<br />Mr. Paul Marsh, General Manager of San Bernardino Transit System, made a presentation to the Council members
<br />for the operation of a Dial -A -Ride System in the City of Colton, in conjunction with the existing S.B.T.S.
<br />service in our City.
<br />Mr. Marsh presented each Council member with a written report including three separate alternates to be considered,
<br />with cost estimates and proposed routes, as outlined on maps displayed in the Council Chambers defining the
<br />proposed Dial -A -Ride system.
<br />Mr. Marsh advised that Federal funding for the proposed system can be obtained through Section 5 funding and
<br />SB -325 funds, with 50 percent of the total cost for services funneled through S.B.T.S.
<br />Discussion followed regarding future SB -325 funding for transportation service in the City of Colton, continued
<br />S.B.T.S. service, and a proposed Dial -A -Ride system.
<br />Mr. Marsh stated that he is available at any time to explain these programs in greater detail and answer any
<br />questions in this regard.
<br />Mayor Beltran stated that he would suggest setting up a workshop or adjourned meeting to discuss this matter
<br />in greater detail, as the City has received many telephone calls with regard to the change in certain bus
<br />routes and the bus service.
<br />On Council consensus, an adjourned meeting was scheduled for Monday, May 10, 1976, at 7:30 p. m., in the
<br />Council Chambers, to further discuss the possibilities of implementing a Dial -A -Ride system in the City of
<br />Colton.
<br />City Manager Huffaker advised that Item No. 10 on the Agenda, a letter from Mr. Don Duenez, also concerns the
<br />change in bus routes in our City, and possibly this matter could also be handled, or answered, at the adjourned
<br />meeting on Monday evening.
<br />Council members directed that Mr. Duenez be notified of the meeting to be held on Monday evening.
<br />Legislation
<br />LAFCO - Special Districts
<br />City Manager Huffaker read a letter dated April 28, 1976, from Mike G. Jimenez, City Councilman of Fontana and
<br />LAFCO representative, advising that at a LAFCO meeting held April 14, 1976, a resolution was passed, by a 3 to
<br />2 vote, initiating consideration of rules and regulations pertaining to independent special districts if the
<br />Commission acts to enlarge the commission by adding two special district representatives.
<br />Mr. Jimenez was requesting that our City Council be present at the LAFCO meeting to be held May 12, 1976, when
<br />this process will be explained, and also that our City forward a letter indicating our position on this matter
<br />to our supervisor and the members of LAFCO.
<br />Council members were against the addition of two special district representatives and expressed interest in
<br />attending the meeting scheduled for May 12, 1976.
<br />Planning Director Williams stated that he has reviewed the Rules and Regulations of LAFCO relating to independent
<br />Special District representation, and he feels that the City should recommend certain changes in these rules
<br />and regulations, should they be approved and adopted.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, that the City Council go on record as being
<br />opposed to the addition of two Special District representatives on the LAFCO Board. Vote was unanimous.
<br />Mayor Beltran advised that in the near future there will be two appointments coming up, one on the Inland
<br />Manpower Association of SANBAG, and the other to replace Councilman Jimenez on the LAFCO Board.
<br />Mayor Beltran stated that if there are no objections from the other Council members, he would like to recommend
<br />that Councilwoman Cisneros be appointed to serve on the Inland Manpower Association of SANBAG for the City of
<br />Colton. Council members were in agreement with Mayor Beltran's recommendation.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, to recommend for appointment to the LAFCO Board,
<br />Councilman Jim Hayes representing the City of Colton. Vote was unanimous.
