Executive Summary:
This is a housekeeping item to declare surplus public works pickup truck #86 (1997, F-
150). This truck will be placed on the State’s I-Bid auction system. The vehicle was used
primarily for downtown streetscape work. The truck has some mechanical problems and
is beyond our 10 year rule-of-thumb for service life. It is our intention to replace this
vehicle with a work van as part of the approved 2014 budget.

Executive Summary:
This is a housekeeping item to declare as surplus the public works street sweeper. The
sweeper will be placed on the State’s I-Bid auction system. The street sweeping work has
been contracted out, so we no longer have the need to keep a sweeper in-house. In
addition, the sweeper has had many mechanical problems and is a year 2002 vehicle, so
it’s beyond our 10 year rule-of-thumb for service life. We recently sent the sweeper in for
a maintenance checkup, and to get it back to good working order would cost $24,000.
The estimated “as-is” value of the sweeper is $10,000.

Executive Summary:
On July 6, 2010 the City Council approved Resolution 2010-65 granting conditional site plan approval
of building and parking lot expansions for property located at 2202 Gary Lane. The plans would add
1,500 square feet of office area and 2,500 square feet of warehouse area to the existing building. The
plans would also add 9 light industrial rental spaces to the back of the building, each with an area of
2,200 square feet. A total of 48 additional parking spaces would be added and the existing gravel
surface and outside storage area would be removed. The Geneva Zoning Ordinance allows Site Plan
approvals to be effective for one year. The original Site Plan Approval would have expired on July 6,
2011 but the owner has twice been granted a one-year extension by the City Council. The owner has
requested a third extension since the Site Plan Approval will now expire on July 6, 2013 and
construction has not commenced nor has a building permit been issued for the approved project. The
applicant has requested to extend the deadline by another year until July 6, 2014.

The Ride in Kane (RIK) transportation program agreement is for May 2013 – June 2014.
The City’s commitment would only be through April 2014, subject to approval of the
FY2014-15 budget. The City Council approved allocations of $35,000 in the FY2013-14
GF Budget to cover anticipated RIK transportation costs. This program is authorized and
funded by the RTA/PACE (in conjunction with federal funds) on an annual basis.
Executive Summary:
The Ride in Kane Program was implemented in February 2008 and provides community
access for senior citizens 65 years or older and persons with disabilities. Ride in Kane
replaced the St. Charles/Geneva Dial a Ride program which was limited to day time
service and rides only within St. Charles and Geneva. Under the Ride in Kane Program,
riders have the opportunity to access locations anywhere in the County and are also able
to obtain door-to-door transportation service in the evenings and on weekends. Through
a centralized call center, Ride in Kane dispatches taxis, Pace lift-equipped buses, and
other service providers’ vehicles for demand-response, curb-to-curb transportation. This
Program was made possible by federal grants from the New Freedom Initiative (NFI) and
Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) awarded from the Regional Transportation
Authority (RTA), as well as contributions from participating agencies. The fare for the
service is $3.00 per ride for rides up to ten miles and $1.50 per mile for each mile over
ten miles. Several government and human services organizations have created a
partnership and collectively committed $1.3 million to meet the local match requirements
of the JARC/NFI grant programs. Partners include: Aurora Township, City of Elgin,
Elgin Township, Association for Individual Development, Senior Services Association,
Dundee Township, City of Geneva, City of St. Charles, St. Charles Township, City of
Batavia, Batavia Township, Village of Gilberts, INC Board, Marklund, Village of South
Elgin, Blackberry Township, Campton Township, Village of Campton Hills, Kaneville
Township, Two Rivers Head Start, and Hesed House. City Hall staff accepts
registrations and we currently have approximately forty (40) Geneva residents who

REPORT(S) DESCRIPTION
The following is a list and brief description of each category of reports which have been designed and are
being produced to generate data for the Ride in Kane project.
1. Detailed Funding Source (Sponsor) Report
The intent of this report is to produce a detailed listing of one-way trips delivered for each Ride in
Kane funding sources (sponsor) for a user specified period of time. The normal report period
would be monthly, but the report is intended to have the flexibility to produce data for shorter or
longer periods as specified by the user.
The report is intended to match the design and content, as closely as possible, of the Detailed
Provider Report. Data provided for each trip will include associated trip data such as rider name,
scheduled pick-up time, actual pick-up time, point of origin address, destination address, funding
sources (sponsors), total cost of the trip, fare for the trip, distance of the trip, revenue hours (if
applicable). The exact content of the report in its final form may vary depending on the feasibility
of including the large amount of data specified in one report. It is possible that the report may be
broken into one or more additional reports to make the data more manageable for the user.
Plans call for the report to be sorted by provider, funding source, rider, and fare type.
2. Monthly Source (Sponsor) Invoice Report
The intent of this report is to produce one or more summary reports of trips delivered for each
funding sources (sponsor) for the purposes of generating an invoice type report which may be used
to bill funding sources for transportation provided. The normal report period would be monthly,
but the report is intended to have the flexibility to produce data for shorter or longer periods
specified by the user.
Data provided for each trip will include associated trip data necessary to provide an accounting of
the amount owed by each funding source for the specified period, such as the number of one-way
trips by Fare Type, total cost of the trips, total expected fare, liquidated damages deducted, the
total net reimbursement. The exact content of the port in its final form may vary depending on
Pace and provider needs. The report may be broken into one or more additional reports if that
design is more useful.
Plans call for the report to be sorted by provider, funding source, fare type, and rider.
3. Missed Trip Report
The Missed Trip Report is intended to produce a list of all trips picked up 61 or more minutes after
the scheduled time; the Ride in Kane service guideline defining a missed trip. Sufficient detail
will be provided to identify the trip within Trapeze and to give the report user the necessary
information for review.
4. On-Time Performance Report
The On-Time Performance Report (late pickups) is intended to produce a list of all trips picked up
16 or more minutes late, the Ride in Kane service guideline defining a late trip. Sufficient detail
will be provided to identify the trip within Trapeze and to give the report user the necessary
information for review.
