DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND For many years, 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. The SMP funds must be allocated through a local municipal agency and cannot be distributed directly to a non - profit organization. Therefore, the City receives the funds through an agreement with OCTA and through a separate but related agreement with OES reimburse OES on a monthly basis 0 ITEM 6/14/16 for completed services provided by a contracted transportation provider. Approximately $110,000 in Measure M2 funds are received by the City annually for this program. In the past five years, Community SeniorServ, a local non - profit which provides a meal program for Orange seniors contributed the 20% match and it has not been necessary for the City to utilize City funds for this match. This is not anticipated to change in FY17, however, the City must budget for the City match in the event the SeniorSery funding is no longer available or is insufficient for the match. OES will directly contract with an outside provider for transportation services for seniors 60 years and older within Orange City boundaries. These services will be used for, but not limited to, transporting seniors to the Orange Senior Center to attend the senior's congregate nutrition program during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Eligible trips with SMP funds include Senior Center activities, nutrition, medical, personal care and shopping. Trips will be provided Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. OES will pay the contracted provider directly for senior transportation services in an amount not to exceed the allocation of SMP funds provided by OCTA and the City's 20% match. OCTA may increase or decrease SMP funding based upon annual sales tax revenue. Over the past four fiscal years, the City has received the following amounts: FY 12 - $104,799.26 FY 13 - $104,918.52 FY 14 - $111,284.46 FY 15 - $116,909.26 Per the Cooperative Agreement with OCTA, the SMP funds must be used within a three year period. OES and the City will continue to communicate and work closely to monitor available funds for the program and ensure that all the requirements are met. The amendment term with OCTA and the Agreement Regarding Transportation Services with OES are for a five year period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021. The City Council is requested to approve the Amendment with OCTA in substantially the form of the attached draft amendment, which is scheduled for consideration by OCTA Board of Directors at their regular scheduled meeting on June 13, 2016. The Agreement Regarding Transportation Services is anticipated to be approved by the OES Board of Directors at their regular scheduled meeting on June 21, 2016. 8.
