Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
Approve an agreement with the County of Los Angeles to provide public transportation
service in unincorporated areas in an amount not to exceed $2,200,000, and authorize the
City Manager or designee to execute the Agreement, or modify the award in the event that
- issues of impossibility of performance arise, subject to City Attorney approval.
2. Decrease County Contributions revenue account 700-4425.001 by $100,000 to reflect the
$2,200,000 revenue to be received from the County of Los Angeles in fiscal year 2011-12 for
public transportation services provided by the City in the unincorporated areas of the Santa
Clarita Valley.
BACKGROUND
In August 1991, the City assumed responsibility for public transportation services in the Santa
Clarita Valley from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works. In return, the
County provides funds for service in the unincorporated areas. Based on the current level of
public transportation service provided in the unincorporated versus incorporated area, the
maximum County contributions will decrease by $100,000, due to an annual re-evaluation of
jurisdictional shares. The re-evaluation showed a decrease in the level of service provided in the
unincorporated area due to recent annexations and the elimination of Route 8, of which the
County paid a percentage.
APPROVED
This funding covers jurisdictional shares of operations and administration as follows:
• 14.78 percent of local bus service costs
• 22.97 percent of commuter express bus service costs
• 11.95 percent of paratransit (Dial -a -Ride) service costs
• Bus procurements shared by County using above allocations
• 15 percent administrative overhead fee
City staff work closely with the County to ensure the level of public transportation services meet
the needs of County residents and that the City is properly compensated for the services provided
in the unincorporated areas of the. Valley.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.

public transportation services.
