MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor and City Council Parks & Recreation Department 0 October 1, 1987 TRANSPORTATION FOR STAR CLUB PROGRAM STEVEN KUENY City Manager CHERYL J. KANE City Attorney PATRICK RICHARDS, A.LC.P. Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer As the City Council is aware, the Parks and Recreation Department has been operating the STAR CLUB program for over two weeks. This program, which provides supervised after -school recreation for grades Kindergarten thru sixth grade, has been well received by the residents of Moorpark. The program currently services 40 children in 33 families in Moorpark and has a waiting list of 19 families. The Moorpark Unified School District indicated in discussions before the program began that the STAR CLUB participants could be transported by the MUSD bus service. Unfortunately, the transporting of the children has impacted the school bus system to the point that the district can no longer provide this service. It is not an issue of cost but rather shuttling their regular bus users. Because of this the school district has notified us they will not be able to transport STAR CLUB participants as originally agreed upon after October 9, 1987. In the original development of STAR CLUB, transportation was a vital ingredient to the program. This is reflected by the fact that 33 out of 40 participants rely on this service and a decrease in enrollment can be expected without transportation services. Attachment I indicates the September projected budget for STAR CLUB. This reflects typical monthly revenues and expenditures throughout the school year. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 t To proceed with the operation of the program two alternatives may be considered. 1) Contract with Santa Barbara Transit to transport STAR CLUB children to the program site. The YMCA, which has a similar program to ours at Flory school, is interested in sharing the cost. The monthly cost would be approximately $1,200 if we proceed with sharing the cost of $2,400 month for the service with the YMCA. To recover this additional expenditure, an additional charge of $30 per participant will be added to the present $120 STAR CLUB fee. It is projected that this program cost to parents is still very reasonable. 2) Notify parents that transportation to STAR CLUB will no longer be available. RECOMMENDATION Proceed with Option 1 and contract with Santa Barbara Transit and authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement with concurrence of City Manager & City Attorney.
