appropriation to purchase materials for signage for the Community <br />Coach (Transportation for the Transportation Disadvantaged) bus <br />stop signs. At that time 36 signs were fabricated and installed by <br />Indian River County Traffic Engineering Division Personnel. Mr. <br />Tom Fritz, Transportation Supervisor has proposed a larger route to <br />incorporate more areas of the County, therefore requiring more <br />signs. The total cost incurred to date and proposed is as follows: <br />10/20/92 Beginning Balance <br />11/92 36 signs (Material Only) <br />3/93 67 proposed signs <br />(Material Only) <br />3/93 (Schedules & Blanks) <br />+$2,000.00(appropriation) <br />=$1,052.17 complete <br />=$11783.54 not completed <br />=$ 400.00 not completed <br />-$1,235.71 SHORT <br />To implement the proposed new route $835.71 is needed to purchase <br />the materials for the signage. In addition to this, Mr. Fritz is <br />requesting that the County appropriate $400.00 for the cost of the <br />schedule that would be attached to each sign post. The schedule <br />would be printed on a sticker that would then be placed on an <br />aluminum blank. The County furnished the labor to fabricate and <br />install the signs at no charge for the previous route. The total <br />additional monies required is $1,235.71. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />Alternative #1 - To approve an additional $1235.71 for the sign <br />materials and install the signs at no charge along County Right -of - <br />Way only. <br />Alternative #2 - To deny the request and have the Council on Aging <br />pay for the materials and install the signs themselves. <br />REC—WRIENDATIONS & FUNDING <br />Staff recommends approval of Alternative #1. Funding will be from <br />general fund contingency. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked the Board to approve an additional <br />$1,235.71 for sign materials and the installation of the signs at <br />no charge along County right-of-way only, with funding from general <br />fund contingencies. <br />Mr. Tom Fritz, transportation director of the Council on <br />Aging, explained that their plans are to expand service to more <br />places, specifically Fellsmere, and to increase the number of stops <br />at pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Service will reach deeper <br />into the community. There are a number of people who called and <br />asked if they could get one of the coaches to deliver them to the <br />bus stop, so the Council is finding that they need to put more <br />stops on their route. It still remains that they will be going to <br />Gifford twice a week, getting up to north county once a week, and <br />south county twice a week. <br />96 <br />BOOK 8 8 NA;F 1102 <br />
