Provision of bus passes and bus tickets was suspended in April when SamTrans <br />stopped fee collection due to COVID19 health and safety concerns. <br />Fair Oaks Community Center resumed providing bus passes and bus tickets in mid-August when SamTrans <br />reinstated fee collection for all SamTrans routes. <br />Amendment No. 2 allows for reimbursement of transportation expenses from July 1, 2019 — December <br />30, 2020. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The proposed amendment provides an additional $25,000 to the original agreement, not to exceed <br />$1,084,001. The additional funds are designated for transportation assistance for clients in the form of <br />bus passes and bus tickets. <br />Additional revenue and expenditure beyond what is already budgeted will be submitted as a mid -year <br />budget adjustment for FY 2020-21. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcitV.org <br />177 <br />
