Based on their experience in providing the same service two years ago, the County estimates a cost to the City in the range of $300-$500. Provided certain conditions are met by the Friendly Valley Chapter, and the trip would be available to the public, Proposition A funds could be used upon LACTC approval. I am in the process of contacting the LACTC for some indication as to whether they will approve such a request. According to the County, they did not experience a problem with this same request two years ago. I am available at your convenience should you have any questions. DEL:hds cc: John Medina Kit Nell
