AGENDA REPORT
City Manager Approval
Item to be presented by:
Jeff Kolin
NEW BUSINESS
DATE: September 8, 1992
SUBJECT: REQUEST FROM VALENCIA TOWN CENTER FOR SHUTTLE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
Valencia Town Center has requested that Santa Clarita Transit provide a bus or van to shuttle
employees from a special employee lot to the employee parking entrance during the first four
days of full mall operation (see attached letter). Operationally it may not be possible to
provide a vehicle on Thursday or Friday, however, we can provide a vehicle on Saturday
and Sunday.
The main dilemma is the City's charter policy prohibits charters for profit businesses such as
the mall. However, since mall management has indicated a desire to promote transit usage,
we would like to cooperate with the mall in this endeavor. Valencia Town Center would
fully compensate the City for providing this service.
Authorize an exception to the City charter policy so that Santa Clarita Transit may enter into
a charter agreement with Valencia Town Center to shuttle employees between a satellite
parking facility and the mall.

Transit Director
City of Santa Clarita
Dear Ron:
Pursuant to your conversation, ValenciaTownCenter would like a proposal
on costs from the City of Santa Clarita to run a shuttle bus service from
remote parking for employees during the Grand Opening activities
September 24 -September 27.
Parking at the shopping center will be at a premium during this peak time for
our opening; we have arranged with Newhall Land and Farming Company, to
use the vacant lot across Valencia Blvd from the Center as off-site parking for
employees; the bus would run a shuttle service from this lot to a pre-
determined employee entrance.
Our immediate thoughts would be to run the bus from 7:30 am to 10:00 pm
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (we'd also like to include Sunday but
assume you do not offer service on Sunday), and would like an hourly rate
from you for the service. I assume the smallest bus you have would suffice.
If this service is agreeable with you, I'd also like to work with you on
installing some "propaganda" on the shuttle bus encouraging employees to
ride the bus on a regular basis.
Thank you for your assistance!
Very truly yours,
JMB etagill
