Mr. Wilson answered that at present he does not have the <br /> personnel or accounting system to enable him to give this kind of <br /> information, but h~ is in the process of a system which would <br /> identify costs by van and by driver. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gatewood suggested that action be deferred on this request <br /> and in the meantime try to develop the information requested. <br /> <br /> The main points of information requested were: ridership and cost <br /> for each agency; ridership and cost in the City; and ridership and <br /> cost for each county; and also the cost split between rural and <br /> urban operations. <br /> <br /> Mr. Albro stated he would like to have some firm information <br /> regarding the willingness of other jurisdictions that are served <br /> by JAUNT. to contribute to this $12,000 loan. He stated that he <br /> personally could non vote for a $36,000 loan to keep a district <br /> wide transporation system going with no guarantee that any of that <br /> money would ever come back to the City and with no financial <br /> commitment of any kind from other jurisdictions served by JAUNT. <br /> <br /> The Mayor asked Mr. Wilson if he had applied to the other <br /> jurisdictions for funds and Mr? Wilson answered that he had some <br /> discussions with Albemarle County and he hoped to have some with <br /> Nelson in the near future. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck suggested that the Council make a commitment to pay <br /> its fair share for the use of this service for residents of the <br /> City for a period of time while this information is being gathered. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gatewood stated that rather than the City funding the <br /> short term income for JAUNT to continue to operate that JAUNT <br /> instead change its method of operation, so ~at its expenses are <br /> reduced to the extent that it can continue to operate on a reduced <br /> basis. <br /> <br /> A motion by Mr. Buck, seconded by Mrs, O'Brien that the City <br />agree to loan funds to JAUNT for a ninety day period based up to <br />a maximum of 47% of the deficit during that period with a maximum <br />of deficit allowable of $12,000 per month and those figures would <br />be later subject to adjustment based on the actual cost of <br />providing the services for residents of Charlottesville, with the <br />condition that other jurisdictions receiving the services commit <br />a similar amount for their share of the services and if they are <br />unwilling to do so that their services be cut; and that JAUNT <br />cooperate with the staff to make those changes necessary in their <br />accounting system to provide the information necessary for the <br />staff to make a proper evaluation, was adopted by the following <br />recorded vone. Ayes: Mr. Brunton, Mr. Buck and Mrs. O'Brien. <br />Noes: Mr. Albro and Mr. Gatewood. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mrs. O'Brien, seconded by Mr. Buck the following <br />resolution was offered and carried over to the next meeting for <br />consideration. <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottes- <br />ville that the sum of $16,920.00 is hereby appropriated from the <br />unappropriated balance of the General Fund to expenditure account <br />01-92390, as a contribution to the operations of Jefferson Area <br />United Transportation, Incorporated (JAUNT), a non-profit <br />chairtable corporation; provided (1) that such sum shall be paid <br /> <br /> <br />
