ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding a budget for a contribution to the transit fund for the Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) Public Transportation Services. (Tadeo A. De La Hoya, City Manager)
SUMMARY:
Service: Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) provides bus and transit services for the city and the surrounding county areas.
Amount: The city has contributed to YCAT since 2012 under an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). Last year the contribution was $70,573.00. The City of San Luis and seven (7) other entities entered into the IGA in 2012 with YCAT to provide regional public transportation. Under the IGA, San Luis is to contribute a share of funding YCAT's public transportation. Other contributions come from Yuma County, the City of Yuma, the City of Somerton, the Town of Wellton, the Cocopah Indian Tribe, Arizona Western College, and Northern Arizona University. Under the twenty-five year, IGA of January 1, 2012 (expiring January 1, 2037), a formula for the percentage of contribution is developed every year.
At the March 22, 2021, meeting of the Yuma County Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority, (or YCIPTA, the Board for YCAT) up for consideration was the possibility of a 25% increase for building construction. The Board did not decide. They requested more information. They met on May 24, 2021, and are not scheduled to meet until June 28, 2021.
A 25% increase would mean $17,643.25 more than last year (which was $70,573.00) for a total of $88,216.25.
Procedure of Approval: Under the IGA, the city's approval is to be by way of resolution and the city must not use federal money to pay for the contribution. Staff recommends approving a budget since there does not yet exist a formal request for a contribution.
