DISCUSSION On March 15, 2016 the City Council approved an agreement amendment with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to modify the existing scope. Since then, OCTA has indicated that a Service Plan (Exhibit 1) in the format developed by OCTA needs to be approved by the City Council before OCTA staff can draft an agreement amendment to present to the OCTA board for approval. Once approved by the OCTA board, the agreement amendment will be brought back to the City Council for approval at a future council date. OCTA developed the Senior Mobility Program for the purpose of improving transportation services for seniors in the region. Under this service plan, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency provides transportation services for residents 60 years of age and older for senior center classes/nutrition programs, shopping, personal care, special events, social/recreation activities. All trips must be within Orange County or within 10 miles of the County border if the trips are medical in nature. The current term of the agreement is for 5 years and expires on June 30, 2016. The agreement is subject to extension for another 5 year period, through June 30, 2021, at the discretion of OCTA. As required by OCTA's Senior Mobility Program Guidelines recently enacted, once approved, the new service plan will ensure that the modified scope of services remains effective through any extension period. 19G-1
