Agenda 03/22/2016 Item #17C 3/22/2016 17.C.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board enact an Ordinance which converts the Public Transit Advisory
Committee from an ad hoc committee to a permanent advisory board; appoint the current five
members of the ad hoc committee to the permanent advisory board, together with one additional
member; and approve a Resolution of appointment of these members to this Committee.
OBJECTIVE: To establish a permanent Advisory Committee to address Transit efficiencies and future
funding alternatives to meet Community and service needs,and to appoint the initial membership.
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 22, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) directed the
County Manager to establish an Advisory Committee for the County's Transit system to provide input to
staff to assist in identifying ways to improve the system and serve as advocates for its effectiveness.
On February 26,2013,the Board adopted Resolution 2013-50,creating an ad hoc Public Transit Advisory
Committee (PTAC) intended to sunset one year from the date of its first meeting. However, due to the
positive response and the contributions made by the Committee, the Board extended the sunset date
annually since the committee's establishment. Most recently, Resolution 2015-79 extended the sunset to
July 16,2016.
Since its establishment the ad hoc PTAC guided the Transit system through the following improvements:
• Comprehensive Operational Analysis adopted and implementation—
o Renumbering of routes;
o Adjusting time points;and
o Implementing route to provide beach access.
• Modified Trolley Wrap Design for Bus—
o Resulting in improved quality product that is less expensive and last longer than the
original decals.
• Title VI program—
o Recommended approval of the Title VI plan/program which was later approved by the
Board and FTA.
• Bus Schedule Redesign—
o Included more detail information to the public.
• Service Development Grant—
o Reviewed application submitted by staff for the implementation of a new route,which
will provide access to the Social Security office and the County Regional Park.
o Grant was approved and route has been successfully implemented.
• LINC Route—
o Helped advise staff with the continued coordination with LeeTran,FDOT and the Lee
MPO to ensure continued operations of the LINC route.
• Transit Development Plan Major—
o Served as a Task Force Committee for the Transit Development Plan(TDP)planning
process;
Packet Page-1901-
3/22/2016 17.C.
o Helped with the development of goals and objectives for the future of transit in Collier
County;and
o Provide feedback and advice to staff and vendors towards improving operations and
efficiencies.
Because of the committee's involvement, the transit system has made significant improvements. Staff
believes that the committee can continue to provide this valued contribution to the system as a permanent
advisory committee. Member participants will continue to provide insight on the issues and concerns
from their perspective and provide information relating to operations and funding for transit as it currently
exists and as projected in the future.
The attached Ordinance is proposed to establish a permanent Public Transit Advisory Committee to be
made up of transit users, representatives from large employers, health care providers, social services,
transportation and planning professionals,as well as one representative designated by the School District.
Membership on the committee is governed by Ordinance No. 2001-55, as amended. However, an
exemption to the residency requirement has been provided in the proposed ordinance to allow
consideration of applicants who are representatives of large employers so long as the large employer is
located within Collier County. The Board saw value in having representation of a large employer on the
committee when it identified it as a desired membership on the PTAC. Staff has received applications to
serve on the committee from representatives of large employers located in Collier County but each time
the applicant resided outside of the County. Because of the regional nature of employment this will
continue to be a barrier to getting the insight from a large employer on this committee if this exemption is
not provided. The Ordinance provides for terms of the appointed committee members and is reducing the
number of members from nine to seven. There are existing members serving on the Ad Hoc advisory
committee. Staff recommends that the existing members be allowed to continue to serve, by appointing
them for the following initial terms:
Mr.Arthur E.Dobberstein Transportation/Planning Prof. 3 years
Mr.Richard Duggan School District Representative 2 years
Mr.Dylan Michael Vogel Transit Rider 3 years
Mr.John DiMarco,III Transit Rider 3 years
Mr.Harold G.Weeks Transit Rider 2 years
Notice of vacancies to this Committee was duly sent out and two applications were received. However
one of the applicants has withdrawn her application for personal reasons. Staff recommends that the
remaining applicant be appointed to the Committee as a new member and post the remaining vacancy.
Mr. Christo'her Gavrelis Re i resentative of Lar:e Em I lo er 1 year
Mr. Gavrelis is a resident and elector of Lee County and in appointing him to this Committee the Board
will be waiving the Collier County residency requirements established for advisory committee members
in Ordinance 2001-55,as amended.Attached is a Resolution appointing the members to the Committee as
stated above. /* 1
Packet Page-1902-
3/22/2016 17.C.
The Proposed Ordinance was duly advertised in a newspaper of general circulation on Friday, March 11,
2016. See attached legal advertisement. The Board authorized moving this item forward at the March 8,
2016 meeting with Agenda item 16D11.
FISCAL IMPACT: The establishment of a Public Transit Advisory Committee will require staff
administration including but not limited to scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, keeping minutes,
follow up items,etc. These functions are incorporated in an existing full time employee's responsibility.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires a
majority vote for Board approval.—ERP
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
executive summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board enact an Ordinance which converts the Public Transit
Advisory Committee from an ad hoc committee to a permanent advisory board; appoint the current five
members of the ad hoc committee to the permanent advisory board,together with one additional member;
and approve a Resolution of appointment of these members to this Committee.
