COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
March 3, 2014 9 a i IGA for Art Shuttle Cost Sharing
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Community Development Department Harold J. Stitt, Senior Planner
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City and the Regional
Transportation District (RTD) for funding of the Englewood Circulator Shuttle by Ordinance 50, Series of
2004, by Ordinance 66, Series of 2007, by Ordinance 10, Series of 2008, by Ordinance 8, Series of 2009,
by Ordinance Number 4 Series of 2010, Ordinance 5, Series of 2011, by Ordinance 9, Series of 2012, and
by Ordinance 3, Series of 2013 Council approved by Motion, in August 2004, a contract for transit
services with Laidlaw Transit Services and subsequently extended this contract by Resolution No. 87, Series
of 2005, by Resolution No. 77, Series of 2006, by Motion on December 3, 2007, by Motion on March 3,
2008, by Motion on April 6, 2009. Council approved by Motion on December 21, 2009, a contract for
transit services with MV Transportation, Inc., and subsequently extended this contract by Motion on
February 22, 2011, by Motion on March 5, 2012, and by Motion on February 4, 2013.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends Council adopt a Bill for an Ordinance authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the City of Englewood and the Regional Transportation District (RTD) for cost sharing for
operation of the art shuttle for 2014.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
This IGA with RTD is for the operation of the art shuttle for calendar year 2014. Under this agreement, the
shuttle will continue to provide the current level of service operating every 15 minutes, Monday through
Friday, 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. RTD will reimburse the City 100% of all net operating costs as set forth in
Exhibit B of the IGA. Net operating expenses exclude administrative costs, marketing and promotional
materials cost. As with prior agreements, the City will also provide fuel to eliminate state and federal
gasoline taxes, reducing fuel costs. The City will reimburse RTD an amount equal to the local fares that
would have been collected had the shuttle operated as a fare service rather that free service. The amount
of the compensation was determined through a survey of riders conducted in October 2013. The survey
results indicated the number of riders that did not have a bus pass or transfer and would be subject to the
standard, reduced senior or student fare. For calendar year 2014, the lost fare amount equals $59,838 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
RTD will reimburse the City for all contract and fuel costs less the lost fare amount. For the contract period
this lost fare amount is $59,838 and is included in the approved 2014 Community Development
Department budget. The contract continues the same level of service operating Monday through Friday,
6:30 am to 6:30 pm at no cost to riders.
