EXPLANATION Ext.4514
DEPARTMENT POLICE
In July, 1998, the City extended for five (5) years an agreement with the MTDB allowing MTDB to regulate para
transit vehicles operating in the City. The agreement expires June 30, 2003.
A new contract for an additional five years was originally on the council agenda for the May 6, 2003 meeting and
taken off of the agenda because of questions about the contract. The agreement attached to this Council Agenda
Statement is an extension of the existing agreement for 90 days, July, 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003. This
extension of the existing agreement will allow MTDB to regulate and license the para transit vehicles operating in the
City of National City until all concerns are addressed.
With approval of this extension of the existing agreement, MTDB continues the licensing and regulation duties at no
cost to the City. Advantages of contracting with the MTDB for this service include: 1) Reduce potential City Liability;
2) Schedules inspections of vehicles by trained mechanics; 3) Proactive enforcement of rules and regulations
pertaining to rates, operation of vehicles, licensing, proper equipment, etc. by trained MTDB employees; 4) A system
to handle passenger complaints; and 5) A set of administrative appeals procedures.
The cities of El Cajon, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Diego, and Santee also have agreements with
I MTDB for the same services.
