

Pledge of Allegiance
Chair Nevin called the meeting to order at 2:02 p.m. and led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Swearing-In of Board Members
Director Michael Guingona said that this swearing-in is ceremonial in nature because the board members have accepted the positions.

Public Comments:
  1. Jack Hickey, Sequoia Health Care District, objected to an appointment being made without offering the position to the public and interviewing applicants. He said he would like to offer his services for the seat to which Chair Nevin was appointed.
  2. Patricia Gray, Chairman of the Green Party of San Mateo County, asked that the public member positions, be reopened and 30 days be allowed for the public to apply. She said that to swear in Chair Nevin at this time would be against the rules and bylaws of the Board of Directors and in violation of the intent that the board have geographical diversity and public members who ride public transportation. She said she wanted to apply for the seat.

    Legal Counsel David Miller stated that the official swearing-in already took place following the official appointments made by the board at its December meeting. The swearing-in today is merely ceremonial.


  3. Lou Papan, Millbrae, said he carried the legislation that established SamTrans and it was not his intention that any particular area in San Mateo County be more represented than any other area. He objected to the confirmation of appointment of the public members inasmuch as the public was not allowed input.

    Mr. Papan inquired whether there was a public hearing prior to the nomination. Director Guingona responded that this appointment was agendized last meeting. Mr. Papan objected to the process and said the public would be better served if the nomination process is reopened and public input is allowed.

    Director Guingona said Mr. Papan's objection will be noted for the record.
Upon instruction of Director Guingona, the board secretary administered the oath of office of:
    Directors Harris - Public Member
    Director Hartnett - Cities Selection Committee-Southern
    Director Hill - Board of Supervisors
    Director Nevin - Public Member
    Director Tissier - Board of Supervisors
Approval of Minutes of Community Relations Committee Meeting of December 8, 2004
The committee (Harris/Hartnett) unanimously approved the minutes.

PCC, AL-Com, and ATAC Reports
Bill Welch, Manager of Accessible Transit Services, reported that last December, MV Transportation and Redi-Wheels staff, along with Mr. Dale Edwards of the Paratransit Coordinating Council visited three adult day care centers and sang songs of the holiday season. He reported that the recertification process has been going on for one year. There has been a gradual decline in the number of people applying for Redi-Wheels service as expected. Overall, the number of registrants declined from 7,800 three years ago to about 6,500 at present.

Director Hartnett asked for an update on the previously reported problems in the software used by Redi-Wheels for dispatching. Mr. Welch answered the problem surfaced during the fall. Currently, staff has been tracking each event that occurs. The Advanced Communication System (ACS) in place for Redi-Wheels creates a digital link between the dispatcher and the vehicle so that the driver gets updates on the status of the next pick-up. It brings tremendous advantage to the operation and has increased efficiency. Problems still occur between one to five times a month out of 22,000 trips scheduled which translates to 99.9998% accuracy. A report from Orbital is expected this week on this topic.

Director Hartnett requested a copy of the report when it becomes available.

Dale Edwards, Chair, Paratransit Coordinating Council (PCC), said the Consumer Corps that was established by the PCC in 1996 showed that all indicators are excellent, with Redi-Wheels meeting performance expectations. The Consumer Corps questions will be updated this year. Also, Mr. Edwards will report to the board on the PCC's "secret rider" program next time. Mr. Edwards further reported on the "Walk About and Talk About" event at the Serramonte Shopping Center that was attended by about 200 seniors in the county. He distributed SamTrans route maps, Caltrain timetables, the paratransit information guide and other transit-related materials. Mr. Edwards talked about Redi-Wheels and RediCoast and how they work, the process of becoming eligible for the service and how important these services are to the senior and the mobility-impaired population. He said he will continue working on this activity. He asked the board to let him know of specific events that he or other PCC members need to attend.

Citizens Advisory Committee Liaison Report
Ken Feldstein, Chair, Citizens Advisory Committee, congratulated the board members that were sworn in.

