DPT budget problems are manageable without making any real adjustments to their daily operations. - Concern from David Pilpel that restrictions on overtime may result in unplanned service cuts. · Currently the MUNI deficit of $53.7 million combined with the DPT deficit of $1.3 million for “FY06” is at $55 million due to loss of One-time revenues, lack of service cuts and increases in salary, benefits, retirement and fuel costs. The proposed solutions for FY2006 is MUNI fare increases, service reductions, and DPT fines, parking meter rates, garage rates, residential parking permits and contractor permits. - Question from audience, what fare increases? Ms Gaffney responds 2 options: § Possibly looking at cash fares $1.50 and fast pass increased $50.00, or § Possibly looking at cash fares $1.75 and fast pass increased $60.00. - Concern from Bruce Oka that without the $1.75 fare increase, any service reductions for Para transit may force the handicap and seniors to using the more costly option of private transport services. - Concern from Griffith Humphry that deferred maintenance on MUNI vehicles will affect unscheduled service cuts. - Question from Dan Murphy, is fare evasion a problem that needs to be addressed. Ms. Gaffney responds that while violators does not appear to be a major problem a pilot program is being considered to redirect boarders to the front of the bus. - Bruce Oka comments that drivers have allowed rear entrance for passengers because of crowding. - Daniel Murphy suggests spot-checking might be beneficial. · Daniel Murphy wishes more time for the FAC to review the 05/06 budget proposal. The FAC will meet again February 7, 2005 to further review and discuss budget solutions. The full CAC meeting will be moved from February 3, 2005 to that following week. 7. Adjournment: 4:20 p.m. |
