to the paratransit function of the City.
Contact: Lisa Ploss,
Secretary, 644-6050
City Manager Report
Recommendation: Not
approve the recommendation from the Commission on Aging.
Its adoption would result in the loss of a major tool used to help
reduce traffic congestion, and a service used by thousands.
Over 165,000 transit tickets and passes are sold each year,
including 25,000 senior tickets per year.
Berkeley TRiP's hours of operation have remained virtually the same
over the past several years. They
are currently open 42.5 hours per week, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. Since 1982 Council has partially funded Berkeley TRiP.
In recent years the annual allocation has been $75,400.
Of this amount, $25,000 comes from the Golden Bear Project
Mitigation fund and could not be used for paratransit services.
At the May 23, 2000 meeting, Council referred a Transportation
Commission request for an increase in funding for the Berkeley TRiP
project, needed to keep TRiP operational, to the budget process.

limitations for bringing charges of perjury does not expire; and 3)
formally requesting that, before the time period for bringing criminal
charges for perjury expires, the Alameda County District Attorney conduct
an independent review of the evidence to determine if Sgt. Randolph Files
engaged in perjury, false arrest, assault, or any other criminal
misconduct in the case of People v. Kahlil Jacobs-Fantauzzi.
