<br />Council explaining different aspects of the outreach. Ms. Maley-Grubl said that 100 <br />entries were submitted to name the on demand shuttle. She thanked Vice Mayor Howard <br />for her commitment to this program. She named other people who have made meaningful <br />contributions and have been invested in the success of the program. <br /> <br />Council asked questions about the program and its use. There was a suggestion to speak <br />with St. Anthony's and see if services could be combined since they also have a shuttle. It <br />was also mentioned that Casa de Redwood uses the shuttle with frequency. The TDM <br />(Transportation Demand Management) was discussed and Mr. Ingram said that this falls <br />under the environmental review process for most projects. The City Manager added that <br />on larger projects this is looked at separately. <br /> <br />One Council Member still hopes to get more updates to better understand the community <br />benefit justifying the existence of an on demand shuttle. It was requested that sporadic <br />updates be provided to Council regarding the benchmarks. One Council Member would <br />also like to know why people use the service i.e., is it convenience, cost, or environmental <br />reason. More specifically the question posed was what community need is being met by <br />the "on demand" shuttle. <br /> <br />There was a note of caution regarding approaching St. Anthony's and committing to a <br />partnership. Instead it was suggested that a conversation take place between the two <br />providers to better understand the roles and routes of each shuttle. This will also enable <br />sharing of information without negating each others' role or one taking over the other. <br /> <br />M/S Pierce/Ira to approve the item. Motion carries unanimously by electronic vote. <br />Vice Mayor Howard thanked the task force and the Council. Mayor Foust announced that <br />the winner that named the shuttle will be at a Council Meeting in January 2009. <br /> <br />B.
