Active Transportation Plan - Update Workshop Meeting Minutes March 22, 2023, Page | 1 Principal Planner Kamak provided an update to the Active Transportation Plan (ATP), the work that has been done so far and what to expect in the coming months. The ATP is a subset of the City’s existing Transportation Plan. The Transportation Plan was updated in 2016. As part of that update, steps were taken to have a more in-depth look at walkability, bike-ability, and so on, as elements of the Comprehensive Plan. In November 2022, the City hired consultant group Toole Design, to help with creating its first Active Transportation Plan. The Plan will identify strategies to improve conditions for walking, biking, and rolling throughout the City. It will identify and prioritize projects that will improve safety, access and connectivity of pedestrian and bicycle networks; develop a strategy for funding, implementation, and maintenance; and improve coordination across City departments to advance equitable and sustainable travel options. WSDOT approved the contract in December of 2022, with the first project meeting in January 2023. Planner Kamak also reviewed Island County Regional Transportation grant funding. Planner Kamak reviewed the process for the update. The City has formed a team of employees that meet with the consultants every two weeks to advance the project. He noted tremendous progress has been made with the existing conditions analysis and work in ongoing preparation for project launch and public input. He reviewed the community engagement plan, which will include: Steering Committee formation Focus Groups Print and web communication Stakeholders walk/bike ride Interactive Web Map and Survey Pop-up event Timelines Items will include: Key person interviews Development Services – policies, development review, design guidelines etc. Public Works – Streets, Engineering, Utilities Draft Survey and Web map Public Launch Date April 3rd Network Analysis – Technical approach ATP Plan Outline Draft criteria A steering committee meeting on April 20th and a meeting with focus groups on April 28th. Community engagement is planned for a booth at Holland Happening April 29th and 30th, online forms for survey and comments, at the entrance to the local Safeway Store. A public web page is being developed. Councilmembers Munns, Hoffmire, Marshall and Mayor Pro Tem Hizon provided their respective questions and comments. PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT a. Purchase Authorization – Parks and Recreation Bus Senior Services Administrator Lange reviewed the recommendation for the purchase of a wheelchair accessible, 14 passengers + driver, non CDL, "coach" bus for the sustainability of current and future recreational programming needs for the community. The funds for the purchase are available in the vehicle replacement Senior Services fund. Administrator Lange explained the cost of using a charter Workshop Meeting Minutes March 22, 2023, Page | 2 service for the transportation of the current travel program has significantly increased over the last four years and has become cost prohibitive. A decline in ridership and higher rate of tours canceled are in direct correlation to the high-cost increase which has become too high for many low- and fixed- income seniors. The travel program provides older adults who don't otherwise have the ability to leave the island to enjoy cultural, shopping, and other opportunities. Charter rate fees: Charter rate in 2019 was $2.38 a mile + $18 an hour + $23.80 service fee. The Current charter rate is now over $3.00 a mile + $57 an hour + $57 service fee. The City owned and operated a 2009, 25 passenger bus in the past, however that vehicle required a CDL licenses driver and additional Department of Transportation regulations. The City sold the bus at auction in 2020. An In-house operating rate would be approx. $2.50 a mile, $25 an hour The in-house operating rate includes vehicle replacement funds, operating and maintenance fees, insurance, and fuel. The bus, the size of which is commonly called a "coach", will be operated by city employees. Once the bus is delivered two .25FTE bus drivers will be created and hired. A bus of this size does not require a CDL license endorsement. This will not increase the current budget expenses, as the wage will be covered by the program revenue currently being paid to the charter company. Administrator Lange explained by bringing the transportation back in house and purchasing a smaller size bus the department will have the flexibility to offer more affordable rates as well as allow for more trips that have smaller groups to travel. For trips that sell over 14 passengers we still have the option to charter a larger bus as needed. The charter company the City has been using does not have the ability to travel into Canada. With transportation in-house, the Center can resume its popular trips into Canada. There are also opportunities and interest to use the bus for additional community groups associated with parks and recreation. Those with an interest in utilizing the bus include North Whidbey Pool, Park, and Recreation, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, and the potential for shuttling visiting boaters from the Marina to the downtown. The Center currently has $100,000 in the 502 Fund. Quotes on a bus are running in the range of $120,000-130,000. Staff will look at ways to secure funds before bringing the item back to the Council for approval. Councilmembers Hoffmire, Stucky, Munns and Mayor Pro Tem Hizon provided their respective questions and comments. This item will be brought to Council for approval at a future meeting. ADMINISTRATION a.
