P sident of Common ouncil ATTEST: City Clerk PRESENTED by me to the Mayor of the City of Richmond, Indiana this day of ,1987. APPROVED by me, Frank H. Waltermann, Mayor of the City of Richmond, Indiana thistL,± day of 1987. 64 Mayor ATTEST:') r* 24sz,-- ti City Clerl ROSE VIEW MANS/T 700 RICHMOND AVENUE RICHMOND, INDIANA 47374 (317)983-7227 Janet Sams —Manager DATE: May 28, 1987 TO: Members of Common Council FROM: Janet Sams, Public Transit Manager. , RE Salary Ammendment I am requesting that the Members of Common Council approve the addition of a job position, entitled "Operations Supervisor". The addition of this position is greatly needed if the progress of Rose View Transit is to continue. Over the past three (3) years that I have served as Transit Manager, we have made significant strides,including: 1. Changed the name of the System. 2. Changed the route structure to better serve the Richmond Community. 3. Increased ridership 27% over the past three (3) years. 4. Lowered the cost of passenger fares. 5. Increased overall fare revenues. 6. Cut the operating budget. 7. Established a new pass system for passengers. 8. Established advertising program, and sold all spaces on our buses. 9. Expanded our charter service. 10. Obtained five (5) new 21 passenger buses. 11. Will be obtaining one (1) new 29 passenger bus within the next two weeks. 12. Planning for the acquistion of four (4) new buses in 1988. 13. Looking at possibility of expanding service into both fixed route and demand response to enable us to provide service to outlying communities. Our system operates six (6) days a week, twelve and one half (12'/Z) hours per day. There are a total of fourteen (14) employees working for Rose View. There is only one supervisor.. Although I have delegated duties to the Secretary, Mechanic, and Maintenance person, there still exists more duties than one person can handle. There is not enough time in a day to do all the administrative, supervisory, and marketing duties that need to be done. The Operations Supervisor would come in at 5:30 a.m. and supervise the drivers, check routes, follow-up on complaints, do periodic route checks, route analysis, schedule route assignments, etc. This person would work split shifts, so as to be in at the times of shift changes for the drivers. The addition of this Supervisor would free more of my time to market the bus line, write grants and bus specifications, expand our service into some of the outlying communities, etc. The estimated local match in 1986, was $39,538.00. At the end of 1986, the actual amount that the City had to put in as a local match was 10,794.70. In 1987, the estimated local match is $13,860.00. However, the First quarter of 1987, showed the City's actual local match to be only $49.00. If the remaining three (3) quarters expenses and revenues stay constant, the City's share at the end of 1987, will be much less than anticipated. Three (3) years ago, out of sixteen (16) Section 18 systems, Richmond was ranked in the lower five. In 1987, out of sixteen (16) systems, Richmond, is ranked in the top five (5). If we want to be at the top of the systems in the State, we need to continue to work for success. If any of you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
