The meeting of the Ozaukee County Transit Committee was called to order by Vice Chair Leider at 8:00 am in Room 118 of the Administration Building.

Invoice: Motion made by Supervisor Brooks, seconded by Supervisor Richart, to approve the November invoice in the amount of $43,784.92 and a November invoice of $15,057.16. Motion carried unanimously.

Curt Green explained his request for getting his payroll invoice paid more frequently than the monthly meeting of the committee. For 2003 G & G will be paid on the basis of an hourly rate multiplied by the number of actual program hours. Green would like to be paid twice per month after submittal of an invoice. The committee agreed to allow the invoice to be processed administratively, subject to quarterly review by the committee.

Operation Report: There were a total of 8,354 rides provided.

The fare increases for 2003 was previously discussed during the public hearing portion of the agenda. It was also decided to add the $0.25 fee increase to the UPASS and Commuter Value Pass. In addition, the committee agreed to establish a fare of $1.00 for the elderly and disabled to comply with the half fare requirement that Ms. Kellner had explained earlier in the meeting

Dreblow discussed the steps being taken to implement the change of vehicle maintenance to the Highway Dept. Staff had discussions with Modern Equipment regarding the possible use of a portion of the building for vehicle storage. Heated, indoor space would be available and the pro rata share of rental and utility costs would be approximately $637 per month. In preparing prior estimates, a cost of $1000 per month had been estimated. The committee generally favored the use of the Modern Equipment space, and agreed to consider it at a later meeting.

In response to a letter from Board Chair Wirth, Staff will meet with the administrative staff at MATC to discuss their request for shuttle service.

It was determined that the notification received from the Lutheran Home about their intended purchase of an ADA van for their residents would not impact the County Shared Ride Taxi program.

The use of taxi vehicles for the transporting of meals for Aging Services was briefly discussed. There will be a test run done on December 27. It is yet to be determined how the costs for providing this service will be charged out.

The next meeting of the Transit Committee will be held at the Highway Department meeting room on January 17, 2003, beginning at 8AM.

After further discussion it was decided that staff will review this issue and work towards moving the insurance coverage to the county.

Bus Service:

Operation Report: May ridership was 7,778. Motion made by Mr. Richart, seconded by Mr. Stumpe, that 2002 Festival Service fares match those being charged by MCTS. Motion carried.

Advertising: Sharon reviewed the current status of the bus advertising. Paul Roback is preparing a news release alerting all community event organizers that free space is available on our buses if they are interested in using it, although they will be responsible for posting and production costs. Interested participants will call the Transit office for more information. Inside advertising will be handled directly between the communities and OBIE Media.

Purchase of Buses: Sharon presented information on the purchase of the last three buses from this purchase order. Mr. Richart suggested purchasing one additional bus. Mr. Richart moved, seconded by Mr. Stumpe, that the purchase of buses be reduced from three buses to one bus. Mr. Stumpe requested that the question be called. Motion carried, with Mrs. Leider voting nay.

Vehicle Insurance: Curt discussed the situation with vehicle insurance. Since the last meeting he has been able to obtain the extra insurance coverage; however he is not clear as to whether or not the county’s vehicles can be exempted from his insurance policy. Curt’s insurance company has raised the question of whether or not having cars instead of vans raises our insurance costs. Sharon will check with our insurance carrier prior to the next committee meeting.

Operation Report: The Shared Ride Taxi and Shuttle Statistical Report was reviewed. Regular taxi ridership for May was 4,750; shuttle ridership was 655 for a total of 5,405. Sharon mentioned concerns about "general complaints" that come in and encouraged the supervisors, if they hear such complaints, to request that the concern be more specific.

Mr. Uselding asked why the radios have not yet been purchased. Sharon explained the reasons for the delay. The Committee requested that Sharon forward a memo to the Finance Committee asking that $25,300 be released from the "deferred" budgets so that the new radios and control station can be purchased, in addition to requesting that Dwayne install 4-5 radios that he has in his inventory.

Invoice: Motion made by Mr. Stumpe, seconded by Mr. Richart, to approve a May payroll invoice in the amount of $42,695.50 and a May invoice of $17,682.27. Motion carried

Denial of Service: Curt presented information on a client in a wheelchair where Curt has some safety concerns. Is a policy necessary to minimize unsafe situations? The Committee requested that Sharon discuss with Dennis Kenealy the impact of ADA on these situations and whether or not a hold harmless waiver would be appropriate.

