Council tables senior transportation contract after questions over pricing
Summary
Council tabled Resolution 2025-49, which would renew a contract with Senior Transportation Connection for 2026 service, after councilmembers raised questions about the contract's fee schedule and unclear pricing. Finance staff reported 461 trips and $16,679.14 in invoiced costs for the year to date.
Council discussed a proposed transportation services contract with Senior Transportation Connection for senior and ADA-certified rides in 2026 but voted to table the item to obtain clearer pricing and usage data.
Mayor Brennan urged approval, saying the service is essential for seniors aging in place and that the city planned to hold the co-pay at $3 per ride. Finance Director Katie Iaconis told council there were 461 trips billed through October, totaling $16,679.14. Councilmember John Rach said he was confused by the contract’s fee schedule, noting language about $43 per one-way passenger trip, a separate $100 per one-way rate for group transit activities, and a $1,000 rate for up to five individuals that suggested different per-person math. The council agreed to table Resolution 2025-49 until staff could provide clearer cost breakdowns and any necessary corrections.
Next steps: Finance staff will clarify the pricing breakdown and return the item to council at a future meeting.
