6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. APPROVAL OF FINAL TRANSPORTATION ZONE APPLICATION FOR
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
City Manager Koski provided background information
stating that in June of 1985 the City Council adopted a
resolution supporting the formation of a transportation
zone steering committee for the San Gabriel Valley.
Appplication was made to LACTC to create the San Gabriel
Valley Transportation Zone, and LACTC requires that each
city involved in the Zone endorse its formation. The
proposed application identifies that current bus opera-
tions will be maintained, all line numberings, bus
stops, fares and passes will continue; there will be no
negative input on SCRTD employees; that continuity will
be maintained with the remaining routes; and that the
Zone will provide local control over transit services.
It is estimated that cost savings of approximately $14
million will be realized and this saving can be used to
maintain bus service, improve existing routes and add
new transit services and /or reduce fares. It is antici-
pated that the Zone will be phased in over two years and
several important services will be obtained by contract
from the SCRTD to ensure a smooth transition.
Councilman Gillanders moved to adopt Resolution No.
87 -2692, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMPLE CITY APPROVING THE FINAL ZONE APPLICATION AND TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE FORMATION OF THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
TRANSPORTATION ZONE JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY (JPA), sec-
onded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried.
Mayor Atkins emphasized that the Council was not commit-
ting funds at this time, but rather indicating the
City's interest in participating in the San Gabriel
Valley Transportation Zone JPA.
7. NEW BUSINESS:
