AGENDA REPORT ' 19? v
CITY OF MOORPARK -/
ACTION:
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Assistant to the City Malhatp..r
DATE: November 29, 1994
SUBJECT: Consider Revisions to the VISTA-East Cooperative
Agreement
Background
In December 1993, City Council approved the VISTA-East Cooperative
Agreement for bus service between Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand
Oaks, Agoura Hills, and Westlake Village. At that time, Moorpark's
expected share of the matching funds for the two-year demonstration
period was approximately $10,200 ($5, 100 per year) . The City
Council identified Local TDA funds as the City's source for the
matching funds.
Recently, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved funding
for extending the VISTA-East bus service to the unincorporated
community of Oak Park. Since this service was not included in the
original Cooperative Agreement, each of the parties to the
Agreement must approve the change.
The VISTA-East operator, Antelope Valley Bus, has indicated that
extending the bus route to Oak Park will not require an additional
bus and therefore will not increase the total cost of the two-year
demonstration project. Extending bus service to a County
unincoporated area requires the County to be included in the cost
splitting formula which is based on population (formerly, the
County's participation was only administrative) . The County's
financial participation will decrease the other participating
jurisdiction's share of the match. The City of Moorpark's
estimated share of the match is now $9,738 ($4, 869 per year) for
the two-year demonstration period.
If approved, a revision will be made to Section 3 of the Agreement
to adjust the local match figures and Attachment A which identifies
the bus route.
The request to extend the VISTA-East bus service to Oak Park was
reviewed and approved by the VISTA subcommittee and by the Ventura
County Transportation Commission. The final decision rests with
the original parties to the Cooperative Agreement.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approved the revisions to the
VISTA-East Cooperative Agreement to extend bus service to Oak Park
and authorize the Mayor to sign the revisions to the Agreement.