He reported that at the January 5 CAC meeting, there was lengthy discussion on how to build ridership. He said the CAC members suggested ideas on ways to make the riding experience better and attract more patrons. Mr. Feldstein outlined the suggestions, some of which were to promote the strengths of SamTrans - clean, efficient operation, on-time performance; target the low-income riders; work with corporations, hotels and restaurants to promote the service to their employees; advertise express commute services; promote the scenic routes along the Coast and events like Aņo Nuevo; promote and reroute some of the express service. He said the CAC would like to work with staff on the Grand Boulevard Project to improve El Camino service and consider bus rapid transit.

Mr. Feldstein said the CAC will create ad hoc subcommittees for specific periods of time to target specific situations, such as bus shelters, to monitor the shelters and make sure they are clean and functional; and El Camino service improvements, to make bus riding more attractive to passengers.

Director Hill requested copies of the list of suggested improvements. He said the CAC raised great issues and it would be nice for the board to look at them.

Director Tissier inquired whether there has been any discussion on the usage of bus shelters. Mr. Feldstein said the CAC will look at stops and evaluate them for cleanliness, ability of riders to board the bus, signage, route signs, schedules, and signs in Spanish. There was no discussion on usage.

General Manager/CEO Michael Scanlon said that the number of people using the station is the most critical criteria in establishing where bus shelters should be located. Another consideration is the weather.

Director Hartnett inquired if the CAC also has a "Secret Rider" Program. Mr. Feldstein said most of the CAC members have talked with the passengers. He is not certain whether they did it in secret. In his case, he identifies himself. Director Hartnett said he likes structured input from an unobtrusive approach, an input from just observing and normal usage.

SamTrans Performance Report
Robert Doty, Acting Chief Operating Officer, reported:
  1. Average weekday ridership is flattening out, indicating that the external elements that have caused the decline of ridership may be starting to turn around.
  2. Token usage is increasing.
  3. Missed schedule is nominal considering the average number (42,703) of monthly schedules operated.
  4. On-time performance exceeds the 85 percent target.
  5. Fleet reliability is extraordinarily good.
  6. While the number of total consumer reports was trending upward, there was a slight decline in complaints, indicating that there was more positive feedback about the service.
  7. The ACS was installed in the buses on January 1. It will provide discreet information about patronage behavior and trends.

    Director Guingona inquired how and where the number of people getting off could be determined. Mr. Doty said that the device SamTrans has is "onboard." It registers the fare. The device is different for off-loading.

    Mr. Doty discussed in detail the operation of the new fare collection system and outlined its benefits compared to the old method, which was labor-intensive. He said it is automated; it is a database that can be reconfigured; it has a detailed bus stop level data; it will create trending, and data will be immediately available. From this information, impacts could be mitigated and it would be easy to determine the true ridership data. He said that the automated fare collection system is a brand new tool that will enable staff to answer basic questions on what SamTrans service is and how it could be improved.

    Mr. Doty said that the transition would result to some variations in the counts within the next couple of months. Adjustments will be made.

    Director Harris said she thinks the ACS is an excellent system that will benefit the District in the budget and other areas. She asked if all the buses are equipped with the system. Mr. Doty answered it has been in full force since January 1.

  8. Over the six stations including Daly City, ridership was up 5.45 percent, which is about 2,000 riders increase from 39,300 to 41,500.
At the request of Director Guingona, Legal Counsel David Miller, responded to a letter by Patricia Gray concerning the appointment of board members. He said the comments from the public members and Ms. Gray suggest that the make up of the board is inconsistent with principles of geographic diversity. He said the record will reflect that the present make up of this board is not at all inconsistent with the principles of geographic diversity that govern the appointment process for SamTrans. Mr. Papan noted that he is familiar with the legislation that provides for the make up of this board. Mr. Miller read for the record the particular provision of the enabling legislation, to wit:
"Three members of the board are appointed by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, two of whom must be sitting members of the Board of Supervisors and the third member is to be a person with transit expertise."
Further, Mr. Miller said three other members also are appointed by another body, namely, the Cities Selection Committee. In that appointment process, the statutory intent is also very clear that each of the three members from the City Councils must be from three separate regions of the county - the south, central, and north.

The principle of geographic diversity among City Council members has been honored consistently since the inception of SamTrans. Those six members, in turn, appoint three public members. Additionally, geographic representation is provided for because of the three members of the public appointed by the other six members, one must be a resident of the Coastside. Specifically, there are three members from three regions and there is representation from the Coastside. Having two members from the Board of Supervisors inherently means that there are two members from different regions of the county, given the district elections of supervisors. Mr. Miller said that six of the nine members of this board are appointed by their respective agencies and those agencies have exclusive discretion and authority to pick their appointees within those standards.

