OPERATING IN THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY. PREPARED BY Park Morse (336-424 EXPLANATION Acting City Manager DEPARTMENT City Manager The May 6, 2003, Council Agenda contained an item from the Police Department recommending the renewal of an agreement with MTDB (Metropolitan Transit Development Board) regulating paratransit/taxicab service in the City. The then proposed renewal would have been for a successor 5-year period. At the May 6, meeting , the City Council elected to defer the item while certain policy issues were addressed. As a result, a temporary 90-day agreement extension was brought forward at the July 1, City Council meeting. At that time an extension until September 30, 2003, was approved. The September 30 agreement expiration is approaching. Staff understands that the policy issues may not yet be fully resolved and in that light an additional 90-day extension to the MTDB agreement may be appropriate at this time. The City Attorney has crafted a resolution authorizing an additional 90-day extension, and it is attached to this agenda report . The proposed extension will be slightly different in it's execution from the first extension Mrancr of timing. There is not sufficient time to bring this proposed 90-day extension before MTDB between now and the September 30, expiration date. Accordingly, Staff has designed the process so that if City Council adopts this agenda item tonight, authority will be delegated to the Mayor to execute a new 90-day extension agreement which will be drafted and forwarded to MTDB after night's City Council Meeting.