2003-2007 RFP: Mr. Uselding discussed his reasons for wanting to change the RFP to have a single option instead of the present three. Motion made by Mr. Uselding, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to delete Options 1 and 2 from the RFP, leaving a single option with the county providing maintenance and office space for the program. Mr. Stumpe called the question. The motion was tied, therefore the motion failed.

Joint Meeting with Highway Committee: The Committee was unclear as to the purpose of joint meetings with the Highway Commission. Mr. Uselding will pursue and report to the Committee in July.

Any Other Business as Authorized by Law: Rose mentioned that the Public Transit Advisory Committee will be meeting on Thursday, June 27. The major issue at this point seems to be a proposed Park & Ride lot in Mequon. The Committee feels that a lot at Venture Court is not feasible. The Committee agrees that the lot belongs at the junction of I-43 and Mequon Road.

The August 9 meeting, to review the Taxi Proposals, will start at 10 AM.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:15 AM.

Minutes of the meeting of April 12 were reviewed. Motion made by Mr. Stumpe, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to approve the minutes. Motion carried.

Bus Service:

Operation Report: March ridership was 8,426 and April ridership was 8,224. Sharon and Tom discussed bus advertising and the possibilities of offering space to the Ozaukee County Tourism Council. Mrs. Leider suggested that Paul Roback be used as the coordinator instead of a representative from the Tourism Council. Consensus was to direct OBIE Media to sell all the spaces on the bus for the rest of this year and offer space to the communities for next year, with the community assuming all production and posting costs. After November 1, 2002 OB IE Media should sell space on curbside for a month at a time only. Mr. Wirth suggested that parameters be set for definition of non-profits. Mr. Wirth left the meeting. Motion made by Mr. Stumpe, seconded by Mr. Richart, to inform OBIE Media to sell all advertising space for the rest of this y ear and have staff develop a plan for donating advertising space for next year to non-profits with the non-profit assuming all costs of advertising. All sales on curbside will be month to month after January 1, 2003. Motion carried. Motion made by Mr. Brooks, seconded by Mr. Stumpe, that the county donate advertising space subject to the Transit Committee approving all tourism event applications that are submitted by December 31 of the year prior to the event. Motion carried.

Invoice: Motion made by Mr. Stumpe, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to approve the March invoice in the amount of $49,689.87 and the April invoice in the amount of $50,197.35. Motion carried.

Curt discussed the problems he is having in obtaining a $4 million-umbrella policy. Mr. Brooks wants legal counsel review of whether hold harmless clause is effective. Dennis Kenealy arrived at the meeting to discuss this issue. Motion made by Mr. Brooks, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to amend the contract, subsection 14d. to read that Ozaukee County will provide a $4 Million Umbrella-Policy, removing this item from the contract. Motion carried.

Operation Report: The Shared Ride Taxi and Shuttle Statistical Report was reviewed. Regular taxi ridership was 4,725; shuttle ridership was 657 for a total of 5,382.

Invoice: Motion made by Mr. Stumpe, seconded by Mr. Richart, to approve an April payroll invoice in the amount of $21,755.93 and an April invoice (including one payroll in May) of $53,504.66. Motion carried

Motion made by Mr. Brooks, seconded by Mr. Stumpe, that Ozaukee County will provide two vehicles and request that the Historical Society reimburse the county for one vehicle at a cost of $104 and that G & G Enterprises donate the cost of the other vehicle. Motion carried with Mrs. Leider voting no.

Mrs. Leider reported on the Public Transit Advisory Committee meeting held on May 15, 2002. Mrs. Leider requested that the item of Other Business be added to the agenda.

The Village of Grafton voted against accepting the federal grant for the proposed commuter stop. According to WisDOT, this grant cannot be transferred to Ozaukee County; the county would have to apply separately for funds for this purpose. Discussion held on any other possibilities.

Vehicle Insurance: Quotes on the county providing the comprehensive and collision insurance instead of our vendor have been received. At his current rates, our rates are not lower than our vendor’s; although the vendor’s rates may increase as of May 1. Our vendor will receive his new rates prior to May 1; therefore the comparison of rates will be placed on the May agenda and the Committee can then decide whether or not to provide the insurance directly.