Mr. Miller referred to the statement in the letter by Ms. Gray to the effect that the appointment process was dominated by the Board of Supervisors. He said that statement is wrong. The Board of Supervisors appoints only three out of nine members.

Mr. Miller said in embellishing upon the minutes of the last board meeting there was no law or process violated with regard to the appointments made last month. There is no statutorily prescribed process for the appointment of board members. The matter was duly agendized in keeping with the Brown Act. The record the board relied on in the case of Director Harris included her long-standing leadership in American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and long-standing service to this board. With respect to Chair Nevin, the board acknowledged his ongoing service to this board, as the chair of Caltrain, and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority. While the minutes of last meeting do not reflect those comments, they were in fact made by several members of the board verbatim and formed the basis for the decision as to the best interest of SamTrans. Mr. Miller said everything that has been done was lawful and in full spirit of what the statute prescribes.

Director Hill said he is proud of the make up of this board. He said this board has taken a leadership role in not being parochial and in looking at issues from a regional standpoint. Never in the history of his time has this board favored one particular geographical area over another based on the residency of board members. He is proud of the diversity in this board, diversity that if it were not for Daly City, would not include an African American member, a Filipino-American and a second woman. He said that with Mike Nevin's role this year as the chair of the JPB, the loss to SamTrans would have been great had he not continued in that role. The board is looking at the development of the right of way, the Grand Boulevard Project, the desperate housing needs in this county. This is an opportunity for SamTrans and the Transbay Terminal Authority. Without Mr. Nevin's leadership role and the District's participation at that level, nobody knows what would happen and how that would affect San Mateo County, Director Hill said.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Committee Members Present: Shirley Harris (Committee Chair), John Barbour, Jim Hartnett

Other Board Members Present, Constituting Committee of the Whole: Michael Guingona, Marc Hershman, Jerry Hill, Arthur Lloyd, Michael Nevin, Adrienne Tissier

Staff Present: George Cameron, Joan Cassman, Robert Doty, Fabian Favila, Gigi Harrington, Chuck Harvey, Rita Haskin, Aurora Jose, Martha Martinez, Ian McAvoy, David Miller, Michael J. Scanlon, Mark Simon, Ed Stewart, Bill Welch

Director Harris called the meeting to order at 2:54 p.m.

Approval of Finance Committee Minutes of December 8, 2004
The committee (Hartnett/Lloyd) unanimously approved the minutes.

Acceptance of Statement of Revenues and Expenses for November 2004 and Supplemental Information
Gigi Harrington, Chief Financial Officer, referred to the revised copy of the report distributed to the board. She said the revision proposes a decrease in fare revenue by $730,000. While the ridership figure seems to trend upward, it has been lower than initially projected for the first five months of the fiscal year. The district is about $450,000 below budget for fare revenue through the month of November 2004. A downward adjustment on this item is prudent at this time in the fiscal year. Ms. Harrington said the other proposed revision of note regards the budget for fuel. Staff anticipated that fuel costs would go down during this fiscal year, in part because of the presidential election. Fuel prices did just the opposite and increased to a high of $1.77 per gallon. At this time, fuel prices are going back down again. The proposed adjustment places the budget for fuel for the remainder of the fiscal year. The amount will be primarily offset by the salary savings.

The committee (Hartnett/Lloyd) unanimously recommended board acceptance of the report.

Authorize an Amendment to the FY 2005 Capital Budget Increasing it by $1,229,000 for the "Purchase and Installation Enhanced Bus Catalysts Project"
Fabian Favila, Capital Budget Administrator, reported that the amendment to the budget would allow the procurement of additional bus catalyst devices. Funds will be taken from the Congestion Mitigation - Air Quality (CMAQ), the Transportation for Clean Air Act and additional savings from prior year grants. Because the Transportation for Clean Air Act funds can be used as matching funds, there is no need for additional sales tax money.

The committee (Guingona/Hershman) unanimously recommended board approval of the amendment.

