ITEM 1~ITLE Resolution g~ 3~( Requesting MTDB and CPO to Hold $200, 000
of Chula Vista's FY 1979 LTF Reserves
SUBMI TED BY Director of Public Works
ITEM XPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES N0~)
A the March 8 Council Conference, staff discussed the City's bus
n eds in terms of the disadvantages of continuing operation of the
p esent 19 year old CVT fleet and the necessity of purchasing newer
t ansit coaches. Staff recommended the purchase in FY 1980 of 14
u ed buses in good condition at a cost of $25,000 each (or $350,000
t tal) or the purchase of ~4 older buses and then remanufacturing
o renovating them at $50,000 each (or $700,000 total spread over
2 years). These buses will be maintained by Aztec until the proposed
m intenance facility is built.
T e purchase of these used buses is in line with the 1976 5-year
T ansit Development Plan (TDP) service expansion improvements but
d viates from its recommendation of City purchase of new buses. The
s aff's decision not to recommend the purchase of new buses ti•as based
o the following factors:
1. Council's decision to deviate from the TDP and not accept Federal
transit operating or capital grant funds.
2. A good many transit maintenance people around the country operating
the new advance design buses have reported unreliability problems.
They have recommended not purchasing these new buses for a couple
of years until specific technological problems can be worked out.
3. New buses cost about $130,000 and are estimated to last only
10 years (thus a $13,000/year cost) while used buses in good
condition cost about $25,000 and should operate for about 5 years
(at a $5,000/year cost).

Supplemental Page Two
A the Council Conference, staff discussed the City continuing on
t e path of implementing the TDP recommended CVT service improvements
i FY 1980 as well as retain the 3 San Diego Transit inter-city routes
a d purchase the 14 used buses. However, in so doing it would fall
a out $200,000 short, taking into account all available state and
1 cal funding sources. It is estimated that $4,500/month would
b saved from not having to lease buses from Aztec as well as a minor
r duction in expenses for maintenance of the present CVT fleet.
U der Article 4, Section 99268.7 of the 1979 State Transportation
D velopment Act, eligible transit operators may use their appropriated
b t unallocated LTF funds (or LTF reserve funds) for capital intensive
t ansit-related improvements. The acquisition of transit vehicles
a d rolling stock are considered acceptable capital intensive improvements.
T e City's request to put a hold on $200,000 of its FY 1979 LTF
r serves should be into MTDB by April 15 in order for the Board to
a t on this and forward its determination to CPO prior to the expiration
o FY 1979. MTDB then would have to forward its approval to CPO,
w ich in turn must approve the use of these FY 1979 LTF reserve funds
b the City to purchase the 14 used buses in FY 1980.
