Body
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends Council adopt the 592nd Amendment to the MFS Resolution No. 80-420 to add and revise Trolley Rental Fees for the General Government Section for the General Services Department.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The General Services Department is requesting approval to amend the Trolley Charter Fees established in January 2025. The General Services Department is proposing to decrease the rental fees due to the adjustment made to service days in March 2025, after charter rental fees were established. The reduction in regular service days resulted in a reduction in appropriations in the adopted FY2026 budget and lower cost to recover. The General Services Department is also proposing the addition of new standby rental fees. A standby rental rate refers to a situation where the trolley is chartered, however the vehicle is parked and not in use for a period of time. This will be helpful in situations where a customer charters transportation to concerts, weddings, or other events and the trolley vehicle will be parked during the event waiting for it to conclude. The time the trolley is parked waiting for the event to conclude will be billed as standby time.
The attached resolution to adopt the 592nd Amendment to the MFS Resolution No. 80-420 addresses fee changes in the General Government section.
