Council adopts contract extension for transit services at $22.65 per rider; Village Green contract set for second reading
Summary
The Greenville City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the mayor to extend a contract with Dark County Jobs & Family Services providing transit services at $22.65 per person each way and gave first reading to a similar Village Green Healthcare contract; council discussed ridership data and budget efficiency during the vote.
The Greenville City Council voted to authorize the mayor to enter into a contract extension with Dark County Jobs & Family Services for transit services, with compensation set at $22.65 per person, each way.
During discussion, council members asked staff for ridership data and measures of efficiency (rides per driver hour) to evaluate program performance; staff said they are compiling data and will provide a spreadsheet of two months’ worth of time-card and ridership information. The safety/finance discussion noted the transit budget was established with approximately $920,000 in revenue and estimated expenses near $1.2 million, prompting requests to monitor rides per driver hour and overall cost effectiveness.
The resolution was moved and adopted by roll call. The council also received the first reading of a separate resolution authorizing a contract with Village Green Healthcare for transit services at the same compensation rate; that item will return for a second reading at the next meeting.
Votes on the Job & Family Services resolution were recorded by roll call and showed the motion carried; specific named yes/no tallies were recorded on the transcript.
