7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
For many years, Orange Elderly Services (OES) has offered transportation services for Orange
residents to the Senior Center for its congregate meal program. This service was coordinated,
administered, and operated by OCTA directly with OES, using Measure M sales tax revenue funds.
The City's only involvement in the program was a required 20% match of the cost of providing
this service.
Effective July 2011, OCTA no longer coordinated the senior transportation program and entered
into a contract with the City of Orange to provide funds directly to the City for the services. As
the City contracts with OES for senior programs and services, the City entered into an agreement
with OES at that time to administer the senior transportation program utilizing Measure M sales
tax revenue funds which the City receives directly. Approximately $110,000 in Measure M funds
are received by the City annually for this program.
On March 27, 2016 the OCTA Board of Directors approved new SMP Guidelines, requiring the
City Council and OCTA Board of Directors to approve the SMP Agency Services as part of a two -
step process in order for the City to receive the annual SMP funding. The SMP Agency Service
Plan details how and what trips will be offered and will serve as a replacement for the Scope of
Services in the Transportation agreement between the City and OCTA. The Transportation
Agreement with OCTA and the OES Transportation Agreement both expire June 30, 2016 and
will be brought forward for City Council approval at the June 14, 2016 meeting. Approval of the
SMP Agency Services Plan alone does not obligate the City to provide the services outlined in the
Plan, but is required to be approved by the City and the OCTA Board of Directors prior to the
approval and execution of the upcoming OCTA Transportation Agreement.