Cost Analysis of Older Vehicles: Curt presented information on the cost of operating the older vehicles that the county owns. These costs will be analyzed in terms of the amount of insurance that should be carried and whether or not these vehicles should be kept. The Committee agreed that these vehicles should be kept the rest of this year. Curt asked the Committee if they wanted new signage put on the older vehicles since the present signage is disintegrating. Curt will work on installing reasonably priced signage on these vehicles and present this to the Committee at the May meeting.

Advertising Policy: Ed Butler from Obie Media was present to discuss advertising issues. Obie Media’s contract with Milwaukee County Transit was renewed for a five-year period in April 2001.

Commuter Center: Mr. Gottlieb was present to discuss the Memorandum of Understanding between Ozaukee County and the Village of Grafton. Mr. Gottlieb discussed the action taken by the Village of Grafton Public Works Committee. Recommendations will go to the Village Board on Monday, March 18 for their approval. Once the Village gives approval, they will start working on site acquisition. Motion made by Mr. Richart, seconded by Mr. Uselding, that subject to approval by the Administrative Coordinator and the Corporation Counsel, the Memorandum of Understanding for the Grafton Commuter Center project be approved. Motion carried.

Operation Report: The Shared Ride Taxi and Shuttle Statistical Report was reviewed. Regular taxi ridership was 4352; shuttle ridership was 628 for a total of 4,980.

Invoice: Motion made by Mr. Uselding, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to approve the February invoices in the amount of $18600.64 and $43940.30. Motion carried.

Purchase of Radios: Duane Willborn was present to discuss the present radio situation. He is hopeful that there will be about 11 radios available. It could be one month or more before these radios become available. There is a question of ownership that needs to be decided by the T.R. committee. Motion made by Mr. Uselding, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to start the process of applying for federal funds through Section 53.07 for the purchase of radios. Motion carried.

Staff is recommending that the 2:31 PM NB trip be rerouted to run through downtown Milwaukee before it heads north. This would give us an earlier NB trip from the downtown area. This could be achieved without any additional cost as the bus has a long layover in Port Washington. Motion made Mrs. Leider, seconded by Mr. Uselding, to change this route so that it loops through downtown at no added cost to the program. Motion carried.

Advertising Policy: Mr. Richart presented a report on the meeting he and Sharon had held with staff from OBIE Media and his recommendations. This matter was tabled for a decision until the February Transit Committee meeting.

Vehicle Insurance: Dennis Kenealy investigated our liability coverage and the county does have liability coverage; he is uncertain about collision and comprehensive. The committee requested that Dennis review the comprehensive and collision insurance also and questioned why we would pay G & G Enterprises for our liability coverage if we are already covered. This item will be placed on the agenda for the February Transit Committee meeting.

Operation Report: The Shared Ride Taxi and Shuttle Statistical Report was reviewed. Regular taxi ridership was 4079; shuttle ridership was 640 for a total of 4,719. Mr. Uselding requested that the Transit Committee members tour G & G’s facility. This will be planned for the March meeting.

Transfer of Funds: Sharon presented information to the committee about 2001 revenues and expenditures for the taxi and bus systems. Expenditures for the taxi system are greater than anticipated revenues while expenditures for the bus system are less than anticipated revenues. Motion made by Mr. Uselding, seconded by Mrs. Leider, to transfer $19,000 from the bus system to the taxi program. Motion carried. Questions were raised about the possibility of using surplus county radios until we are able to purchase our new ones. Sharon will check with John Buhler in order to determine if there are any surplus radios which we could use.

Reduced Rate Passes: The Committee considered offering a pass at a discount of $2.00 ($20. worth of rides for $18.) No decision was made and this issue will be placed on the February Transit Committee agenda.

WETAP Application: At the last meeting Sharon reviewed a proposal to offer expanded taxi service utilizing a WETAP grant. A 25% match is required. Discussion was held with Fred Hesselbein, Community Programs Director and Carol Steube, Director at Portal. They both stated that their organizations do not have any additional funds that they could allocate to meet this match. After further discussion, motion made by Mrs. Leider, seconded by Mr. Uselding, to transfer an additional $10,500 from the bus system to the taxi program to cover the match requirement for the WETAP application. Motion carried.

Performance Measures: Sharon presented information to the committee on performance measures that were developed by the state. Ozaukee County is in compliance with the measures. Copies of the report will be made and distributed to all committee members. Sharon will check with Al Beck to determine if this information will be covered in his report.

Staff from the Land & Water Conservation Dept. will be present at the next meeting to discuss SMART GROWTH.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:15 AM.

Respectfully submitted,

Sharon Gilman, Director