Authorize Filing of a Grant Application with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for $2,886,888 in Section 5307 and CMAQ Funds
Mr. Favila reported that approval of the action is necessary to fund the capital and operating programs and projects in the fiscal year 2005. The filing of application is consistent with the annual process to receive federal funds. There are four projects in the capital budget that directly receive federal funds.

The committee (Hartnett/Guingona) unanimously recommended board approval of the action.

Adjourned: 2:57 p.m.

Staff Present: George Cameron, Joan Cassman, Robert Doty, Fabian Favila, Gigi Harrington, Chuck Harvey, Rita Haskin, Aurora Jose, Martha Martinez, Ian McAvoy, David Miller, Michael J. Scanlon, Mark Simon, Ed Stewart, Bill Welch

Director Hartnett called the meeting to order at 2:57 p.m.

Approval of Legislative Committee Meeting of December 8, 2004
The committee (Lloyd/Harris) unanimously approved the minutes.

Adoption of 2005 Federal Legislative Program
Ed Stewart, Legislative Analyst, reported the district goals this year:

  1. To seek enhanced federal funding through the reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21).
  2. To emphasize the needs-based features of projects for federal transit program rather than have it be apportioned by other factors. This is critically important to urban states such as California and areas with high transit use like the Bay Area.
  3. Equalize treatment for tax subsidies for transit and auto commuters. Currently, a public transit commuter is eligible to receive up to $105 on fringe benefits for transit passes, while a car commuter can get up to $200 in benefits, tax free, for parking.
  4. Continue to seek funding earmarks for eligible projects. Staff will propose this year the funding of the Highway 101 auxiliary lane projects and Caltrain track improvements to enhance the Baby Bullet service.
  5. Support new federal funding for transit security that take ridership and risk factors into account, since the Bay Area has a large number of potential terrorist targets and high level of transit ridership.
  6. Support federal funding for the high-speed rail. The California State High-Speed Rail Authority is planning to submit a bond measure to the voters in November 2006 for state funding. If that should pass, and if federal funding becomes available, the district will have the opportunity to take advantage of those two revenue streams.
The committee (Lloyd/Harris) unanimously recommended board approval of the program.

Verbal Update on State Legislative Program
Mr. Stewart reported that the governor is scheduled to release his budget proposal on Monday that will close a $9 million deficit and a $109 billion spending program largely through borrowing and spending cuts. One of the programs that is going to be heavily borrowed from is transportation. His budget calls for full suspension of Proposition 42. This would be the second year in a row that the program has been suspended. The loss to transportation would be $1.3 billion overall. The funds are proposed as a loan to be repaid over the next 15 years.

The specific impacts to transportation from the governor's proposal are as follows: (1) The public transit account stands to directly lose about $126 million from the suspension of Proposition 42. (2) The high gas prices that were experienced last year produced a spike in gas tax revenues and $216 million of that money would ordinarily go to public transit. However, the governor proposes to divert that money for general fund debt reduction. Overall, state funding for transit operators will be about $171 million less than it would be under current law if all the governor's proposals are implemented.

Director Hartnett inquired what percentage of the total transportation fund is technically getting lost. Mr. Stewart answered, that the suspension of Proposition 42, on top of the loans in the past years, impacts about 75 percent of the overall state transportation program.

Verbal Update on Federal Legislative Program
Mr. Stewart reported that the Congress just reconvened last week. Three of the committees in the House of Representatives are now being chaired by California congressmen. The House Ways and Means Committee, in charge of tax proposals and tax writing legislations is chaired by Bill Thomas of Bakersfield. The House Rules Committee is chaired by David Dreier of San Dimas. The House Appropriations Committee is chaired by Jerry Lewis of Redlands.

He welcomed new board member Adrienne Tissier. Mr. Scanlon said Mr. Goode will leave an enormous void in this agency with his retirement. He called on Mr. Chuck Harvey, Chief Operating Officer, who thanked everyone for their concerns and good thoughts as he underwent a quadruple heart by-pass surgery.

Mr. Scanlon reported:
  1. For the United Way, the district was able to raise $48,717 this year, an increase of 28.3 percent from $37,978 last year. He acknowledged the district employees for their efforts in the SamTrans campaign, specifically Mr. Harvey, who chaired.
